I’m so sorry this reply is late!

Spensa/M-bot/Doomslug from Skyward (I’m counting those three as one because I can’t choose any one from that book). Nova Artino, from Renegades. Jatin from Cast In Firelight

Cool! I haven’t read any of those books.

Favorite language? I’m currently learning Spainish and I really like it.

Sorry, you can ignore question 2. I didn’t see that @mineralizedwritings already asked that.

Hello, I’m Arien, a writer, violinist, editor, singer, and Tolkien nerd. Nice to meet you!

Some questions! I’ll try not to repeat questions that others have asked.

1. I saw that you like LOTR as well. Who’s your favorite character?

2. What are some themes in your WIP?

3. Coffee, tea, apple cider, or sparkling water?

4.…[Read more]

Yeah, we’re in different time zones, but at least we were all writing around the same time! (And we were all equally tired, right?) 😜

@felicity

Great job almost finishing your WIP! That’s amazing!

@lightoverdarkness6

Blessed to know you too, sweet friend!

@power

LOL I’m guessing you had a party at your house and that’s…[Read more]

Cool idea! I like that, good job! I’m excited to see what you do! Do you have ideas for a title yet?

I’m going to concentrate on finishing Swallowtail Summer this year, I think I can do it! I don’t want to set super high goals for myself so I don’t get overwhelmed. But I might start a his-fic short story with my sister, if…[Read more]

Happy New Year! Can you believe it’s 2023?

Congrats to everyone who stayed up till midnight. Fun, wasn’t it? 😂🎉🎉

Writing goals for 2023:

1. Finish Swallowtail Summer

2. Write the his-fic short story, Love Your Enemy, with my sister since we’ve been planning it for like two years and never gotten around to it!

That’s all. But t…[Read more]

Hello, I’m Arien, a violinist, snowshoer, language learner, and writer! Nice to meet you!

Your profile pic is really pretty, by the way 😊 May I ask how you came up with your name?

I like to write fantasy, historical fiction, and realistic fiction. My last book was rustic fantasy, and my current WIP is realistic fiction. But…[Read more]

We stay up and write until midnight, when we celebrate the new year, decide our writing goals for the year, and then fall into bed exhausted. How’s that sound?

@starofthenorth and I are doing it! Join us, from wherever you are! 🥳🥳🎉🎉🎆

Let us know how it goes! 😂

@ava-blue @elishav…[Read more]

Oh no, who would Jocelyn want to stuff into a barrel?!?

LOL And the spiders!! Can you imagine, a glass of SPIDERS???

🤣🤣

Aedan: NO, NOT THE PRECIOUS DOOR-

Oh dear . . . 😳😳

🤣🤣

Elinor: THAT’S ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, SPIT IT OUT-

Aedan: *visibly in pain*

Elinor: *glares at Aedan*

Aedan: *slowly backs off*

Elinor: Ok, I know you killed-

Aedan: What? I have no intention of murder, and I don’t own any weapons! Why are you accusing me?!?!

Elinor: I saw it with my own eyes.

Aedan: Liar!

Elinor: You heartlessly killed all my tomato plants in the garden!

Aedan: Oh. Then yes, I did kill them.

Found some more!

Elinor: Welcome to Pickle Barrel. Would you like pickles or barrels?

Aedan: Barrels?

Elinor: Got it.

Elinor: *violently stuffs a screaming Aedan into a barrel*

Riven sounds awful . . . poor November!!

LOL the one about Grimm giving Jocelyn a knife though!🤣

Wow, how do you do that! Those were great! 🤣🤣

@ava-blue

LOL I saw some of those too. I like the ones about the sketchers lighting up in the dark!

@starofthenorth

And the brimming glass of spiders . . . I’m still laughing 😂

Thanks for copying it, it was fun to read!

I liked your use of dialect, it was still easy to understand but gave me a feel for the country.

I just had some questions though . . . mostly about time period. It seemed to have a Little-House feel to it, for me at least. I don’t know if that’s what you had in mind, but that’s what I…[Read more]

Elinor: You stabbed someone.

Aedan: Not stab. He leaned in.

Aedan, back from the store with 5 boxes of cheese: They had milk on sale!

