@keilah-h I have a random question XD
I know you said Hawkeye was your fav of the Avengers…so I was wondering…who’s your least favorite of the Avengers???
A very random question…but this brain of mine is crazy 😂
How are your fanfics and stuff going? 😁
March 22, 2023 at 7:29 pm #138080@freedomwriter76 Least favorite….?
I don’t have one. I like them all, really. Don’t worry, my brain is crazy too.
(And I still need to find time to put together those moodboards….)
My fanfics are going well! Waiting a couple weeks to see if I need to rewrite my story or if the way I have it is fine.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

@keilah-h Lol, I get that!!! 😁XD Ahh, aren’t we ALL at least a little crazy??? 😂
My fav is…OBVIOUSLY…Cap, but I don’t know about least favorite. I used to think Tony…but…uhm…I don’t know if that’s, wellll…true anymore… 0_o
So yeah…idk about my least favorite either XD
(ooh, yes!!! I wanna see them!!!! ❤️ Even if I won’t know who any of the Star Wars ones are very well…😅)
Oh, cool!!! Yeah, I get that. I’ll be rewriting the 2nd fanfic at some point…but I need to write the 1st one first, lol 😂
Speaking of which…I wrote this bit of banter in it, lol, if you wanna read XD
Clint raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms, leaning back against the kitchen counter. “Where were you two last night? Ryo was screaming and crying, and neither of you got up.”
Loki shrugged. “Didn’t hear him. I drank coffee before bed last night. It always knocks me out.”
Thor nodded. “And I listened to white noise…apparently it knocks me out. But I still do not understand why coffee puts my crazy brother to sleep.”
“Is it decaf?” Meela asked, finishing her breakfast, putting her plate in the sink, where Vision was carefully loading the dishwasher.
“No, it has caffeine in it.” Loki replied, sitting down, as both he and Thor got things to eat.
Bucky rolled his eyes, taking a sip of coffee. “You’re a freak.”
“Hey, for once I agree with Bucky on something.” Tony mused, typing something out on his laptop.
“Now I wish I hadn’t said it.”
Tony looked up, giving Bucky a smirk. “Too late now, Metal Head.”
Bucky rolled his eyes.
Tony and his nicknames.
He walked past Tony to go sit beside Steve, but he held out one of his arms, barely making it sweep over Tony’s head.
Tony ducked. “Careful, Barnes, you might knock my head off if you’re careless.”
Bucky shook his head, letting out a low sigh. “Can’t, sadly. Your head is too big to knock off.”
Clint laughed, patting Tony on the shoulder. “Oh, Bucky’s got you pegged. He got you good.”
Tony shrugged. “Eh, who cares. Bucky’s just got one point.”
“And how many do you have, Tony? Negative ten?”
Tony turned to face Steve. “Alright, you’ll pay for that one, Capsicle.”
Steve laughed, feeding Ryo another bite. “Maybe. But it’s worth it.”
Tony turned back around. “We’ll see about that.”

@mineralizedwritings Yes, Capsicle 😂😂😂
It was from The Avengers….Tony said Steve did time as a “Capsicle” (they were talking about something but I can’t remember what it was, lol) and long story short, I love the nickname XD
Btw, haven’t talked in a bit. How are you doing, Min? ❤️

AND THAT ART IS SOOOO COOL!!!!!!! I LOVE ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I’m doing alright. ❤️ It comes and goes still, but I’m certainly doing better than I was a few months back. 😊 Writing’s been slow…just now getting back into the swing of it after a run-in with a virus and not having motivation for a bit! 😅 But I’m starting to get back into writing my own books, which makes me happy. 😁
I’ve finished school for the day so I was looking for more reference pics for Riker, especially for the sequel, lol. 😂❤️
I found this one that I’m pretty satisfied with…😁😍

