@felicity

Yes!! I loved it! You’re so welcome! 🙂

Oh okay! Yeah, I was wondering how much you would write of the war, –since there are two sides to the story, and we’re not sure who’s right, –or as you said, how it affects the people.

Okay!! Thank you for explaining!! 😀

@starofthenorth

That’s so cool! I think that would be illegal for me to do where I live . . . lol.

Aw, bummer! Yeah, me, my brothers, and friends do that in the summer. I don’t think it’s illegal here…I’ll have to check.

If you wanted to do that, you probably could! It might not be illegal as long as you don’t capture any creature that’s rare o…[Read more]

In the summer, I’ll catch fish and maybe a salamander, and I keep them in my outside aquarium, and observe them and write down what I see, then a month or so later, I’ll let them go.

That’s so cool! I think that would be illegal for me to do where I live . . . lol.

@arien

Hello and nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too :D!!

Thank you! Arien is a kind of obscure character in The Silmarillion, and when I found it, I thought that’s cool, I think I’ll make that my pen name! 🙂

You’re welcome!! Oh, cool! I haven’t read the Silmarillion yet, but I’m gonna try and work up the courage to buy it and…read it XD.

Finally caught up a bit on this! So glad you’re making such great progress!

Oh that was really sad 😭 I got a bit teary eyed lol.

Really good though! And yeah, that last line is PERFECTION! Like it fits perfectly, helps us understand Rikers conflict, and it just… 🤩?

Great work!

@starofthenorth

1. The only thing I don’t like about my pleco is how much it hides! Sometimes I don’t see it for days at a time lol 🙂

1. Oh, yeah, lol. I had a baby bluegill that I caught in the wild, and he would stay hidden all the time too! In the summer, I’ll catch fish and maybe a salamander, and I keep them in my outside aquarium, and obs…[Read more]

Oh thanks! I’m so glad you like Lesli and Tauren!

You’re sooo welcome!! yes! they’re so Good!! 😀

I’m really savoring everything about how living underground is different, because they don’t know anything different….or do they? 🤨

Okay! Ooh mysterious… XD.

Anyways, 😂

It just y’know.. has to do with future thingys 😉…

@felicity

Oh, I really like this!! I love the set up of their home and family life.

Just wondering, how far into the Russo-Ukranian war is it? From what I understand, is it just beginning?

Yeah, @mineralizedwritings tip about changing up the action words with ing and no ing could help the story flow a little better.

Anyway, I loved it! Can’t…[Read more]

@loopylin

Thanks! 😊 He’s kinda my favorite.

You’re welcome! Yeah, I can tell :).

…but don’t tell Ed and El. I’d like to keep my life XD

Oh yes! ! don’t want to lose a new friend! I won’t tell. XD

@felicity

I really liked that!

Glad to see another present tense writer! We’re pretty far and few between here on KP. 😀

Something That I do to help with the flow is alternate action words with ing and no ing. For example, this sentence could be said with either way.

“I say, as I step inside.

“I say, stepping inside.

If I use “step”, then I…[Read more]

@loopylin

Oh, I’m so sorry!! I’m just rocking the ‘mistaking someones character for another’ thing this month XD, right @mineralizedwritings ? XD.

For some reason, I thought Kad was your character i guess bc he’s in the group with Eddie and Ellie (Those are your charries right?) and Dante and Rueben and others.

You can probably just ignore my…

@loopylin

Okay! Good ideas! Kad, you mean?

@felicity

TOTALLY!!!!

The puppie’s parents were not sweet to them and they died. Heavenly Father killed the parents because they were mean to their children.
That’s so good!!! 😀

Yay!! I just read the 2nd chapter, and it’s so cute!! That’s actually really good for 10-11! I’m gonna g…[Read more]
