Okay guys…sorry I’m late, but meet the McKinleys!

Reuben McKinley

45 years old, 6’3. He’s easygoing and friendly, very easy to talk to. He’s one of those parents that will stay at church for hours chatting it up. He has blue eyes and blonde hair, good looking and muscular.

Sorry guys, I’m super late! Anything important that I missed that I should know before I make my “family”?

@thearcaneaxiom

I have thought about what you said about the problems with Ottoline’s character, and have decided on a few new things about her history. I was thinking that instead of just the “laboratory”, that they take the Paynes to a work camp to build tools and new technology. Then if they become sick, or get out of line, then the Pythonos…[Read more]

Ottoline

She knew that he was waiting for her to tell him her story. They all were. Her first instinct was to shove the memories away. But he had been vulnerable and shared his. And so she began.

Letting go of his hand, just for a moment, she brought her shaking hands…[Read more]

@keilah-h

thanks!

@acancello

Thanks! They are so sweet 😭

@acancello

Yeah, that was kind of my plan that they could share each other’s stories!

Also, I love their “romance” they’re sooooo cute!!!

HOTTOLINE FOREVER!!!

Ottoline

“It’s going to be okay,” Hugo said, his voice cracking. Ottoline barely even heard him. She could still hear Jraldath’s words echoing in her mind…worthless…stupid….ugly, she could still feel the jarring sensation as she hit the floor. It is not okay, …[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings @acancello @esther-c @freedomwriter76 @trailblazer @grcr

Oh my gosh guys…Ottoline’s story is so sad, reading it literally almost made me cry (and I wrote it)!

@acancello @grcr @mineralizedwritings @esther-c @freedomwriter76 @trailblazer

Ottoline

Tired of the conversation, Ottoline decided to get a breather and sit on the inviting looking gray couch over in the corner. She pondered the past events in her mind. In one day, she had failed to get food, found a mysterious house, met new people, actually…[Read more]

@esther-c

I’ve been learning a lot about Ottoline as well every time I write her POV. I think this is really helpful!

@freedomwriter76

Yeah a lot has happened….lol

@grcr @mineralizedwritings @acancello

yep! so it’s official, lol. it will also build drama as the characters either begin to have suspicions of each other or to to the other side of the pendulum and begin to trust each other. (if this is the case, than “Hottoline” will become a bigger deal)

@mineralizedwritings

I love that idea! Actually I was just wondering if we should make the door be locked the other day, but wasn’t sure if you guys would want to do that.

@trailblazer

I had a bonnet too!!!

@trailblazer

Oh my gosh…my Little House phase lasted like three years! I would always wear my hair in two braids, and a dress (mainly one that my grandma made for me that looked exactly like something Laura would wear). I would even try to walk like Laura and hum the intro to the Little House movies!

It was really bad, lol

@esther-c @grcr @mineralizedwritings @acancello @trailblazer @freedomwriter76

Ottoline

Learn to trust? Ottoline stifled a laugh. What a ridiculous concept!  She watched Kari walk away and a sense of guilt set on her shoulders. What was wrong with her? Why couldn’t she be more like Kari, or Amir, or Lane, or even Hugo, as annoying as he was? Why…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Thanks for your patience with me! I hope this is a good kickoff to get started. Oh, and excuse my potty mouth😂

Haha! I love this because I can have my characters “swear” in the book without saying actual swear words. I can avoid people thinking the words in their head, and because the made up words have no meaning in reality, I…[Read more]

@grcr

nice! well, everyone, I have to go now. Nice talking you you all, goodnight!

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and we believe that Heavenly Father, the Holy Ghost, and Jesus Christ are three distinct beings, though they are indeed one in purpose. (Please don’t burn me at the stake😅)

I’m not inclined to burn people at the stake, and since I can’t burn anyone through my…[Read more]
