@ellette-giselle Why would someone do such a thing??? Chop off a kid’s hand just cause they’re left-handed?

@linus-smallprint I know, right? Society goes on and on about “inclusion” nonsense, and all the while ignore the people who really should be included.

In video games, especially first-person ones such as shooters or Minecraft-type, I can kinda understand because most people are right-handed and thus game makers design their characters to be…[Read more]

Nope. You did tag me. The notification just got lost and never made it to my inbox somehow.

Here is something from a document I found helpful for coming up with blurbs.

Five-Sentence Story

 

1.      The balance: the normal world. What is normal? Who is our hero? What does he normally do? Suzy walks down the street with her dog.

2.     The unbalance: something happens that upsets the normal world. It must be an event…

Okay, I did not end up going today.

OH MY GOODNESS!! I love the picture! I think that’s your best one yet!!! – Ellette

wow great picture!!! – Keilah

Thanks! That is my most recent TNPT drawing.

Oh goodness. I dislike germaphobic guys. 😛

Ooh, Friedrich sounds good. Also congrats on winning!

@ellette-giselle

Picture of Eric added. Fun fact: All of my characters are me in some way, but Eric is probably the most similar to me personality-wise (Which is not entirely a good thing). He also is the character that looks the most like me.

@ellette-giselle

Hmm, is procrastination a character trait? If I’m reading the above right it is. Since that is so, Alan (and maybe Martha) can get a little annoyed at the fact that he’s not taking this whole thing seriously.

Yup, I don’t think determined and heroic Alan is going to like Eric much at first.

How old is he? I’m picturing someo…

@ellette-giselle

Is it? That one ALWAYS gets me. I can never figure out a way to remember which is which. grrr. Grammar is gonna kill me. Btw, I can’t get over the fact that we keep correcting each others grammar. lol 

That’s the whole point of getting others to read it. Sometimes someone else can see your grammatical errors better than you ca…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Okay. The problem I am having is that I am introducing a character who is supposed to be laid back, indecisive, and put things off (he is Martha’s brother, Eric). However, since he is supposed to lead Alan to his father, he comes across as more decisive than he really is, and sure, he might be more decisive at times, but it gives…[Read more]

This week is a little busier for me. I still have time to write, but chapters may arrive a little later than expected. My church does a camp for families this week and I may be going out there for a couple of days. Also, I am a little stuck right now, trying to figure out how to introduce…[Read more]

One evening, Aaron was sitting by the fire with his Bible open on his knees. He had turned to the psalms once again, and he had his journal ready at his side. This passed month he had taken to turning the psalms into his own prayers, and he was beginning to feel peace. The answers were there, before him. All he had to do was trust…

@ellette-giselle

Okay, I finally got around to listening to the playlist, and it was really good!!

@ellette-giselle

This is a good question, and there have been a lot of good answers already. I would think Aaron might try to be strong for others, but when he’s alone he would let his emotions come and mourn for his friend privately. Maybe if someone mentions it he could show signs of what he’s truly feeling. Sorry this is late

@linus-smallprint @ellette-giselle

I’m kind of bored and I just wanted to pop in on this conversation cuz I find it really interesting!

If my brother were to accuse me of not caring (which might actually happen), I would get even more frustrated because I would want to care more, but find myself unable to.

YES THIS IS SO ME! I mean I’d definitely…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Wow, it sounds like you’ve got an awesome family!

Sorry if I was projecting a bit. Despite my family being Christian, they can be really critical. Kinda like what Whaley mentioned above, over preferences for the most part. People who have it like me have to band together and support each other, so whenever I see somebody saying…[Read more]

“I was there, Noah.”

“You were where?”

Aaron clenched his fists tightly. “I was there when he died.”

Noah turned to face him. “Wait, when who died?”

“Turin.”

There was a long silence, and then Aaron pressed on. “I watched him die, Noah. I knelt by his side and I couldn’t do anything as he bled to death in the street.”

“Why d…

Your tag not working.

@ellette-giselle
I promise both of you that I do not agree with the “kids always know better” thing either. I have been annoyed a bit that my book is this way, with characters who either disagree with their parents (like Martha and Tyn), or are separated from their parents (like Alan and Oliver). One day, I’ll try…[Read more]
