Stupendous points! Those are things I’ve thought about with a shudder. Some of our soldiers captured in Afghanistan were women. In one situation, she was the only one to survive because the medical staff of the place didn’t want to see her die.
Our Marine grandfather told my mother that she’d enlist “over his dead body.” Meanwhile, a…[Read more]

He has become his own character with his own separate struggles and personality. Plot wise? Yeah, it’s different.
If you mean you’re safe to start knocking them off…😎 Beware of repercussions. 😎
Just kidding. Do what is best for the story.

This is getting very interesting! I wonder what shenanigans will follow now they’re all together, yet I’m worried about who is getting struck next.
Amelia is a sweetheart with a spine of steel. I love when she’s on set.
One thing that caught me:
Joseph could still remember the way and rode eagerly along the streets until they…

I’m glad it’s a good one. I’ve imagined telling it to little kids at reenactments (Which is to say, I’ve imagined being in reenactments).
Crater Base sounds interesting! Sibling built stories are the best.

@freed_and_redeemed @whalekeeper
I wrote a happy scene and a rather sad scene. However, the happy scene would makes very little sense to anyone reading the story, so I’m sharing the sad one. XD

@whalekeeper @freed_and_redeemed
I’ll take care of my 20 snowballs later, but I think I can get y’all’s two dusted off.
That is, if you want some backstory set up for our serial story that’s currently on pause. 🙂

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllll…. XD
There was this truce thing going on.
I still have 10 snowballs available. I am saving them for instant defense against an attack.

Oh! I like them. The first is very lonesome/dreamy, and the second does well painting its picture.

Hmmmmm.
Ok. I’m seeing a child soldier type. He’s got a past and he doesn’t care what he does because he doesn’t want to care. Yet he also feels he still has something to accomplish. He could be redeemable, or he could be an incredible thorn in the MC’s side. As for who he is… I don’t know. I think he was once connected to…[Read more]

Thank you! It’s for my new WIP. (Which you probably already know. XD)
I like yours. His character is always interesting to see illustrated visually. The contrast of tender love for his children and the dark realities of his past right next to each other is incredible. ❤️ And the quites add hope. ☺️

That’s… Really bittersweet. It feels very much like it’s inside a person’s head. As the child who grew up going to nursing homes, I like it. The end makes it sweet.

Jaybird replied to the topic Do you celebrate Christmas? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 1 year, 8 months ago
I do. I also have friends who do not. One family I know celebrate a Christian version of Hanukkah instead, which is essentially celebrating how Jesus brought light into the world. The other doesn’t observe anything that could be confused with Winter Solstice and Yule. For me, I agree with @power . The holiday is what you make it.

That’s perfect. Making up stories for things can be really handy though.

We’re lower of the middle class, so my second best dress is a little…[Read more]

@liberty lol. I have 52 snowballs as of the last count.

@ellette-giselle Glad you liked it! This is probably the closest thing to a romance plot that I’ve written. (Instead of it being a small side plot.)

OK. There won’t be as many more scenes from this story that I’ll share, but here you go. Its 95o words should render me free from all residual snowball debts I owe.
