Answering these for my characters now, starting with Ayla.

What’s one place you’ve never been to, but have always wanted to visit?

Narnia! Need I say more?

What is something you dislike about yourself?

I can’t focus on anything. Not school nor people…what’s going on in my head is more interesting, but then I have to ask people to repeat thing…[Read more]

@loopylin

I like Brussel sprouts. XD Mel, do you do any sports? What kind of shoes do you like to wear?

@whalekeeper

😂😂😂 That’s just the first mildly terrifying thing I could think of.

@freed_and_redeemed

YAY!!!!

LOVE THEM!!!

This Riker face claim is WAY better then the last one you used.

AHHH!!! So excited for the third book!!!

@linus-smallprint

I dunno. I like that movie a lot, but it never came to mind while I wrote this scene.

These one sentence time skips aren’t bad, I just have a habit of missing them and then getting confused. Bad habit, that.  The whole escape happened so fast and I kept missing things that I had no idea why they were suddenly in the mo…

Loosing Aelic has been the most heartbreaking thing I have experienced since Adrian’s death. Aelic was such a dear brother, and we all love…

“For those who don’t understandm, Once upon a side salad, in the floating vegetable continent of Broccolonia, a chicken named Sir Cluckles the Fifth woke up wearing a monocle and speaking fluent Morse code. He wasn’t always so sophisticated—last Tuesday he was just a spoon. Broccolonia was ruled by a jellybean with an MBA named K…

 but the beginning doesn’t include any huge brave decisions because it’s setting up the status quo.

He could make a minor brave decision like a phone call. If your world has phone calls.

@keilah-h

Yes! Agreed.

At least Martin made the right choice. I would argue his death scene was the most frightening one I’ve written.

@whalekeeper

haha!!!

Oh yes, absolutely.

@whalekeeper

Oh really? I love them. It’s so fun to start tying them together in subtle ways.

In the first one, all three end up frequenting the same cafe at different times, and only a few readers pick that up because I never state the name, but I describe the surroundings the same. Things like that.

One of the MC’s works with another…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ooo! Cool!

I did one with the first book in the series and I’ve decided to keep going with it thought the whole trilogy.

@whalekeeper

Nope, he’s an MC. But it’s a three-way POV, so there are two other MCs.

He’s also an interesting character because of his job…. so he has that going for him.

@koshka

Nooooo! The twins have separated!!!  😱

@koshka

Ooo! Yay!

Is your sister going with you?

@hybridlore

I know poor Aelic. This is my fourth time though that scene as a draft, (read it several times just for fun) and it still gets me. Ugh.

(I’m wondering what’s happening to Aiden now that Martin believed and died too. It would have been tough to see his brother and his cousin killed like that.)

I know!!! The poor kid! 😱

Guess we’…[Read more]

@koshka

Ooo yay! Graduation!

oh! So are you leaving home, or is it close enough to access?

@whalekeeper

no, not really! I like her ideas. I have written quiet moody characters, but I don’t know if they’re quite like this.

I have a current moody character, but he’s not super likeable. (except that he happens to be all my reader’s favorite) he’s doing the right thing, but he kinda hates the world. (and has good reason to) But then he…[Read more]
