Your mc house looks cool! What mod is it?
Btw what do you think of the new update so far?
Oh also I got the first clone wars dvd at the thrift store! It’s only 3 episodes but it’s the first three and I like it so far.

Yeah, I mean, it’s really no big deal to me because they’re spelled slightly different (Halle and Hallie), and how they look and act is completely different so they’re very different people in my head. 🤷🏻♀️

Thanks for reaching out, Kefa!! I’d love to chat some more!! 🤗
Hmm… my WIP…
Well, I have a few, but a couple of those have been put on the back burner for now. They were mostly ones written while I was trying to figure out my genre. Which, I’ve decided, is probably gonna be contemporary young adult fiction and historical or contemporary middle grade fiction.
I’ve been loosely plotting a new story idea so I can work on it for NaNoWriMo next month. No title so far, but it’s a contemporary young adult/new adult romance that takes place in Italy. Audrey Harrison and Clayton Palmer have a close relationship, but both have been waiting on the Lord do know what to do next in their lives. Clayton then gets a call from his Italian uncle (his mother is Italian), telling him that his uncle is handing the family business down to him (since he has no kids). His whole family and two friends of his choice are invited to spend a few weeks in Italy to get the feel for the country, the town, and the business. Clayton manages to convince Audrey, a homebody, to come along. She’s uncertain at first, but both feel like this trip could bring some important answers to questions they’ve been asking themselves for the past year or so.
Clayton feels comfortable in Italy and around his extended family, but Audrey feels awkward and out of place, uncomfortable with the new environment. She tries to adjust and support Clayton and his dreams, as he’s leaning closer and closer towards accepting the job. The only problem is, she doesn’t want to live in Italy with the luxurious life they’d have. She wants a simple life back home. While they’re in Italy, the couple have a few misunderstandings and miscommunications that cause them to drift farther and farther apart. Audrey is heartbroken, once thinking that Clayton would have been the man she would spend the rest of her life with.
But right at the end and after the trip, God does some amazing things and brings them back together, showing them the next step in the plan He has for their lives.
So that’s the simplified explanation, lol. I’m sure it will become more complex once I start writing it, but that’s the basic plot idea.
I feel like I’ve heard your WIP before… but I could use a reminder as to what it’s about. XD
Oh, also, here’s the moodboard for my story…

Oooh, I like it!! I could definitely feel and experience what Jonathan was feeling and going through.
The only suggestion I would have would be to eliminate some of the passive voice (“The floor was sinking…” “…his brother was on his hands and knees…”). It will tighten up the prose and draw the reader in more.
But that’s not a huge problem right now considering this is probably on a first or second draft of a scene. I really enjoyed reading though!!

For all you ladies on here, there’s an online camp that runs every few months, set up sort of like our little kingdom here to help encourage writers and help them reach a goal. Before camp you’ll set a goal for yourself (writing ## chapters/scenes/blog posts/words/etc.) and try to reach it in that month. You’re a part of a tent of about 10 or so other girls also trying to reach their individual goals. It’s a really awesome community and so much fun!! Because everyone’s in different time zones, there’s almost always someone active. It’s completely free and a great experience I’d recommend! Here’s the link if you’re interested in signing up for the camp in November! I’ll be there! <33

@mineralizedwritings Just something I pulled off Planet Minecraft (a pretty reputable mod website)
It’s got the nine characters from a shooter game I like, and they hunt mobs for me. (They also have a penchant for randomly insulting them……lol)
I also have the Halo texture pack on.
ahaha the bundle update? I haven’t used them yet! Gonna have to load it up later and try it out.
Clone Wars??? Awesome!!
I will warn ya, I think there was a section of episodes in like the third season or something that my dad didn’t let me watch cause they were too dark (like on this one planet they were focusing on in these episodes there was a tribe of like witches or something and he wasn’t a fan of that). But other than that, the only thing I can think of you’d wanna watch out for is the violence and I think some torture scenes, but since you watch Marvel movies that shouldn’t be a problem. There’s no cursing or anything that I remember.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
@esther-c yeah same. That happened to me once. The main character of my current WIP has the same name pronunciation as one of my cousins (different spelling though)
Fortunately I haven’t interacted with this cousin in like a decade so I don’t think she’ll be too offended about a name similar to hers being used for a character if she ever finds out.

I’m so glad someone read it!
I posted it a little while ago, but no one said anything, and I was thinking, “Oh dear, was it really that bad?”

I kinda felt like I was reading an anime lol.
I hope that’s a good thing!

"The more you practice the art of thankfulness, the more you have to be thankful for.”
Lol. That’s not the first time that’s happened.
KP is known for eating very long well-thought-out posts. I’ve started copying everything I wrote before posting it, and then if it gets eaten I can just paste it and send again.
