@ellette-giselle yeah, “girl power” and whatnot is kinda way overblown these days.

Although in the past in many cultures, women were not exactly treated nicely (or sometimes even like people) either, so I think as a society we just kinda vacillate between “too much power” or “too little power” given to them.

not that that’s right, but it’s just…[Read more]

Here is the discussion guide. It’s rought right now. It was inspired by the discussion guides at the end of the second edition books for The Wingfeather Saga. However, I think that’s resulted in it being written for a younger audience than my book is aimed at (I’m…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle lol

I mean, I don’t get the “it’s not Christmasy” thing, If it occurs during Christmas and has themes of Christmas, it is a Christmas movie. I’ve never seen it, but I just looked it up, and if you’re gonna call it “not a Christmas movie” then you might say the same for Home Alone or The Sound of Music, which are also popular…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle I think we’ve all heard you rant about this topic lol

I mean, most of us have female fighter/warrior/soldier/whatever characters for some reason. So we were bound to get the “this is why I don’t quite believe in that” talk (which I don’t think is bad and might actually help us improve our characters)

(another slight…

@ellette-giselle

ooh yeah I saw that! I haven’t actually seen the movie, just the trailer. I watch a lot of anime and I was spotting some old tropes I really hate in the trailer so I didn’t watch it (Women being above average curvy and wearing something tight, while all the men are wearing looser clothes). I’m just nit picky about stuff like…[Read more]

End credits song! (This was the most fitting version of this song I could find. As an aside, if you haven’t, look up the history of this song.)

Happy Boxing Day! (do you celebrate this in the USA?) Let’s box this draft up with the final chapter!

Chapter the 34th – The Choice

There is one more thing I need to write for this that I will do later. A discussion guide for the reader. After that I will have…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle idk who that is but he is prepared lol

@raxforge ohhhhh

sound like it must be a pretty hard game then. Chasing a magic robotic hummingbird on a sugar high.

@ellette-giselle

Looks interesting! I’ll have to see where I can watch it.

I am a LOTR nerd and have all the back stories and sketchbooks and Tolkien notes, etc. So seeing this story done in film and having it true to the book was amazing!!! Peter Jackson just redeemed himself after what he did with LOTR itself in leaving out so many things…

@ellette-giselle I saw that on a poster while we were going to the theater to watch Interstellar for its 10th anniversary. I didn’t pay much attention to it which is why I didn’t realize it was animated!! So cool!

I like how it’s kinda cartoony but not over-anime-styled. I’m not a huge fan of most artists who draw like that, but this is one of…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle hahaa!!!

I’ve grown too attached to my profile pic to change it lol, so you won’t have that problem with me

@ellette-giselle

No? But then, I’ve never been to a theater, and my family doesn’t watch much. It looks interesting.

I did see the first 3 hours of LotR on a longish flight over Thanksgiving. The hobbits were hilarious.

@ellette-giselle

Haven’t seen it, and didn’t have any plans yet. When my brother saw the trailer, he reported the protagonist was a Mary Sue, which turned our family off. But now you’ve peeked my curiosity. I didn’t realize Peter Jackson was directing it.

@stephie

Eek I ranted sorry.

No worries. I rant all the time, just ask @ellette-giselle.

Thank you both for your feedback on the emotional scene. Heh heh. Maybe one day I will learn how to make my characters emotional, but your advice will help me, thanks for it. Where would the both of you say the emotion fell off in the chapter? Was it around…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I’ve never seen it but it looks so cool and that song is beautiful! I’ll have to look into it some more. 🤍

@ellette-giselle

lol 😂🤣

@ellette-giselle

I have a question: is your picture profile from The Winter King? And your banner picture?

@ellette-giselle @stephie @keilah-h @theducktator @loopylin @theshadow @whalekeeper

Next chapter.

Chapter the 33rd – The Father

I’ll see you after Christmas with the final chapter! Merry Christmas to you all!

@theducktator @ellette-giselle @anyone else

Sure! I can share the prompt soon, but have no set deadline until the next year. Give me a bit of time to think about the prompt.

@elishavet-pidyon

Has black curls(cropped short so it’s just very tumbly hair), black/brown eyes, and a lighter olive complexion. Is about average height for a 16 year old and on the thin side.

Ah… handsome boy. Whaley likey. 😏
