So my family always has a big family dinner for Thanksgiving, with the aunt, uncle, cousins (SO MANY COUSINS), grandparents, great-grandparents, random friends that are essentially family, etc. A couple years ago my dad’s parents decided to host it. It was a BLAST of a…[Read more]

Aw, thanks! I found it online and fell in love with it. *grins*

Ooh, I like her!!!! Kiara sounds like the perfect name… 😉

I like that. Very dramatic. And hilariously out of context

He’s quite the fellow. Poor guy. XD

Character: Asor, an Arthro of the Lycos clan

*is trying to come up with more without letting myself touch my manuscript (I’m avoiding it like COVID masks for a few months XD)*

“What do I do when you all die and I’m left with a crazy assassin? She’ll probably get…[Read more]

*reads comment again*

Oh wait. Maybe I’m reading this wrong. XD *facepalm*

Sorry, I have to go to bed now. 🙁 (Seriously, though, we have terrible timing. XD) But thanks for asking!

Sorry I missed your sprint! That’s a really good last line, though. 😀

Nice last line! Full of mystery and sadness – almost like she’s giving up, whoever she is. XD

Sry, I can’t right now, but good luck!

Sorry, I don’t have a Facebook account. 🙁 But thx for tagging me! You tagged most of the peeps I know of on here, lemme add one or two… @beth-darlene @erynne

Thx for tagging me! Sry I didn’t make it. (Also, I noticed you found my blog – thanks SO MUCH for your support!)

It’s The Pen Inspired.

Aw, shoot! *glares at technology*

Working on a blog post, so sure! Starting at :28.

Thanks for the tag! Sorry I didn’t make it – how did you do?

Done, with only 660 words. I got some good editing in, though! Thanks for tagging me. 🙂

Sprinting with you for an hour! Starting at :00.

Reporting for duty! *snaps a salute* (BTW, is this the aforementioned road trip we talked about on the Club? If so, say hi to Zander for me!)

Aw, I’m sorry (and I totally get it)! *pats your back and hands you chocolate and promises it’ll be ok*

Ooh, thx for tagging me! I shall enter (assuming I can come up with a reasonably decent short story in that amount of time XD).

Ah, I think my aunt lives in Quebec. Dutch is cool!

Ohhhhhhh, that dude! Yeah, now I know who you’re talking about. And here I was thinking they put Elrohir in for a bit. XD

Oh, cool! I’m attempting to learn Sindarin, although I hope to eventually learn Tengwar too. 🙂

Hey, you gotta start somewhere. 😛

Thanks, but I can’t take credit – ’twas a photo I dug up online. XD It is a reflection of my WIP. *glares at slowly-moving WIP*

Ooh, I haven’t seen that movie in ages!! My siblings and I used to act it out all the time. 😀

Wow, really? My aunt lives in Canada – she loves it. 🙂 Does this mean you speak French?

Lindir? I don’t…[Read more]

(BTW, awesome username, and I ADORE your quote!) Sorry for not getting back to you earlier! Life is hectic. 😉 Yep, he’s from LOTR (and Gildor is also the name of my betta)! He’s one of my favorite Elves – I wish they’d put him in the films.

Haha, it’s not. Trust me. 😉

*gaaaaaasp* HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!?! O_O I love it, thx so much for spending your time on it! Excellent work!

@lydia-s,

If I may ask, is each one of those hand pictures indicating a power one of or multiple of your characters have?

Of course you may ask. 😛 And yes, basically. The lightning one was actually supposed to have something to…[Read more]

Haha, no problem!

1)  are lytt, jenis, and jistis part of the keepers?

Whoops, I forgot to answer that one, huh? Simply put, yes.

2)  where did Ricco escape from?

His manor in Lehen, a town in the southern plains of the center kingdom in the Regions of Mankind. Did that make any sense? XD

3)  who is the POV(s) of the story? (it might he…

[Read more]

Yay, thanks!

*facepalm* I keep forgetting that people don’t know what my story is about. XD

1)  is Lytt the sister of Jenis and Jistis?

No. She’s another character in the team Jistis and Jenis are on.

2)  who are the keepers?  Are Lytt, Jenis, and Jistis part of the keepers?

Oof, big part I missed there. The Keepers (short for Keepers of the Nine) ar…[Read more]

Current synopsis:

Lord Delernious has escaped, but the Keepers are hot on his trail. Little do they know that he has laid traps along the way. When it turns out that Lytt is being hunted by someone who was supposed to be a friend, things get even more complicated. Tension also…[Read more]

Ooh, really nice!! *applies all of them mentally to my MC and tries not to laugh*

On the subject of names, I ADORE NAMING PEOPLE/PLACES/RANDOM THINGS!! If y’all need suggestions…

Okay, here are a few quotes:

“You abuse your power, you lose your power.”

“Your silence speaks more than your words do. It doesn’t matter.” Ricco waved a hand dismissively. “My spies know everything.”

“Powers have their limits too.”

Yeah, none of those are really good, but that was the best I could find from the first half. 🙂

Hm… I do believe I’ve seen you before… 😛

Hi Beth, good to ‘see’ you! 😀

Can you give me your current synopsis and a couple of quotes from your book you love?  I’ll mess around with the blurb if you want and you can choose which one you like.

Sure! I can’t right now, but I will as soon as possible. 🙂

@lydia-s,

Maybe there’s a sentence that kinda summarizes the main part of the story you could start the blur…

[Read more]

Haha, I know that feeling!

Sorry for intruding on your conversation, but I just wanted to say that I agree with everything you wrote, Grace (and you put it so well!). Here’s an article that I think might be cool for y’all to look at: https://storyembers.org/the-biggest-lie-we-believe-about-strong-female-protagonists/

Also, I dislike most secular…[Read more]
