@everyone

Guys…

we just found out that my mom isn’t going to get better.

The only hope of a cure didn’t work, and her cancer is too crazy, and too fast moving. The doctors can’t do anything else.

She’s home right now but it’s so heart breaking. She is so weak, she doesn’t even look like my mom anymore. She can barely walk; she needs a walker…[Read more]

@rae

I’m glad you’re doing all right and were able to get a diagnosis! I’ll keep praying!

@liberty

That is so cool, though! I’m already at

KDWC this month, so I’ll have to check it out next year.

@liberty

Sounds awesome!! Does it go any other months of the year, or is it just November?

@janellebelovedpig

Here’s an example of the blog I built on Wix a while ago, if you want to look at it. It appears to have no ads currently 🤷‍♀️

@janellebelovedpig

I can’t say for sure that there’s no ads, but I believe Wix and Blogger are both good options too!

@savannah_grace2009

Sounds realistic to me! I just read the Wilderking trilogy which has a very similar plot that you might want to take ideas from and see how it’s executed. It’s a common plot though, I’m sure it (or some variation of it) is in many books, and it’s a great way to build tension.

@rae

Yay!!

@whalekeeper

Oh, hah, I thought you were talking about during tonight’s sprint. Yeah, writing sessions would be fun!

@whalekeeper

I can send y’all an email to connect the emails if you guys don’t have them already! We usually just use Google Meet, create a meeting, and then send the link out through email.

@linus-smallprint

Sorry this took so long, but that screenshot looks great!

@the-lost-journal I’m praying! Whaley had good advice. Please talk to your parents about it, and know that it’s not your fault that this happened. I’m sorry. ❤️

@linus-smallprint @highscribeofaetherium @keilah-h @ellette-giselle @loopylin

Alright, that sounds good! If needed, I can probably try to set up a Slack group, but since that won’t work for some people it might be better just to use email (as a last resort if the website actually goes down) until we figure out if we’re building a new web…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint @theducktator @keilah-h

It looks like our best option would be either Slack or creating a new website, I think. We can always switch around depending on what works and what doesn’t.

Sounds like a sweet dynamic! This helpful bit from an article came to mind: siblings more than five years apart are more like only children than the typical oldest, youngest, and middle stereotypes. The article phrased it as the birth order “resetting” every five years. Of course, the oldest child will still have to share things, and…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint @whalekeeper

It has been really buggy lately… I could barely sign in the last few days.

Linus, do you still think creating a website is the best option, considering other applications like Slack and Discord? (I’m sorry, I can’t remember what we decided about that.)

@liberty

That’s exciting! I’ll have to check her books out!

@whalekeeper

Honestly, I just love them all. 😂 I’m sorry, I know that’s not really helpful.

If you want to share more about the characters, maybe we could try to throw out some more specific ideas?

@ellette-giselle

WHOOOHOO!!! Congrats!!

The ending was so sweet!! 😂 I wasn’t expecting that time jump, but it was fun to see afterward. And the drawing scene… so cute 🥺☺️. I love that he’s teaching it now, even if he can’t do it.

And oh my goodness. Jason and Evan were hilarious in the epilogue. 😂😂😂

I did notice that the very last scene y…[Read more]
