Oh, and to put the thing at the bottom of your post, the place on your profile should be labeled as signature when you go to edit it… I think. XD

Hey!! I’m still on, but only for a few more minutes. 🙂
Doing pretty good! Wbu?
Oooh, cool! XD
I’m almost in high school. I’ll be a freshman for the 2023-24 school year. 😉
I’m in the middle of rereading the Wingfeather Saga! Rn I’m in the middle of book two. I’m also reading God of the Garden by Andrew Peterson. For a book report, I’m reading The Green Ember. Additionally, I’m going to start reading Ranger’s Apprentice soon. So, I’m kinda in the middle of a lot of books right now. XD
What are you reading?

WHOA, you’re in the middle of all my favorites!
God of the Garden is fantastic. Do you have a favorite Green Ember character??
Also, please tag me to rant about Ranger’s Apprentice. It’s phenomenal. I’m on the Siege of Macindaw right now (book six) and there all so good….

April 8, 2023 at 3:04 pm #139638Yes, I love Heather! If you keep reading the series, Emma becomes my favorite. Also, who couldn’t love Pickett? His character arc is fantastic as the series goes on.

April 8, 2023 at 4:00 pm #139648@joy-calle That’s awesome! I get how you feel about characters. I even get a little possessive over charries that aren’t even mine….but that’s probably because I write a boatload of fanfictions, so they kinda ARE mine.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

Did you see the spinet I shared with you? (And other random stuff) I think you missed the notif (Or perhaps too busy! That’s ok!) It’s back on page 100 about I think XD

