Doesn’t everyone have at least a fragment of virtue though? (Sorry, I don’t mean to shut down everything you’re saying, this is just my thoughts. 😅) I’m not saying they have to be someone that the readers will look up to and be like, “Oh my word I want to be just like them.” I understand mankind is sinful and there probably are people out there t…

Now, you mentioned your characters not knowing God. And I liked how you put that—“without God there is no hope.” But…you have to think that these characters are probably looking for hope, right? Even just an occasional thought of wishing there was a way out of this darkness they’re living in.

So I know with where they’re at right now,…

Hey guys, I posted the first Topic of the Week question since last year! (I hesitated to post it for quite some time.)

@everyone

Check out Topic of the Week!!

@keilah-h

That looks so good right now… I wish I was a good enough baker to make that on a whim.

@keilah-h

Of course!

@ellette-giselle

Ha! Took me a second to figure out where this is going……. I’ll be surprised if they’re both still alive and out of jail by the end of the day.

Lol

You kidding me? The police have already tried to take Alpha (when he stabbed Jep and Chase went to the hospital) and well, Alpha hasn’t stepped foot in the station yet.

@theducktator @ellette-giselle

I bet he’s gonna die in the end.

He can’t die; I like him too much!

Oh dear…well, two more stories left and then you’ll know. Don’t worry, Baron will be happy with the ending.

 I would love to see this published someday!

Hopefully sometime in Spring I will submit it to a publisher. Fingers crossed though cuz…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Hm… You can go this route. I put a skylight on the train car as a light source. It’s exaggerated so you get the idea.

Otherwise, if you don’t want another light source, I’d say just shade as if the sun is above. A glow still falls on us during a cloudy day, even if it doesn’t lead to sharp shadows.

@esther-c

I also hope I didn’t come across as rude or brushing you off…I really do appreciate your thoughts because that means I need to work on foreshadowing! And explaining my book to others helps me flesh out my thoughts a little more! Thank you so much! <3

@loopylin

Gradually, though, the cough turned into a hoarse, uncontrolled laugh. A moment later he sat up, a half-grin on his face, and his pupil dilated like a cat’s in the dark.

My heartbeat actually spiked when I read that

@esther-c

Ok, so the biggest thing I noticed was the lack of hope throughout the story. The characters seemed to think about death a lot and were put through a lot of physical pain. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but it needs to be balanced out with hope. When I got to read those Lilitu/Sef memories from when they were little, that w…

@raxforge (I changed a few things in the story btw) @ellette-giselle @keilah-h @whalekeeper @hybridlore @theducktator

Story 10!

Only two more stories and then The Baron Chronicles will come to a close. Thx for reading this far! 💜

The blaze in the fireplace crackled. Baron balanced a pencil on his hand, staring down at his rose drawing on…[Read more]

@loopylin

… May I ask what’s in Alpha’s pockets?

Alpha’s gonna be so mad lol

•  A pocket knife (are you surprised lol)
• some loose change
• some random things he picked up like an acorn probably (Strange new world, strange new things, random things in pockets)
• a picture from a couple years back of him and Nar having a flour fight (he lost)

@loopylin

I like messing with the idea of a world where almost everything you interact with is alive and has its own character. It’s fun.

Huh, never thought of that as a magic thing before. That’s a new idea for me.

*Munches popcorn and M&Ms*

@loopylin

Alpha’s reaction.

I apologize to Dante ahead of time. I like you Dante, but Alpha is not a fan.

Alpha

Before Dante could get far, he was pinned against the wall in the hallway outside their room, Alpha’s finger’s wrapped around his throat. A red vapor was thinly veiling Alpha’s eyes. “Watch yourself, Dante. You may think you know a…[Read more]
