Yay!!

It’s still a little rough, but I’m happy with it.

Hi y’all! So, Project Gold Heart (aka the series Zlati and Vulka are in) has been renamed and is currently being drafted (Lord willing and I don’t dump this by June)

For…[Read more]

@power

Ah yes, his royal highness the Black Mongoose certainly qualifies as an upbeat ninja and we need more of him.

@ellette-giselle

The great thing is, since it’s so cold, they can literally take him back to the home camp with them.

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

*Dumps confetti over both of your heads*

@ellette-giselle

XD

Oh really? Hmm. Maybe I could at least get a very rough draft done for him.

@whalekeeper

Yes!

I’m hoping to actually finish a draft this summer. Just not sure which project…*glances nervously toward glowering characters*

*Whispers* I think they’re hanging up on me.

@whalekeeper

Idk. I’ve already had all my questions about GE answered.

Maybe what his first story idea was? Or what were some of the most impacted books for him growing up?

The Wise Fool is one of my favorites.

Also, that character in the background with more knives than words, that is the first to react to a threat, but the least likely to comment on it. Mikhail Gregovsky from A Light in Zion fit this to a pin. Natan Israeli in Brother Enemy is similar, if more snarky. Smalls from Green Ember is kinda like this to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I knooowwwwwwww!!! 😭

We’re both still at home though, so there’s that.

@ellette-giselle

My older sister is a graduate student there, so yes, but no, my twin is going somewhere else.

*Mournful sigh*

@ellette-giselle

It’s close enough to commute, about 40 minutes one way (so not amazing, but not bad).

@whalekeeper

Sounds like you’re all set to me!

Words of wisdom are heavy upon the fingers.

Oh my word. XD That needs to be a tag line

Ack, my slow typing…

@whalekeeper

I already have that! Perhaps I have made some better-than-bad choices!

Yay!

…What about the first few chapters of the book, though? I want to set him up as likable then, but the beginning doesn’t include any huge brave decisions because it’s setting up the status quo.

The status quo is him trying to be “comfortable” or whatever, right…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

O.O

Yeah, entering finals and graduation, then transferring to a university for next fall.

Annnnnd you answered some of that already. XD

@whalekeeper

Hmm. Often anxious, slightly pessimistic, nervous.

Give him something (or someone) he cares so much about that he would risk anxious situations to protect/keep/help. It could be something simple like a pet kitten or his father’s pocket watch, or something more complex like a best friend. What drives his anxiety? What is a cause he’d…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

How…? Oh bother.

*Snatches a jacket and poofs away*

@ellette-giselle

Hopefully not? But right now…maybe.

*Deep sigh of weariness*

Life is nuts right now. So yeah, it might take something kinda out there to stop my in my hamster wheel of days.

I should be back to something like normal in…two weeks?
