Apparently. Maybe I should find one and try it. XD

@rae

Glad that’s an “almost choked”. Lol

@loopylin

Hmmm, enough fruit for a Ridgerunner if ever there was enough. XD

@elishavet-pidyon lol

@linus-smallprint haha thanks then!

@theshadow

I’m glad I could help!!

Yes! Lmk when you flesh out the ideas more, I’d love to hear what you come up with!

@trailblazer

Pretty much all the public schoolers have phones and are preoccupied with boys and drama at school

😣 I wish schools didn’t have to be that way. It’s crazy that when I hear of a 12 or 13 year old dating or whatever, I’m not surprised. I don’t agree with it! but it doesn’t shock me. 🙁 I mean, y’all should be enjoying your childhood a…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @koshka @hybridlore @elishavet-pidyon @trailblazer @theducktator @grcr @theshadow

Y’all are so so so helpful!!! I wish I could reply to each individual response, but that would take a while. 🤪

The theme I’m getting from most of the responses though is that MG needs more wholesomeness, or at least that was what you enjoyed the mos…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo: *gentle if slightly confused smile* Of course. Do…do you mind staying with Silvia?

Leo

War heroes? A frown creased Leo’s brow. Had this kid ever even deamed a childhood? “No. Just a bunch of kids walking home from school. They saw the sidewalk had a new square of pavement, and decided it would be fun to write their names…[Read more]

@loopylin

Okay, so my brain has been reading things with interesting twists to words. I literally just read that as “We’ve reached 500 papayas, guys.”

XD

@ellette-giselle

Oh my word! WHY CAN’T HE BE MY OLDER BROTHER!?!? I need a Leo!!😭😍

*Leo is concerned. He wonders if maybe this Ellette girl needs adopting too*

@ellette-giselle

Leo

His eyebrows quirked, but he didn’t question Rory’s agitated silence. God knew what was going through the kid’s head.

He flicked the torch on to a low, white flame. The sealent bubbled a bit under the heat. He slowly turned it up to a much hotter blue, thankful for his well fired gauntles. His visor closed of it’s own…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

 I think you have a great chance of doing that just as much as anyone else.

why thank you!

@ellette-giselle @linus-smallprint If all else fails, remember that your guys’ stories, no matter what they are, will make so much more impact in the world than mine.

@ellette-giselle

Leo

He waited for Rory to move back before slipping on his helmet, but, just as he readied the torch, something told him to stop.

Why is he staring at me?

“You good kid? Do you-” Leo stopped, fingers about to drop his visor frozen in place. Something about the kid reminded him of a test pilot who’d nearly gone down with his…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle I can understand the raining part lol. Me, I actually like it when it’s raining, but the humidity that comes afterward plus the frequent 80-90 degree weather is not fun at all.

@ellette-giselle not gonna lie, I’ve never seen you as….as…. *gestures to your depressed posts* this. Critics are likely gonna say way worse about your book, and won’t be as nice as Linus or any of the rest of us about it. It’s just the life of an author.

Also, remember, you can say no to feedback. If you don’t agree with something he said,…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon I love how the writer is confused when things don’t go exactly the way she tried to write it lol

@ellette-giselle

 I wonder……. these books were written so long ago and comparing them to the stuff I have written now, they’re just not as good at all.

I feel you. I look back at some of my old work and I’m like “I wrote this??? Sheesh, this is terrible!”

But then sometimes I look back at my old work and I’m like “With a little reworking, this c…[Read more]

Leo

“We’re going to fix this tile.”

He opened the bottle of sealant and carefully poured it into the cracks between shards. It pooled over the tile in a nice, whitish gloup. Using a paint scraper from his belt, Leo spread the stuff out until both broken tiles were covered in an even layer.

“This stuff will set up hard as steel…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Ah! Many thanks. You didn’t cut yourself, did you?”

Rory looked down at his gloved hands and shrugged. Leo carefully picked up the shard. It slipped in place, filling the largest gap.

Maybe he wouldn’t need aluminum alloy after all. Which was good. He’d have had to leave Rory here guarding their work to go find some, and…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Eh, maybe.” He looked up, eyebrows bunching together. “Except the plan is to get everything to fit perfectly together. So, maybe.”

He settled another piece in place. One tile was coming together quite nicely.

“I’d think of it more like fitting a bomb shell with it’s cordinants. All the bits have to be just so, or your…[Read more]
