(The fact that you kept yourself committed to a whole long chapter book is better than I can do, tbh.)

Ikr!!! XD

@keilah-h @mineralizedwritings @freedomwriter @everyone

Hey guys! How are you all doing?

@thearcaneaxiom

Do you think that the Paynes of the labor camp would use names still, but perhaps only in hushed tones especially around Pythonos?

Yeah I think so.

 An issue that I’m beginning to see now however is that it still feels like there’s no continuity of characters. Who do the readers connect to? Once they get to know one set of char…

@acancello @mineralizedwritings

Yeah I’m good with whatever 🙂

@freedomwriter76

🥰🥰🥰 great job, girl!!

@traiblazer

KP ate my original post where I had put all the ages of the McKinleys and so I had to hurry and redo it. So I must have forgotten to put Esther’s age, but she’s seven like @grcr said.

@trailblazer

They’re both still young though, so any romance between them would have to stay pretty light and not get too serious until they’re a little older. Bennett also is going to the army when he turns 17 or 18, but depending how their relationship would play out, they could write letters to each other and such.

I know you also said Tin…

Sorry guys, I’m super late! Anything important that I missed that I should know before I make my “family”?

@thearcaneaxiom

I have thought about what you said about the problems with Ottoline’s character, and have decided on a few new things about her history. I was thinking that instead of just the “laboratory”, that they take the Paynes to a work camp to build tools and new technology. Then if they become sick, or get out of line, then the Pythonos…[Read more]

Ottoline

She knew that he was waiting for her to tell him her story. They all were. Her first instinct was to shove the memories away. But he had been vulnerable and shared his. And so she began.

Letting go of his hand, just for a moment, she brought her shaking hands…[Read more]

@keilah-h

thanks!

@acancello

Thanks! They are so sweet 😭

@whalekeeper

Tbh a lot of my characters so far have been only children, but I’m planning to maybe start a new WIP about four siblings. 😁

@acancello

Yeah, that was kind of my plan that they could share each other’s stories!

Also, I love their “romance” they’re sooooo cute!!!

HOTTOLINE FOREVER!!!

Ottoline

“It’s going to be okay,” Hugo said, his voice cracking. Ottoline barely even heard him. She could still hear Jraldath’s words echoing in her mind…worthless…stupid….ugly, she could still feel the jarring sensation as she hit the floor. It is not okay, …[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings @acancello @esther-c @freedomwriter76 @trailblazer @grcr

Oh my gosh guys…Ottoline’s story is so sad, reading it literally almost made me cry (and I wrote it)!

@acancello @grcr @mineralizedwritings @esther-c @freedomwriter76 @trailblazer

Ottoline

Tired of the conversation, Ottoline decided to get a breather and sit on the inviting looking gray couch over in the corner. She pondered the past events in her mind. In one day, she had failed to get food, found a mysterious house, met new people, actually…[Read more]

@esther-c

I’ve been learning a lot about Ottoline as well every time I write her POV. I think this is really helpful!
