You’re fine, girrll XD We all need breaks from sitting at a computer for hours on end

@godlyfantasy12 Hiiii! It would be so cool if you joined!! I gotta get back to work so I can’t do a whole explanation atm, but if you just read the first couple rps that I wrote, it should explain the basic premise

@whalekeeper I’m available Saturdays and weekdays after 5pm pst. But don’t worry about fitting me in if my time doesn’t work with other people’s time. I don’t mind missing it

@godlyfantasy12

Glad to help :]

Yeah, it’s a lot of fun to find ideas that way! I understand taking long breaks from roleplaying though. The book’s gotta be written.

Hey guys! Time to talk about this writing zoom call idea. If anyone is interested, please let me know what your time zone is, and when you’re usually free. I’ll try to arrange a time when the most people can get together.

The idea for this call is to have a few writing…[Read more]

@rae @whalekeeper

He’d bled on the floor more times than he cared to tell her. He hoped she wouldn’t notice more faint stains.

Something had spilled on another corner of the rug. She stopped, planted her feet on the floor, and pointed. “What about this blood?”

Lol, you can’t hide, Gabriel

Just in her own little world rn

@rae @keilah-h @whalekeeper

Mel

The rug under Mel’s feet looked soft, so she sat down on it and began stroking the fur. The voices from the others blurred together in an abstract painting behind her. Something about monsters and home. Her hand sank deeper into the fur and she found herself stuck in the repetitive motion of combing her fingers…[Read more]

Lucille

Lucy took a deep breath of the flowers, and passed some of them to Mel. This sniff test required a two-person court.

While the adults talked, Lucy watched Gabriel quietly, then glanced around the room. She wandered around, analyzing everything, from the table to the many skins.

Something had spilled on another…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

So you’re trying to present Ara’s world to the reader before the inciting incident happens, and you don’t know how to translate the inner world to the outer world?
If so, wait a minute. We have the same problem. I’m trying to write the same thing. XD

The best I can say is to come up with a meaningful, but normal situation that re…[Read more]

I was just reminded that I have an old Ellis drawing that I never shared (I don’t think?)@anyonewhowantstosee

the outfit isn’t really accurate but it’s close enough. Also the skin color and background colors are kinda weird but it’s fine

Also yeah, like @elishavet-pidyon said! Writing calls! I’m not sure how to make it accessible to everyone because not everyone uses Google chat. Which is what I normally use for calls. But we can figure it out.

@godlyfantasy12

You wrote more than 50k words, which is a lot of emotional effort when writing the series of your dreams. So first off, that’s awesome. You’ll have plenty of material to edit. You’re definitely burnt out from that. That sounds normal to me.

I’m currently at an ADORABLE bookshop/cafe and slowly wanting and feeling the nudge to g…

Callum

The Stormwatcher legacy was impressive. Scary, even. Callum could imagine having visions, since he already knew half of the experience. Ellis had something to contribute to his family – something helpful. Maybe it didn’t require much ingenuity, which was something Callum needed because he had no born powers. But it sounded…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ellis

“Yes.” Ellis paused, thinking of how to explain. He had never had to before. He lightly touched his forehead where the blue diamond-shaped mark was. “I have a sort of extra eye. When it opens, I can see important moments in time. Many of my ancestors had the same ability, and they were able to use it to defend our kingd…[Read more]

Lucille

Hydras were from storybooks, and even then, Lucy wasn’t exactly sure what they were. They sounded worse than a copperhead at any rate.

“Was that your blood?” she asked, pointing at the rug.

@rae

Let your crew know. You shouldn’t be concerned about how strong or weak you look.  That’s a minor issue. Falling over is a major issue. I’m not trying to wildly speculate, but isn’t there a possibility that you lose balance on a boat and pitch over? If you don’t tell anyone, there’s a risk of hitting your head or worse.

Many, many people…[Read more]

@rae

Works with me :] I will switch them on the doc

@keilah-h @loopylin

Lucille

“Is this where you lived with that old man? Your master?” Lucy asked.

@loopylin

Callum

Somewhere in Callum’s echoing headspace, Ellis’ voice rose to the surface. It took a minute to process everything he said. He was friendly. Understanding, even.

It was rather dark outside, and crickets had begun their evening song, but lamps lit up the bench from either side. The lights were like splotches of butter-colored pai…[Read more]
