You make some good points and may have saved a life. I had a character who I’d considered killing for drama, but I’m thinking I’ll keep her alive.

I would argue that sometimes shock value is a good reason to kill characters. For example, in KotLC the stakes are supposed to be so high, and the villains so evil, and yet all of the…[Read more]

Extra challenge: don’t pull the sadness from a super abusive or traumatic experience.

Eh, I’ll allow it, but I guarantee you it won’t make me feel anything.

@elishavet-pidyon

Yay! Someone willing to take the challenge! XD

I get emotional at movies and also cry myself to sleep occasionally so it shouldn’t be too hard, probably.

@rae

glad you like my idea!

I think the sister entirely depends on what Chase’s plot and also personal character arc is going to be, which are not things I know much about. Though I do like the idea of giving him a lighthearted sister who eventually rubs off on him and helps him be less broody all the time. Maybe he doesn’t know about her exi…[Read more]

I know nothing about this, but is that animation trend that’s been going around YouTube from this? The one that’s like:

Calypso (singing): Tell me, who’s Penelope?

Odysseus: She’s my wife <3

Calypso: …

Calypso: ANYWAYS *changes the subject and starts singing about her island*

If it’s not and I’m just talking utter nonsense rn, I apologi…

I have the opposite problem, lol.  Too hesitant to kill off characters who probably should actually die for the plot/ their own arc.

@anyone

Random optional challenge just for fun: If any of you can write something that makes me cry without any death in it, I will draw any character of your choice for you. (Full body, fully colored and shaded)…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Would you be interested in a goal-focused chat where we practice our individual writing skills and chat about our progress

That would be awesome! I really need people to annoy me about writing and keep me on task so maybe that would help. Not sure how much time I’ll have this summer, though.

@whalekeeper

 I’m choosing to take an extra year of classes by myself, a super senior year. But it’s optional and I’m doing it to choose specific interests and decide if I want to pursue them or not.

Makes sense. My dad wants me to go to a community college for a year when I graduate for the same reason.

Ah yes, practical life skills. Must be nic…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @liberty

I hesitate because I reeeaaallllyy need to get back into writing/editing. But… that week is leading up to my brother’s graduation and I’m in the homestretch for my schoolwork and life has just been busy and I need time to just chill. Anyway… I also really really want to sign up for CEW still…. 😭 I am just being indecisiv…[Read more]

@rae

Maybe next year. I don’t really have anything ready to edit right now.

@whalekeeper

Congratulations! Will you go to college?

@keilah-h

Thank you! 🙂

@liberty

I used to do Saxon but I found it painfully dry. I do Life of Fred now. I still don’t like math, but I tolerate it now.

I’d also been asking God to give a heart for not grumbling about math…and I’m so thankful He has!

I should probably do that.

@ellette-giselle

You’re FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Finished essay.

@ellette-giselle

You’re welcome! Here is Ryla’s best friend/love interest Ardon.

Sprinting at :40 on previously mentioned essay that I’m now rewriting. *sigh*

@FREED_AND_REDEEMED

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.

@ellette-giselle

Thank you! That quote is from Great is Thy Faithfulness. It’s one of my favorite hymns.

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

XD Thank you!

@liberty

*gasp* There are people out there that like Saxon?

Guys…I haven’t signed up for CEW yet….. 🫣
