Just a random post!
Just a random post! Hi guys it is Grace here. Sorry for this stupid boring post but am out of ideas. I will write something more interesting soon. Meanwhile lets chat in the comments about anything but it has to be appropriate (And I LOVE politics and the news so comment something about that too if you want). For Week 23 at the AG Book Club we are reading: Cecile's Gift: Ceciles-Gift.pdf (americangirl.com) Ok Byeeeeeeeee-Grace😊
Random off topic question,
ReplyDeletehave you seen Ginny Di's videos. :)
Also I can't wait to read your new posts about the World By Us releases.
DeleteNo who is that person?
DeleteShe's an actor, singer, and she makes a lot of D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) related videos, here is the link to her channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/GinnyDi/videos
DeleteShe also makes POV RP (Point of view, Role Play) videos, and allows people to make responses to them. (I've made a response to one of them on my channel and blog).
Oh ok now I know. I watched some of her videos and I liked the POV videos especially the one with the nurse or healer lady. She has awesome videos.
DeleteGinny Di's POV videos are awesome, I agree. :)
DeleteOh yeah, that character is cool. :D
I like Ginny Di's blue hair it looks so pretty.
DeleteIt is. :D
Delete😁
DeleteDid you know you can make your own responses to her POV videos? :)
DeleteYes I know you can make comments on youtube.
DeleteI will go and comment on one her videos right now.
DeleteNo I actually mean't film a response, as in she lets you use the footage and film your own response, you won't get a copyright strict for using it.
Delete*strike
DeleteHere's a playlist of all the responses her audience made:
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsmjZYZs1ps1n9BuGgguBZqAGvIAlzgkh
(two of my responses are on there, they are the 20th and 21st on the list).
Oh cool.
DeleteI never knew you could do that on youtube.
DeleteFirst time I heard of that.
DeleteUsually you can't because of copyright issues, but she made these videos so that you can film your own response and include footage (all the footage) from her POV videos.
DeleteI will never make any of those videos because I do not like D&D and I am very busy right now.
DeleteI actually did one of those videos with characters who aren't D&D characters, so you don't have to like or do D&D to do it. And I wasn't telling you, you had to do it. Have you ever played D&D? I have several times.
DeleteNo never played D&D. What is that? I have to go. Sorry. Bye-Grace
DeleteIt's a roleplaying tabletop game, you create a character and then you pretend to be them during the campaign (game), here's some articles about it:
Deletehttps://dnd.wizards.com/get-started
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons
https://www.polygon.com/deals/21294556/dnd-how-to-play-dungeons-dragons-5e-guide-spells-dice-character-sheets-dm
I have played in three different campaigns and usually play elves.
It sounds very interesting! Thank you for the links Quinley.
DeleteYou're welcome, hope it gets you interested in D&D. ;)
DeleteD&D Sounds very cool!
DeleteSo anyway, outside of dolls what other things are you interested in? :)
DeleteLego and reading.
DeleteOh cool, what lego set do you like the most? And what are your favorite books?
DeleteAlso, are you excited for Halloween?
I like my Lego Friends school set the most. I am very exited for Halloween! My costume is going to be a unicorn.
DeleteOoh cool. :) And that's neat that you're going to be an unicorn, this year I may go as one of my characters. (Either Felix Moore, Matilda Moore, or someone else entirely).
DeleteThat is great! Please listen to this song it is my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKAM_Hk4eZ0&t=118s
DeleteIt is form the Hunger Games.
I have a question for you Quinley: Were you ever bullied online or in real life? I was never bullied online but in real life I was. When I was in 5th or 6th grade I used to go to a Mental Math school. At that school we learned how to add and subtract using the abacus and also how to do math problems in your head. Anyways there was a boy in that school who was bullying me. He was Indian looking. He was swearing at me, stole my food, did not allow me to play with everyone. One time he even kicked me in the stomach. I did not tell my mom and dad and then I finally told them. My parents told the school principal and that boy never came back to my mental math school ever again. I left the mental math school after my mom found out I was not doing anything there. I was not doing the mental math homework and was being lazy. -Grace
DeleteThank you, I listened to it, it is a spooky song. :) I have a song recommendation for you then:
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZTcoU9cHKA
It's a song by Blackbriar.
