Lol!

I agree that it’s good to get good rest, and generally best to sleep and wake up early. However, I think the exhaustion of adulthood is often life itself. XD Yes, good sleep makes it better, as does understanding different ways to truly rest and good time management. But I wouldn’t dare look at the young mom and say “if you…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That meme feels way too relatable.

@ellette-giselle

hmmm, guess what?? I wake up at 5:00. I am never tired like this unless I’ve been sick. There is something wrong with you night people…..

I don’t argue that there isn’t something up with us, but at least we don’t go jumping out of bed before the sun.

Kinda random, but did you…[Read more]

I think it’s a fern that’s young fronds grow as little blue curls and can be coiled into pellets. It’s usually wound around a certain red berry and dried. The fern has a fresh green taste while the berry is supper tart and bitter. When steeped into a tea, it’s a dark purple color and usually drunk with several spoonfuls of honey.

@whalekeeper

Ugh. XD Comes up in 80% of conversations. Small talk when the weather isn’t really interesting.

Adult life shouldn’t be like this. We should sleep more. Although, considering the people I work with are either busy middle aged folk or young parents of small children, people have reasons to be tired. If it’s not lack of sleep…[Read more]

@keilah-h

never mind that it doesn’t make BIBLICAL sense, nothing about that law even makes SCIENTIFIC sense.

As someone who is not getting used to hearing weird politically correct phraseology in Health textbooks, I would honestly like this on a T-shirt please.

@whalekeeper

Lol. He starts off sounding reliable. But he happens to believe a similar lie to the MC, so partway into the story you get to suddenly realize something doesn’t add up.

Or at least, that’s the plan. Who knows. I might make him the only person who knows the truth, but make that truth kinda hard to believe. We’ll see.

The prophesy…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I don’t think it would be a good thing if Leo deserted his current authoress… especially for the resident psychopath.. XD

I’m actually very excited about this Fairy project, and I think if it’s finished, Leo stands a good chance of getting written too. (And getting written better than he would be now.) That’s my theory. Don’t…[Read more]

*Snort*

….

That’s not too bad a title, if you want it. The Resident Psychopath.

The difference my dear, is that I only kill characters if I have a good enough reason.

@ellette-giselle

*Squeaks*

Just felt bad leaving Leo where he was and returning to MG.

XD

I think madam, you may be dubbed The Lady Letter Opener, if others agree. You have both steel and letters in thy arsenal, so steel for letters in thy gift. *Curtsey*

Honestly call yourself what you want. I named myself the Nursery Rhymer, and I hardly…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

XD I think it’s you. I didn’t remember and had to go back and check, but yeah. You are officially triggered.

Cookie looking siblings,

Oops. Cookie loving. How did I get a typo in a pretyped, typo-less blurb…

@whalekeeper

Ma’am. Please introduce your story in more detail. I am currently working on a whimsy story of fairies, cozy homes, and evil people-eating rabbits. We have a few things in common and I would love to hear about your project.

Hmm, I do see similarities. Okay, here’s the blurb:

Cookie looking siblings, a begrudgingly helpful fairy, a…[Read more]

@power

I’m not in the competition, I just thought Ellette’s comment was funny.

@ellette-giselle

Eh, not in a good long time, and only when my brother was first starting out in it, so to speak. I definitely couldn’t hold my own against a real 14th century knight.

But I’m also learning a lot of medical stuff right now…so I could probably…[Read more]

@theducktator

Book recs?? *Squeals* okay, here’s a few of my favorite whimsy books.

A Place to Hang the Moon by Late Albus

The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill

East by Edith Pattou (this one does get kinda darkish, but as in, it’s a rewrite of a Norwegian fairytale where there are evil trolls who let freeze people to death)

@loopylin

Alrighty! XD And no time pressure. I need to focus on getting a first draft right now anyway, so I’m not asking for scheduled edits or anything. Lol.

Just tried to sort out a title for myself and lapsed into a poetic paragraph reflecting on my self-perceptions. What utter rot. XD I’m not so nice as I think myself. What an uncomfortable, shivery feeling that is.

I am chaos. I am quiet. An echo of sorts. I am that feeling you get when you sneak gummy worms into your dormmate’s sleeping bag. I am…

@loopylin

I’m honestly a bit tired of dark stuff and stories that “deal with hard themes”. We need more silliness and whimsy. The real world is full of it. Maybe we should reflect it more in our writing.

A hundred and ten percent agree. We need more whimsy and light.

@loopylin

Ahhh, me too oOoOO… fairies…..

I was actually just thinking about getting someone to read over the first chapter and prologue and give me feedback. I know it’s got spots that sort of dragged, but I literally just finished that chapter a few minutes ago and so I didn’t want to look at it myself. (Actually trying a new writing habit…[Read more]
