#ProtectSebOk! No more sadness XD
GIRL I RELATE TO THAT ON SO MANY LEVELS!!
Like serious, I’m just the same. Some of my best writing is sad XD. Imo, happy scenes are harder to wright well than sad scenes. They have to have a proper build up over the whole story in order to be meaningful. You have to understand why it is so happy for it to be happy for the reader.
And.. yep. I think that I’ve gotten excited with sad scenes too 😂
I was going to ask what your best sad scene was… but apparently light has declared a sad break… what’s your best happy scene?
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."
Oops I just tried to tag you @Corvina XDXD
Wait… does something happen to her brother?
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."
I’m going to write a random happy scene sometime today and share it.
Great idea! 😉
Here’s a scene from Refined that was fun to write. It’s a happy scene. 😁(btw, it’s told from Corie’s POV):
I pursed my lips. “This may be more serious than it seems.” I sat down on the bed and said so Brody couldn’t hear. “I’m worried.”
He [Tyrone] wrapped his arm around me and whispered in my ear. “Don’t be. You know that you have to trust God.”
I nodded. “You’re right.” I looked him in the eyes and sighed. “Ty… I just want to tell you how much I appreciate you. I’ve missed you more than you could imagine these past four years.”
He smiled. “Me too. Though I hated to admit it.”
I grinned. “You can’t survive without your sister, can you?”
“Excuse me? I was just fine. I just… missed you. That’s all. You can’t survive without me though. Those Belators just won’t stop.”
“That’s true. You may have to teach me some self defense stuff.” I playfully punched him in the shoulder.
He stood up and raised an eyebrow. “That actually hurt.”
I chuckled. “You seem surprised.”
“I am.”
“You shouldn’t be,” I lifted my chin and strutted past him. He stuck out his arm to stop me. In one swift motion, he threw me over his shoulder. I kicked my legs and giggled like a little girl, pounding my fists on him. He never let go. He plopped me on the bed.
As soon as he did, Brody came and tackled Ty from behind, forcing him almost on top of me. I rolled out of the way just in time. Brody climbed on top of Ty and started to wrestle with him. I got out of the bed and watched them with a smile.
I know it ends abruptly, but it’s near the end of the chapter that ends with a cliffhanger, so it wouldn’t make any sense. XD

@esther-c @mineralizedwritings @felicity
Okay I’m back! I was helping my brother with something.
I get that. I’ve noticed that school is taking longer for me so that takes up time to write. Plus, for about half of the week, we have things to do in the afternoons. I can’t normally write at night because in the evenings is really when our family spends time together. Sooo… finding time to write has been difficult. I either don’t have time or don’t feel like it. XD But I plan to finish the first book in my trilogy by the end of the month!
Excuse my rant. XD
Oh yeah! That’s exactly what’s happening here too! Haha, it’s fine! KP is a place for rants. I’ll be praying for all of y’all in your writing, and in life. 🙂
So, min, you wanted to know about Matthew? So, Matthew used to be in a whole other book, but then I came up with Asher and Iris (And Dylan’s) book, and I had an idea to combine the characters into one book. So I changed a little bit in my book, and the reason Asher is getting bullied, is because he is taking up for Matthew, who gets bullied a lot since he’s so quiet and sweet. And I had a cool idea the other day concerning Matthew and Lyla, but I’m not sure if it would work or not yet…

