Chapter 11! I’m not totally decided if I’ll completely reduce down to one a week in the future, so you may get a few surprise double chapters, but this week there’s only one.

Also, TCoH has become my longest project at just over 33k words and about 100 W…[Read more]

@everyone

Check out Topic of the Week!!

@keilah-h

That looks so good right now… I wish I was a good enough baker to make that on a whim.

@linus-smallprint

Yay for spring and positive temperatures! But I’m sure somewhere in Canada there’s still snow on the ground. 😉

Outlining, fun. Or not fun. I hope it goes well.

@keilah-h

Of course!

@whalekeeper oooh I like the skylight idea! I might use that, thanks!

@keilah-h

Hm… You can go this route. I put a skylight on the train car as a light source. It’s exaggerated so you get the idea.

Otherwise, if you don’t want another light source, I’d say just shade as if the sun is above. A glow still falls on us during a cloudy day, even if it doesn’t lead to sharp shadows.

@anyone remotely good at shading

I can’t shade for two scales. Anyone wanna help me figure out where to shade this redraw of Sniper and Medic?

For context, they will be standing on top of a train in the mountains, and there is no definitive light source to be seen (the sun is covered over by clouds and there aren’t many lights on this sec…[Read more]

@theshadow it still took me a while to get it right, but considering I was only doing a headshot (pun intended) it was done quickly since I didn’t have to worry about anything under his neck.

Bro, I was literally like smashing the submit button and it took forever for that response to post 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

@savannah_grace2009

My story is not a lighthearted, hopeful story, at least in the beginning. Right now it’s supposed to be “depressing” and dark. Honestly, to add sprinkles of hope in wouldn’t work for what’s going to happen in the next few chapters. Because right now, none of my characters know God, and so without God there is no hope. I want to…

Gradually, though, the cough turned into a hoarse, uncontrolled laugh. A moment later he sat up, a half-grin on his face, and his pupil dilated like a cat’s in the dark.

My heartbeat actually spiked when I read that

@ellette-giselle

That makes sense! Jsyk, you don’t have to participate in everything, but they do offer a lot of different challenges and things for people who can do them. I didn’t even make my goal last time (embarrassingly so xD) because of school and homework. But I still had a ton of fun! It’s okay if you can’t do it, though. I underst…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yay!! The camp opens this Wednesday, but it doesn’t officially start until March 1.

I did it last year for the first time in November and liked it a lot. Everyone sets a goal for the month, and spends the rest of the months cheering each other on, sharing excerpts from their WIPs, and doing challenges. Esther and I should be in the Chickadee tent this year, so if you’re i…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Technically I borrowed them from King’s Daughters Writing Camp. But yes xD

By the way, that’s starting soon. You should sign up for it! It’s like CWW but for a whole month. And only for girls. @esther-c and I should be doing it.

@ellette-giselle

Ahhh. Forgot about the double-rethrow rule. XD

This is the cake:

*sputters, wipes snow off face*

How . . . what . . . where did you get all those snowballs? XD

*strides off and makes a mental note to finish math so I can start writing*
