Alia replied to the topic Create-a-story in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
I wake to the sound of rustling grass and the smell of blood. Only, I can’t see anything, not even when I open my eyes.
“Did we win?” I mumble breathlessly.
Akila wipes stray hairs away from her face. “Yeah, why?”
I grunt, struggling to sit up. “If we won, why am I bleeding?”
“When you got stabbed the enemy, everyone was so surprised they…[Read more]

@rochellaine @warrenluther04 Sometimes when I’m having a bad dream, and I know I’m dreaming, I can like will myself to wake up.
One time I dreamed that a whole bunch of people and I were in my house, hiding from terrorists. And someone said something like, “Wake up from your dream, and at least you will be safe!” So I did! It was interesting

@sleepwalkingmk Thanks! Yeah, I think Jenna is basically just another side of myself…
@seekjustice Did I now…? Well, glad you liked it XD
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
@rochellaine Well, N.C. is under the order of Kirk, and I know you don’t like Kirk very much…… Well, sorry about that…
Ohhh, I knew N.C. was a Trekker before you were even on…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira YES! ANOTHER ENFJ!! I love being an ENFJ. 😛
@daeus It was clearly because of your nose. XD 😛

@ariel-ashira lol I’m really only a king because @dragon-snapper made me one. That and the fact that I obviously have a superlative nose. 😉 😛

@dekreel That presumes I have a Pinterest account. 😛
@rochellaine This is why I don’t let @the-real-kapeefer beta-read my novels.

SleepwalkingMK posted an update 8 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice I just finished Parts 1 and 2 of Stars Fill Infinity and I NEED TO GUSH ABOUT IT.
CHESSY AND SAPPHIRE. ARE SO GOOD. I can’t even tell which is my favorite. When I read Sapph’s POV, I immediately think she’s my favorite, but then go back to Chessy’s and then she’s my favorite again. THEIR RELATIONSHIP. THEIR PAINED, HARD, REAL,…[Read more] -

@dekreel I love how this is so funny but so deep and true and helpful at the same time. *hugs you and Jenna* And that second to last line… XD

@skredder Just the kind of ending I wanted. XD Thanks!
@ariel-ashira Thank you! This is a Kingdom Pen adventure I’ve been working on. Sort of like Warren’s Dog series. You can read my whole story here. Just scroll down first. XD
Oh, never mind, you have read it all! XD Thank you so much!! I’m glad you like it! And yes, you can’t go wrong w…[Read more]

This comment though! OH. MY. WORD. Can I ever tell you how much I love it?
Thank you so, so, so, so, much! (I read it aloud to my sister and now she’s going around shouting “and WISDOM!” because Rain is also one of her favourite characters.)
I’m really glad that you love it, because I love it too and I’m glad to have shared a little bit of my…[Read more]
SAPPHIREEEEEEEE NOOOOOOOO
RAINNN AND JONAS AND KENDALL AND WAIF AND IRAS WHY???
*breathes* I KNOW IT”S LES MIS AND EVERYONE DIES. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN I WAS PREPARED.
*sighs* *takes a deep breath*
(As you may have guessed I finished part 3 :P)
BUT THE REST. IT”S SO SAADDDDD BUT HOW JUSTICE CHANGES… *sigh* It’s bittersweet. AND KAI IS ALL…[Read more]
I’M SO SO SORRY!!!
Luckily, I am prepared and there is a support group for survivors of Stars. *points out to you @jenwriter17 and @rochellaine )
Yes, Micah 6:9 is where my name comes from (and where Justice’s name comes from too, but I had it first).
I’m so glad you liked it!
@sleepwalkingmk Support group coming up! *hands you tissues* That horrible wonderful third part of Stars can really kill you, can’t it? Let’s all cry together, and philosophize on the realities of loving a book even when the author does the unthinkable and kills all your favorite characters.
@seekjustice @rochellaine
@sleepwalkingmk wow. that was a lot of fangirling.;) but I was the SAME WAY! *pulls box of tissues close* the feels, y’all, the feels.
ahem, we need a support group for the support group 😉 *tries not to go on about the character killing again* *fails* I MISS RAIN SOOO MUCH! SHE WAS MY PRECIOUS!
@seekjustice *throws away another tissue* Thank you…
And the significance of your name in your book is really cool. *coughs at mine* Mine is just random 😛
@rochellaine Thank you, I was just running out 🙁 Yay! Right?! How does that even work? I suppose keeping Chessy, Kai, Chessy’s dad, Quillon… and redeeming Justice. That helped. A lot. But…[Read more]
@sleepwalkingmk I have always wondered about your tag. It is kind of…odd. That’s always been one of my favourite versions, because I think it, and verse 8, list things that we forget so often in our day. we don’t make sacrifices anymore, but we often think that good works and “piety” are the things God wants, when in reality he wants us to love…[Read more]
@seekjustice Haha, thank you 😀 The MK part is because I’m a missionary kid, and the sleepwalking part is just a random username I like 😀
Yeah, it’s a great verse! And I love how you communicate that in the book. JUST IN SUCH A PAINFUL WAY.. *breathes* I’m calm. I’m calm.
Haha! Okay, good 😀
Well, I guess the MK part, but yeah.
Thanks, I think 😀
I’ve written the prologue for the sequel, but haven’t started it yet. I think it’s going to be just as heartbreaking.
@seekjustice Haha. 😀
OH GOODNESS. May I please be on the beta list? Like I need my heart broken again 😛 But your writing is too good. Is this the retelling of A Tale of Two Cities?
You may 🙂 I’ll add you. Thanks, that really means a lot too mean and it’s really encouraging. 🙂 Yep, that’s it.
YAYYYYY! Thank you so much! 😀 Aww, you’re welcome! *dances around* *buys a boatload of tissue boxes*
@sleepwalkingmk Yes, we must support each other! We must be strong!
