Hand shaking just isn’t a thing with youths here, which is a shame because I like shaking hands (it makes me feel powerful since I can make grown butchers wince. I just have to remember not to crush the old ladies). But you can always go for the high five if they initiate it. 😛

@rochellaine I meant to ask, do you have a Goodreads author account?

@waterlily oh, by the way, what do you mean you were writing a video? Do you have a Youtube channel?

@ariel-ashira Yikes, yes I will definitely be praying!

@waterlily Sorry, but I have to leave now 🙁

@waterlily Haha, you’re watching a Youtube video? 😉

@waterlily Awesome! 🙂

I’m working on my dystopian WIP. How about you?

@seekjustice @rochellaine (or are you still gone?) @alia Anyone still on?

@alia

I like all of them!! How do I choose just one? I like If Dreams Came True the best probably. 🙂

@rochellaine that prompt is hilarious! 😀
