Ami

Ami followed him after a quick glance at the girl, fumbling for something to break the awkward silence. Finally, she sighed and paused. “Am I reading too much into the situation?”

Clint turned to face her.

“What I mean is—” she sighed. Why did she have to make it all awkward in the first place? “I don’t know. You just seem…[Read more]

I’ve read some mysteries, but I’ve never written one before. 😅 I think I’d recommend to start backwards though. Where do you want the mystery to lead the characters?/What’s the end result? And how are they going to get there? What clues lead them to that point?

Besides that, I’d just say to read mysteries and notice the trends, a…[Read more]

Hey!! It has been a while!

Your blog sounds awesome!!
Umm… Personally I like seeing tough or controversial topics and how Christians should respond to them, but if you posted about that or not would totally depend on what you’re comfortable writing about and posting.
I also enjoy when fellow Christians share what they’ve…[Read more]

Hey, just saw the update about your Grandma that you were giving Min. That’s hard. 😕 I’ll be praying for her and all of you guys. ❤️

“Yeah,” he said softly. “It’s like you’re afraid of what they might think of you…”

Easton 

“For a non-dancer, you dance pretty well.” A smirk accompanied her statement.

Easton smiled. “I suppose so. I’ve been watching everybody for a while, and it looked pretty easy.” He shrugged. He watched Falon’s smooth footwork for a moment. She wasn’t even glancing down at her feet. “Where’d you learn to dance?”

@freedomwriter76

Poor boiii ):

Ami

Ami couldn’t tear her gaze away from Ev’s dancing chocolate brown eyes until she caught Clint across the room. He gave her a smile, a thumbs-up, then left the room.

A sudden realization hit Ami in the gut, twisting her stomach. She stopped dancing and looked up at Ev. “I— I need to, to go talk to someone…[Read more]

@rae

Interesting, Strahchi will do something similar, addressing each other by their middle and given name (though ofc for them the middle name comes before their given name). Adress only by given name is reserved only for family members. People rarely address each other by their ‘last’ name.

(it’s funny, because this is only supposed to be a sid…[Read more]

GIRLLL Nae is so CUTE!!!!

“I’m S-Sef,” she whispered, looking at the floor.

@smiley

Oh, of course not…Ev isn’t the bad guy lol…I just know exactly how Falon feels XD

@esther-c

Livia

“Yeah…me too….” she sighed. “I never have anyone to talk to except Xandro and I always feel so awkward whenever I try to talk to anyone else.”

While we’re on cultures, and names, Realn call everyone by their first names usually, or treat the middle name like a last name. For instance, Mandin Owen Ward is called Mandin Owen just because it’s known he’s from the family-clan Ward. Lone Ones, like Nahim, don’t belong to this general rule.

@jonas @rae

She is aware that not all cultures function on the same naming mechanics, so she’ll probably assume that since he gave no middle name (which are always one-syllable and follow a specific pattern) that his name works normally.

It’s gonna be interesting when Szabrin starts calling Ellis Percaro.

Best ng called Nayhelm doesn’t effect Nahim as much as it does to other Realn because he’s the last Nayhelm. Being called Nayhelm is now pretty common.

Actually wait, I take it back, fullblooded Strahchi can use Imitation ignore my mistake. I got mixed up.

@jonas

Szabrin

“I’m Strahchi.” Szabrin said, “Well, part. Pureblooded Strahchi can’t use Imitation…” She trailed off. “What’s Thae Shi? And where are you from? I don’t recognize these terms you’re using.”

Szabrin

Szabrin hesitated. “I… Imitated a bird. Flew up there.” She said, and then added defensively, “I got distracted.”

@trailblazer

Yeah… unfortunately, I know nothing about mysteries (I don’t know if I’ve vet read even one), so I won’t be able to help much.

@jonas

Szabrin

Szabrin slid unceremoniously backwards off the roof, landing in an undignified heap. Embarrassed, she stood, dusting herself off. “Atiz Sa Szabrin.” She said, “Who are you? And where in the shadows am I?”

***

Szabrin’s name is probably going to confuse everyone XD
