@whalekeeper nerds rule

I guess I have a hands-on tool I haven’t said before: I created a game for my story, with hole-punch pieces on graph paper and ten pages of notes on how they work and move and stuff, and I use that to simulate battles. It adds some realism (so the good guys don’t win every time when the odds are stacked against them) and…[Read more]

You mean you’re not going to publish it? 🥺🥺🥺

Aww man…

@whalekeeper This is cool! I wish I had a cool name for my method – maybe I’ll come up with one

I have all these yellow legal pads (I know I’m nerdy) where I have pages and pages of random ideas, notes from literature, parallels I want to draw, specific outlines for scenes, etc. but here’s what I mainly do: I have a page for each chapter, and…[Read more]

@rae I know how you feel, Slick’s story has been strangely enjoyable, but it’s not too weird yet since they haven’t actually done anything bad yet

Johnny

Vinny grinned. “It’s a deal. But save it for the boy. We’ll just steal his hoodie, and then you get him all to yourself.”

Slick breathed out. “Alright, I’ll allow it, I suppose.” He seemed…[Read more]

@rae

Slick

Slick flidgetted under Jep’s razor gaze like a fly staring down a frog. He was rapidly rethinking his life choices that had been made in the past five seconds. “Er, sounds good.”

Johnny tapped his shoulder. “Huddle.”

Slick obeyed, getting in a circle with Johnny, Vinny, and El Burro. The last one sort of weaseled his way in, but the…[Read more]

@rae you’re good

Johnny

“Ok, Jep,” Slick said smoothly, “We’re The Society. We mess with people. You want in?”

Vinny wondered to himself, still seated on the ground, “Who should we hit first?”

One of El Burro’s boys, a scrappy white kid, spoke around a mouthful of chewing tobacco. “We saw a kid in a hoodie on our way over, partner. He was with…[Read more]

@rae

Johnny

Slick jumped and stammered, “Uh, um, yes, and, who are you?”

El Burro’s smile turned unsettling. “You did not say there would be women, Senior.”

Slick glared at him. “Not for you, there aren’t. I mean, not now.”

Vinny twitched on the ground, then rolled over painfully. Still half-conscious, he ran his eyes up and down the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

How odd: I literally just was thinking “the chat seems to be dormant so I should write something to carry it through” and then I see the notif. I understand! I’ve been trying to write my actual story and I write a paragraph and then go play minecraft and it’s really frustrating.

I do want to do some more stuff with Slick real quick,…[Read more]

@whalekeeper NO WAY I literally was just thinking that your church is our auntie church

Therefore, if we are sons and daughters of the church, you are my second cousin once removed

@rae I meant Lukas & Livia because their conversation ended and was about to get awkward so I thought I’d come to the rescue with something relatively exciting. If you wanted to do an intro for her and have her do some stuff that would be good, since I can’t RP for a few days

@whalekeeper did you see the RP I did on page 390? If Hugo and the dog…[Read more]

@keilah-h

in a way, we do… we talk about strange things, like family and story characters

Congrats! May your gifts glorify the Lord and further His kingdom. May God guide your pen!

@rae is chase in the garden? Or is it those other two there?
