Description This is my final sacrifice to the spirits of New Years for the year...it is the result of my dabbling with the use of an actual Chinese brush, an actual Chinese ink stone, and from an actual Chinese ink block...the kanji reads "Double Happiness is good!", and it is true.

and the one on the side is your name li meaning plum and tian meaning sky weather next in the context of time its alright was this your first try by any chance you need to use more ink as your characters should be darker what about a deeper longer metaphorical saying my favourite to writ in and out of calligraphy is the sun will rise again tomorrow not so much metaphorical as fun to write i also like the simplified character for dragon (long) my comment is very long so i should stop but you did an alright job the characters are correct as far as i knw i dont know the character for double oh and your name has better curves to it and an alround better form what about a whole page of writing and before you chastise me about putting up my own calligraphy (i do do calligraphy as a hobby) i dont have access to a scanner so i cant put my own up as the scanner i use it at school and it is the school holidays over here so nyanyanya nya nya as i know the christmas holidays aren't long on america over here they ere 6 weeks long so nyanyanya nya nya i am sorry if i insulted you

Yeah well...thanks. By the way, the third character of my name is the second half of a word; it is "ling". My big bro has the first half of the word, which is "qi", so put our middle names together, and what do you get?

Qiling is the Mandarin name for "Keilun" in Cantonese, or "Kirin" in Japanese, which is the East Asian equivalent of a unicorn.

I must say, I've been impressed with your ability to write such a difficult language (I know, I've tried to learn Japanese). I'm not familiar with Chinese though Can you speak it fluently or is just in writing (I could never speak any other language save my native tongue - IE I couldn't speak Japanese OR Spanish.. well, I can at least seem like it in Spanish )

I'm trying to learn Mandarin and Cantonese (Cantonese because my family speaks Cantonese), but writing is very much fair.

That's wonderful How long have you been learning? How long have you been learning? You go to a class or does someone in the family teach you?

And by 'senior year', I meant by my 'high school senior year'.

And I'm sorry if I'm chewing you up, but when will you be done with your chapter on Serpent's Blood?

I have free time for it Thank you for reminding me. (I just have to reread the previous chapter to get going ) I'll try to have it done by the end of the week (Keep poking me, eh? ) I'll start it tomorrow and maybe I'll get lucky and finish it (I'll try to, really, I will).

Both. I've been writing for quite some time now...about midway from my senior year, I've gotten interested in writing kanji.