@mineralizedwritings I’m doing pretty good! It’s snowy where I’m at, and my mom and younger siblings are at the library, so it’s quiet and cozy right now. 🙂
@esther-c Yup, all is well. Here’s a verse that’s blessed me recently:“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word do I hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning.” Ps. 130:5-6
It’s beautiful and full of hope and it sounds like a poem almost, or a song. I really like it.
@lightoverdarkness6 No more sadness! Let’s SMILE.He must increase, but I must decrease.
Sounds really nice! The snow is super ugly half melted here XD
Have you been writing anything?
Oh, ok! I didn’t know they were all in the same book! That’s cool. What’s the idea with Mathew and Lyla? That’s so sad he’s getting bullied because of that! Is there a particular moment that made people notice/give a reason to bully him?
Also what draws Asher and Mathew together? Does Asher just feel bad for him, or is there a particular reason Mathew is important to him?
(Hope you don’t mind all my questions lol)
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."
Oooooh. Best happy scene. Idk. XD
I know that farther along in my WIP there are going to be more happy scenes. (Like the end of the trilogy. AGH!! I’m so excited!! I wish I could talk about it but it would spoil a lot. XD)
I won’t share my best sad scene here. I think I posted it on some other topic… I just can’t remember which one… XD
But the scene in which a certain someone dies I’m hoping will be one of my best sad scenes.
Enough of sad now. 😀
Hello!!
Thanks so much!! Knowing that someone is praying for you is also super encouraging! 😊
The Psalms are awesome!!
There’s actually a song called “My Soul Will Wait (Psalm 62)” by Sovereign Grace Music that is really good. They’ve done other songs that are based off of songs as well. I know that Shane & Shane does a lot of songs based off of psalms and passages of Scripture.

@mineralizedwritings @lightoverdarkness6 @felicity @godlyfantasy12
I have to go now. We need to leave for our choir rehearsal. (Actually more of a class, but that doesn’t matter, lol)
Nice talking to you!! Talk to y’all later! 🙂 🙂

@esther-c Have fun at choir! I’ll check out the songs you mentioned. 🙂
@mineralizedwritings Yes, actually I finished the first draft of My Resolve yesterday, which is late, because I wanted to have it done before 2023, but I’m still happy. I am going to start writing the epilogue this afternoon and see if I can make some headway there. What about you?He must increase, but I must decrease.
I’m listening to music and putting them into playlists.
I just realized Plumb’s song I Want You Here goes in Corvina’s Playlist for her grief over her brother 😭 😭 MY HEART
Okay cool! Aww poor Corvina!! I’ll have to listen to that.
Thanks so much!! Knowing that someone is praying for you is also super encouraging! 😊
You’re so welcome!! Yes it is :).
Aww, I love that scene!! Oh, okay, have fun!!
Yes. SMILE!!

#ProtectSeb@godlyfantasy12 Sure, we can chat! What do you wanna talk about?
"When in doubt, eat cheese crackers."-me to my charries who don't even know about cheese crackers
Oops I just tried to tag you @Corvina XDXD
XDXD
Oh, ok! I didn’t know they were all in the same book! That’s cool. What’s the idea with Mathew and Lyla? That’s so sad he’s getting bullied because of that! Is there a particular moment that made people notice/give a reason to bully him?
Yeah! Lol I actually just came up with that about a week ago, so it’s fairly new. I know!! I put him through so much 😭. Hmm…well, he’s very sensitive and quiet, but he’s very smart. So I was thinking that maybe he wouldn’t tell the bullies the answer to a math problem and they get back at him for that?
(Spoilers)
The idea is: so Matthew and Lyla live with their dad. Their mom died giving birth to them. Their dad is gone a lot, and they think that he’s “working”. But actually, he’s the villain that ordered Asher’s unknown brother to kidnap Matthew’s best friend!
Haha, that probably made no sense. (More Spoilers)
To explain…**So Asher and Iris were dropped off at a foster care when they were young. But why did their parents abandon them? Because their oldest son, Dylan, had been taken by the same force that later takes Asher, and they had to go find him. Dylan is raised by the villain as the villain’s son, and is supposed to inherit the organization that the villain works for. When Dylan turns 18, he is supposed to do something big to prove himself worthy to inherit the organization. He is tasked with capturing a young boy named Asher–for reasons unknown to himself. He completes the task. But as he gets to know Asher during his captivity, he realizes something, but by then it’s almost too late. He must make a big decision that will change his life–forever.**
I hope that made sense haha. If not, feel free to ask questions!
Also what draws Asher and Mathew together? Does Asher just feel bad for him, or is there a particular reason Mathew is important to him?
I’ve been trying to figure that out. I don’t really know, other than their personalities compliment each other. Idk, haha. I’ll have to work on that.
(Hope you don’t mind all my questions lol)
No, questions are great!! You’ve helped me with some things that I need to work on! Thank you!
