And just when I thought I wouldn’t have to post on here for a while…

So, today I collapsed multiple times. I’m not hurt, I fell into a chair the first time, I was on my knees when it happened the second time, and the third time it was into loose, rounded gravel. I didn’t faint, since I didn’t black out at any point, my legs just gave up I…[Read more]

I started on his hands and legs and then decided it wasn’t worth the effort rn, it’s late at night

lol relatable

Love the face! Your art has improved so much!

@whalekeeper

I can kinda work Zoom, as can my sister. Google Meet works too, as does Microsoft Teams (but that’s a more grown-up/school/work thing, so probably not super useful around here).

Thanks for the advice! *muttters emotion, emooootiooon*

Right. I have the power to kill all ground-dwelling parasites and send my goat kiddos into the…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

It’s a beautiful site! I find it pretty easy to navigate. I like how you’ve taken the foundational pieces of KP like the different sections in the forum community and built on them to make something a little more elaborate. The project pages look AMAZING. It’s great to have a place to share work under one’s profile. I also love…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oh, hah, I thought you were talking about during tonight’s sprint. Yeah, writing sessions would be fun!

@whalekeeper

I can send y’all an email to connect the emails if you guys don’t have them already! We usually just use Google Meet, create a meeting, and then send the link out through email.

@whalekeeper

That would be really fun! We should do it. It wouldn’t be unpractical, and might help a lot with writers block etc.

In my outline, I marked this section as “harvest.” It’s them working on the farm… although nothing seems to be happening, so I’m trying to figure how to move the plot along.

Also researching about using goats in…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I might be able to join you halfway through. Hopefully. That would be fun.

I think I’ll get a head start on my 2,000 words now… (12):14.

@loopylin

Ok, thank you so much!

I guess my main question right now is how did your dad feel being in a completely different culture? What was the culture shock like and how did he view this new place as an American?

@whalekeeper

Is there a reason why you want to set the story in Africa? Maybe you just want a fresh but still realistic setting,…

So, I haven’t read what other people have said, so if I accidentally repeat them sorry.

This might sound weird, but imagine your story in a make-believe country. Does it affect the plot? Is the story drastically changed? If it’s not by putting it in a hypothetical country, then you should be able to change the setting.

As for researching, I have…[Read more]

*screams*

FFFFRRRREEEEEEDDDDDOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!! So glad to have you back!!!!! Oooo! Where can I get this 2nd addition?!?!?!

@keilah-h

Lol. That makes so much more sense. I like that first season a lot, especially Nugget and the thwaps. What did you think of it?

Ok! I’ll have to go find it then. *Poofs off into a search engine*

@keilah-h

That’s awesome! We haven’t gotten our parents into it (listened to the first book with them, and Mama read Arttham’s part in the end, so he’s her favorite character now. But not into the show really.). My sister and I did manage to get a girl we worked with onto them. We watched all the first season, and then what we could get for free…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Love this topic XD

Saving this to come back to later since I’m busy with school rn, but I love history so hopefully my reply will be nice and long and full of ideas for you! XD

@whalekeeper

Yay! Looking forward to it. Hope the fancy meeting trip goes well. 😎

@esther-c

A story set in Africa? Sounds great to me! I do see what you mean about the culture difference, and I’m just going to say up front that it’s a good thing you recognize the need to study instead of going with stereotypes! Still, don’t let it hold you back. If changing the setting ends up being the answer, that’s ok, but research doesn’t…[Read more]

I would personally love to see you write a book set in Africa. It’s a beautiful place with a rich tapestry of cultural history. And research can be broken down into manageable bites. Mountains don’t have to be climbed in a day. 😉

@esther-c

First of all, cultural research?! You have my mostly undivided but prone to rabbit trailing attention. Now, Africa is very big and is as diverse in people groups, religions, climates, and cultures as most other continents. I would get an idea of where you’re sending your charies first to narrow down the scope of what you’re tackling.…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Hey hey!! I was so excited to see your username pop up in my notifs! 🤗 It’s so good to hear from you again!! <33

Ahhh, yesss, I’m doing The Next C. S. Lewis training too!! I’m so excited! Writing hasn’t been the greatest for me right now, so I’m hoping that will get me out of my rut and give me the motivation I need to start…[Read more]