@mineralizedwritings I did see it! Sorry for not replying sooner, girl…life has been hectic…there’s so much going on right now 😂 We’ve been building a chicken coop, lol. Like, I worked (with really only a break for lunch) from 10 AM until 7 PM on Saturday trying to help build it…😅 And it’s STILL not finished!!! XD
Cool!
Wait… you changed it again! Is that Thor? Ack, I hope I got that right lol!
Yeah! 😀
Haha, I did, and you did get it right, it WAS Thor when you replied…but I have changed it again. XD Now it’s Bucky 😍
Aww thanks for asking! I’m doing kinda sorta ok XD
Awww, you’re so welcome!!!! 💕💕💕 Ahh, I get that ❤️ Still praying for you! 🙏
I just started that in person class yesterday (was sick the first day) it’s alright. We were making animated Gifs in photoshop which I finished early because I’ve done some animation and have used photoshop before, so that was nice. It’s weird being in a class with so many people older than me (Duuuuude the guys are huge XD) It’s really quiet for the most part, a lot of the students don’t seem very enthused and tbh are probably just completing a requirement by taking the class. I tried to talk to a really shy girl in our class and but she was having a hard time holding up the other end of the conversation… I felt really bad for her, I’ve been there.
I’m really glad I’m getting exposure to different types of people again, because it’s really stressful for me for some reason and I need to get used to it for when I get a job. So yeah, it feels super overwhelming and I keep on worrying about all the things that could possibly go wrong.
Did meet somebody pretty nice and we sit together sometimes though.
Awww, I’m so happy for you Min!!!! I’m so glad you’re having fun!!!! I’ll continue to pray for you as you do things that may be different/scary for you. ❤️❤️❤️🙏
Ooh, love the sound of the characters, Min!!!!!!! Clement sounds like a complex villain…🤔😬
And just so you know, I think the name freedom bunker coalition came from your name XD
So glad I could be of service! *bows* XD I am so honored!!! ❤️
And I’m getting to use our old moniter attached to my laptop for digital art, the colors are more accurate than my laptop. Honestly God has just givin me everything I need for the perfect art setup, it just kinda happened sometime after I prayed.
Aww, I’m so glad!!!! 😀 Yes, our God is so wonderful!!!! 💕💕💕💕
How are you doing? Is school and writing going well?
I’m doing really well, actually, thanks for asking!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I actually just got off of spring break, basically, lol XD But school is going well, just started back today and I’m thankfully done already 😉
And writing has been pretty slow…XD There’s so much going on, I don’t really have much time to write lately, but that’s alright ❤️
This was the most recent thing I wrote in the book: 👇👇
His hand hesitated just mere inches from the door. How did you tell a mother that her daughter, her one and only daughter, was dead?
But Riker knocked.
He had to do this. He promised.
Silence met his knock. Had the woman moved?
Many people had moved further and further away from the cities, trying to escape the British and American bombings. Their city wasn’t huge, but it was surrounded by factories and airfields, which made it a huge target for Allied bombers.
Riker knocked again.
The door slowly opened and a gray-haired, smiling woman looked up at him. Her eyes roved over his uniform and her smile faded. “How may I help you, Officer?” Her voice quivered.
Riker didn’t blame her. “I…I…”
“Oh, where are my manners? Come inside, sir, would you like something to eat?”
“No, but…thank you. I’m trying to be brief.”
“Would you at least like a drink?”
Riker shook his head. “Frau Schneider, I-I had to come to tell you something.”
“Call me Louisa, dear, and you are…?”
Riker wet his lips. His throat threatened to clam up, but it couldn’t. Not here. Not now.
“R-Riker. And Ma’am, there is no easy way to put this…but I-I…had to come and tell you that…that…”
Louisa watched him, waiting. She smiled softly. “What, dear?”
Riker slowly pulled out the letters, which he had put in his uniform coat pockets. “I’m sorry Ma’am, Frau Schneider, Louisa,” oh, he was wasting so much time, “but…but your daughter, Aadelheide, is…is…dead.”
Louisa’s hands flew to her mouth. A gasp escaped her lips and tears began to course down her cheeks.
“I’m so sorry.” Riker whispered, forcing himself to speak. He had caused Leon…this mother…so much pain. “She…she wrote these for y-you.” He held out the letters, and Louisa slowly took them.
“Thank you dear…thank you.”
Riker shifted underneath the crying woman’s gaze. If only she knew who he really was…what he’d done…she wouldn’t be so welcoming. “I’m so sorry for your loss.”
Louisa wiped tears from her eyes and smiled. Truly smiled. “Not your fault, dear. My daughter is in the happiest place she could ever be,” she set the letters down on the kitchen table, “and she is with her father in heaven and her father from this earth.”
Riker just nodded, unsure of what to say. Not that he thought he deserved the chance to speak.
Louisa turned to him with a raised eyebrow. “What of Leon? Have you heard of my son-in-law, dear?”
Riker nodded, Leon’s outburst of anger still clear in his mind, and he fingered with his wedding ring. “Y-yes…I have. I’ve even seen him. He…he’s doing…well. He’s not ill at all as far as I know, but,” Riker swallowed hard, “h-he didn’t handle the news very well.”
Louisa’s blue eyes filled with concern. “…Is he alright?”
Riker bit his lip, trying to decide how to reply. Leon wasn’t alright, in honesty. But how could Riker explain, when he didn’t even understand Leon’s pain himself?
Besides, he didn’t have a right to try to explain pain that he would possibly never understand.
“…He…he’s…”
“I only assume he isn’t the best?”
Riker just nodded. “Yeah…that.”

@esther-c Yeah, it’s cool, but such hard work…😅😂
Glad to hear you’re doing well!!! I’ve been doing really well lately, actually, so thanks for asking!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Also, so cool that you’ll be entering high school this year!!!! It’s a little scary, but all in all, it’s a really good and fun step towards getting older!!! ❤️ Are you excited!? XD
April 10, 2023 at 3:29 pm #139752I actually just got the part where Emma is introduced! I think she may end up being my favorite. 😉

Awesome!! Of course! 😄

I’m sort of excited. XD I suppose it won’t be a ton different from what I’m doing now, except more schoolwork and different teachers. (I’m homeschooled and our family uses prerecorded videos.) From what I’ve heard from my older friends and the drama in their schools, I am so glad I’m homeschooled. 😮💨🙄😂
I am looking forward to being in high school, though. 😁😊
