@esther-c

The job that was interested in him was based in Atlanta, and decided that they wanted to hire more local people who could work in person, so that didn’t work out because we’re in Indiana. He’s officially off work tomorrow, so hopefully he’ll be able to find something soon. Meanwhile, he has a part time job with UPS until January 15th,…[Read more]

<3 praying!

Also please pray that the rest of my family will stay healthy, because whatever he has seems pretty bad.

Hey guys, please pray for my little brother, he’s sick rn and has an awful cough and is really miserable right now.

Livia

“It’s not just my motivation…” Liv searched his eyes, desperately wanting–needing him to understand. “I have seasonal depression,” she lowered her eyes. “I—I don’t like talking about it, and I hate putting a label on myself, but it’s true. It’s always been hard, but with Xandro gone,” she bit her lip, a sob building in her c…[Read more]

Livia

Liv sighed, letting him hold her for a few seconds.

“I’m sorry…I know I haven’t been the best friend,” she pulled out her phone and showed him all the unread and unanswered messages. “I haven’t had the motivation to do anything lately.”

“Live, Laugh, Love. If that doesn’t work, Load, Aim, Fire.” -A bumper sticker I saw

@savannah_grace2009

*screams* I use the guinea pig analogy all the time! I’ve struggled with school and my mom can’t help me because she doesn’t know what she’s doing, but now my siblings are in those grades and mom can actually help them! How many younger siblings do you have?

Am I the only one here who has never wanted an older brother?

@esther-c

I’m also tired of the “oh no it’s cold we’d better snuggle together for warmth” trope. Dress for the weather!

@whalekeeper

or example, in the series I’m reading, seven books have passed and the heroine has finally realized her crush likes her back. The hints were agonizingly obvious. He was giving you gifts, girl. He initiated a unique telepathic connection with you. His friends have openly joked about your feelings for each other.

Keeper of the Lost Cities?

@esther-c

I’m pretty sure I have more, but here’s nine.

1. NO. MATURE. RELATIONSHIPS. BETWEEN. CHILDREN. I have read about 2 books ever that had elementry/middle school relationships well written. I don’t care if in real life 12 year olds date. I don’t want to read about it.
2. Love at first sight. It’s not love, it’s just attraction.
3. Why are…

I can relate to the blue belt one, lol

@whalekeeper

JIU-JITSU MEMEMES?!?!?!? Yes please

@koshka   @whalekeeper

Aannnddd I’m left in the dust. What is it with you night owls?

oh boy, you mention “doctor” and Rory’ll flip out bad.

You don’t want to see that.

Rory

When Barnes actually took off her mask, Rory started in surprise a little. He had been preparing to surprise her and somehow get it off. He needed to see the face b…[Read more]

@esther-c

I agree with @koshka and @elishavet-pidyon

I would also add,

1. A lot of physical contact before marriage

2. Only being able to have a relationship when alone. I prefer that one of the first times this couple is alone is when he asks her to marry him. Show them getting to know each others families, hanging out at church, spending…[Read more]

@liberty

Yes, and the weird thing is I got two emails at once both saying the same thing. It’s like my last registration actually went through….. I hope being signed up two times isn’t a problem.

Livia

“Livia, are you okay?”

She blinked hard, still refusing to make eye contact.

She formed the moisture into the form of a horse, letting it gallop around on her palm.

She missed Xandro. 

She let the water fall off her hand and into the churning waters below.

Finally, she let out a shuddering sigh, and turned to face…[Read more]

@esther-c

Ohhhh yeah I understand!!!

Still, I change my book so many times that I’m used to it lollll

YAYYYYYYYYY I’m so excited!!!!!!

@esther-c

Naw, you’re good! I haven’t touched that one in a while actually. It’s a completed first draft, I’ve just been too scared to edit it. 🫣😂 I’m actually drafting a contemporary NA romance that starts in the Midwest but mostly takes place in ✨i t a l y✨. I started it in November, but I’m not even halfway through yet. I didn’t make writing…
