Thank you. (: It’s based a little on a time when I periodically visited my great-grandfather.

@freed_and_redeemed

Thank you! It’s for my new WIP. (Which you probably already know. XD)

I like yours. His character is always interesting to see illustrated visually. The contrast of tender love for his children and the dark realities of his past right next to each other is incredible. ❤️ And the quites add hope. ☺️

@whalekeeper

That’s… Really bittersweet. It feels very much like it’s inside a person’s head. As the child who grew up going to nursing homes, I like it. The end makes it sweet.

@stephie

I still love role playing games, even though I don’t play them very often anymore.😂 Dollhouse, except it would catch fire, tea party, but the rubber duck’s little brothers would find a way to wreck it, new rubber ducks had to make perilous journeys to reach the other ones, a ridiculous amount of romantic drama…our toys have int…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oh very interesting! I really like it. It feels like the perspective of somebody who is forgetting their life but still loves the people around them through confusion.

@koshka

I do that to chocolate cream pies, but that goes without saying.

Do you make French silk pies? We do that, and coconut cream pies. There’s also something called hopscotch, which is a mixture of peanut butter, butterscotch, marshmallows, and uncooked chow mein noodles.

That would be… interesting.

It would be. I’d rather not risk it. XD

@koshka

Yeeeeesss 😭 I’m tasked with making them each year, and I secretly eat the masa and meat raw like cookie dough… 😬

My shower thoughts sometimes turn into poems. 😛

…

No name.

Ten years I’ve lost my ever-changing mind.

My words have slowed, and must be redefined.

Your name slips on my tongue, a stranger’s taste;

The dullness and the gray leave me misplaced.

A nursing home will try to…[Read more]

@grcr

Well… I’ve read books with 100+ chapters, so it wouldn’t bother me at all. The book I’m reading right now is YA fantasy with roughly 70 chapters. If your chapters are a little short, it might make sense to combine some of them so it doesn’t feel too choppy. But otherwise it’s all up to you.

@koshka

Tamales especially are definitely a holiday food here. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t eat them year round, which we do, they’re just a Christmas tradition I guess.

No waaaay. O.O That’s our tradition! We have homemade tamales for Christmas dinner every year, plus a huge smorgasbord of cheese, meats, candies, etc.

@elishavet-pidyon

It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a Fisherprice nativity.😃

@theshadow

I do. I also have friends who do not. One family I know celebrate a Christian version of Hanukkah instead, which is essentially celebrating how Jesus brought light into the world. The other doesn’t observe anything that could be confused with Winter Solstice and Yule. For me, I agree with @power . The holiday is what you make it.

My…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium @ellette-giselle

It’s fine with me.

@theducktator

That’s perfect. Making up stories for things can be really handy though. I have a whole legend for a dress I’m making that has me as the younger daughter of a Holiness Methodist preacher in the woods of Texas who was heavily influenced by the Cane Ridge revival. We’re lower of the middle class, so my second best dress is a little…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you are chopping pecans and decide that they are getting executed for treason.

You know you’re a writer when you are playing family, and you are the long lost cousin from Australia who was in jail for arson and wants to burn down the White House.

My dad just got laid off. Please pray that he finds another job soon.

@ellette-giselle Bwahahahaha

@liberty lol. I have 52 snowballs as of the last count.

*cackling*

@ellette-giselle Glad you liked it! This is probably the closest thing to a romance plot that I’ve written. (Instead of it being a small side plot.)

@stephie Since you apparently want to lay catch. *chases you*

OK…

*a giant cloud of snowballs puffs up from my…[Read more]

@esther-c @liberty @ellette-giselle

OK. There won’t be as many more scenes from this story that I’ll share, but here you go. Its 95o words should render me free from all residual snowball debts I owe.

Tada…………..

She laughed as she dusted her hands free of crumbs.

From the sounds coming from the nearby cotes, the other shepherds were…[Read more]

@esther-c @liberty

Y’all are terrible. XD Now I owe almost a thousand words. I’m going to have so much fun once I have my words written.
