I agree with you. Instead of writing bad language, I sometimes make up my own expressions to use in my stories. One of my characters says “Great Goliath!” sometimes. 😀

In the movie Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail (I only saw part of it. It’s pretty violent) there’s a part where Indie takes Jesus’ name in vain. I was shocked and felt…[Read more]

@koshka

Oh yes! (My twin loves doing it to me, whether by pointing out something in Crylic, or nonchalantly handing me something that has it) I get so happy…I’m literally smiling just thinking about it. It’s like getting a secret message that only I understand, or finding the door to some other world.

Yes! Exactly! <3 <3

@koshka

Ах! Сестра, you don’t know how happy you made me, seeing Cyrillic in a conversation. Or rather you probably do, you being a language learner yourself… *Happy sigh*

Do you get this thrill when you hear/see the language your learning? It makes me so excited. 😊

I shall definitely have to check her out. Most of what I know of what’s goin…

@lightoverdarkness6

Ok! Oh fun! Enjoy the nutcracker play!!!!

Oh, good tips(ideas! Thank you! I only saw a few things, bc I’m brushing my little brother’s teeth for bed 😂. I’m I’ll finish reading it tomorrow 😊. Thank you again!!

Your welcome! Glad to do it. Oh sweet!! My little brother just turned 14. 🙁  I can’t imagine him letting me brush hi…[Read more]

I think I’ve heard of that one. It sounds good! My favorite is Burn the Ships or Fight on Fighter. 😊

Oh those two are good! My sister and I made up a rendition of Fight on Fighter that went:

“Write on, writer…etc. ”

We weren’t sure if it would make sense with the rest of the lyrics, but I sing it sometimes anyway. :…[Read more]

@koshka

My own research? Who, me? *Dramatically points to myself*

Yes you, дорогой друг! 😀

Hehehe…I’m supposed to be writing fantasy…they said I didn’t need a lot of real life knowledge… *Hides stack of books behind my back*

*Laughs smugly* well since you’re just writing fantasy, and don’t have ANY research to do, you have LOTS of time to rese…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6

Yes! I think that may be a 4King and Country song!! I LOVE 4King and Country! What’s your favorite song from them??

My favorite song is Cheering You On. What about you?

@godlyfantasy12 @lightoverdarkness

Thanks so much for the suggestions! So here’s what I’ve decided to do:

Russian soldier invade a large city close to them. At first there isn’t much change in their smaller town, but after a few days they start to see the effects (propaganda on the news, no Ukrainian news agencies being targeted and not allowed…[Read more]

@koshka

Hmm…I think I’d have them escape a few days after Russia invades, that way you can show a glimpse of what it’s like, but not take it too far or make it too long.

Ok yeah I’ll stick with that. 😀 Thanks!!

Reliable info on Russia in modern day is a little difficult to find, and unbiased info is practically impossible. If you need help with…

Here are some themes for my characters:

Ludwika: coming of age, taking responsibility for your actions, submitting to the authority in your life (her dad), learning who God is.

Nataliya: dealing with fear and grief, learning determination and loyalty.

Piotr: overcoming set backs in a mature way, (not acting out to get attention),…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6

I love that! So beautiful. Don’t give up!! We can do it 😊😊!

Yes, we can! “Never ever, ever, ever, ever give up. Never ever, ever give up, no.” Those lyrics just came into my head!! I think their from a 4King and Country song that my sister listens to. 😀

@godlyfantasy12

*claps. Wipes eyes with hankie* Beautifully said? Bravissimo!

*humbly bows, hands you another tissue* More beautiful to write than to actually experience, ha ha! 😀

@mineralizedwritings

Hey I love helping people with plot issues! If you feel like sharing 😁 one of my favorite things in my book is trying to connect everything.

Thanks! I was telling Koshka a little about it if you want to give your thoughts…

And lol, your little speech about the land of unfulfilled dreams. I’ve been there before lol. I’m not…

*Loud, stormy applause*

*peeks out from behind piles of notebooks* Wait, someone’s clapping?

I’ve also just finished college finals for the year, so that’s a relief on time.

Congratulations! It must feel good to have them done.

I need to be more steady in my writing. Maybe that means better accountability, maybe that means working it in…

Hello fellow writers. Greetings from the land of unfulfilled dreams. Here it is 36*F and the sun is sluggishly cold. In this land are many different kinds of people of all trades and occupations. Actually, some of them don’t have any occupation yet, just…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Thanks for thinking of me! 😀 I’ve actually *cringe* never read WFS…so…I’ll probably stay away from this topic just so I don’t spoil it for if I ever get around to reading it/watching it.

@lightoverdarkness

Goodmorning…a day late. 😀

(You see, since I went to bed so late, I slept through all of yesterday and am only just waking up now!)