I've been bullied online and in real life. And I'm sorry that that happened to you.
DeleteThanks I will listen to the song right now.
DeleteOh ok. It is very sad when people bully online or in real life.
DeleteIt is, but if it's good to tell people (parents, moderators, etc.) so they can fix it or ban the person who is bullying you.
DeleteYou're welcome, I hope you like it. :)
DeleteNo I am not bulled online. But If someone does start to bully me I will tell my mom.
DeleteI like that song it is so beautiful.
DeleteI didn't say you were, I was actually talking about my own experience with being bullied alone and that if it starts happening, it is good to tell a moderator. :)
DeleteIf you listened to the song I sent you, what did you think of it?
Oh cool, glad you thought so. :) It's one of my favorite songs.
DeleteOk. Thank you for the advice Quinley. And I thought it was very romantic song.
DeleteI liked it. Thanks for sharing it with me.
DeleteSo why do you like the song?
DeleteThe reason I like "Until Eternity" is because I am currently plotting a story where the character reincarnate (also known as being reborn into another body) and every book follows their incarnations, so I felt this song best captured what the story was about. Given that there is a sub-plot where two characters who are in love knew each other in a past life, and also have a secret romance...it's complicated.
DeleteBut if you were talking about "Hanging Tree" I like because I feel like I could write a ghost story or thriller about it.
DeleteAlso here's another song recommendation, you may like Ginny Di's cover of song you sent me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYXbrrOtyg0
DeleteYou should make that story as dramatic as possible. I would make it that one of the characters cheats on the other. Then you could add a murder or some crazy family members in the story. That would be very interesting for me. I also watch a lot of Russian drama movies and shows when I go to my grandma's house. Those are very dramatic and there is a lot of lady's in them that steal the boyfriend of the main character or cause some other problems.
DeleteI watched the Ginny Di version of the song and I did not really like it. I liked the Jennifer Lawrence version better.
DeleteI do not know why. I just did not like it.
DeleteMaybe you could write a story involving the Hanging Tree song.
DeleteI don't think that would work for my story, the characters are in a secret relationship, and for them to cheat on each other would be very out of character.
DeleteThere is though a plot by some characters to take over the kingdom.
I am writing a murder mystery though, so some of your ideas could work there, just not in that story.
Okay, I just thought I'd show it to you...you don't have to like it.
DeleteI might...but it would be a short story probably.
DeleteBut I actually prefer Ginny Di's cover over the original.
DeleteOh ok! I can give you some short story ideas if you want.
DeleteSo why do you prefer Ginny Di song instead if the original? I like the original because Jenifer Lawrence has a amazing and creepy voice.
DeleteOh ok. But all the other Ginny Di songs are great.
DeleteWhat is the name of the murder mystery story you are writing?
DeleteI prefer Ginny Di's version because her voice is in my vocal range. :)
DeleteAnd I also just like her voice.
Which songs by Ginny Di are your favorite?
The murder mystery that I am writing is called The Mystery of the Body Thief. Also, I responded to the comment you left on my blog. :)
DeleteWhat ideas do you have? I would love to hear them. :)
DeleteI liked her "What a Magical World" music video. I loved how it was about the Harry Potter books.
DeleteYour murder mystery story sounds very interesting. I will go check out your reply to my comment on your blog.
DeleteMy ideas for your short story: You could make the story about two people who love each other very much and one day one of them gets hanged in the hanging tree for some crime that they did not do.
DeleteI replied to your comment here: https://adventure1359.blogspot.com/p/about-author_17.html?showComment=1634002431518
DeleteJust scroll down below.
