Yeah, I mean, I personally prefer that whoever I’m talking to would make eye contact as well, or at least try to. But as long as they’re not like, staring at the floor or clearly not even looking at me, then I’m not offended or anything.
I do believe consistently making eye contact takes practice and i…[Read more]

Honestly, that was the obligation I felt writing this, so no wonder you picked that up from reading it.
lol. It felt like it.
I think your dad has some really good advice. I would go with that.

No problem.

Should I wait on a drawing from you, or are you planning to skip this round?

Ellette Giselle replied to the topic Art Challenge! in the forum Art 2 years ago
Am I getting an updated drawing from you, or would you like to use the one you already submitted?

Ellette Giselle replied to the topic The Narrow Path Trilogy Book I: The Cost in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years ago
Hmm. I didn’t want to dwell too long on it, since both the reader and Alan want to hear Charles’s story more. But I wanted to include this as well, because, like I said, a fantasy book telling you not to read fantasy books would just be weird. Perhaps I have room to fit in more here? I could also try coming back to this lat…

 Anyway, I think he needs some pointy ears and a ridiculous amount of equipment on his back, eh?
😠
No.
Nope.
Not happening.

Oh, also, I’m gonna ask someone to stop us if we get too heated. I have a tendency to do this when I really get the ball rolling. ellette-giselle If Whaley agrees, would you mind?
Yes, I can kill this if I need to, though it looks like so far y’all have kept your heads. lol

I wasn’t necessarily saying that…… Well, now that I think about it I actually am saying God should be there.
See, the big issue for me was that Rae said that her character found joy and peace and I was wondering where he found that if it wasn’t from God.

@freed_and_redeemed something just happened that I had to share with someone.
For the first time in a long time I felt the urge to read my Bible. I keep my Grandma’s old NKJV near where I sleep for such rare occasions, and after reading a couple passages in Psalms she had bookmarked, I noticed a pink envelope behind the front cover of the Bible,…[Read more] -

@rae @whalekeeper @mineralizedwritings I love how we can all peacefully discuss our different opinions on this💖
Y’all are the best : )
I agree with you, Min! Writing God in a story is difficult, and it makes it even harder depending on the genre you write. I don’t think all books have to have God be explicitly stated or mentioned or even…[Read more]

That makes sense.
I honestly kinda exist in a grey area in a way. For Guardian Angels, Nahim is already the Wondian equivalent of a Christian, but after the tragedies that struck his family and home, he’s turned his back. I don’t believe you can loose your salvation. I’m not an extreme Calvinist, but I do have calvinistic b…[Read more]

So, as I said, I’m just debating the opposite side from you, so I most likely do not believe what I’m saying. In fact, I’m personally more inclined to agree with your side.
Oh, also, I’m gonna ask someone to stop us if we get too heated. I have a tendency to do this when I really get the ball rolling. @ellette-giselle If Whaley…[Read more]

Leon set the plate and utensil aside on a counter.
How was he supposed to say what he had to say without sounding ungrateful? How was he supposed to explain the burning anger that still pulsed through his veins in a way they would understand?

Yes and No. I haven’t been able to find my style yet, but that drawing is part of the process of finding it. I’ve been doing different styles lately, both honing my observations to paper skills and looking at many styles. I think mine will end up being similar to that one in the end though, since I’ve started to really enjoy t…[Read more]

Exactly! 🤪 Thx for responding to my little ramble 😚
You’re so welcome 💖🥰💖
Oof, characters can get annoying. I still have some from when I was a Teeny-Weeny Whaley, which is a pretty good record of remembering concepts, but nothing can stay on your mind consistently without stretching its stay at times.
I love them, but they can drive…[Read more]