Question for y’all: how and when did you get into writing?
Love this question!
I don’t remember when I started writing stories, but I’ve written since I knew how to write basically. I liked writing in school and started keeping a diary when I was eight/nine. The first story I wrote was with my two siblings. It was about a family who lived on a ranch in Nevada, and they each wrote a story too which we made fit together. We had loads of fun and were constantly writing (and not doing our chores and school) until out parents had to put a limit on it.😜
From then on I constantly had a story I was writing, but the first time I finished one was in 2017 (I think…). I was a total pantser and didn’t even know plot structure existed until 2020 when I took a novel writing course for school. I had no writing friends and didn’t know what I was doing except that I loved writing. I started thinking more seriously about becoming an author and asked God if that’s what He wanted me to do. Within a year I met my first real writing friend and a couple months after that my dad found a website called Kingdom Pen…and the rest is history. 😉 Yeah, KP (you guys!!) has been HUGE in my writing journey.
I used to write just for fun, and even after I became a Christian I struggled with writing unwholesome/unprofitable stories. But with Jesus helping me I realized that I needed to use writing as a way to bring glory to God, and now I look at it as my way to proclaim truth in a world full of lies.
He must increase, but I must decrease.

The book idea is really neat! Wow, Monica seems like quite the character. Does she get a redemption arc?
Thanks so much for asking. Just seeing that you tagged me to see how I’m doing and ask about my characters/WIP made my day. ❤️🥲 Yesterday was rough. I was abnormally quiet and zoned out but my mom helped me out. Then I saw that you tagged me to ask and it made me smile. Just what I needed last night. God is good. ❤️❤️
❤️*hugs*❤️ You’re so welcome, Sara. Yes, He is!! Praying for you!
He must increase, but I must decrease.
March 23, 2023 at 5:08 pm #138154@freedomwriter76 Aww, that picture of Riker smiling while up in a tree is awesome. And nice scene! I love banter like that.
@mineralizedwritings Great drawings! I like your style.Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

So, Ezra…😁
My American, Southern, Kentucky, farm boy bomber pilot with patriotism and spunk that knows no bounds. XD
Growing up as the youngest in the family until he was 16, Ezra grew up for much of his childhood as the baby of the family, and albeit was a little bit spoiled, but not much, considering the family was trying to make it through the Great Depression. His family owns a large farm in the Southern Kentucky area, and were able to make it through the Depression because of it.
Ezra has three older sisters, one older brother, and one baby sister, Jane, who’s only 5, and they also live with their parents and their Granny. His older brother, the oldest kid, Elijah, is ten years older than him, so Ezra has pretty much grown up with only sisters. He doesn’t mind though. His sisters are epic!
Besides, he had his best friend Yoshua, a Jewish boy that’s the same age as himself. They spent almost every second of their free time together. They were inseparable.
Life was great…but it wasn’t easy.
Due to the “One-Drop” blood law that was in place at that time, Ezra is legally considered black due to one of his great-grandmothers being African, and that automatically makes things difficult for a boy growing up in the 1930s Southern United States.
But either way, he’s been taught to love his country from his youth, and life was good.
But when Pearl Harbor happened…he knew he had to enlist and fight…having only turned 18 that year…and he enlisted along with Yoshua.
Without his family knowing.
His family found out, though…and heated words were exchanged.
Ezra said a lot of things he didn’t mean…even telling his brother that he wished he was dead…and fled.
He hasn’t spoken to his family in 3 years.
Eventually, his Air Force journey carries him to England, where he meets Eva Goldmann and instantly falls in love.
He loves being able to serve his country and makes many friends along the way.
But one mission over Germany goes awry…and his B-17 crashes, killing the entire crew except Ezra, his co-pilot Jameson, and the bombardier Curtis….including Yoshua.
Ezra’s heartbroken, but more than anything, he feels guilty.
Shouldn’t he have flown better?
He killed his crew…killed his best friend for crying out loud!
How can God ever forgive him for hurting his family and killing his crew?
They can’t stay hidden forever, and Ezra, Jameson, and Curtis are captured by SS forces. Jameson and Curtis are sent to a POW camp, but Ezra, being the pilot, is held in prison and interrogated/tortured for weeks for information. Information he refuses to give.
Only one officer, Riker Schind, offers him compassion, but even so, Ezra won’t back down, refusing to betray his nation.
He’s eventually sent to the POW camp Jameson and Curtis were sent to, by some miracle, and he meets and befriends even more men there, creating his own small ragtag team of men that have his back.
He’ll survive.
He knows he will.
And maybe…just maybe…he’ll finally write home to his family.
