What are your thoughts on catholic reconciliation? (For those who don’t know, reconciliation is where catholics go (supposed to be at least every month) to confess their sins. And then they are forgiven for them.) And what questions do you have. (That definition is the most simple version, there is more to it.)

I don’t think i…[Read more]

I also thought unions burning peoples eyes was a myth until my friend and I were cooking stir fry and she started tearing up really bad while cutting them. 🤣

It’s hard to cook when you anthropomorphize your vegetables.

Announcing the winners!!!!

First, like the previous judges, I will go over each story.

Shadow:

What a short, sweet story! You are sucked right into a conflict,…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Thanks!

wait… your hand cramps from writing? Mine never did that. I thought it was a myth.

I have a bad habit of gripping and pressing on things to far. Since I’ve done so much drawing, and have trained myself to do lighter strokes there, it’s not an issue, but I need to train myself to do it with writing as well.

@ellette-giselle

Hmm… That is a good point about Elsa’s powers. As far as we can tell once she learns to control her powers, she just seems to will things to happen.

I think I do want to stick with the idea for Alan having visions of magic capturing him. I think this adds a thematic element that will make Alan’s struggle more real without…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @theducktator @ellette-giselle

My progress today. I wrote down on sticky notes everything I knew so far about the plot.

Pink notes are what I already had planned from Alan’s perspective when I started this. Green is Martha’s Perspective. The blue and yellow at the top are some alternative ideas I had for the beginning. All the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Yes, I have seen Frozen, and I think I know what you are getting at. Elsa, like Alan, worries about her powers and hurting others with them but needs to learn not to push others away. If you go back to when you were asking us which characters are like our own, Whaley, you will notice Elsa was one of the characters…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I had a feeling I needed to hear this. Thank you for the advice, I really do need to listen to it. I’m a bit of a perfectionist so it’s going to be hard to post stuff as it is, but thank you again.

@ellette-giselle

Linus is 💯 correct. Plus, the more you pause the more you lose your flow. For me, I turn off autocorrect and gra…

My brother loses his steam over many inconsequential details.

Me: 🎵 It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem smaaaaaalll 🎵

@ellette-giselle

have you ever seen Frozen?

✨ Let it gooOooOoOOoooOo  ✨ *Throws back my hair dramatically* I sing that song whenever my siblings are unnecessarily argumentative.

@ellette-giselle

Awesome, good to know. I think I do mention very vaguely later that they won the game, but you’re right, I don’t think any reader will make the connection.

So, that was my bad 😅 You’ve read all the chapters I’ve posted. For some reason, my brain didn’t make the connection that you had read them all because I read this:

@ellette-giselle

IS THAT ALAN ABD MARTHA!!?!? *excited dance* 

Maybe…

I was hoping to have that finished by Valentine’s day, but have fallen behind a bit. Hopefully, by next week it will be done.

@whalekeeper

Love how you always have illustrations on hand, by the way. XD

Thank you! I like illustrations. This story started out as illustrations…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I doubt I’m any help right now.

No worries. I usually write without outlining as well. I’m just trying to speed up my writing and thought I would give outlining a try to see if it would help me out.

@theducktator

My “outlining” consists of writing random notes all over the margins of my paper as I write and forgetting about them.…

And I think I’ll do another for R&L. However, I can’t figure out how to do the accent mark on this computer, so his name will have to be plain. Poor fellow.

His mustang would be out of the shop that evening. Reuven sighed and clipped his duffle closed. Having work in…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yay!!

I found a round about way to get access!! (Don’t ask)

Should I be concerned? lol 🤪

Everette (I think) asks if Sara knows who Jesus was. Now, unless you have a very different theology than I do, I believe it’s who Jesus “is” not “was”.

Good point—I’ll have to change that.

Also, unless I missed something, the last we had wit…

@keilah-h

Thanks, lollll

(I just realized I try to match the other person’s tone, that person being you)

@ellette-giselle

oh my word!! It’s so accurate tho!! That is a total Leo expression! And Rory is… yeah, being Rory. 😂

😁 Hehehe, I’m glad it has the right feeling, even if it’s cartoony. I felt like it was right to add Leo because he’s pla…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @koshka

I didn’t draw your characters very accurately. (They are both supposed to be older, Leo probably doesn’t have goggles.) But I remember reading a section of the roleplay and having a specific image in my head, so I drew it, and here it is. Rory stands, Leo is on the stool.

@whalekeeper @theducktator @ellette-giselle

Just an update for you all so you know I’m still working on this.

I’m currently trying to explore further for my outline and have switched to paper. Right now I’m trying to get everything I know about the story onto paper. I’ve started and stopped this a few times now, but feel I have fallen into a…[Read more]
