Awesome.

Probably good advice. I would, but it’s already in his backstory, and I didn’t want to go back and change it now.

And I mostly just lost it when I realized that this, being a modern real life setting, I couldn’t go sort through or make up the customs and laws myself, like I could for nearly any of my other WIPs.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ah, thank you! This is a lot of helpful information.

Okay, so the kid is in Canada at the time (Quebec) as that’s the family residence. I have found a bit of legal stuff for Canada by now, but haven’t started looking into the American side. This is so beautifully concise (which legal documents are definitely not).

This is…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @koshka
Fabulous! (Co-author hopping in) That’s very helpful.

I will say, the parents do not work for the government. The organization is a “private investigation” style thing separate from all governments like the Pinkertons, although they have worked alongside governments in time of need. (They are connected to the Witness…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Okay, thanks though. Neither do I.

*Uncertain laughter*

@stephie

Hmmm, not a bad idea. I’ll look into that.

@ellette-giselle

Alrighty. =)

Also not certain exactly how an ongoing murder investigation would pan out/effect things, when there’s no clear suspect or solid evidence besides the dad’s work (Parents were…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Noooooooooooo!!!!!

@whalekeeper

I’m good with that! It’s a fun group of expected differences and surprising similarities.

@loopylin That would be interesting. 😂 I have a feeling she fights rough.

I guess I should answer Hugo’s question, lol.

“Physical education. All the high school kids will be there.” Hugo said it lightly, but there was a pause at the…[Read more]

@theshadow

I’m not an expert on this, but would say that as long as the song itself does not glorify sin, it probably falls in with eating meat sacrificed to idols. Paul teaches that one person may be able to eat it with the understanding that God made all things and the food is just food and can be eaten to glorify God instead, but another…[Read more]

This one’s fascinating. I like him, even though he’s probably not a great guy… yup. You said he’s a villain. Oh well. XD Let’s see…

The board is both straight forward and mysterious, so I’m guessing the character is pretty similar. The child aspects are most interesting to me, since I can’t tell if they represent him or someone he…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh joy! Oh exultation!

I haven’t been able to really look at this thread in a bit. (Been up to my elbows in royal icing.) Now oh!

I’m so excited. It’s this book! Hooray!

I love Cassion and Rory’s boards. They’re perfect.

Do you have a scene with sliding around on sock feet? It would be delightfully light-hearted for a book w…[Read more]

And technically he’s from Quebec, do some stuff is in French. Which is certainly interesting, just not helpful. O_o

@whalekeeper

That would be lovely. I might just have to recruit you, if I can find stuff.

I did find something called the Youth Act, but while it had a lot of instructions for foster organizations, it didn’t seem to have any for a kid who has no parents left.

@whalekeeper

Any call for assistance is greatly appreciated. I have no clue who to tag.

(Totally didn’t freak out when I realized that since this book is technically set in the real world it has to at least look believable, and I can’t just write the law myself. Fantasy author problems)

@theducktator

Well, it wasn’t Google’s expertise either.…[Read more]

@liberty

I just revived it. 🙂

There were two “recent” ones, and either will work. I tagged you in the one that had more activity by current KPers, lol. You can also make a new one if you wanted. Whichever you want. 🙂

This looks more promising. It’s definitely more general than the other at least… Not sure which came first. Anyway.

Anyone find songs they want to share? Or songs they found that reminded them of other people’s characters? I’ll be happy to reciprocate.

Just tagging…