Poor Elinor! 🤣🤣What a helpful brother!

Aedan: Killed without hesitation.

Elinor: No.

Aedan: That’s why I carry two swords.

Aedan: I think you mean cards.

Elinor, pulling knives out of her sleeves: No, I do not.

Durwin: He’ll probably, like, make a noise or throw a rock. That’s what I would do.

*Building explodes and several car alarms go off*

Durwin: … or he could do that.

Durwin: You two can’t swim?

Aedan: It’s a hypothetical question, Durwin! Who would you save?

Durwin: My time and effort.

Aedan: I’m depressed.

Aedan: Also I was stabbed, can you get Durwin, please.

I found a couple different incorrect quote generators and it was so much fun! Sorry if I repeat anything anyone else has used, but I found these hilarious:

Elinor: The door’s locked. Aedan, do you have a lockpick?

Aedan: Yeah–

Durwin: *kicks down the door*

Or:

Elinor: We…[Read more]

The link isn’t working, so I’m guessing you need to change access to allow for people clicking on the link. If you go to the google doc and click on the blue “Share” button at the top right it should bring up a menu. Under “General Access” select the arrow next to “Restricted” and click “Anyone with the link can view.” That…[Read more]

Hi, I don’t think we’ve met! I’ve seen you around KP though and I’ve looked at your blog a little, and your WIPs sound amazing! And I’ve seen the incorrect quotes too, only I have no idea how it’s done . . . it sounds fun though!

I love those! My favorite was the Morse code or the IDK, ILY, and TTYL. How do you do it, just think of stuff, or is there a quote generator or something you use?

My charries are Aedan and Elinor.

This was so much fun to read you guys! Can’t wait for November’s crush talk, lol. And poor Lesli, Dylan, and Paxton (he’s so cute though! I love him with Ara!)

Have fun! I’m leaving now, and so is @starofthenorth. I’ll be excited to read whatever you do! Thanks for playing with me, I didn’t know how fun it could be to play Truth or Dare with my charries and the charries of other people I don’t even know!! XD

LOL okay . . .

Briana turns deep red in embarrassment. “Well, I really don’t like how you get so concentrated on work that you stop paying attention to me. And um, well, I . . . really don’t like that green flannel shirt you wear every Sunday!”

I think @felicity is about to ask @starofthenorth right now. Not sure how much longer I’ll be on here but yay that you’re here!

Since Sara’s leaving you can go ahead and ask @starofthenorth ‘s!

And congrats on 600 words! I rewrote the first chapter of A Dream Come True but I didn’t count the words. I should!

LOL, she didn’t mean to?!?! Wow. Anyway, thanks, this was really fun! Have a good night!

LOL you can share, I don’t mind!

and @felicity

@starofthenorth says to tell you she is writing like a good girl but will jump on if you want to ask any of her charries some questions!

I’m sorry about the power outage! I might be able to play a few rounds with you. Do you want one of your charries to answer Elinor’s question or do you want to ask Aedan something?

Elinor smiles a little. (First time she’s smiled since appearing in the room.)

“Okay, Jessica. What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?”

Okay, cool!

Aedan looks a little angry that Alec doesn’t actually eat the worm, but he shrugs. “Okay, you can go, Elinor,” he says.

Elinor is in some shock from everything that just happened, but she manages to say, “Um . . . Jessica . . . truth or . . . dare?”

Just now saw that you renamed Zach to Alec. Okay. Alec. 😊

LOL Aedan comes from a medieval-type fantasy world, he’d never call anyone “man” or know the expression “eat your words”!! XD

. . . forces Zach’s mouth open and drops the worm in.

“Ha! Got you there!” Aedan says. “Eat your words, man!”

Aedan grabs the worm, opens his mouth, closes his eyes and . . .

Sorry I missed this topic for so long!

I’m Arien, a violinist, writer, language-learner, cat-lover, LOTR nerd, and overall a Christian trying to glorify God!

A few random questions (because the less random ones have already been asked):

1. Carpet or hard floor?

2. Socks or no socks?

3. Favorite language?

4. Glass half full…[Read more]

Aedan’s a boy, Elinor’s a girl, if that’s what you were asking about.
