Ohhh, they look so good!!!

I spent my whole shower time thinking about this and I can explain a little better. Taking quotes from Book 1.

Chapter the 5th

Tyn watched her friend. She did not know what to say to him. Every time he had gotten in a mood like this before, she had told him he had full control over whether or not he used magic. Now she wondered if he really might…

So you’re saying she is motivated by independence, realizes this command from the king makes her look controlled, and so tries to justify it through her own moral code to still feel independent? Makes sense. But is something keeping her from switching sides in the first place? (Just digging a little)

@ellette-giselle @elishavet-pidyon

Forgot to reply quickly 😅 Yes I would appreciate any research you already have! I’ve already got tons of reading to do for the main parts of my thesis, and psychology is part of it, so any help is welcomed – although I’m going to look for articles on my own anyway. I’m trying to find ways of cutting time becau…[Read more]

Prayers for a beautiful old church down the road from ours. It has a lot of lovely history, all the way from the late 1800s, with families buried there. But the congregation is tiny and mostly comprised of the elderly. They can barely keep up membership. The pastor got into a tractor accident, was paralyzed, and died yesterday. It was very sudden…[Read more]

I was music starved this week and added more songs to Marcel’s playlist. Enjoy if you feel like it; they’re all good songs. Teardrop by Massive Attack, One Headlight by The Wallflowers, To Be Alright by Aurora, Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush.

@grcr

I’m very late to the party, but I’ll listen to some of those songs in a sec

😂 I feel that if these characters did not try to accept differences, there would be an active fight by this point.

Marcel

Responding to Mateo first, Marcel shrugged his shoulders one by one. “Immortal, undead. I see where you’re coming from.”

He looked at the other kid. This boy was still nameless, but looked much…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

I get a lot of references from Pinterest, but I’ve heard theres a growing amount of ai art on it so ughhhh.

Yeah, there is. 😕 It’s pretty identifiable though, so I just avoid clicking on them and prompting the algorithm. Otherwise I love finding stuff on there.

I usually use references from shows I like.

I don’t watch shows o…[Read more]

It might help if you read over what you wrote before you post it. That way, if you’ve said angry things, you have time to think a little more about changing up your words.

@the_lost-journal

You’re not trying to cause arguments at heart, right? Take a deep breath. It’s normal to have all kinds of thoughts when you read something for the first time. Maybe you’re struggling to know what to say and what to keep to yourself.

@hybridlore
😐👌 I will do that

@godlyfantasy12

now how did I forget to tag Whaley *virtual facepalm*

Lol don’t worry, I’m still reading. 😂

@the_lost-journal

If you want to talk about emotional struggles, you are free to do that. But I think Ellette simply wanted to make a joke about how much she likes soccer, and so it makes sense for her to defend her love of the sport when you responded with negativity.

I found Deus Lamb’s email. Do y’all want me to contact him first?

Tbh, the Paralympics is the only thing I watch on television. XD

@ellette-giselle

Exactly! My brother still exercises all the time, and he’s stronger than me despite being younger. He enjoys wall climbing too. It’s really funny because he has broad shoulders and strong arms, but his feet are tiny.

I wish I could be more active, but my parents told me to stop jiu-jitsu for now because I need treatment first. *grumpy* Literally all I’m allowed to do is walk my dog.

@ellette-giselle

Yep, he’s in a wheelchair! He has a birth defect where his spinal cord developed weirdly and his legs are… partially paralyzed? I’m not sure what the term is.

And that is my explanation for having a couple wheelchair-bound characters in my stories, lol.

@freed_and_redeemed @ellette-giselle @I’mnotsure

Hey, do either of you (and/or someone else) have resources about PTSD based on actual interviews with WWII survivors? I can do my own research ofc, but just thought I’d ask. I know both of you are writing historical fiction about it.
