Ooh pick me! I’d love to read it!
I’m here now 🙂 Just being unwell has forced me to actually sleep in a bit and get good rest, rather than getting up super early like I’m used to.

@seekjustice I sent you an invitation to the document. 😀
I won’t be here now for a while, though I might pop in and out. But I’ll be on later tonight.
Oh, I hope you feel better soon!! 🙁 Rest is good, though. 😉

Thanks! All right I’ll see your later 😀
I know its good for me, I’m just the kind of person who doesn’t like to sit still. 😛

@seekjustice @valtmy Are either of you around? I’m here for only a little bit, but I have a couple of questions.
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
I’ll be here for a bit then I’ll need to go off for bible study.
@valtmy Okay, and I could disappear any minute. But here are a couple of questions:
1. You found out Yishay very quickly. Would it be more interesting if it were not so obvious, or is it fine as it is? If I had him just go to his house and wait for Bathshua would that make it harder to figure out? But that seems quite out of character for an older brother who loves his sister as much as Yishay loves Bathshua.
Oh, got to go. I’ll ask you the other questions later.

@seekjustice @valtmy @alia I’m here.
@rochellaine I could maybe read it tomorrow some. It sounds very interesting.IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
Hi. Oh and I don’t think I ever asked you this but what is your WIP about? 😛
@valtmy Hi. I don’t think I ever told you. ;P
Working Series name: Three and Seven
Book name: Finding Secrets
Six friends find out they are part of the Seven and end up looking for three jewels (they do something. I’m hoping I will figure out or God will tell me before I get to the last book. XP *nervous laughter*). There’s a girl with who wears a cloak (because I love that for some reason), talking to animals, and easter eggs.
It is a sci-fi-ish, fantasy, sort of an allegory, trying to avoid cliches but not do the opposite which is becoming cliche (Ironic I know.).
I’m also playing around (making it hard on myself) so in their dimension there was no flood (aka what is evidence of the flood *poof*). *grins* No fossil fuels(or very little. They have something else power their cars), less fossils, no flood myths, no rainbow, maybe the continent is mostly connected, etc.. But I’m thinking that there was lava flood or giant fire. So the ‘rainbow’ is in the fire or coals or lava or something like that it’s in the works(they don’t call it a rainbow though). X)
It fun. XDI don’t really have a summary to tell people… I should… Oh, wait! I do.
*paste*
Alex is not normal. She and her friends talk to animals.
But in the course of a few days the normal of their abnormal lives is shaken. They all receive a mysterious riddle from a cloaked messenger of a long dead tyrant king.
They must save Allore by finding three jewels. The Ruby. The Sapphire. The Emerald. Then giving them to that king. But someone else wants them too. Another ruler… Another king?
As they receive more riddles Alex struggles to find any answers. Answers that may be secrets – Secrets that some people would rather stay hidden. Even some secrets of her own. Wounds from her past. Are her friendships strong enough to survive the secrets of her past? And can she save Allore before it falls into the sea?It needs work. Like different info and stuff. *gestures vaguely*
I keep forgetting to cover the whole myth of Allore falling into the sea… Thanks for reminding me!IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
Oh a science fiction-fantasy? Wow I don’t think I heard of anything like that. I tried writing a fantasy myself once and it… didn’t go so well. The idea’s tucked into the backroom of my mind for now. 😛
Yep I can relate with not knowing how my story is supposed to go. I know the beginning and the end but I just want God to tell me what in the world is supposed to happen in the middle. 😛
@valtmy
Yep! It’s fun. Not too much Sci-fi until the next book with a new character… Poor tortured character we will have fun. 😉 Some people don’t like fantasy as much. It’s fine.I have to trust Him… Sometimes I have to wait, others I need to remember to ask, and then there’s the times when it is plopped in my lap. Like when he says a character should go blind, I can watch the expression on my friends’ faces and it make it all better. 😛 ;3 I still don’t know how she goes blind yet…
The middle is the hardest for me when writing the book. But for the series I’m just going one book at a time. 😉IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
It’s not that I do not like fantasy (though I admit to never taking a fancy to high fantasy and magic that do not have adequate explanations and justifications) but I found it hard to write. For my pitiful attempt a fantasy, I established a magic system and I even had a plot that would make use and exemplify the themes of the system very well but all the details and planning required to make it work just bogged me down.
Yep. We’re writing by faith. 😛
@valtmy
Ah… I see. Maybe one day you can fix it. Perhaps even read it (Unless it’s a real world fantasy, I don’t like those if they have (good/fantasy) magic. Real world fantasy irritates me anyway. If it’s good magic in another dimension to me it’s just how that dimension works and I’m mostly fine with that. Unless it’s not a good/working magic system or dark magic is shown as good. So yours is probably fine. Just a note. 😉 But for whatever reason I watched/read fairy movies/movies as a kid… That was before I formed these opinions… Anyway… [Also when someone from our world visits the fantasy dimension sometimes they say, “My world doesn’t have magic.” I think this is funny for some reason. We do have magic it’s just all evil and the work of demons. Sometimes people forget that… or they aren’t Christians.])
Details, details! ;3The best way that there is to write.

@dekreel It’s been so long! What’re you doing?