Cool., I like Ginny's cover of "Jolly Sailor Bold" and her new EP "Songs to Drown Sailors To." :D
DeleteOooh that is a great idea. :D
DeleteOkay, thank you for letting me know. :)
DeleteYou are welcome!
DeleteI know right it is a great idea.
DeleteI never listened to those songs I will go and check them out on her channel.
DeleteThey're really good. ;) The songs that is.
DeleteI will use it. :D The idea you gave me.
DeleteAlso by the way I responded to your comment on my blog.
Ok! I will go check out your comment on your blog.
DeleteI listened to her new sailor song and I loved it!
DeleteOh cool, which song is your favorite? I like "Come In," "The Wave Soaked Maiden," "Seafarer's Lullaby" and "I am the Undertow."
DeleteI liked the song "Come in"
DeleteAlso did you know that this blog is close to 1000 comments?
DeleteAnd I have 13767 blogs views in total.
DeleteWOW! I never thought this blog would become so popular in nearly a year.
DeleteCongrats, Grace. :)
DeleteAlso I love the song "Come In" too.
DeleteThank you! This is the 1000th comment!
DeleteGinny Di has such a pretty voice.
DeleteYou're welcome and awesome!
DeleteAgreed. :D
DeleteHave you been writing any stories recently? :)
DeleteI've been writing Dolls of Wax, Eyes of Glass recently. :)
DeleteNo I am not writing any stories as of right now.
DeleteCool! When is your story going to be finished?
DeleteI know right it is awesome! I can not believe that I am so popular on blogger.
DeleteHow many comments do you have on your blog Quinley?
DeleteWhat stories have you written in the past then? :) I would love to hear about your writing.
DeleteI don't know, I don't have specific dates for things like this partly because I don't want to rush it, I know that I am probably going to finish the first draft probably sometime in 2022, but I don't have a date for when it will be published or anything like that.
DeleteI have 915 comments on my writing blog, Adventure Awaits, and 201 comments on my doll blog Q's Creative Corner.
DeleteHere is one of my past stories I wrote: The Haunted Motel (Part 1)
DeleteHailey Smith had just arrived at a creepy motel which is called Flamingo Motel.
The weird part was that it looked like no one cleaned it for years and the pool was dirty and had no water in it. The walls outside were painted a light pink colour and all the doors of the motel were white. It had an old fashioned rustic sign with some missing words and palm trees and pink flamingo on it.
Hailey’s family were traveling from Atlanta to Miami to visit her Grandma Jean and they stopped for the night on the way because they were tired and it was getting dark. On the front desk a lady said “Hi and welcome to the Flamingo Motel. Unfortunately at this time we only have one room, #13.” And her face became a bit worried. “ We will take it as there are no other choices.” Said Hailey’s Mom.
And they went to the room to settle down. The room had 2 big beds, one for Hailey and one for her parents and a very old fashioned table with free coffee and coffee maker. They were so tired, they just jumped into their beds. Everyone fell asleep in a minute.
After midnight some loud knocking sound woke up Hailey. It was very strange. She got out of her bed to investigate the sound and to find out where it was coming from. Hailey opened the door and she saw a ghost of a very creepy lady with a white dress that was torn and had blood on it. Her hair was black and her face was pale. Then the ghost opened her mouth and screamed very loudly but after that she suddenly vanished! Hailey was very scared and freaked out and she wanted to tell everything to her parents but they were sleeping and she didn't have any evidence. In the morning Hailey was packing her things and she found a picture and an earring in the closet. The lady in the picture looked just like the ghost that she saw last night, the photo was dated February, 27, 1950. Hailey decided to show the front desk lady the picture, maybe she had more information about this. The Front lady was so kind and so she told the story, “ Her name was Samanta Maxwell. She died in Room #13 in 1951. There are rumors that she was murdered in the room but we don’t know who really killed her. After that happened nobody wanted to check in this room and people started to see a ghost from time to time .” Hailey was in shock after that story. She just realized that she was sleeping in a murder room.
Oh wow you are very close to 1000 comments!
