@linus-smallprint A little weird that the lyens would entrust the naming of their young to a species they think is inferior, but at least it makes sense now.

and yeah, judging from what I’ve seen on kentor names so far, Anamyth and Opitarus make sense too. I can’t tell on Iskyagus, but it seems like he should probably be a kentor as well, or some…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

It hasn’t been discouraging, as much as I was frustrated with myself because I felt like my writing ability was broken. I think Alcatraz has been messing with that.

Oh I am going to make him die just so that you never know what happened! That would drive reader’s insane!! That is such a good idea. I hadn’t thought of that!!!

I…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

btw, I’ve got to know.

Did you think Noah was dead?

@linus-smallprint

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much!!

I am so, so happy! I felt like I was doing what you said, but each time you told me to do it again, and it was one of those things that was just out of reach.

I ended up deleting what I had written for this section after I read it to see where it was going, and then I just went for it. I…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Righto.I should post as soon as I can after you or Keilah responds, so if you don’t get tagged I guess take a look.

@keilah-h

Here is another LONG section!!!

Aaron straightened slowly at the sound of the whistle that called for the work day’s end. His shoulder’s ached horribly and his raw hands burned. The callouses cou…

@linus-smallprint

Sometimes, just describing other things they’re doing with their body language is helpful. For example, observing a conversation between my sisters that’s going on right now, I can see a lot of things they’re doing that don’t involve looking at one another:

• Blowing bubbles with gum
• Toying with the carpet
• Cupping their…

@linus-smallprint

By the way, does anyone have any advice on writing things happening during a conversation? I need more things than ‘character1 looked at/glanced at/stared at/turned to/anything else involving looking at character2′.

Do they fidget or have any nervous habits?

@linus-smallprint

Hmm, I like it!

Let’s see. How about nothing to do with the characters. Mention what’s going on around them. Someone shouted something, pans clattered, wind picked up, a bird chirped, children giggled. Etc. That might help.

The Monastery of Spinjitzu

will I never be rid of the influence of Lego ninjago

I’m joking btw, it’s not a bad Lego theme (I mean the TV show gets really dark sometimes but besides that, I’m talking about the theme itself)

@linus-smallprint ooh interesting! Alan is joining Stripe’s cause?

One question: What’s up with the names Cyrus, Anamynth, Iskyagus and Opitarus? Are these lyens? Kinda odd, because all the lyen names up to this point have been cat-related, and I can’t see any connections with these names.

also I have literally no idea how to go about a…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint LOLLLLLL

you missed Mexico and New Zealand though.

Now, if those two countries happen to be underwater when Canada undertakes its conquest, then I can’t say I blame you.

@linus-smallprint

Okay, now I’m starting to believe that sign.

@linus-smallprint

I literally saw this on my way home from work. I could not restrain myself. Sorry Linus.

@linus-smallprint

Yay! The tag worked!

I am curious what this hat looks like. Is this one of those flat hats, with a brim that goes over the eyes?

I’m not sure. This is what it looks like:

Is this the first time you have left Aaron’s perspective?

Yessssss………. but I was thinking about doing it in the next section and wanted to do it m…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Haha!!! I have No idea what you are talking about. It’s not like I’m driving and my dad says, “Turn left” so I hold up my hands just to make sure which way is left………………..

@linus-smallprint @keilah-h

The next morning, Aaron was so sore he could hardly walk. He staggered downstairs and found Alicia in the kitchen, fixing breakfast. Sabina was upstairs getting the little children dressed. Alicia looked up when Aaron entered. “Good morning, Aaron.” She nodded toward the table. “Sabina left that for you.”

Aaron walked…

@linus-smallprint

Sure thing!

@linus-smallprint

No problem. I’m only a little bit eager for you to read this because as soon as you are done I can send it to me editor……. no pressure. I don’t know why @keilah-h has dropped out of this. I’m guessing she’s still reading…..

Do you want me to tag you again if you have not responded by Thursday, in case for some reason…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

That’s it? I wait for four days to get a response from anyone and I get one sentence! I am affronted! lol. XD

Nope, not sent to war, though I wouldn’t put it past the Empire. Right now it’s just forced labor. With a teeny, weeny bit of pay.

I should post tomorrow so keep an eye out.

@linus-smallprint  @keilah-h

In case anyone is interested, I did a Joseph aesthetic.
