I love MG! That’s the age range I read most! I would assume this novel would be contemporary too?

What did/do you enjoy about your favorite MG novels?

Kids were allowed to be kids and have fun adventures outdoors, with minimal parental supervision. The MCs were independent, intelligent, and realistic. They’re more relatable than YA,…[Read more]

We are in our basement right now under a tornado warning. Prayers would be appreciated.

@rae

Glad you’re feeling better!

@esther-c

Praying! Darn midwestern tornado season.

I’m sorry guys, Mateo might kill someone soon… or blow something up

Mateo

Mateo suddenly stopped playing. “How about I end yours?” His voice became lower, his eyes pierced Celarent’s, striking fear into him in Mateo’s unnatural way.

@linus-smallprint

Yippy!!!

*Considers playing The Game on brothers*

Nah, way too risky.

@linus-smallprint

Hmmm.

So basically I made you lose by asking what the game is?

@loopylin

but gave up before finishing

#relatable

The body language and expressions in the 1st and 4th panels especially are amazing XD

@loopylin

Aw cute!!!!

My friends and I did Henna together! Her brother is a missonary and had just gotten back from the wedding of a girl from India. The girls of the village knew that he had sisters, and they gifted him a whole bunch of henna. We put on a girly movie and did the art from the inside of the first finger all the way up to the bend in the…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I am still confused about this.

What is the game, and how have I lost it?

@theducktator

No worries! Thanks for responding!

@whalekeeper @raxforge

Celarent

Mateo didn’t even know what school was? Celarent sighed. “It’s where you learn stuff. If you want to get anywhere in life, you better figure that out.” He paused. “Oh, right. You aren’t going anywhere in life anyway.” Mateo ought to get expelled. Celarent hadn’t spent days forging paperwork just to attend class…[Read more]

I have a related question. I need help on several other character’s reactions to the fact that one will die, particularly her best friend and grandfather.

@elishavet-elroi

I love Grace Livingston Hill so much! My great grandmother had a beach house, and it was full of old romance novels. Her GLH books were what got me into romance.

@trailblazer

I had several fanfics for the Boxcar Children when I was younger. The one actually had a coherent plot, which is more than I can say for most of my WIPs. XD

I have no idea. I read so many things as a child, and while I still love many of them, I’m not sure how much influence which ones have had on my writing. XD The Green Ember definitely influenced my first WIP though.

@raxforge

Sorry I took so long to respond here. I saw this when I was sick and forgot to get back to it. Anyway, I enjoyed that and don’t really have feedback beyond what others have said.

@esther-c

Hallie NO. I spent that whole scene with that sinking feeling that a character was about to do something stupid and she did. *sigh*

She felt petite next to him, although she had never been the tallest girl around at five feet four inches.

Antonio wasn’t that tall. Hallie guessed that he couldn’t be over five feet ten inches.

My dad is…[Read more]