DeleteOh ok I understand.
DeleteI am still writing Part 2 of the Haunted Motel but I am busy so I can not write it as much.
DeleteThat's such a spooky story, I love it. I can't wait to read what happens next. Do you plan to post it or publish it once you're done writing it? :D
DeleteNo I will not post or publish it. Sorry.
DeleteWhat do you intend to do with it when you're doing writing then? :) It's a neat story, I really enjoyed reading it, Grace. I think you should (if you want to) continue writing it.
Delete*done not doing, sorry.
DeleteAlso I responded to a comment you left on one of my posts. :)
DeleteAlso random question, what are some of your favorite genres to write? I like writing Gothic and Fantasy.
DeleteI do not know what genre I like to write most.
DeleteIt is ok!
DeleteWait on what post did I comment on your blog I forgot please send the link.
DeleteI do not know what I will do with the story yet.
DeleteI am wondering how do you reply to comments so quickly. Also sorry if I do not respond right away to the comments I am just very busy.
DeleteI don't respond to comments super fast actually, I respond to them at my own pace, as I am busy too. I find a comment that would be the easiest to respond to first and then work my way around in responding that way, so I don't respond to them all at once.
DeleteHere's the post you commented on by the way: https://adventure1359.blogspot.com/2021/08/using-polls-to-create-art-4.html
What genres have you written in the most then? (Even if you don't have one that you like to write the most). I'd say for me I've written in the Fantasy genre the most.
DeleteAlso what do you like most about writing, creating the plot, or creating the characters? I like creating the characters.
DeleteI like creating the plot for my stories the most. When and why did you start your blog?
DeleteI started my blog in December 2020 when I was in 8th grade and I had always wanted a blog since I was in 4th grade. At first I made a blog on Wix.com (another website maker) but then found out it costs a lot of money to publish it and get a website link. It was very expensive because it was US dollars and I am in Canada. So I decided to make it on Blogger for free. I sent the link to this blog to everyone on American Girl news forum to advertise my blog.
DeleteThanks for sending me the link to your post I will go and check out your reply.
DeleteOh ok. I usually respond to blog comments all at once. I did not know that is how you reply to comments. Thanks for sending me the link to your post I will go and check out your reply.
DeleteI started blogging in 2016, I had wanted to find a way to share my art and I had wanted a blog (I ended up creating two blogs, Q's Creative Corner and Adventure Awaits), my first blog got noticed around 2017, before that I didn't really edit my posts before I posted them...so there were spelling errors. O.O
DeleteAdventure Awaits started out as a merely a writing and drawing blog, but it evolved over time to become a creative arts blog involving acting, animation, and singing as well as writing and drawing.
For Q's Creative Corner, I really wanted to make a doll blog, because I wanted to find others that are like me, it took me a long time though to get noticed my blog only really got noticed in 2021, and I started it in 2016. The reason it got noticed I figured out was doing tags helps people notice your blog, because when you make a tag post you link to other blogs.
What's your favorite part about blogging?
My favorite part of blogging is the comments and making posts. I never knew that it took you so long to get noticed on blogger. I got popular and noticed on blogger by just linking my blog on bigger doll blogging sites like AmericanGirlNews.com or DelightfulWorldOfDolls.com.
DeleteI also like making online friends that have same interests as me. My online friends are Quinley, Galatea, Ananbelle.
Here is how you can get more profile views: I usually do this and it is very simple. Go on your blogger profile and on the top of your screen there is a reload button. Click on the reload button a million times and you will get more blogger profile views very easily.
-Grace
Oh cool, I got my blog more noticed by people by doing tags, and used some sites (like NaNoWrimo and Wattpad) to get more attention, by linking my blog on my profile on those sites, given that people who like writing or drawing may like my blog. I had thought about doing something like that before (putting my blog's link on someone's blog) when I first started blogging, but honestly I would worry it would come off as spamming, since not everyone likes when people do that...
