I know right? I was hoping she’d win the gold because the Olympics were being held in Japan, her home country, but looks like that didn’t go to plan >.>
Everyone has to see it 
it’s weird how he’s the World No. 2 but he’s not the most popular out of the next gen. My dad says it’s because he’s not as “marketable” and I have to agree a little
People were saying that it’d be a lineswoman, because that’s exactly what happened last year. But now they’ve switched to automatic line calling 
I have a feeling a next gen would suddenly stop him. Like in the Olympics, he’d ride a wave of confidence before he gets stunned.
me when I was still in Asia ;-;
You really didn’t have to, but thanks XD
This thing called “basic kinematic equation.” I don’t know how to explain it, but you use it to find the velocity and acceleration of a particle. I won’t bother going into detail; my head spins at the mere thought of it
Same here. I predict mostly according to rankings and head-to-head, and I like seeing my predictions become true.
The prediction I was not expecting to come true (but did to my delight) was Rafa losing at RG and I made it months before the tournament started 
Yeah, that’s what I noticed too. I guess that makes them really fast, and then having the smallest target area probably also helps them with being more cautious/precise. I remember there was one time a foilist competed in a team sabre competition. The comments were full of sabreurs feeling ashamed, because the foilist turned out to be really good
I legit thought the iCarly scene was so good. And then I revisited it ten years later and I was like “how the hell did I see this as good?” 
there were just so many things wrong with it, but pre-teen me just didn’t notice them 
Speaking of first person being used well, I discovered a new author on Wattpad whose works I really enjoy. Her short stories are mostly in first person, and they’re really good. They’re also really unpopular (like, none of them have cracked 35 reads, and most of them are hovering at around 10–15?) and they deserve more views 
Check out @/iiingriiidd__
And yes, Twilight sucked. I can’t believe people actually enjoyed reading it. I can’t believe moms enjoyed reading it. That’s why I plan to introduce my future kids to quality literature from a young age. They’ll be less likely to enjoy trash after reading something good.
Third person present? Interesting. I never really liked present tense in a POV not that I’m not open to it, I have partially used it towards the end of one of my short stories, but present tense always feels “incorrect” to me. Maybe it’s because we’ve always been taught to write in past tense. Even my first person is in past tense.
Have you ever read a story in third person present? 
Oh no, now you’re tempting me to write something in third person present I gotta check online if it’s “correct” though, because I’m scared that I might not pull it off if I try 
EDIT: just did a little searching. Apparently, third person present might be hard to read because it doesn’t feel as natural 
although there were a few books that were published in third person present. I think I’ll just stick to past tense for now
Speaking of omniscient, I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. “Think” is the keyword here there’s like third person omniscient objective, then third person cinematic, and third person omniscient subjective narrator…
I’m just trying to not head-hop and make for a “strong” narrator, because I heard that that’s one reason why omniscient is distinct. The narrator isn’t a character but has their own distinct voice. I’m still trying to find mine. I’m not sure if I’ve ever written with a strong author voice before, and now I’m trying to write in omniscient… what have I done me, the writer with the weak author voice, is trying omniscient
Thanks! I catch them quickly sometimes, but some errors take a year for me to catch (even though they were simple) when I was rereading Book One just for fun, I realized I used “are” instead of “were”
