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]

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]

Leo

“Good question.” He sat back on his heels and reached for another broken piece. “I think it’s some sort of game, or at least that’s what a friend of mine said. You have a picture that’s been cut up into a lot of pieces, and you have to put the pieces together to see the full picture. Or something like that.”

He rearranged…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ooooh, you’re cruel. Tossing that out there like that after I’ve already fallen for this character and everything. *Turns my glare on you*

XD

Leo

The two tiles had broken up, pieces scattered across the hallway. Leo knelt to pick up a piece. It’s edge was rough, sharp enough to cut skin. Porcelain then. Although it had been…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh gracious. XD

@ellette-giselle

Oooof…no…*glared at Wyoh*

I’ll probably zip them off somewhere to *ahem* illustrate Leoron’s interesting fixing methods.

Rory is not fine, he has broken ribs and a cracked knee, and no you don’t build immunity to broken bones. XD

@ellette-giselle

Well…

Since you’re helping out with the Susan story, you saw how I typically plot, and um…I’m almost done with his plot diagram…so now actual scene writing is supposed to start…

@ellette-giselle

Oh yes. The Button. XD

(I think It’s your turn? But I can go ahead and just scoot them off to some new assignment if you want.)

Or….. I could call the agents back and have them deal with him…….

or you could bring in a rebel captain to look over the place. Say they’ve driven the agents out of the school for a time. am totall…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yay! Thank you. They will now be highlighted on my playlist sheet.

(I’m actually considering having him play a type of guitar. Like, just a random thing to throw into his character. It’s so different from the aesthetic of the book [space outlaws and warring gangs aren’t very “calm guitar”ish], but he just seems like the kind of…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yay! Was there a song that really seemed to fit him? I trying to find one that’s his theme song, XD

(Also, the Sounds of Power music is thanks to my brother for sharing with me)

@ellette-giselle

Thought you might be interested. Here’s the playlist I randomly decided to compile for Leo’s story (CotR)

Instrumental – aesthetic music

From “Sounds of Power” Epic instrumental

• “Faith”
• “The Key”
• “Got Fight”
• “Courage”

From Emily Black’s “Cloak of the Light” sound track

• “The Fine Art of Sarcasm”
• “Chicago”
• “Be…

@esther-c

GREAT point.

Why thank you. XD

Honestly, if you do want to write MG fiction (and I hope you do) I recommend doing some research into the psychology of 8-13 year olds. Not only will it help your writing, it will help you understand your readers, and your own memories. (On that note, try to remember what it was like to be a kid, not…[Read more]

@rae

Ahh! Animal fantasy! I adore this stuff so much. Yes, one of my series is a bunch of wolves and foxes and possibly sea faring black footed sand cats all picking fights with one another. It’s great fun. XD

@raxforge

I definitely approve. We need more animal fantasy that isn’t down right weird. Squirrels are hilarious, and a secret kingdom…[Read more]

@esther-c

*Literally comes out of nowhere*

MG!! My genre. Yes! We need more good MG fiction.

– What did/do you enjoy about your favorite MG novels?

Action, but not necessarily what you’d first think of. I wanted my heros to do something that mattered, even if it was sitting in a dark closet for hours, bravely taking hardship and fighting the…[Read more]

Some reads we never forget

Some books we never forgive

Haven’t seen the end of this yet

We’ll write as long as we live.

All eyes on the hidden door

To the lonely laptop borne

We’ll ride in through the scribbling storm

Till we write our long forgotten WIPs…

@grcr

That’s really cool.

I know it would be a ton of work, but it’s beautiful. If you do get a comic book published, I’d buy it.

@grcr

That looks so good! And like a ton of work. Wow.

So would the book open to the left? Is that a normal thing for comic books (*has no clue since current comic expirence  is nearly non-existent*)?

@linus-smallprint

Oh good gravy, yes… that’s way too true. XD

@hybridlore

Yay!!!!

*Poofs over to read*
