@ellette-giselle I’m honestly glad you didn’t kill them straight off. Slavery is a cruel fate for them, but this is really interesting–and different from the other books. I also like the “change in scenery” and would love a map of the new countries on this side of the sea.

I like the new characters, too.

funny thing that happened between me and my brother earlier:

So, if anyone doesn’t know, I have this picture of Sniper as my computer background.

So I was loading up my computer for my math program and my brother came into my room just as I was doing that, and here’s the exchange that resulted:

Ethan: oh look the homeless guy…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @raxforge

He’s used to fighting people who are still alive. XD

Are all members of the species that way or is that one mutated or something?

@loopylin I think I’ve seen something like that double dragon before! It was on a worldbuilding forum, asking if such a thing was plausible–how it would eat, breathe, etc.

@the_lost-journal

*GASPIEST GASP OF ALL GASPS* A miracle! Well actually, erm, I used my hot chocolate levitation powers, of course… The hot chocolate levitation powers which I totally have…

@hybridlore

Yeah. That’ll do it.

@ellette-giselle

I knoww. It does seem to work with his backstory, though. Poor guy. Ten years in slavery…

@hybridlore

Hmm. Interesting.

Yes, he does have a funny personality. He’s slightly messed up tho. Like, weirdly morbid and also cheerful in a odd mix.

@ellette-giselle

I like him! He has a funny personality. I think he might become a Christian eventually.

@the_lost-journal

MWAHAHA- wait, y- you… threw the hot chocolate? GASP! What a tragedy. A cup of hot chocolate has died this day, died at the hands of the one whom they call potato reporter!

This interaction:

“What the avocado, why does the queen of ducks hate me so much?!” – Piper

“Hm… wonder why.” – Palmer

@hybridlore

Haha! Yes, Ian is going to be trouble. In fact, he’s going to _______________

What do you think of Albee? (btw, I love that I gave him a big long name. 😂 It’s just so funny to me, because it totally doesn’t fit him.)

@the_lost-journal

Yeah, Piper, I wOnDeR wHy.

*parachuting ducks begin to descend with emotional support teddy bears*

@ellette-giselle

Great section!! It seemed pretty realistic. Oof, Ian’s going to be trouble 😬

I can’t wait for the next one!

@theshadow

*subscribes* I’m plotting a contemporary romance series, but I haven’t actually written any yet. Will your books be middle grade or YA? I would say have at least one continuing conflict through the series like how in The Penderwicks on Gardam Street, (my favorite), they have the Save Daddy Plan, or in the 1st  Vanderbeekers book…[Read more]

BACKWARDS. MWAHAHAHA. i think… Idk why my first idea was to do that…

@theshadow

I’ve written a handful of contemporary (not finished them though lol), and I’m by no means an expert in this field, but I’d say it really comes down to adding conflict, even if it’s as simple as a strained relationship with a family member. I don’t know your characters, and I’ve also never read The Penderwicks so it’s hard to know h…[Read more]
