Moth

They entered a room that, while small, matched the rest of the academy’s admirable architectural beauty. A dark wall cradled several windows, and light traveled through the thick old glass, giving the boys a view of the green grounds.

One of the boys standing at a table caught Moth’s attention. His glasses flickered und…[Read more]

Thanks, everyone!

My computer doesn’t like this forum for some reason, so it’s hard for me to respond to everyone individually. (My side, not your side. It glitches and stuff on my side :P)

Anyways, your advice has helped a lot!

I still can’t decide if I am a pantser or plotter.

@koshka

You took me out. I got a notif for this in the middle of class during a break and I could not stop grinning for a while. Imagine that was canon and important enough for Ari to notice.

@beth-torres

*composes self* I am a mature woman.

Yes, yes, we’re all mature women here.

@koshka

Students farted along the halls.

I’m assuming you meant to type “darted”, but this is hilarious to me. It sounds like something my dad (a teacher) would say

@whalekeeper @koshka

Ok here’s what they’re walking into

Lois

Lois felt that he had checked every room in the castle by now, looking for that aggravating automaton. He had not, of course. The academy was very large, and there were plenty of private or restricted areas. But still, he was tired. He cradled a mug of black coffee he had gotten from…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper @koshka Wow, that is so awesome, guys!!

@writingwren

I’m having a similar problem. I love my projects but I flit from one to the next and no real progress gets made, so I don’t know how much help I’ll be. As far as clean Christian books go, I generally read classics and MG. I avoid YA and adult unless recommended by people I trust or written in the olden days. If you want…[Read more]

Moth

“We’ll find it. Come.” Moth put down his things and left by the archery range entrance, slowing to make sure he was being followed.

@whalekeeper @koshka

Ellis

Ellis’ brow furrowed. “Chemistry, I believe.”

He was mildly surprised by Ari caving, but he didn’t show it.

“I am not sure where the classroom is, though.”

@whalekeeper @koshka

No problem with little skirmishes.

Yeahh conflict is fun. That’s why I pointed it out :]

@loopylin @koshka

Yeeaaah that’s true. :-p They could easily turn sour towards each other. And that’s okay. No problem with little skirmishes.

Koshka, I was a little mentally exhausted last night, and when I tried to write, this collection of images suddenly flashed in my mind. I’m afraid I saw our characters as these cats.

@koshka @loopylin

Moth

“Come with us, Ari.” Moth let his antennae droop, just a little.

@koshka @whalekeeper I feel like if it weren’t for Moth, Ari and Ellis would probably not get along.

@koshka @whalekeeper

Ellis

Ellis began putting away his gear as he listened to the other two.

“What is the point of an academy, then?” he asked Ari. “Did you come here unwillingly?”

@loopylin @koshka

Moth

“Yes. I will go to your science class. And Ari will come with us.”

@whalekeeper @koshka

Ellis

Ellis started at the mention of learning. Right. This was a school. He looked up at the large clock above the gym entrance.

“There is a science class on my schedule that starts soon. I hadn’t decided yet if I was going to attend.”

@loopylin @koshka

Yayy, he caught them both off guard

Moth

Ari and Ellis were almost smiling; that was easy to sense. Inwardly, Moth couldn’t help but glow. He kept a firm countenance.

He lifted his bow one last time. “If I make this, Ari must pay homage to my superior skills.”

Unfortunately for him, his arm’s strength gave out before he co…[Read more]

@koshka

I just got four more emails for the same post

@whalekeeper @koshka

Ellis

Ellis was caught off guard. He watched the side of Moth’s face as he fiddled with his bow.

“… You’re welcome, I suppose.” He wasn’t trying to be particularly kind, but he had had fun hanging around with Moth that morning. A smile threatened to tug at his mouth.

@koshka

No, but it did give me five duplicate emails for it
