I like how the female duck is called Serpentine, a long, majestic, complicated name (how’d she get it anyway?) and then the male duck is just Bob. Brilliant.

I named Bob when I was 8-ish, and it just stuck. As for Serpentine, Queen Natalie had a group of spy ducks that I named after rocks and minerals at one point. It has since been d…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

I read the scene you just posted and teared up. Poor Moishe.

@theducktator

Yes I am!! Thanks for reminding me. I’ll post the next one(s) sometime tomorrow. I’ve just been getting so distracted and I’ve forgotten! 😭

@esther-c

Are you planning to continue the polls anytime soon?

@highscribeofaetherium

Ok I will 😂 I want to start brainstorming it this afternoon (since it won’t be anything longer than a novella) but I’m not sure if I’ll get to it or not.

@trailblazer

Ooh, I like that idea!! This is definitely still in the plot bunny stage, so any ideas are welcome. XD

Sooo… I just came up with a possible novel/novella/short story idea that I really want to write… Basically, this person, probably a girl, is told that she is the chosen one, or something like that, but she refuses. She doesn’t want to get involved with this at all. So the special responsibilities/quest/privileges are given to someone else, prefe…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

I love this scene!

Welllll, you already know I like Matthias. 😛 But I think I have to agree with you—I like Moishe too. I get the vibe that he has a layered backstory, more than he might be willing to share… 🤔

@theducktator

Good choice 😁

@anyone

So, I wrote a scene.

Bob dumped his papers on the table. “Let’s go over the plan one more time. We drop in from the clouds. Emerald and Jasper knock out the main guards. Topaz picks the lock, Serpentine, you distract the other guards and surrounding humans, and I and the other lead the captives to freedom. Any questions?” No one had any.…

awww that’s so cute and funny! I’d read a story about ducks.

Thanks!

@rae

True. Though, I was known for a ridiculously large smile when I was little(r) so large both rows were at least partly visible. And that one stupid canine tooth that grew faster than my other teeth that for a while looked kinda like I had a short fang. Anyways, I often imagine that wide smile on Mandin. So it’s not completely wrong, but tha…

Howard he will be. 🙂

@freed_and_redeemed

This is a book I’d totally read!! I’ve actually been reading too many books outside of the genre I write lately. XD Authors are always saying you should read lots of books in your genre, but I enjoy reading his-fic so much! lol! I really love this idea though! Be sure to tag me if you post any snippet of it. 😊

@trailblazer @freed_and_redeemed @keilah-h

Thanks for the thoughts, y’all!! Your opinions are helping me figure this out a lot. I might just step back from it for a while, or try to write a little farther ahead in the story and see what happens.

I was gonna save this new WIP for NaNo this year buuuuut…. Yeah that ain’t gonna happen. 😂

@savannah_grace2009

Oh yeah I totally get it. No worries! <3

Ah, I gotcha. I’m kinda there too. At least in one of my WIPs. If I really set myself loose on a different one I’ve been working on on the side, then I’d be writing a lot. XD

Ok, awesome! Glad it was helpful!

Of course!! 😊

Ed and Dante

Dante shrugged carelessly and looked away. Eddie glared lasers at him as she spoke.

“Long story, but basically he abandoned us in a collapsing building. That. Was on. Fire.”

“It was an accident,” Dante said quickly.

“Was not.”

“Alright, but I wasn’t trying to bring down the whole building. You were fine, anyw…[Read more]

Alright lovely peoples… I need help. (If I had a nickel for all the times I’ve written a post with that phrase… XD)

My main WIP has come to a screeching halt. And I’m not sure if I should keep it that way or push through whatever kind of writer’s block this is.

I’ve been much more excited about another WIP, and I can’t tell if I’ve stopped…[Read more]
