Noooooooo Tyler!😭Poor Easton.😭 I’m glad Hallie is starting to come back to God. Antonio is so sweet.🥰
I love the smorgasbord of emotions slapped into this post 🤣
I was just thinking about it last night in bed and i realized that what you pointed out about Easton isn’t a huge part of his character arc as far as…[Read more]

Which plot twist? The one about Jonas’s dad?
Yep
It’s based off the book Fahrenheit 451 which I really want to read, but I haven’t yet, so I don’t know if it’s clean.
I read most of it at a getaway house by the ocean (one of my favorite recent memories), and it was a fun read. I didn’t finish it but at the time I ha…[Read more]

*Bounces up and down because I just researched this* Make full summary of the mystery solution and the story behind it. Something like, “the old lady killed the doctor. She raised alligators in her home because she was a reptile researcher. She trained the alligators to do this, and this, and this. Her plan played out like this. She did…[Read more]

also, have you read the Giver? This book reminds me a lot of that so far.
Dystopian classic. *Sighs emphatically* I remember reading one of the plot twists as a nervous little thirteen-year-old and freaking out. Really good book.

Fr. I don’t want characters to agree with me all the time, because then there would be nothing to think about.

Wait what? You mean you don’t use spell check for the other book and still manage to have something readable?!
I didn’t know other writers couldn’t spell until I joined KP. XD I’ve rarely needed spell check. But my handwriting is horrible, and people can’t read it, so the skills balance out.

I like it! Isaiah and Cedrick are more interesting together than apart. Isaiah’s “code” doesn’t bother me. I mean, it would bother me in real life. But it’s fun when a character has a specific part of their personality that takes action easily. In this case, it’s bitterness. Isaiah could easily become part of a political plot…[Read more]

I know this is a massive article I’m sharing, lol, but I’ve agreed with anything I’ve read from this website (and everything I’ve seen/read at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter). This article explains why they believe the earth was created in six literal 24-hour days.
And to answer the question, I am also a young-earth creationist.

I will! I’m not actually taking it until tomorrow, because when we arrived at the BMV, there was a 49 person wait. It’s not usually that crowded, so we’ll go back tomorrow.
Oh goodness! that’s ridiculous 😂
Some of the material will depend on state and my driver’s ed program said that there were a lot of road sign questions and you c…

I commend you for making up a restaurant. Mentioning real companies/brands in stories is a pet peeve of mine. XD

The idea was to be wacky, but I wish I could say my last one is an exaggeration. It’s the most accurate out of the three. 🙃
Meanwhile, crocodile man desperately trying to hide his minor self-esteem issues wages a private war with everything, but mostly his own emotions.
Life be like that sometimes.

Sorry for falling off the face of the planet there for a minute! XD Anyway, thank you so much for your feedback and I’ve read through it all and am FOR SURE taking every word into consideration (I just don’t feel like making individual replies to each one. I know. I’m lazy 🤣)

Guyyssssssss… It’s been way too longgggg 😭 But I’m finally back!

Hey Esther!! Nice to see you around again!!
Sounds like a lot of craziness! 😂 How are you liking driving so far? And what new project are you planning to work on first?
I’m doing pretty good! My family moved and so we’ve been settling in and stuff but this week I’m finally starting to finish up my math (hopefully the last math of high schoo…[Read more]
Hehe, yes, but good craziness nonetheless! I’ve liked it so far! I’m kinda nervous and a little scared, but I’m mostly excited so that kinda overpowers the rest, lol. My brother’s also going off to college in the fall and he had been driving us places sometimes, so it’s almost like a motivation for me to be the new driver in the house (for my o…[Read more]
Yes, that makes total sense! Righttt. I’m just starting to be able to drive my siblings to the grocery store and it’s been fun. 🙂
Oh, awesome! I remember that one. Africa sounds really interesting… 😆
It was fine. We’ve moved plenty of times, and this one was a bit more sad for me, but I like our new house and neighborhood, and we’re starting to…[Read more]
Yes, that’s awesome!
Haha, yeah, I’ll be needing to do a lot of research, but I may save most of it for the end once I’ve gotten the whole story written out.
Good! I’m glad it’s been a pretty easy adjustment for y’all!
Ooh, fun fun! Oh yeah that’s a good idea! Do you have any idea what you want to do after high school yet??
Research, ugh. 😂 I would save it for the end too. XD
I want to write at least part-time, Lord willing!
I’ve also considered teaching violin or working as a librarian on the side. 😊 Do you?
Awesome, awesome!
Yeah, I’m hoping to get a degree in high school social studies/history education and/or youth ministry. I really want to be involved with high schoolers and ministry somehow in my future
HIIII ESTHERR <333
I'm so glad you're back, I was starting to wonder where you were…
(Like i'm one to talk, I'm notorious for randomly falling off the face of the earth so I get it girl haha)
THAT SOUNDS SO FUN!!!! I'm glad the last few weeks went so well for you!!!!

Oops I forgot you asked us to talk about ourselves too haha
Nothing much has been going on with me…I got a job at a coffee shop and I’ve been working 7 hour shifts almost every day which is exhausting but at least I get MONEY!!!
And I’m glad its’ keeping me out of the house too.

INDIANAPOLIS??? I’m in Indianapolis!

THAT’S SO COOL!
We’ll be either at the zoo or at a waterpark on July 4th..any chance we could meet up then?!?
We may be in Chicago then. I’d hoped plans would be nailed down before I replied, but it’s all still up in the air. If we’re here, I would LOVE that! Which waterpark?
@savannah_grace2009
So it looks like we will be in Chicago then. 😭 I really wish we could meet. Is the 4th the only possible date?
NOOOOO
yeah the 4th is the only day i’d be available *cries*
I’m actually going to the zoo that day (we’re splitting our youth group up based on what we wanted to do…one half is going to a waterpark and the other is going to the zoo.)
I decided on the zoo so it will be fun (:
But I’m sorry it won’t work!!!
Nooooooo! 😭 That would have been so fun! Would you be here again next year?
Thanks girl! <33
Ugh, yesss, I know that feeling. It can be really good to switch things up every now and then!

I really like it and I can’t wait until I’m experienced enough to drive to school and church!

I’ve driven three times so far, and I’m driving again today. I’ve only hit two curbs, which isn’t too bad given the size of that van.

Yeah, I’m surprised too. But I’m…[Read more]
