@ellette-giselle you’re welcome!!

@ellette-giselle

Good good!! A poignant ending, bittersweet but victorious.

Ah, I still think you could do something even shorter if you didn’t introduce it, but that’s also part of your writing style, I think, so I won’t prod.

@ellette-giselle ohhhhh

that makes sense

also I like the covers for the books!

@ellette-giselle exactly how i like them lol

@theducktator that’s a good plan

@highscribeofaetherium @koshka haha I guess “not eating them” is a color then lol

@ellette-giselle

I’d love feedback on the blurb. I want it to catch your attention, but not give too much away. Here you go.

WOW. Yes, it has totally caught my attention, and I’m hooked! It sounds very interesting. I think you wrote it quite well. It’s not too long and doesn’t give much away, but it offers the readers a huge tasty donut to hook o…[Read more]

My shortest one was 400, and I hardly set the stage

Flash fiction. The strength is in what you don’t say. Don’t worry about setting the stage, introducing characters, or anything like that. Snap a picture of a heart. Let poetry dance with prose.

I’m kinda sorry, but also definitely not. I absolutely love flash fiction, but have b…[Read more]

*Smirks*

*Cough cough*

It’s good practice. Seriously. Like sprinting is good for long distance running. Short distances straining with all you’ve got build strength for the long run.

Have you ever heard of the six word story? I don’t remember who wrote it, but one of his friends challenged him to write the shortest story ever.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I guess I was sort of confused by Joseph’s fears about talking to Ezra, then. He seems to have multiple flashbacks to the soldiers, which is a good way to show how the events have affected him. I was probably confused (I’m assuming now that this scene is replacing the one before where he talks to three young men) about why he was…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle Your new blurb sounds so cool! 😍

Okay…

@ellette-giselle WAMMM *a snowball creams you* (except I want to see flash fiction under 75 words. *Raises eyebrows*)

@hybridlore AhA! Unsuspecting initiator, meet thy own deeds. *Snowball creams you*

@ellette-giselle

I like it a lot! The only things I noticed were that you included the long excerpt from the Bible again… most readers already know the Christmas story so I don’t think you need it in there. Then, also, when Amelia was talking about Mary, some of the tenses seemed wrong. Like, maybe it should be in past tense? Idk. And last thi…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

WOW! You drew the TCMW cover?? That’s amazing! Okay…I’ll respond to the large post you sent in reply to me…but right now I have to go take care of Buddy and start my working day! See you later!

@ellette-giselle

You watch Tintin????!!!! And Liberty’s Kids??

So, the the Crimson Rose about Nazi resistance?

@ellette-giselle

what do you think of the story section? as interesting as Friedrich?

Yes, it is,very interesting! So, is this from your other book? Fateful Night? Reading this reminded me of a story my brother wrote. He wrote about a German boy who hides a Jewish girl.

Wait……. redwall got made into a movie!?

Not a movie, but an episode ser…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

We had been working since sunup and it was close to twelve. Everyone had been in tears once that day, all the packing tape was gone, and dad was like, “Okay, I’m ordering pizza and we’re going to watch the first stupid cartoon I find that is okay toi watch.” (you gotta read up on plugged in about cartoons now days.”

So yeah, we…

@ellette-giselle

Oh, you won’t be getting any more of Friedrich. That book has been published, and I wrote that scene because I was thinking of Friedrich. If you want to read more you have to buy it.

Oh! He is a character from TCWM?

You might get a little of other things though.

Excited. Clearly. Excited.

Um. Yes I would. That’s what I’m doing…

@loopylin

Okay…I’ve been hit…fair and square.

Buddy stood before the mirror, rearranging his blue bow for the hundredth time. He nervously fumbled with the silk around his neck, nearly knocking off the cup that dangerously sat at the desk’s edge. The captain suddenly stopped and stared at his reflection.

“Calm down, Buddy.” He smoth…

@ellette-giselle

We need a “pin post” option.

@ellette-giselle Haha I use my phone a good amount of the time. 🤪 It does take some getting used to.

Lolol, that should be the official video of the forum. 😆

@ellette-giselle

Is it bad that this scene came to mind and I smiled with evil glee?

Evil glee?😄 YES…it is bad… (I’ve heard of this film and now after watching this clip…*cringe* I don’t think I ever want to see it!)

Seriously, though…you wouldn’t do that…right? (I mean, running into stranger’s homes?)

I am definitely smacking you with…[Read more]
