Guys, guys! I am ssoooo sorry for being horribly inactive - and if I seemed standoffish because of it. Thank you /very/ much for anyone who has commented or messaged me over the past year or so, I appreciate it beyond belief. I'll try my best to rev up my writing juices and see what comes of it. I suppose we'll see during the next couple of months.
          	
          	July is my holiday month between Uni semesters, so hopefully I'll be able to start and keep up with a steady flow of updates. Especially once it's over.
          	
          	And thank you very much for sticking around! My wish is that I'll be able to do a proper job of being an active author for all of you, hahah.

Hello! Nice to meet you fellow author~ I adore 'lies are entertainment' and really admire how you write so well, you have so many followers too!  I just wanted to mention that you're a really important role model for my writing and I was wondering if you had any tips to making a story line, I always get stuck on that...

MarzipanMahou

Ah, so sorry for the late reply!! I'm really lazy when it comes to checking my Wattpad account, sorrysorrysorry!!! Oh, uh, yes. Plots. Hm, well to be honest just for when I'm practicing writing, more often than not I let my plots be influenced by things going on around me (aka current events), published works I've read, music, art, etc. It doesn't have to influence the whole story - it may just kick you off and you'll be so inspired you'll just feel like writing the rest right out!!
            
            What I think a lot of people forget to do is make a skeleton of the story. Before you start writing you want to know the beginning and the end - the two slices of bread. Then you can put in the filling and make yourself a lovely sandwich. But when you don't have that skeleton to guide you while you're writing the story then you'll easily become stuck in a rut and lose interest. I know you may hate the process of making a skeleton (I know I do) because you just want to get right into the thick of it, but try to hold back and you'll do great ;3
            
            There's also this thing called the Snowflake Method which a lot of authors use and I myself have been trying to practice. Here's an overview of it; http://www.advancedfictionwriting.com/articles/snowflake-method/
            
            I'm really happy I'm such a role model to you (I'm sure I don't deserve it, huehue ;w;). Hope this somewhat helps you on your adventures as an author~!

I'll certainly have a think about it! I do love the settings and the overall feel - the stories are very quaint~ Are there any characters you were thinking of in particular, or is it just whatever fits?

@EtherealTonic No problem! n_n It gives me a little insight on how people from countries other than the US view the things that I never take a second glance at haha. I feel like it would get a tad annoying xD

@greyheart Yeah, exactly what I was thinking! Even in the PAL versions of the games, they've still got it spelled with the 'z', so I suppose that's the way to go. Thanks in bunches for the help ^_^

@EtherealTonic Hmm. That's an interesting situation you got there! I guess you should base your decision on your audience, not that I think any of them would care too much. I may be bias in my own opinion considering where i live, but I do tend to like it better with the z since I guess it sounds a little edgier. It just gives off more of that Axel feel, got it memorized? XD

I need help! Now we all know how there's Organization XIII and Axel's famed catchphrase, 'Got it memorized?' However, I suppose I should spell them all the American way, with a 'z', rather than an 's', the Australian and favoured British way. You'd all prefer it that way, with the 'z', huh? Let me know ^_^
