that’s disturbing.
do you think you’ll find out what happened?

@elishavet-pidyon

You have a good point. I always like it when books flip gender stereotypes without being weird about it. I read a book once where one of the MCs, a knight, enjoyed knitting. He was still a man, he just knit stuff.

@trailblazer

*shudders* Yeah, nothing short of a call from God could ever induce me to send my kids to public school. And my kids aren’t going to be allowed to date until they’re 16 either.

My first written story was about a squirrel who drank coffee and eventually saved his father from an owl by using coffee. I am very imaginative, and I come up with stories often, but almost none of them are written.

@whalekeeper

WHAT HAPPENED?

You can’t say that and just leave!!!

@whalekeeper

The first stories I wrote were for a writing circle I was in when I was very little. I know I wrote an story about a pet bat which was named ‘Bat’, and one called ‘Pontoon Boat Catastrophe’, which I still have, actually. I posted it over a year ago in Sara’s ‘what’s the cringiest thing you’ve ever written forum’.

Are you okay???

The first stories I remember writing were 2nd grade assignments. In one, this group of ducks, Helen, Joy, Valentine, and Lulu, were at home being babysat by this really cool babysitter (I think her name was Lila, and she was both a police officer and a princess) who was taking them out to go toilet paper people’s houses. I’d just found out that…[Read more]

Hey, here’s an idea. I have come across some lessons to help improve characters. There are five of them. What if we went through them together, both taking one or two characters that readers felt were flat (that would be Charles and Thom for me) and see what comes out of it? We could invite others to join as well. If we don’t lik…

Mateo

Mateo broke his gaze with Celarent to look at his little friend. He contemplated for a moment, then spoke, “Fine, but you,” he pointed at Celarent, “Better choose your words more carefully.”

@ellette-giselle

XD The second one reminds me of a time at co-op when I mentioned I hadn’t liked a book because I couldn’t connect to the characters, and this one guy just looked at me and said “Because they’re fictional.” He must lead a sad life.

@elishavet-pidyon

thanks!!!!

@whalekeeper

Me too!

🤣

@koshka

*gasps in relief and grabs his hand like a lifeline.* NO! Not at all! I’d love to!

(my life is a wreck this week, in case you haven’t noticed. 🤣)

We redecorated the neighborhood, so to speak.

That is amazing! This two have got an awesome relationship! I can’t wait to read their book!

Congratulations of the Book 3 progress! I can’t wait, even though I haven’t been able to read Broken Shackles yet.  My library couldn’t purchase it for some reason and I’m broke, BUT I’m trying to get a job and that’s one of the first things I’ll buy when I have money. 🙂

@liberty

Great board!

@koshka

yes!! I do!!! Can I be adopted too?!?? 🥹🥺

Rory

Rory drew in a slow breath as Leo turned off the flame. For a moment that awful scene had threatened to flash through his mind. Thankfully, he’d fought it back.
This time.
