Yay!! God is good!

The Knoweth Jesus Version all the way!!

Although I do sometimes use the Elect Standard Version for clarification. However,  sounds so much more “spiritual” to forget that, and just say I look it up in the WLC/BYZ. No matter that I can’t read it without Strong’s help. XD

@raxforge

Oh gracious. I’m trying to visualize how this would work/look like. XD

BTW, Sypher looks and acts pretty much like a 14 year old (he’s marginally older as his people have a slightly longer life spans than most people) just a 4 1/2 foot 14 year old. I don’t remember if I said his age…XD

Sypher

He looked up at this Rax person less than two feet taller than him and frowned. “I’m a little old to be riding shoulders, but…” a smile darted across his face. “If you wouldn’t mind my following you, I could use a wave breaker just about now. You know, follow in your wake. I’d be much obliged.”

He stuffed his hands into his…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

I’m glad it helped! I knew a lot of it was randomness, but when I can look at my difficulty in a new light, everything can start to click. Randomness that really doesn’t fit is typically what I use like. XD

I was trying to imply with that part, how Neveah’s heart broke for Sef. Putting myself in Neveah’s shoes, nothing wou…

Leo

“Whoa, kid, don’t knock yourself out.” Leo got to his feet, setting Quincy down in the chair behind him and reaching to steady the comforter entangled boy. He caught Rory’s flailing hand. Dazed green eyes turned to look at him. Confused.

“Rory, sit back down.” He offered gave a gentle smile. “I don’t think you’re fully awake yet.

And it feels like I’m going in circles. XD

If “you’re unloveable” is a side of her ‘shard of glass’, then maybe “your hopeless,” “you’re alone,” “your too far gone,” etc.

@savannah_grace2009

Wow. That’s dark. Pretty good story-wise, though. I’ll just go on a rabbit trail of plotting and hope it gives ideas. XD

I liked how you had Neveah try to combat the lie, and it’s obvious it’s for Sef’s sake, not her own. To make this sequence really work, maybe make Sef think her Mani is just trying to save herself – it’s…[Read more]

Ok! I read it. It’s good. They seem very inexperienced/in over their heads, but they’re handling it with humor so it’s funny. XD

Although the wolves were scary. O.O XD

@ellette-giselle

Ok. I am in the middle of section 2. I’ll go back and finish it. I’m just so… amazed.

WHY would ANYONE in his right mind Say That? XD I’m sorry, it’s just something I remember from a visiting missionary. You rarely if ever start off saying “the gods are false.” Telling people everything they believe is a lie will typically…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Ooo, lies. XD if I remember right, they want to start with little lies (because they’re more believable) and then work toward bigger lies with more power. So here are some ideas for chains of lies.

“You should be able to be strong enough on your own” (so when you falter, “you must be a failure” can follow)

“If God loved you,…[Read more]

Leo

Five thirty. Silvia stood in the kitchen doorway with most of her hair still in a loose braid and a comb in her hand. The wild curtain of curls nearly hid her puffy, red rimmed eyes.

“Good morning, Sis.” Leo whispered and set down the spatula. “Didn’t get much sleep?”

She shrugged and shuffled over to fill the tea kettle.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper (Do you like sugar or cream with that?)

Thank ya’ll so much! I am enjoying using a simpler, more whimsical style than I use with graphite. Watercolor is just… fairytale-esc.

And shading with watercolor is finally starting to make sense. XD

@whalekeeper

I would like to not be a night owl. It just seems to always happen.

But no, I should try at least to go to bed at a earlier time.

*Nods to myself*

*Sighs*

@raxforge

Sypher

Rax. Ben. These must be their short names. Sypher glanced between the two strangers, his lips pressed in a thin blue line.

Then he blinked and looked away. Maybe these people were strange, but this place was even stranger, so what else was a sprite to expect?

“Syph. You may call me Syph.” He waved a hand to the vaulted door…[Read more]

*Distant sobbing*

Hopes I’m not shoving into a conversation too much*

Yes…I actually stayed up til 11pm last night to write down a character scene with two of my guys…I know…I woke up really late, but I wanted to write that scene down before I forgot it! Does that happen to you?

*Chokes on my tea*

11 pm is late? Gracious, I must be an insomniac or something. I’m d…[Read more]

Ok… You know that one character? The one who is disturbingly realistic? If I make a thread sometime later this month about handling dark topics in a God glorifying way, this is why.

Meet Letice, Alwin’s mother. I love her, but I heard her story years ago and…[Read more]

Sypher

The blow had sent him tumbling to the pavement, a sudden pool of water softening his landing. The sprite slowly picked himself up and dusted the droplets off. His shoulders relaxed as the puddle evaporated back into vapor.

The towering figure was still there along with…too many other people. A darker blue flush crept up the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I like him! He looks like a good friend to have in hard times.
