Ah, right! I forgot about the 12 days of Christmas.

I’m glad to hear that you had an enjoyable time with your family!

Christmas for my family was a blast! My siblings and I did Secret Santa (or Secret Sibling as we call it) and that was so much fun! It was even more of a blessing giving our parents gifts.

It was a very grand time!

@jannellebelovedpig

I’m doing Crazy Writing Week! Never done it before and I don’t know what to expect, but hey! there’s a first time for everything.

I LOVE HUGS. I want a hug too, please.

@raxforge

Cool!! 😄 Are you a white belt too? How long have you been training?

@esther-c @theducktator

Let me guess…KotLC? 👀

Keeper of the Lost Cities?

…You caught me. XD Yes, KotLC. I am on book eight, and very happy to see Sophie and Fitz at least partially together now. I know it isn’t going to last very long because the story is going to switch favor to Keefe, but I got a break from the romance plot and it felt like s…[Read more]

@esther-c

I’m also tired of the “oh no it’s cold we’d better snuggle together for warmth” trope. Dress for the weather!

@whalekeeper

or example, in the series I’m reading, seven books have passed and the heroine has finally realized her crush likes her back. The hints were agonizingly obvious. He was giving you gifts, girl. He initiated a unique telepathic connection with you. His friends have openly joked about your feelings for each other.

Keeper of the Lost Cities?

@esther-c

I’m pretty sure I have more, but here’s nine.

1. NO. MATURE. RELATIONSHIPS. BETWEEN. CHILDREN. I have read about 2 books ever that had elementry/middle school relationships well written. I don’t care if in real life 12 year olds date. I don’t want to read about it.
2. Love at first sight. It’s not love, it’s just attraction.
3. Why are…

@elishavet-pidyon

Refugee Rangers/ is an intriguing name. I’m curious. XD

I probably won’t end up calling it that…it’s just a temporary title, as “refugee rangers” is a big part of the story! It’s my newest story idea and one of the best!!!!!!! Lord willing, I am seriously planning on writing and publishing it.

If you would like to know mo…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Thanks for letting me know! It looks like an amazing writer’s film!

@ellette-giselle

I hope being signed up two times isn’t a problem.

I’ve done that before for other things. It shouldn’t be a problem.

@koshka   @whalekeeper

Aannnddd I’m left in the dust. What is it with you night owls?

oh boy, you mention “doctor” and Rory’ll flip out bad.

You don’t want to see that.

Rory

When Barnes actually took off her mask, Rory started in surprise a little. He had been preparing to surprise her and somehow get it off. He needed to see the face b…[Read more]

@esther-c

I agree with @koshka and @elishavet-pidyon

I would also add,

1. A lot of physical contact before marriage

2. Only being able to have a relationship when alone. I prefer that one of the first times this couple is alone is when he asks her to marry him. Show them getting to know each others families, hanging out at church, spending…[Read more]

@liberty

Yes, and the weird thing is I got two emails at once both saying the same thing. It’s like my last registration actually went through….. I hope being signed up two times isn’t a problem.

Just moving my folks. We watched a documentary on Europe and now I need to cope. XD

Liora (street crossing near the school)

Evening was coming and with it an abundance of artificial starlight. Liora followed Reúven into a circle of yellow streetlight comfort. There was a patch of grass beside the light and she could hear crickets starting up a…[Read more]

Barnes

This information had only been guesswork up until this point. Now, Barnes could remember Rory’s file. It had been newer than the others, and very scarce of words.

“Is there a way of convincing them Rory isn’t worth the risk? To them, not us,” she added.

@esther-c

Livia

“Livia, are you okay?”

She blinked hard, still refusing to make eye contact.

She formed the moisture into the form of a horse, letting it gallop around on her palm.

She missed Xandro. 

She let the water fall off her hand and into the churning waters below.

Finally, she let out a shuddering sigh, and turned to face…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Unfortunately, I just realized I’m supposed to be starting homework for the first week of CC, and we were assigned to read 100 pages of history over the break . . . which I haven’t started yet because I didn’t know about it until yesterday 😩

Same thing here. XD I’ve been reading a ton of history and Greek literature so I have enoug…[Read more]
