How To Train Your Dragon, Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and maybe Dune are all better than the books.

@hybridlore

The only problem is, I’ll have to figure out where that belongs in Cole’s character arc, since the timing on that is a little uncertain. I’m planning for this to be a duology, so that might be a great idea for the second book. I’ll just have to spend some time figuring out when I want to repair their relationship.

Ah, so you want th…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Oh, this is unrelated, but by the way, how is Challenge 4 going? What are you planning to do for your senior thesis? (I saw you were sprinting to work on it.)

You’ve seen that already? I haven’t figured out how to make a slack account yet. 😂

4 is going well! Classmates have been a little emotional, though. The first day this year, one…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

I’d say The Princess Bride was a tie.

@keilah-h

Jurassic Park is a book?

@hybridlore

Awesome!! Sorry I stopped tagging you, I didn’t know if you were still reading.

I’m sorry I didn’t read sooner. XD I seem to have the unfortunate tendency of promising my feedback on multiple manuscripts. Nevertheless, I am here.

Making the world relatable was one of my big focuses, because I didn’t want it to just be this unr…

@ellette-giselle oh sorry I forgot about that! Eddie would’ve loved to go with Rory, but she’s also the type to jump at the opportunity to go with any guy

The Twins 

Ellie rolled her eyes.

“Don’t let her scare you,” she said to Syph. “You don’t need a partner. You can just show up. You don’t even need to dance. You could…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Honestly, their economic system makes no sense. They just have infinite money???

@whalekeeper

Yes! It’s back!

My love of dance has influenced my attitude toward critique a lot. It’s taught me to want corrections. One thing my favorite ballet teacher always says is that listening to your corrections is the best way to improve, and I’ve heard variations of this from the other teachers as well. The aforementioned favorite…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Oh wow, you’re an adult now. Yeah, paperwork, insurance, college, taxes, a job…good luck! XD

@hybridlore

Thank you girl! Yeah, basically. It’s a lot more than that though. Pretty much about a year ago, I realized I was never going to get better if I kept letting my parents take care of my health (my mom has been helping me with my health via vitamins and stuff she found online for about 5 years after multiple Doctors said I had no cure).…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Hey! Yeah, it has been a long time. I don’t come on here much unless summoned. Honestly I’m probably at the hardest point in my life rn so I’m doing pretty bad most days, but it feels like I’ve grown more in this year than my entire life somehow 😂

How are you?

@loopylin @liberty

*screeches* Fiends! Thou shalt pay for this!

@hybridlore

Ooh, that looks fun! I think I’ll join the July one.

@hybridlore

I read through everything so far!

This is looking great. I’m really impressed with your style. It’s so confident and… I don’t know how to phrase this. Occupied with the plot. There’s always something going on, and because of the realistic dialogue, I can really believe in the overall realism of the world.

I like how the world and…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I sympathize with the soundtrack issue. I imagine scenes and plot points behind almost any instrumental song. But when it’s from Apollo 13, which I have never watched… I’m not perfectly comfortable just connecting the two. And of course it fells awkward to explain to people. XD

Like, no. My book has nothing to do with Lord of the…[Read more]

@hybridlore

LOl! It is kinds my profile here too, so I might have to apologize for being confusing. XD

CWW has some good memories though…

I can totally see that in your writing. For some reason that sentence just sounded a lot like some of the shorter snippets I’ve read from you.

Really? Now I’m curious. XD I’m always interested in how my w…[Read more]

@loopylin

Aw, I forgot Marcel was taking Ellie. I don’t know how. I love a good friend dynamic. Those two are so cute.

@koshka @raxforge

Ellie 

“Great!” Eddie winked at Syph. “Now you just need to get yourself a girl.”

Rax turned to Ellie, “What about you, do you have a partner?”

She looked surprised. Her attempt to stay unnoticed by her classmates had failed quickly.

“Yes,” she said softly. “My friend Marcel.”

@ellette-giselle

Anti protection squad

This got me laughing out loud pretty hard XD

And, I’m sorry, but after meeting you in person, you’re too sweet to be a psychopath <3

@koshka That dancing sounds cool! I thought of Irish dance when you said his dancing was competitive. And I love that his water magic is part of it.

I used to take Irish dance lessons when I was little *cue nostalgic flashbacks of me being a clumsy child*
