@whalekeeper I get that and to some extent agree. It’s just the inclusion of a detailed description of the spells kinda broke immersion for me a little. It didn’t seem THAT necessary.

Also people like Ellette can have their limits, I’m not trying to shame that. 😅

I’m trying to think of a good way to put this… Say you’re writing a YA book about how loose relationships (no marriage, easily separated, “it depends on how I feel about you from week to week”) hurts people. Well, you’re going to have to depict a bad relationship in order to talk about it. You just have to. There will always be somebody wh…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I for one thought the spell images were kind of cool… I think they gave a glimpse into how wonderful spell-casting feels like for a wizard. You get this sense of attempting majesty, if that makes sense, and I think that aligns with Alan’s character. Also the fact that all the images had something to do with animals was rea…[Read more]

Could I suggest something to you that always helps me when I’m feeling overwhelmed?

@savannah_grace2009

No worries! This week got really busy and I got sick halfway through, so I probably wouldn’t have been able to RP very soon afterwards anyway. Where should we start Lukas and Livia? I have no idea what day it is in relation to the dance (which has been planned for like forever now…it’s craaazzzyyyy 😂)

@koshka @ellette-giselle Okay, here’s one singular reinforcement.

Barnes

Barnes slipped past a colorful window, the rose and gold glass casting a soft glow along the side of her head.

The four students had exited the church, and were traveling at a slower pace. The leading teenager had kept the pace up brilliantly, and it was challenging at t…[Read more]

I’ve done 200 of my 400 words. I’m gonna go ahead and throw half my snowballs.

@liberty

Alright!! 👍

@liberty Hey, you’ve got to write the next scene! 😆

@ellette-giselle

Oh why! Must it be a hand or foot? And why talons! Can’t you just restrict the movement! This is horrible. If he and Martha do get married, how is he supposed to hug her without slicing her back?!?!?

*feels slightly offended for the 90% of my characters that have talons*

Also those could be depressive mood swings, they will probably change from morning to afternoon.

@the_lost-journal

It’s okay, I’m not that offended. :] Maybe talk to someone when you’re feeling more cheerful? (I know I’m repeating myself but I don’t really know what else to tell you.)

@linus-smallprint Hmm, this was interesting.

How do Alan’s friends feel about this?

Does he realize how guilty he’ll be when he wakes up? I mean, he just dedicated his life to God and swore off magic a few chapters ago.

I’m not sure how I feel about the spells being as descriptive as they are. I had no problem with it, personally, although it…[Read more]

”I’m gonna hit RAE!!!” 😁 That’s it

Jara carried her pole over to where her brothers stood. Jara opened Cameron’s tackle box—retrieving a jar of worms from inside. As she weaved the worm onto her hook, she noticed a jar sitting in the grass beside the box. A lab…

@the_lost-journal

Okay, don’t get too overwhelmed. Your mind will start racing, and when it does, take deep breaths and remind yourself to be positive.

If it makes it any easier, try writing down your feelings first. You might not understand why you feel a certain way, but that’s okay. Just find a word to describe the emotion and jot it…[Read more]
