What’s your name on JWM?

Whoa, that sounds really interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Oh wait…I think I’ve heard you mentioned Nahim before. Oh yes…I can totally understand why it feels very special to you! No problem. Don’t feel pressured to reply back/be super active on JWM.

Great! See you over there! What is Guardian Angels about?

Awesome!

What’s your profile name on JWM? I can’t find you.

I asked Justice about after this month, and he says they’re planning to host JWM every year. But I’m glad you joined up anyway!

Wait, you’re going to college? Woah…what’s the Next C.S.Lewis Foundation course?!

Great! November is just a writing galore month!

Probably just November. This is the first time they’re doing this, so I’m not 100% what’s happening after November. We’ll see.

Are any of…[Read more]

Hello everyone!

You may or may not have heard me rave about the MARKED series. It’s a…[Read more]

Well…I love the trope of the older brother protecting his younger siblings. Or even an older sister. There’s also the dynamic of the action sibling and the book sibling…but perhaps that gets used too much.

I also love the dynamic of having a strong sibling and a weak sibling. Or siblings that have a big age gap between them. I…[Read more]

AND THAT IS A WRAP!!!

BOTH BOOKS ARE DONE!!!!!!! *screams and dumps a bucket of confetti on my head*

*pours more confetti on top and adds a bucket of water…heehee…*

Hooray!

Such a cute boy!

Hey! How about JonA?

I feel like I may have found my shippers for this book. Can you even “ship” those names? What would that even be?

Hah! This is awesome! Let’s see…

Some ideas:

Amthan

Amnathan

Jonamb

I like Amnathan the best. It has a cool rhythm. Does anybody have other ideas?

I knew it!

I feel like Amber and Jonathan are going to adopt Leo. 😂

I agree 100%! And I totally think Jonathan and Amber are going to fall in love.

Yes, that was me. I don’t exactly want him to die…I just have a feeling that he might.

Poor 618. And 621. That government! 😡

Hear, hear.

Yes… I did…. (I have an aspiring pilot of a brother with pilot friends, so yes. XD) but I also invented this plane so I have a little leeway.

Ah, right! I forgot about that. Neat!

why, did something stand out that seemed incorrect?

Nope, it’s actually the opposite. I was so impressed by how realistic it all sounded.

I went through all six chapters! I’m thoroughly enjoying the story! I’m excited to see Cassion appear.

By the way, how much research did you do for all the jet tech stuff? Did you actually look into all those terms they talked about?  Especially Jason’s engineering talk…

He’s one of the villains.

-he has a pet crow or raven

Actually, I wasn’t thinking of it like that…but that makes a lot of sense. Okay, I’ll add this to the story!

Yes! You are correct!

@hybridlore

Wow, it looks great! But this seems like a sad character or a villain. 😢

Yup. But thankfully…something good happens.…[Read more]

YAYY!!!!

AHH!

I love those boards! *gasp* Oh my gosh…it’s little-traumatized RORY!!!! Wait…is Leo going to show up?

Woah…Cassian…I already really like this guy.

So wait, are any of the characters from Sector 5 going to be in here?

That symbol is stunning! Great art, Ellette!

And here is the last board! (for now)

You don’t have to be the youngest to have YSS. 😉

Thanks! I may be tagging some other people to there.

I don’t remember these fellows well because I skimmed over their part so much…but from just looking at their moodboards, I instantly liked Brian! I love his quotes. And maybe because he sort of looks like an AOA actor? Jason is funny as well…

And…Evan is showing some clear signs of YSS.

Where can I find that thread?

Did you ever share any lists on the list threads?

No, I didn’t! I didn’t even know there was such a thread! I’ll have to check it out!

I just finished it…I didn’t comment much, but still, there are some. OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! 314 was my favorite character from the first moment he appeared…but I won’t know 100% for sure until I have the actual book and take the time to fully, slowly read it.

This book reminds me so much of another story a young writer wants…[Read more]

AHHHH!!! Oh my gosh!!! I love those boards! Amber….that’s SO cool! By the way, I’ve started commenting a bit in Sector 5. I know I’m late, so I’m just skimming it in preporation for Book 2.

Interesting… He looks like he’s facing several dilemmas. I like him. Hmm.

😄 You were actually the only person to point that out! Yes…dilemmas is the perfect word.

Was he the prince in the short story?

Yup. 100% royalty.

Closer to the typical knight type of warrior. Honor is a big thing to him.

*big nod* Oh yes. 🎶 Truth, hon…[Read more]

Contemplative personality, probably optimistic in a quieter way.

Ooo, I love how you worded that! “Optimistic in a quieter way”. I’ve found that getting feedback on character boards gives me more varied vocabulary for describing them.

Probably has some good advice up his sleeve and maybe a little mischief(which others don’t e…

-Very nice green eyes (lol I just think green eyes are so cool)

😄 I didn’t even notice they were a green color…I was going for a pale blue/grayish…but I think “green” actually fits him well.

-Does Psalm 23 imply that he himself is a shepherd or comes from a family who worked with sheep, or is that just his favorite psalm?

It portrays…[Read more]

And here’s Zahn!

Yes on all three! He has a brother-in-arms, but a blood brother.

Here is Keiden! What do you make of the man?

I decided I loved it when Kyler sent Jace flying into the mystery visitor. XD

😂 Yay!

There were several places where either the syntax or word choice made the little reading voice in my head stumble, so I’ll come back and note those,

Great! I will look forward to those. I actually went over the doc and changed some of those t…[Read more]

😆 I’m excited to hear what you say!

Don’t worry…I sometimes miss things too.

No worries! Thanks for getting back to me, though.

Great! From the three POVs, how would you describe those three fellows? Zahn, Kyler, and Guy.

Okay, great! I’m glad you felt that difference.

Yes…Jace is the youngest. Everyone else is in their twenties or thirties…Jace is the only one with the word “teen” in his age. Everyone views him like their little brother.

Guy… we didn’t really get much there, but I got the impression he is haunted by his past. Lol…

[Read more]

Yes! I’m planning, Lord willing, to write a book with these guys in it.

I did notice a few times that some words you used were either typos or not words at all (or words I’d never seen.)
Thanks. I think I caught all of those.

The POVs seemed pretty different, I think. Obviously, the longer we spend with the characters, the more w…[Read more]

Starlit Night
A Refuge Rangers Short Story
 

“When was the last time you ate squirrel, Jace?”

Zahn looked up from his third stanza to spot Kyler poking a blackened rodent over the fire. Jace sat on the opposite side of the fire, scribbling away in his leather book. His blond head barely lifted at Kyler’s question.

“You mean th…[Read more]

Hello girls! I recently completed my first short story from Refuge Rangers! I thought I’d tag you since you’ve all been reviewing the guys moodboards. Here’s an glimpse of their characters in a story! Burd isn’t there…and I’ve yet to post about Zahn and Keiden. But I will soon! Lord…[Read more]

Oh no! Oops. Well, you can go with Beatrice. She is really bossy.

I picked Beatrice because she wasn’t not wise in picking nail polish for her team…it was just for herself! That was pretty selfish. I wanted to pick Pawel for immunity…but he wasn’t one of the options. I chose Jayden next because he seemed kind and worked together with his team.

Oh! I didn’t get that part…okay, here are…[Read more]

Ahh!!! I loved the part when Buddy gave the frisbee back! I was cheering my boy all the way. And when the Sirens decided not to cheat. Pawel sounds like a great character.  Kyomi is terrible! I wish I could vote her out.

Elimination: E

Immunity: 4

Challenge: Z!!! (This game is so much fun in real life)

I may not be that active, but I can vote still.
