Hello, sweethearts!
Ever got stuck on a character that you're writing? Well, here's a set of questions that can help with that problem. Bookmark it. Might come handy :)
And while we're at it, Sindrow wrote an example of what you can do with a Character Development.
Have fun with the experiment,
us.

Hellooo!
It's been quite a while! Sorry, we're all caught up with school, work, and life in general.
We don't really have a lot to tell except that we just posted a new story from Sindrow called 'Shrines'. So we hope you'll enjoy that one.
Also, Sindrow posted a little bit of the background to that latest story in our blog section. So... yeah, go ahead and read on.
May y'all be inspired (even if it's just a tiny little bit),

Hello, dear readers. Before we continue, let us say,
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!
We believe it's going to be a beautiful and creative year! Yay, let's drink to that!
-----
On to the stories, we have a new (and rare, if we might add) one from Ms. Runi. Click to read Jack and Sally*. Just a little note, there will be a lot of references from movies and stories, so you might want to have Google on standby.
Have a nice year! =)

New commenting system
Dear readers,
we got a new commenting system now, yaaayy!
you can leave a comment as a Guest, or as a JS-Kit or HaloScan member, or even cooler: a Facebook user-- when you leave a comment here, the system will recognize your profile and so will everybody else. real profiles, real people. supposedly, what you write here will appear on facebook. haven't really figure it out how, but let's just assume it'll appear either on you wall or your friends' homepage :P what's certain is that people would be able to see your public search listing.
in a couple of days, we'll be able to retrieve the old comments for this blog and integrate them into the new system. that's cool.
what's even cooler, now you can reply directly to somebody else's comment. just click the reply button and you're all set.
you can add your avatar too by clicking on that avatar thing on the top right corner of the system box, if you like.
or post an image.
or embed a video, if you really must ;)
fyi, everything is moderated post-commenting. nothing past PG-13, ok?
now, comment already!
tee-hee.

Support Your Local Dreamers, Buy Our Book!
Penggambar MimpiHow: BalonUdara Publishing, 2008
Who: E. Nandiasari, Nilam Suri, Nurkastelia A., Runi Indrani
When: Out August 2008
Where: Local bookstores near you!
What: A book with twelve short stories compiled from four writers. The four culprits and the twelve dreams don't aim for anything complicated, because life already is. As colorful and as dark as you want it to be. A perfect companion for caffeine-less mornings, anxious noons, mindless afternoons, and even introspective nights.
Why: Just because people are longing for that light mix of punch on their bookshelves. Just because you need to support your local dreamers. And just because, of course.
