Girl!!!! *Gives you huge hug* I missed you so much!!! I hope you had a amazing Christmas!!

Oooh…Jezyk! That’s all I’m gonna say…XDXD

Aww, yay!! I love Fin!! But *sobs* well, you know. He’s so sweet! Him and Riker’s relationship is so sweet!

YAY!!! I can’t wait for my charries to meet yours!!

@sarafini

That sounds really cool!! I’ve never known anybody who has written an autobiography before.

The only advice I can offer, is this:

Read other auto/biographies. Then you can see how they wrote it. Secondly, when you’re starting at your childhood, you don’t have to document everything. Think of some really important moments that happen…[Read more]

I looked at the fennec fox curiously. Maybe he was a Lyabrinnian… or at least like one. His mouth didn’t move when he spoke.

Jocelyn smiled and I smiled back at her. She seemed like a nice girl. I started down the hall as the others followed.

I rubbed my arms and shivered as I felt a cold draft blow by. Ty seemed to not…[Read more]

Oh! I really liked that. I wouldn’t change a thing! It seems like the kind of story you read when you need a pick me up. Low stakes, but still lots of fun, and the time travel thing makes it extra interesting!

I think that was what I was kind of thinking in my head, I just couldn’t put words to it. 😅

@arien @esther-c @lewilliams @keilah-h @felicity @mineralizedwritings @sarafini

Wow, all of y’all’s stories are so inspiring 😊😍!!
So, I’ve always loved reading. Even when I was little enough to not know how to read, I would sit in the floor with a picture book and try to read to myself and my mama.
When I was about eleven, I was on a zoom call…[Read more]

@felicity

It was rather cheesy, but…we laughed. That’s all that matters, right? 😀 😀 Sweet!

Lol, yes, that’s all that matters! Speaking of sibling laughs, my little brother is always talking about how many books I read, and he was singing the song from Tangled, the part where Repunzel’s singing “And then I’ll read a book, or maybe two or three.” B…[Read more]

@felicity

Wait, are you sure he wasn’t teasing you? 🤣 It was pretty obvious to me!

Oh, no, I know when he’s teasing, and he wasn’t teasing 🤣. Okay, good!! 😂

@esther-c

Took me a while to reply, but now I am! 😁

Yay! Thank you for taking the time to respond 😊!

First of all, I could really feel the sibling dynamic! Great job on that! Sibling dynam…

Oh my word!!! That’s super cold.

I think it’s cold in a lot of the US because of the arctic front. Yesterday was terrible. It didn’t go over 3 degrees Fahrenheit!! Today is a little better. Funny thing is, a week from now it will be 58. 😆

I expect we’ll see a polar bear soon

I wouldn’t doubt it. Lol 😂

@lightoverdarkness6

Took me a while to reply, but now I am! 😁

First of all, I could really feel the sibling dynamic! Great job on that! Sibling dynamics are my favorite!! I could also feel the tone: Sure, they were in a bad situation, but it didn’t get them down all the way, bc they had each other.

I’m already really liking your cha…[Read more]

@orielle21

I enjoyed it!! It was cute and simple!!

But for some critiques, here’s what I thought:

So, I noticed that the kids are going to school. But it’s Christmastime. So that would be weird if they were going to school that close to Christmas Day.

Secondly, I felt as if the dialogue was unnatural. So to help with the flow of dialogue, I s…[Read more]

@felicity

*clears throat* Yeah it’s true.

Um, we were having a bit of a joke. We were in the same room, both on KP, and when she said in her intro, “I’m a baby barista”, I put, “hey, my sister works at a coffee shop too!” and…well, we lost it.

Omg, that’s hilarious!!! I love it!! That sounds like something me and my cousin would do (We’re like s…[Read more]

@arien

One thing about writing style: sometimes using more descriptive words for “said” can be distracting and sound contrived.

Yeah, I use said too much. I’ve actually started having my grandma’s I-Pad next to me while I write, and the I-Pad has a list of words to use other than “Said.”

I know, it can be hard not to use “said” all the time, b…

So, this is kind of what Dao looks like:

Well… 🤔 I think “deus es machina” is the right term. 😅

@felicity

I know!!

I really like Dao! I know that the fact that he suddenly showed up and saved them is kind of deus es machina, but it had to happen. 😁

I could probably ramble more on why I write… but… we’ll just keep it at that. 😜

@arien

Awesome topic idea!! I’ve been meaning to start something like this, but you did it for me!!

So, pretty much for as long as I can remember, I loved anything to do with stories!! I wrote them in school or for fun; my bff and I would play games after church about stories we made up; and I enjoyed putting on plays. I just loved it!! That c…[Read more]

This is ending up so much more different than I had originally intended. I love it!!!

I guess that chapter ended up longer than I had thought. XD

@godlyfantasy12 @felicity @lightoverdarkness6 @mineralizedwritings

Welp… I guess posting it on Wednesday didn’t happen. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😅 But here it is!! Sorry for making y’all wait so long. I may have forgotten about it… *hides behind pillow* *throws pillow, clears throat, and resumes poise*

Anywho, I put a little bit of the end of the previous chapter…[Read more]
