We also have a new tradition where we eat a different cuisine for dinner on the three(?) nights leading up to Christmas. Like Mexican, Chinese, pizza, and then on Christmas Eve we eat finger foods so there aren’t a lot of leftovers to leave room in the fridge for left over Christmas dinner. 😋

@theshadow

Yes ma’am!! Similar to like a lot of people celebrate I think… We never grew up with Santa, so that’s never been a thing (we have nothing against it, of course, we just never “believed” in it as kids). We decorate our house for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving and we set up our Christmas tree (we have wayyyy too many ornaments…[Read more]

Thanks ladies!! <33

@theducktator

Cool! I’ve been wanting to read that for a while!

Does anyone have ideas for drawing a character with a rough clothing fashion, without making them look edgy?

@theducktator

I posted one instance of Barnes doing this on the snowball topic ;]

@raxforge 🌬️ ⚪️ @keilah-h 🌬️ ⚪️

Yep, I celebrate Christmas!

I celebrate it with a little different intention than many Christians do. Lots of people believe it is morally right to celebrate it as only Christ’s birthday, and we should have focus and do nothing else; as a child I was confused about this because it doesn’t mention this holiday anywhere in the Bible.

I don’t t…[Read more]

I just did! They look great! Nice to see the pictures of what they look like. Joseph’s was a little blurry… but… I think I saw a picture of him handcuffed against a wall… 😳

@theducktator

Sounds good. Third person makes it a lot easier to keep track.

Maybe they’ll just have less important roles. Or maybe they’ll die.

Lol… 😳

getting sidetracked by a good book, I have returned.

Ooh! What book did this happen to be? 🤪

@ellette-giselle

Good section!!!

Again, you’re summing up lots of time here, especially at the end. I would maybe like to be shown instead of told some of that, but it’s okay if you just really need to get to the next part.

Joseph felt that for once they were safe.

Then, something happened that changed everything.

Oh no… 😥

@linus-smallprint What I meant by “breaks immersion” is that I didn’t really want to pay attention to the spells. They have no use to me. They’re deeply evil in Alan’s world and useless in mine, so what reason do I have for needing them in my memory?

Also the part about the writer changing them didn’t make sense to me. Why not just not write…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ahhhh, gotcha.

Sure!

@the_lost-journal

So, whenever I’m overwhelmed, whether by emotions or circumstances, or just whatever, I have to remind myself that God is there and He cares and wants me to turn to Him for help. I understand it’s not easy for everyone to talk to a God that they can’t physically see or hear, but He’s there, Kefa. He wants you to come to Him wit…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Aww!! 🥰

So, one question—why would Amelia inherit part of her uncle’s inn? Wouldn’t that usually go to her brothers?

Also, I like that we’re getting more conversations between Joseph and Amelia. However, I feel like they’re all based on future situations—mostly just “what if this happens?” Except for this one:

I’m kinda in between Whaley and Ellette on this. They both have good points I agree with.

It’s your call, Linus. Your story is the one on the line.

@whalekeeper I get that and to some extent agree. It’s just the inclusion of a detailed description of the spells kinda broke immersion for me a little. It didn’t seem THAT necessary.

Also people like Ellette can have their limits, I’m not trying to shame that. 😅

I’m trying to think of a good way to put this… Say you’re writing a YA book about how loose relationships (no marriage, easily separated, “it depends on how I feel about you from week to week”) hurts people. Well, you’re going to have to depict a bad relationship in order to talk about it. You just have to. There will always be somebody wh…[Read more]
