100%

Go look at Alcatraz if anyone disagrees with that statement,

@hybridlore

Lolol. you seemed pretty convinced…… 😂

Well, the overseers are cruel and they picked Ian as their target. They want him to live in the absolute terror that he could slip up any moment and that would be the end. It’s a terror that drives him crazy. He already had that rebellious spark and a sort of fire about him to begin with,…[Read more]

Oh my gosh. That’s dreadful. I’ll be praying.

Rory

Rory let out a slow breath. He even gave Leo a slight smile as they road up the elevator. He was still turning the older boy’s words over in his mind. It didn’t make much sense. After all, they said that fear was weakness and that’s why they were punishing him and the others. Rory chewed on his lip and then quickly stopped,…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Yay!

(I kind of want to tag some people who haven’t read book one yet to see how well I can provide context in book II, but maybe I will wait for a later draft for that. what do you think?)

One of my pet peeves is when authors provide tons of context about book I in book II. If you start at the middle book in a series, then y…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

I do want to hear their sides. XD

Paisley’s crying? Now I feel bad…sort of. XD

@beth-torres

Your characters can run into one of mine. ^

Ryla

Ryla watched at Liko returned to his work. Great. Now she had to talk to more people. Not really sure where she was going, she wandered down a nearby hallway. Maybe no one would talk to her. She couldn’t decide whether that would be good or bad.

Vyette

Vyette pulled her schedule out of her bag. Her first subject was Foreign Literature. She…[Read more]

@liberty

Ooo! No I haven’t!!

@linus-smallprint

Think so?

I mostly write fiction so it would be interesting.

Maybe if I did a fiction-like sort of retelling… like how Little Women is Alcott’s biography but with a few fiction twists. That might make it easier to write.

@linus-smallprint

one more book I can’t remember the name of where two children discover a hidden town by a lake during summer holidays. (All I remember is that the boy has braces, which remind the girl of a car’s bumper. I think the boy’s name was Julian.)

Gone-Away Lake! I love that book!

I could survive Laerylia during the beginning of the first book. I’d need to stay inside at night, carry a weapon, say nothing against the Sacrifice, not voice my support for President Lotan, avoid the High Priest, and not be at all powerful. After Lotan’s assassination, things get more complicated as those who have ever voiced support for him are…[Read more]

Celarent

Celarent picked himself up off the ground and dusted himself off, relieved that Mateo had let go of him. Somehow, the all consuming fear had left him. He turned to Bird Boy and gave him his most charming grin, hoping to fix the terrible first impression he’d just made. “Thank you. Where is this Foreign Culture class?”

@linus-smallprint

Lololol. We must remember that I wrote that when I was much younger and wasn’t fully sure where I stood… 😂

Okay then. If that works then that’s great!

The fire thing was actually one of my favorite memories!! I want to write a book about it sometime. (I’d like to write about the whole experience of having church during…[Read more]

@koshka

Okay!

“I met a knight once. He got it by writing some three hundred line long poem about something or other. Thinnest, most absent minded man I ever saw.”

I. Just. Died.

Rory

Rory’s brow furrowed and a frightened look came to his eyes. “I…” he swallowed and licked his lips. “I think we have knights. We call them Agents… the…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Yay!!! He’s back!!

That would definitely work better, giving Julian some time to come to terms with his grief.

Perfect. I made the switch this morning actually.

Why is the first thing that comes to mind the scene from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie?

ya know…. that works. I think I had a scene from my own mind in my…[Read more]

@liberty

*grin* Yup. That never works for an excuse!

Yup. lololol.

Actually, that scene with Leon was inspired by a true account I read! Wonder if it’s the same one?

@koshka

ball’s in your court ma’am. i have no idea where we’re going.

Rory

Rory walked beside Leo, trying to force the limp from his steps. His mind was slowly working over what Leo had said, and he risked a glance at the older boy. “Leo… what’s knighted?”
