You’ve already got some wonderful stuff, but I’ll throw some more in because I too have free will.

Tsar Peter the great tried to run away from his kingdom but didn’t make it onto the ship he was stowaying on because he was too tall to go unnoticed and was recognized.

There’s a Scottish noble family that according to legend has…[Read more]

Currently Communication Sciences and Disorders. It’s a lot of fun, if a lot of work.

*Currently fighting a headache that was probably due to stress over an exam this morning*

Great!

I understand. What are you guys studying in college?

@keilah-h

Totally understandable. I’m planning to join CWW next year too, so I’ll look forward to you being on there too!

YAY! I’ll look for you on there when it starts!

Is anyone…[Read more]

Ari

He forced himself to refocus on Moth. He doesn’t want to hurt the target. That might be part of the problem.

“I wouldn’t like to meet a living hay bale. What if you imagine the arrow is a message to the center of the target, and you need to sent it there.”

Ellis….XD

Ari

“Yes.” Ari’s eyes brightened at Ellis’s suggestion. He nodded slowly. “More violent than flowers, certainly. I wonder…violence…would likely not be as pleasant for the arrows. Or whatever they hit.”

I’ve been a bit swamped as well, so your timing is great. XD

Ari

That was… unexpected. He lowered his bow.

“Did you intend for that to happen?”

The thing–flower?–was pretty. Ari walked over to it, heedless of other arrows as he was most safety precautions. He crouched beside the thing but didn’t pick it up. Even in…[Read more]

Hiiiiii!! It’s been a while, haha! How are you??

I’ve published Leon/Riker’s 1st and 2nd books within the past two years haha, and a lot of changes and things so I’ve been super busy.

Oh he is undeniably dangerous/terrifying. Definitely a creep and tends to be one step ahead.

He looks terrifying!

*Points at @elishavet-pidyon *

But she goes by a different name.

Hey, shooting stuff is fun.

Just going to pull from my own very limited experience with archery. If someone else has expertise you might need to help. XD

Ari

He hadn’t meant for either of the boys to actually start shooting yet, but Ellis had certainly some idea of what to do, though he used a draw Ari had never tried.…[Read more]

I’ve been trying to improve my art so I can draw my fantasy characters (I at least need some character art for marketing on social media) and it’s…a process😅😂

I’m interested to see him now. Who is he? What connection does he have to our characters? Why is he so evil?

Meet Sergei Mikhaylov, Soviet Officer (haven’t decided if he’s Stasi or KGB (I think they were operating then??) yet) and former Soviet Soldier during WW2. I’m not completely sure about his background yet but I know he a…[Read more]

*Screams*!!!!!

I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! This is going to be so cool! I have waited so long for this!!!

Ahh yesss, I am so excited. There are so many things in Book 3 I’m looking forward to and UGHHH I can’t wait.

I wrote one of those types a little while ago. The nicknames and insults thrown at him were glorious! 😂

No one h…[Read more]

Ari

He nodded and picked up the rod.

“Arm.” Ari quickly measured Ellis’s draw length and went back to the rack of bows. A slightly longer recurve would do.

“Here. This one’s about fifteen pounds too. I don’t want you two shooting me with a bow you can’t control. If you’re going to shoot someone it had better be on…[Read more]

And I just asked Ellis a question. XD

He can answer or not or just shrug.

*Ahem*

@loppylin @whalekeeper

I love the cat. Such attitude, such floof.

Ari

Rythmic thuds of broadheads into targets pulsed as a heartbeat. Only a handful of students were practicing, their vows a range from graceful limbed recurves to longbows as tall as their archers. High windows some fifteen feet up the outer wall let in…[Read more]

Is that different? And I think so…

Colleges focus on undergraduate degrees (Associates and sometimes Bachelor) and certificates. Universities typically offer all of those plus Graduate degrees (Masters and PH.Ds).

College are smaller, so smaller class sizes (20 to 30 student), more personalized attention, a tighter-knit e…[Read more]

*Gasp*

I have fans! I have fans that will stalk me!!! Must hire an entourage of security guards!!!! Must buy a purple sequin suit!!!!!

👮😎👮

They have a 20% acceptance rate though.😭😭😭

I may end up taking a gap year and doing the same so I can earn some money and also more credits to hopefully increase my chances at a scholarship.

