I love you and will always be happy to support and pray with you as my friend.

That is very sweet of you to say, Elishavet. I also love you. I appreciate this and I am always willing to do the same for you. <3

Also totally willing to answer questions to the best of my ability.

I will keep that in mind. And thank you for your…[Read more]

Okay. Something weird just happened with the submission. Does it look duplicated for everyone else?

Ari

Kind? Moth thought he was kind? The fairy king really hadn’t been around many people.

Still, his face softened, eyes bright, as he slid his last arrow into his quiver. No one had ever called him kind.

His full quiver bounced against his hip as he walked back. He glanced at Ellis, then picked up his own bow. So…[Read more]

Moth

“I cannot believe I have people to talk to. It is odd to say, but I am not accustomed to this — this spoiled lifestyle. Being with people — doing things, having small conversation — to everyone else this is normal, but for me… Perhaps it sounds silly, but these trivial things are rare to me. Thank you both for asking my…[Read more]

I mean, even if not, his parents feel kind of absent even though they are active royals.

@ellette-giselle

HA don’t expect anything too silly

@loopylin

O.O

Did they disappear?

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Ari says yes. I don’t know what to RP for him saying that though.

@loopylin @koshka

Moth

Moth looked from Ellis to Ari, and set down his bow as well. “May I say something that is a little embarrassing for me?”

@loopylin

To be clear, I’m just curious to know what y’all think and I have no intention of getting heated.

@reaganramm @power

Hey! Quick question, since you’re talking about the Holy Spirit!

I’ve had friends and acquaintances who say that you have to experience Holy Spirit through a sign like speaking in tongues, and if you don’t, you aren’t saved. There’s also the alternate belief that you can be saved without the Spirit, but the ideal place in…[Read more]

@loopylin

My mother was, though

Is she dead?

@ellette-giselle

Ah, yes, me when writing last night

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Ari

His eyebrow rose, but he made no other response. The statement didn’t seem to require one.

He hadn’t meant to give advice, only observe. Warn maybe. Why did you even open your mouth, Verenion?

No matter. He reached for his quiver.

It was empty. Perfect.

With a muttered, “don’t shoot me yet,” he set down his bow…[Read more]

@loopylin @whalekeeper

*panicking because I haven’t actually decided what exactly Ellis is*

*Pained laughter because this is too relatable*

Ari

The boy’s mother? That was more human then, more than Ari’s blood.

No, the Elder are only cursed.

“Your brother?” He shook his head. “I’ve seen you around. Saw him when you first came in…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Pardon me bringing this back, lol. It just struck me suddenly today without me thinking about it. Jim wasn’t a Christian when he died, I don’t think. Right?

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Poor Ellis.

Ari

He spared the boy a glance, then reached up and tucked back the hair that covered his pointed ears.

“Not likely.”

The doctor here at the school had tried to sort him into some nice category or other when he’d first arrived. Ari shot off another arrow. It had been a year since he’d since he’d seen the…[Read more]

Moth

”I suppose it would not harm you to worry a little,” Moth told Ellis. “Not much.”

@quicksilverwyvern

Flashbacks are useful literary devices. They can drop hints of mystery, clues to the story, or explain secrets.

Just have a good idea of how you’re using them in the book before you dive in. I don’t know how many times I’ve started writing something only to realize half-way through that it didn’t fit with the story. So, are…[Read more]
