Celarent 

Celarent glowered at Mateo, stuffing his hands in his pockets to hide their shaking. “Fine.” He could usually keep his mouth shut and convince people to like him, but something about Mateo made him forget every one of his carefully rehearsed rules of human interaction. It was infuriating. Celarent straightened…[Read more]

Ryla

Ryla nodded uncertainly. Falling into something or someone seemed like a foreseeable consequence of walking backwards to her, but neither of them had been hurt so it didn’t matter. “Take two. They’re chocolate chip.” She handed Maverick her bag of cookies. “Do you typically walk backwards?”

@whalekeeper

Glad I can be useful.

How often does your stutter happen?

It happens every day, but seemingly at random. I talked to a stranger today without having any problems, but then got stuck on the word “profile” when asking my friend if she had a spotify profile/account. It feels as random as getting hiccups, except more often.

Does it still…

I’m not sure. The police told me to call back if I hear anything else. My neighborhood is not a suspicious area – it’s old and very peaceful – but there’s a thick fence behind us, and a large apartment complex beyond. That’s where it probably came from.

@loopylin

I’m so glad you brought this back. And I’m glad you spoke up, because I’m writing a protagonist whose speech is very affected by stress, and it’s interesting to read about. How often does your stutter happen? Does it still affect you when you’re alone (if you talk to yourself)?

It’s also fascinating how stutters are similar to tics. I…[Read more]

I hope they’re okay, too. It sounded like a woman or a child, so I just hope it was an overdramatic kid? …I don’t know.

It was real because my sister heard some of it. I went out to my pitch-black yard and listened for a long time, and even heard faint sobbing in the wind. Very disturbing.

@whalekeeper Good im glad you’re ok. Kinda worried there for a bit.

I hope the person you heard was ok too

@theducktator @ellette-giselle @loopylin @keilah-h

Sorry for commenting so abruptly, so late – I’m okay! XD I heard bad screams coming from my skylight window. There was some sobbing and yelling for help, and it died away before I could figure out where it was coming from. So we called the police.

I tend to hear weird things in the middle of the…[Read more]

Don’t know is this counts as a neurological issue, but did yall know that you can develop a stutter in adulthood? Well I didn’t until recently. And it is the most frustrating thing ever. I no longer see characters with stutters as cute or anything, I just feel bad for them because I know how it feels now. Apparently, not only can stress affect…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

You have a good point. I always like it when books flip gender stereotypes without being weird about it. I read a book once where one of the MCs, a knight, enjoyed knitting. He was still a man, he just knit stuff.

@trailblazer

*shudders* Yeah, nothing short of a call from God could ever induce me to send my kids to public school. And my kids aren’t going to be allowed to date until they’re 16 either.

@rae Aww Chase, you’re the best disney princess ever.

I want to hug him <3

@whalekeeper You just enjoy messing with us, don’t you?

@whalekeeper

*concern*

Umm explanation, please. Are you and your family alright?

@whalekeeper

Are you okay???

The first stories I remember writing were 2nd grade assignments. In one, this group of ducks, Helen, Joy, Valentine, and Lulu, were at home being babysat by this really cool babysitter (I think her name was Lila, and she was both a police officer and a princess) who was taking them out to go toilet paper people’s houses. I’d just found out that…[Read more]

Calling 911 is one of the most adrenaline-pumping experiences ever, especially when you’re a witness to something no one else experienced

I do not know the answers to these questions now, because I do not have Scrivener yet. I’m thinking about buying Scrivener soon, for the sole purpose of shifting my more personally valuable stuff to that.

If you do not get your answers to these questions from somebody else, I will find out the answers from my dad when he helps me. (Yes, I am…[Read more]

@koshka XD  That’s a lot of fruit. Maybe you’re hungry lol