It sounds like you are going to a university?

Something you may want to consider, check and see if there are any community colleges around you.…[Read more]

I work at (and am writing this from) the front desk of a college’s registrar’s office (The unofficial helpdesk of the college). What Elishavet and Koshka is pretty dead on.

I will add first of all that. . . it’s rather confusing. 🤣

We (College Admission and Registrar folks) expect students to know very little about the process…[Read more]

You haven’t gone to college, have you?

I’m left out! *sulks*

Tagging some old people

Oh my gracious. XD

What Elishavet said and also:

From the perspective of someone who’s both attended college, is attending college, and has worked in college admissions offices…Remember, colleges want students. Colleges need students. They will be looking for reasons to make you pick them, not reasons to…[Read more]

but also working on Leon and Riker’s 3rd book🤭🤫

Annnnddddd I disappeared again😂🤪

I am doing well. Tired, working a ton, squeezing writing in where and when I can. I’m bouncing between projects, with writing my Fantasy Series… (that I don’t quite know how to describe without spoilers atm bc a lot of things have changed since I’ve last…[Read more]

I pronounced that Moth-er and that is somehow quite fitting.

Ari

The tension in his shoulders eased slightly. He nodded and pushed away from the table.

“Come on then.”

Students still meandered around the courtyard. Clumps of them stood followed various instructors like swarms of bees. Ari headed straight for the…[Read more]

I tried typing Moth and it autocorrected to Mother and I almost started laughing very loudly to myself in public

*Snort laughs in a very public but very empty hallway*

Ari

He slowly nodded. Linguistics wasn’t for another three hours–not till after lunch, and of course Choir this evening. The school had tried to saddle him…[Read more]

I like Lucian.

I honestly don’t know who would

Ari

He looked back at moth, curious, but let that remark pass. Could whistling be heard in the void?

“What were you two up to before you decided to come and ruin my swords practice?” Not that he liked swords. The interruption was almost welcome…but he’d definitely not say that outloud.

Thank you Whaley, I am now concerned for Ellis and Lucien.

Ari

“I don’t know. What makes you think they would?” Frustration boiled up, clenching his nails into his skin as Moth continued to stare at him. “They’re my half-brothers. Some fighting is normal, but inheritence isn’t determined by a few scuffles. Maybe they…[Read more]

Moth: *Wants to protect Ari*

Ari: *Is practically twice his height, and is older and tougher*

XD

He needs it, Moth. He needs it.

Ari

In competition? That seemed to light a word.

“Me? No.” He looked down as he pulled off the padded sparring gloves. “My father has four sons older than my brother and me. And besides, what with his brothers gone, there’s plenty of land and titles to go round.”

Don’t be an idiot. He slapped the gloves against the…[Read more]

Ari

His attention snapped back to Moth.

“Just…wondering. Family traits tend to run strong with us.” Black hair, dark eyes, murder. Yes, family traits.

Ari

Moth would be keeping watch as well. But what exactly did a fairy mean by watching?

It didn’t make much of a difference. Ari pushed away from the table.

“If you like. I was going to head to the archery targets once I was done here…” His voice trailed off as his gaze turned to wards where Jasper was still gadding…[Read more]

Ari

He nodded. He wasn’t sure what a mood was or why it would be damapened, but he had heard about visions. Just none within the last two centuries.

Brother’s or no, tonight was going to be an… adventure. If this kid was telling the truth.

“Good, good.” His spreading smile kindled the light in his eyes. “Finally…[Read more]

Sure, he needed it to live and all, yet he could not have himself loudly beeping around medieval royalty.

BRYCE NO. What are you doing??? XD

Joshua, Everett, and Raynen all sound cool (my phone tried to “correct” Raynen into ramen…*dies*). As a short slightly chaotic individual myself, I kind of lean towards Raynen, but toss…[Read more]

O_O

Ari

He absently ran the end of his tongue over the seaping cut in his lip.

“Thoughtful of you to tell me.” This could be interesting. “You saw this? Where, and what exactly did you see?”

His bedchamber. Well, perhaps he might just have to stage an ambush of his own. Anticipation pooled in his stomach.

Who would try…[Read more]
