It’s hard for me to answer this because it kind of was a slap, but it also feels like the right way to end it. It made sense and concluded his arc. Like Whaley said, we were never promised he would live nor did his arc hinge on it. I’d file this under “books whose endings I will complain angrily about to my siblings but still…[Read more]

yeah ok I get that. There’s different kinds of tragedy, and it’s interesting how every country does it differently as well as every religion. Yeah I like those bittersweet endings too, I think they are more common in western stuff, possibly because of Christian influence!
Chinese and Japanese tragedies don’t usually end on the…[Read more]

Girl, Ellette writes some of the most tragic characters. She and Freedom make it their business to make KP cry, I swear.
Also, thank you. The hair took me forever.

“A wheelchair.”
He pointed with his free hand. There was one parked next to side entrance of the building. “You do know what those are, right?”

@mineralizedwritings @ellette-giselle
So, first, Min, thank you so much for the advice! It was genuinely the most helpful advice I got (I posted on reddit and Unvale and I didn’t get anything).
Second,
AH! Don’t touch it! Okay….. maybe a little, but leave the eyes and expression and hair. It’s perfect!!!
The expression is still there, but it ha…[Read more]

Sadly I did not do my pfp lol, I think it’s official art from Link Click, it’s a Chinese donghua I really like. Idk If I’d recommend it here it’s pretty tragic. The art is great though!

XD But actually, in my memory (until you just recapped it) he was going to turn himself in and then they were attacked and he was killed protecting Jenna (?) and her family. I like that ending because Baron gave his life for someone instead of taking life…. but then that is also cliche for a redemption story (and cliche is not a…

@ellette-giselle lol it’s not like I’ve ever done that in books so I’m not offended. I’ve just seen it happen.
tbh it is aggravating but it’s not as annoying as some other stuff people do in books so it’s pretty low on my list of Things I Hate In Books.

(though the wild one is more Baron-sih to my mind. XD)
Same. Don’t worry, he will keep his ruffled, unruly hair for most of the book. This drawing was supposed to be from his time with Jenna.
It does kinda hover in the area where you know who it is, but it doesn’t exactly look like him because of the hair XD
Thank you!

Dante
“I’m not a soldier.” He almost asked if they were taking the bus again, but he decided to shut his mouth before Rory decided to drop him on the sidewalk. He stayed silent and tried his best to be patient and trusting. Doing so felt almost as painful as his stab wound.

@ellette-giselle This is random, but I just had someone call Baron a babygirl.
Which apparently in this context “refers to a man who is both attractive and charmingly sensitive (or brooding/self-possessed/quirky) as opposed to stereotypically macho.” (Merriam Webster)
I just thought it was kinda funny, lol.-
Okay…… 🤣
That’s kind of funny, actually. Though I’d prob. not like it if my character was called that. Not very flattering name. 😂Btw, how is all that going? Did you find someone to publish it?
-
I was very confuzzled when they said that. I personally won’t be adding it to my vocabulary but I found it interesting.
I still plan to go with Wild Horse Publishing, if you’ll still have me, however the current thing holding me back is money. I do not have enough saved, and I don’t have a job yet due to health issues.
As soon as I get a job…[Read more]-
Oh yes of course we will! Okay yeah, did I give you a price quote yet? Take your time. However long you need is fine.
-
No, you haven’t given me a price quote, but from what I’ve seen online, it can take up to $2000 to $4000 to publish. I was planning on saving $2000 but I only have $700 right now. Maybe a little more after winter because I do get snow money and I have a few relatives who always send Christmas money because they live too far away to see us, but at…[Read more]

Well, I can tell you right off the bat that it will not be that much to work with us. If you give me a page number then I can give you an estimated quote on what you need to have in hand before we can start.

Woah, that was not the numbers I was expecting.
So, I have the money I guess (the sad thing is it looks like I’ve had enough for months and didn’t know it).
Thank you so much!
About illustrations, I’ll probably do those myself to save on money and capture my vision.
For an editor, I know that I need one of those lol so I’ll get into that.-
I would have been sad if you didn’t want to do the illustrations! It just wouldn’t have been the same! ☺️
well, i think the time of stepping back will actually help you refine it, so maybe it’s a good thing! We have a few editors working for us, or if you know of someone else, feel free to chose them as well. Here are our editors, but don’t feel…[Read more]

loll this is so funny to me, I’m active in a lot of online fandoms so I hear this term all the time 😂 it’s usually used for well loved characters or people so please consider it highest compliments
-
LOL.
-
-
Bro what—
Oh I would hate it if someone called my characters that lol(Given that most of my charries are from fanfics, there’s a very high chance someone already has.)
-
Lol. I don’t like the term itself, but I find it flattering that someone used a term that meant that about my character because it shows affection.
-
-
That seems like a pretty broad category to be fair, lol, unless the character has to be obviously sweet/sensitive/vulnerable in order to qualify. But that’s still funny.
-
Oh no…
I just realized Hugo is textbook “babygirl”
I am ruined-
Lol, he is totally.
-
If his girlfriend called him babygirl, he’d probably just shrug it off. That’s how textbook perfect he is for this term. I’m not sure whether to be fine or not fine with this.

“Ow. This is humiliating,” Dante grumbled. “Walk faster.”
A nurse rounded the corner behind them, then froze when he saw them. Dante waved nervously.
“Go fasterrr,” he whispered to Rory.
“Hey!” The nurse finally found his voice. “What are you doing?”
Rory sped up, and they turned a corner into a new hallway. There was…[Read more]

Dante stared at him. “…I would rather get stabbed again.”
