Day 2 of the World Building blog hop hosted by Sharon Bayliss. History The human Chikaran calendar starts at 0 EE (Elemental Epoch).

Blog Hop: Geography and Climate

Posted on January 28, 2013April 23, 2014 by Loni Townsend

I’ve decided to participate in my first ever blog hop. Since this is my first, I admit I don’t know quite what I’m doing, so bear with me. I heard of the blog hop via my critique partner and a fantastic writer, Aldrea Alien, and decided that I could probably join in with the fun….

Silver Star Kingdom to Thanmir War

Posted on January 19, 2013 by Loni Townsend

Fifteen-year-old me had an idea. How about write a story? As a huge fan of “magical girl” anime and fairies at the time, I started to formulate the following idea. A charming, superficial young man named Derek lives in California with his parents and brilliant little sister. He’s going to college for botany and dates…

Character Sketch – MaTisha

Posted on January 11, 2013April 23, 2014 by Loni Townsend

Here is my second character sketch. I’m happier with the way she turned out. I used the entire paper length, which I didn’t do with Derek. The black diamond is a little too high, which impeded my drawing of the pendant, and I was never very good at drawing cryptic symbols, so it looks more…

New Blog Name?!

Posted on January 6, 2013April 23, 2014 by Loni Townsend

I know, I know. Loni Townsend’s Blog is so… accurate. But I’ve recently stalked… er, read one of my critique partner’s guest post about bad blogging setups and realized that my blog name falls into the category of boring. So, Squirrel Talk. It was a play on “Girl Talk” and actually came to me years…

Sketching

Posted on January 5, 2013April 23, 2014 by Loni Townsend

I decided to try my hand at sketching today. I’ve never done much in the way of “realistic” drawing, having spent most of my artistic time on anime-style cartoons. But I bought a brand new sketchbook last night and my pencil demanded I give it a try. The flaws taunt and torment me—the left eye…

What I learned in 2012

Posted on December 31, 2012December 31, 2012 by Loni Townsend

It’s the last day of 2012. I’ve learned many things over the year, too many to really list, but here are the highlights: Life 1. Stop Crying People who have already raised children have been quick to offer advice about how to deal with temper tantrums. The one that I heard most often and used…

End and Begin

Posted on December 2, 2012December 2, 2012 by Loni Townsend

Though NaNoWriMo is a challenge to obtain a certain word count in a limited time frame, to me it was much more than that. *Cue sappy music* I won not because my fingers hit so many keys to create a set number of separated letter groups. No, I won because I forged friendships I would’ve…

Spotify

Posted on November 27, 2012November 27, 2012 by Loni Townsend

I decided to join Spotify some time back, but I never really paid much attention to how wonderful a product it actually is. I love music, dance constantly around my living room with my daughter, and have been looking for a decent playlist making system. Well hello! Spotify is great for making a playlist. And…

Victory

Posted on November 17, 2012 by Loni Townsend

I reached 50K. I danced. I celebrated. I patted myself on the back at my great accomplishment. After that, I started thinking about what I had written thus far and realized I didn’t like a character I had chosen to throw in because I didn’t know how to get rid of her and she kept…
