Do words really change color for you when you read them, or do you read it in black ink but see it in your head as colored?

Acchhh this is extremely difficult. I believe my grapheme-color is somewhere in between association and projection. I was never confused as a child about how the letters were made with multiple colors, I knew they…[Read more]

@rae @raxforge @ellette-giselle

Our characters are right next to yours, see below.

@jonas @hybridlore @loopylin

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Ellis, Fel, Sara)

The four travellers tried to look inconspicuous in the dark. Their soaked clothes mostly blended in with the background. Marcel noticed Felicity’s bright hair, and motioned for her to shove…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Have you, by any chance, read The Sinking City by Christine Cohens?

@linus-smallprint

Like I said, my mind was in a weird place. Specifically in the place of a reader snacking on some yogurt-covered pretzels.

Ew.

Honestly, I have always found those things rather nasty. They taste like artificial sweetener. Or at least the ones I’ve had always do.

You can post every couple of days. I can go over a couple of…

❤️❤️

@theducktator

Oh, yes, I love that song!! <33

@esther-c

Yes, I’m definitely praying for the election.

Thankful our God is sovereign and in control, no matter what ✨

I’ve found A Mighty Fortress a good song for today, precisely because of that. Delete the space at the beginning of the link.

Ilahna —— Elderstrand (w/ Klethen and Everett)

Ilahna ran blindly, following Klethen’s form in the dark ahead. She couldn’t manage a song while running, so she had no way to sense if anyone was nearby.

She could tell by sound, however, that the armored creatures were still behind…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

(I wasn’t sure if your characters ended up following or not, so I just avoided mentioning it either way.)

Rina —— Elderstrand

“Where…are we going?” Rina panted as the group ran on.

“The city is being locked down,” Fleet responded. “We won’t be able to get through any of the gates. So, we’re heading for the river. We…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @loopylin @hybridlore

Ellis —— Elderstrand (w/ Marcel, Felicity, Sara)

Ellis nodded. “Let’s go. Quick!”

The group slipped into the alley and waited in silence as the soldiers neared the street.

“Spread out!” someone shouted. “They must be here somewhere.”

Ellis gripped his sword tight, prepared to silence the first person who…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Look, if anyone picks up the series at book two, they deserve to be confused. *shrug*

I have a friend with the same mindset. Alcatraz Smeadry will probably approve heartily!

WHAT? That doesn’t even fit with the period!!!

Like I said, my mind was in a weird place. Specifically in the place of a reader snacking on some y…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Wonderful!

I love that musical so much.

@linus-smallprint

Look, if anyone picks up the series at book two, they deserve to be confused. *shrug*

If there’s any recap I’ll put a little in the Blurb on the back. But otherwise, what’s here is what they get.

Good Grief! Book two for nine year olds! NO WAY! It is so dark!

I’m a little torn. I think most of the conversation you have i…

@keilah-h

Hey, thank you so much for this!

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do, and I’m so glad you can see that! Makes me so happy!!!

@ellette-giselle

That works! Just swap wife and son for parents.

@stephie

The one thing I’m going to criticize is what Charles says when his son is saved: 

Okay, I will see what I can do about that. Though I may put this one off for a bit. Thank you for pointing this out. I’m not the most emotional person, so sometimes I struggle with writing em…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Lol, I was wondering when you would start wanting the backstory.

This is a good opportunity to see how someone who has not read Book I can understand this book. Like it or not, some people will start to read your series with Book II, III, or IV. Remember to provide the context for these readers so that they will be able to…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Hi! Back with a few more questions! 🫣

Have you heard of projects/associators? It basically is the difference between actually seeing words/symbols in the color or just associating it with that color in your mind’s eye. Do words really change color for you when you read them, or do you read it in black ink but see it in your head as…[Read more]

@highscibeofaetherium @jonas

Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply.

Everett – Elderstrand with Ilahna and Klethen

Everett’s eyes squinted as he tried to make out further details about the cloaked figures until the man told them to run and they apparently would not be able to fight the creatures. He quickly went after the two who had bolted o…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @loopylin @jonas

“We need to… hide somewhere…” Marcel panted, pulling Sara forward.

She glanced around and saw an abandoned-looking alley. “What about there?”

@everyone else If our characters are going to meet up, maybe now would be a good place to do it?
