Lovely poetry 😊

I still think about this topic to this day. XD

@stephie

Now, I wouldn’t make too big of a deal out of this. You know your character’s temperaments, backgrounds, personalities. Those will dictate how they react to situations as much if not far more than whether they are male or female. Let them do what you feel they would as a character. Keep a good balance in mind, but don’t worry so much…

Snack recipe for everyone. :]

Ingredients

1 cup butterscotch chips (the small kind for melting)

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 cups miniature marshmallows

1 can (3 ounce) chow mein noodles

Instructions

1. Put the peanut butter and butterscotch into a saucepan over a rustic medieval fire (this is a must); stir until melted.

2. Mix up the…[Read more]

*Actively avoiding discussion on this matter even though my perspective is very relevant to the topic because my family avoided Christmas for eight years* Who wants a hopscotch recipe??

@koshka @mineralizedwritings @elishavet-pidyon

Thank you. (: It’s based a little on a time when I periodically visited my great-grandfather.

@koshka

I do that to chocolate cream pies, but that goes without saying.

Do you make French silk pies? We do that, and coconut cream pies. There’s also something called hopscotch, which is a mixture of peanut butter, butterscotch, marshmallows, and uncooked chow mein noodles.

That would be… interesting.

It would be. I’d rather not risk it. XD

I have written my 400 words… prepare to defend yourselves…

@koshka

Yeeeeesss 😭 I’m tasked with making them each year, and I secretly eat the masa and meat raw like cookie dough… 😬

My shower thoughts sometimes turn into poems. 😛

No name.

Ten years I’ve lost my ever-changing mind.

My words have slowed, and must be redefined.

Your name slips on my tongue, a stranger’s taste;

The dullness and the gray leave me misplaced.

Well… I’ve read books with 100+ chapters, so it wouldn’t bother me at all. The book I’m reading right now is YA fantasy with roughly 70 chapters. If your chapters are a little short, it might make sense to combine some of them so it doesn’t feel too choppy. But otherwise it’s all up to you.

@koshka

Tamales especially are definitely a holiday food here. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t eat them year round, which we do, they’re just a Christmas tradition I guess.

No waaaay. O.O That’s our tradition! We have homemade tamales for Christmas dinner every year, plus a huge smorgasbord of cheese, meats, candies, etc.

@koshka

I’m tryna remember, lol… Um… We normally do with Thanksgiving since we have turkey, but on Christmas we only serve ham, so I don’t think we eat stuffing too. I might be remember wrong though. There’s a couple side dishes that change every year.

@koshka

Yeah, we normally have a more traditional dinner too (ham, green beans, mac ‘n’ cheese, potatoes, etc.). Dad likes to switch things up every now and then, but his side of the family (the one we normally celebrate Christmas with), likes to stick to the traditional meal. 😉

Ohhh, ok, that makes more sense now. I can totally see that bei…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Also congrats to Esther! I can’t wait to read her short story!!! I love Christmas stories! Who knows, maybe I will even read to my younger siblings!

(I still need to read 😅)

Aw, thanks!! 🤗 No rush at all! (If you don’t find time to read it, I will not be offended at all. :))

@theducktator @raxforge

You know you’re a writer when you are playing family, and you are the long lost cousin from Australia who was in jail for arson and wants to burn down the White House.

Me and my brother have two friends who are Australian and for some reason I can imagine one of them actually doing that. 🤣

@elishavet-pidyon

I am having mixed emotions right now…..

First off, I loved that scene!!! It was so sweeetttt!!! 😍

Second… FiVe SnOwBaLlS?!?! *humphs* *does the math* Oh, that’s only 250 words. 😅🤣

Not as bad as I thought, lollll

@theduckator

Oh no! That’s really hard. My dad quit his job some years back because it was too stressful and not a good job to keep. He was without a full-time job for nine months. But the whole time God provided for us in so many different ways! God will get you guys through this. I promise. 🫂 Praying for y’all! 🩷

Oh! Another tradition our family has is reading through an Advent devotional throughout the month of December. 🥰

@koshka

Random side note because I did recently find this out. Easter is mentioned in the KJV Bible (Acts 12:4), but it was an incorrect/imperfect translation. Most other translations use Passover.

Huh, interesting… I just looked that up in KJV and ESV and you’re right. 🤔 I’ve never noticed that before!

That’s awesome. A lot of people I know ea…
