The First Official North Wind Star Mini-Issue: Editorial
Everything's more fun mini. Tiny things are adorable! It's just a fact of life. Tiny dice, for instance. They're so cute when they're small. So cute.
This mini-issue is a result of undecided issue frequency stuff, all that jazz, but may become an established, actual… thing. Games, you-reply questions, and more! Wait, there I go sounding like some commercial-reader again.
The team is, of course, working away with future issue ideas! Be prepared for something completely amazing, guys.

The Themework of Copper and Dawn
As all of you have no doubt noticed, there's a new theme around- "Treetops." This terrific masterpiece was added quite recently, and has a smooth professional touch in its slightly minimalistic, uniform color scheme.
"Now, Writer," you cry, "isn't there anything more exciting to write about than a theme?"
"Dear Reader," I respond, "the theme is exciting! Look at that sweet Latin in the sidebar."
Feast your eyes. I cannot believe how incredibly beautiful that Latin is. Oh my word.
Oh. My. Goodness.
Joking aside, it is a big site development! For us few, loyal, frequent North Wind-goers, it's a refreshing new look to the web site we all love.
Keep the up the wonderful work, Admins!
Moving on, a creative poetry piece that may or may not have been a result of a certain someone's Shakespeare unit in English:
One Girl's Touching Tale of Procrastination, Un-inspiration, and Discovery: A Sonnet
Balking on projects until deadlines loom
May not seem to be the best decision.
But time lets ideas grow big and bloom
Oft met in the scribe's mind with derision.
Those bloss'ming thoughts are Rafflesia flow'rs,
Grand outwardly but inwardly mucid.
Up stay the scribes, till they meet midnight hours
Unsure: waking or just dreaming lucid?
Ideas run dry, artistic muse gone.
What will become of this wretched project?
The midnight oil burns, but still they write on
To give up, this scribe will never elect.
For authorly duties beckon and call.
Perhaps ideas aren't so hard after all.
And now, for the Editor's favorite thing… mostly because she loves using the Spoiler button… Riddles!
What can travel around the world while staying in a corner?
What kind of tree can you carry in your hand?
Which word in the dictionary is spelled incorrectly?
Imagine you are in a room with no exits. How do you get out?
What is at the end of a rainbow?
Character Development
With the recent influx of character development sheets and the like, I thought it'd be nice to have some similar questions in this issue. There'll most likely be some more of these in future issues! Feel free to answer some of these questions in the comments:
- What does your character plan for their future? What careers are they interested in?
- What is the birthday of your character?(This detail is forgotten surprisingly frequently!)
- What are some of the unconventional/notable aspects of your character's appearance?
- Is your character more introverted or extroverted?
- What effects do friends/peers have on your character? Positive, negative, mixed?
- Who does your character look up to?
- What does your character wish for?
- What is the most developed aspect of your character? The least developed?
- Is your character good at answering riddles/logical questions?
- How does your character act around friends/family compared to people they don't know?

Stop imagining
The letter 'w'