DeleteOh thank you, you're my online friend too. :D
Oh good idea.
My favorite part about blogging has to be the comments too, I really enjoy getting them, also writing the posts that part is fun too.
DeleteYes comments are the best and I like reading them too!
DeleteSo did you try my idea with the reloading of profile page to get more profile views? Did it work? I think linking your blog on someone elses blog is not spamming because you are not trying to advertise a product that is probably a scam. You are just advertising your doll blog on someone else doll blog.
DeleteYes I understand that, but I don't like advertising my blog unless I post a link to my blog to let someone know they're tagged or there is a "shout out your doll site" post where someone specifically asks for people to give links to their blogs. Otherwise I would worry they were interpret it as spam, some people are fine with it of course, I just don't like doing it myself.
DeleteI haven't tried it yet. But it's a good idea.
Agreed. :D
DeleteWhat are some of your favorite blogs? :)
They can be doll related or non-doll related, or both! :D
DeleteMy favorite doll blogs are, your blog, Sadie's blog, Annabelle's blog, American Girl Fan and so many more.
My favorite non-doll blogs, are Maith's Musings, Pretty Little Scribbles, Meri Greanleaf and so many more! :D
My favorite doll blogs are: Cinnamon Bears and Salsa AG, SAY Hello to my Little Friends, Delightful World of Dolls blog, The Bookworm blog, American Girl News blog, American Girl Fan blog, Q's Creative Corner (Your blog!), and more!
DeleteMy favorite non-doll blogs are: Adventure Awaits blog (Your other blog!), Blooming Elephant blog, Nancy Drew Sleuth blog, and that is about it!
Those are my favorite blogs!
DeleteYou can link your blog in the comment here on my blog if you like. I do not think it is spam and I am fine with it. I need to go! Bye!-Grace
DeleteI'm glad that you like my blogs. :) I have a lot of fun writing them. :D
DeleteYour blogs are awesome! I like writing my blog too!
DeleteThank you, your blog is awesome too. :)
DeleteYou are welcome! 🥰🤗

DeleteDid you see my comment I left on your blog?
DeleteYou're welcome. :)
DeleteAnd I did.
Oh ok! I will go and check it out.
DeleteOkay and just to let you know I've responded now, sorry that it took me a long time to respond.
DeleteI replied to your comment on your blog and it is ok!
DeleteThank you, also quick question would you be able to comment on my most recent post? :D (The one about asking for questions about my novel).
DeleteOk sure! I already commented and submitted the quiz.
DeleteThank you. :) And I answered two of your questions in my post. :D
DeleteI will go and check the post out!
DeleteYou are welcome!
DeleteOkay awesome. 💙
DeleteSo how has your writing been going since we last talked? :)
I am too busy with school to write and I did not even start on the Samantha movie review post yet! Sorry!-Grace
DeleteIt's alright.(You don't need to apologize) I was just wondering. I've been participating in NaNoWrimo, and got a lot of my novel written. :D
DeleteGreat that you got most of your novel done!
DeleteThank you. :)
DeleteOh and by the way I responded to your question that you posted on my doll blog, on What's Happening in This Picture. :D
You are welcome! I will go and check out your reply to my question.
DeleteThanks! I am making another World by Us Leaks post right now.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. :)
Delete🙂🙂😀
DeleteDo you have any pets? I have a cat.
DeleteI have dogs. :)
DeleteCool! 🐶🐶🐶🐶
DeleteThank you. :)
DeleteAre they cute dogs?
DeleteYes. :D
DeleteWhat is the funniest thing one of the dogs ever did?
DeleteWell this doesn't make sense if you don't know my dogs, but one of my dogs eats bananas in funny ways. What's the funniest thing your cat has ever done?
DeleteMy cat is pretty old and he doesn't do very much funny things.
DeleteWait I never knew that dogs can eat bananas.
DeleteThey can, not all dogs may like bananas, but my dogs do.
DeleteOh ok I just never really knew that some dogs like bananas.
Delete
