Meh, that happened to me before too, so don't sweat about it. T_T
          
          For sword-fights, she practices for around two hours a day, except when she's off for a break, which is usually for a day or so. She also does some sort of exercise every morning--do chores around the place, which usually involves running her unicorn around town and manual labor. 
          
          Pretty Weird and The Spyder Connection. ^_^ I'm finally deciding on making the main characters from different places. Like, Tanya, the main character, is a Filipino, there's a Canadian-Greek who lives in London, a guy who's literally Japanese-Chinese-American, an Indian-English girl, a French girl, an Aussie, another American, and another Brit. 
          Don't ask. xD

@ExpiNumber2228 Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth like that. I honestly don't know what happened.
          
          Yes, that's pretty realistic. Does she practice every day, or every week, or what?
          
          And I just started another project (this morning, but it already has 2000 words). It does involve fairy godmothers, but it's not the same as the handbook on fairy godmothers. The ones in this book are really witty (at least, I think so). What are you working on?

. . . *checks document* I think I've only written nine hundred words in the last week . . . T_T I hate myself. I WILL write after this!
          
          Haha, people wouldn't read/watch it if it took time. It is fiction, but I do want people who take time to learn something.
          Is this realistic? My character, Lore, knows how to use a sword decently. She's sixteen, and she's been learning since she was four when she started training daily with small wooden swords with knights. Although she's better at something else, she can defend herself for a couple of minutes until she gets fatigued and/or forgets to defend her neck as this is one of her weak points besides low stamina and being weaker than the other male knights.
          
          . . . I should do that . . . x_x

Sorry for late post; life kept me off the Internet. T_T
          
          I plan mine out first, and then write as I go. I even have a quick draft on my computer on what happens in the first three books of a series. The problem?
          I. Can. Never. Force myself. To write when I desperately. Need. It.
          You should try researching on the sword lessons a bit! Originally a character was supposed to be decent using the sword, but I researched and it takes quite awhile . . . not to mention he's eleven. xD The father part is okay, I've seen it in a couple of stories before. 
          
          I got an idea for that--how about the MC/the author writes it down, and then you can downplay her life? Like the intro of every chapter could be a snippet of the guide, and then the story narrates her life. It just popped into my head xD
          Try to check the number of projects you have first before you start! You need time to write novels . . . something I don't do. -_-
          
          Don't ask. Recently, I have another idea for a book just because I got a title . . . it's 'Sweet Discord'. It was just too good to pass off . . . x_x
