Hey there, Caitlyn! I’m Erica.

I love science too! What area of science do you like best? I love marine biology.

So . . . questions!

1. What’s the coldest weather you’ve ever experienced? (Seems to be a popular topic around here lol)

2. Is black coffee good? 😁

3. When did you start writings?

4. Who is your favorite…[Read more]

@arien

LOL yes, that was a sad day. Actually I wasn’t supposed to put even ONE chipotle pepper in there . . . it was supposed to be one can of seedless mild green chiles, and I used a can of definitely NOT mild and also very seed-ful green jalapenos. As I said, sad day.

Lol!! Was the soup good? (If it wasn’t too spicy) 😀

That’s what sisters are…

Hello! I don’t think I’ve officially met you yet. Nice to meet you, Power (or Black Mongoose 😉 !

Congratulations on writing 1000 words! 🎉

Thank you!!

Interesting story, though I will admit that I don’t read many books with abusive situations in them though (Unless you qualify knights/cowboys/spacemen attempting to kill/steal each o…

Woot woot! Glad your back in the castle! Julian i suppose disappeared…. things got a bit confusing…

So we’ve got some charries that were fighting a wind, I believe that was Milo and a few others. @loopylin has a dragon who scared people lol, and the group we were in split further.

The only group I could tell you with…[Read more]

I post chapters of my WIP  (“Afterthoughts”, working title) here sometimes, if you are interested. I’d recommend starting at the beginning of the forum if you feel like reading. No pressure, just if you are interested! Critiques are…[Read more]

Previous to that, my sister and I would make up stories with out stuffies and toys.
Yes, us too! So much fun, right? I would make literally anything I was doing into a story when I was younger–mostly playing outside, but also cooking, cleaning my room, doing laundry, a…

Wow, all of y’all’s stories are so inspiring 😊😍!!
So, I’ve always loved reading. Even when I was little enough to not know how to read, I would sit in the floor with a picture book and try to read to myself and my mama.
When I was about eleven, I was on a zoom call…[Read more]

@orielle21

Yeah! If the stakes are low, that means there’s not much at stake.

High stakes would be if somebody was at risk of dyeing or permanent damage.

Doesn’t seem like anyone going to die here XD

@orielle21

Oh, and I like the pic you chose for Joel XD

@orielle21

Oh! I really liked that. I wouldn’t change a thing! It seems like the kind of story you read when you need a pick me up. Low stakes, but still lots of fun, and the time travel thing makes it extra interesting! I felt like you did a really good job moving between the dialogue and the narrated sections.

Thanks for the great read!

@felicity

It was rather cheesy, but…we laughed. That’s all that matters, right? 😀 😀 Sweet!

Lol, yes, that’s all that matters! Speaking of sibling laughs, my little brother is always talking about how many books I read, and he was singing the song from Tangled, the part where Repunzel’s singing “And then I’ll read a book, or maybe two or three.” B…[Read more]

@felicity

Wait, are you sure he wasn’t teasing you? 🤣 It was pretty obvious to me!

Oh, no, I know when he’s teasing, and he wasn’t teasing 🤣. Okay, good!! 😂

@esther-c

Took me a while to reply, but now I am! 😁

Yay! Thank you for taking the time to respond 😊!

First of all, I could really feel the sibling dynamic! Great job on that! Sibling dynam…

@felicity

*clears throat* Yeah it’s true.

Um, we were having a bit of a joke. We were in the same room, both on KP, and when she said in her intro, “I’m a baby barista”, I put, “hey, my sister works at a coffee shop too!” and…well, we lost it.

Omg, that’s hilarious!!! I love it!! That sounds like something me and my cousin would do (We’re like s…[Read more]

@arien

One thing about writing style: sometimes using more descriptive words for “said” can be distracting and sound contrived.

Yeah, I use said too much. I’ve actually started having my grandma’s I-Pad next to me while I write, and the I-Pad has a list of words to use other than “Said.”

I know, it can be hard not to use “said” all the time, b…

Haha, I was able to get from my email to a specific forum to the forums page, but not to recent topics 😊

Lol, I bet that was confusing!
