The snow made the power go out but we aren’t going home for some reason

Does anyone wanna chat? I have 20 minutes left until I can finally leave work

I drew this with my finger on my phone because the power went out at work and we aren’t doing anything and I am so bored

“I think I’ll name him Paul. And if it’s actually a girl, I can change it to Paula.”

Mel smiled as the snail emerged the rest of the way out of its shell and began to crawl around on her hand.

With her other hand, Mel pulled out her flashlight from her puffy jacket, and clicked it on. It was getting darker, and the twist…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings @whalekeeper Should I rp something?

My crochet hobby is currently paused my lack of yarn and my unwillingness to spend money on anything that isn’t necessary for survival or chocolate

@whalekeeper

It’s been going kinda good. My original goal of half an hour is still not happening at all, but I’m still doing a lot more than I used to. Keeping my writing glasses and journal and outline cards by my bed has helped a ton. I figured out a huge chunk of my inky project just now and changed the magic system yet again. It’s turning out…[Read more]

“Um… Okay then.” Mel scooped up the snail and slowly climbed down, staring at the creature in her hand the whole time. She came to stand next to Lucy, and looked up at her blankly. “So who’s they?”

@whalekeeper

XD I’ve never understood that either. Everyone is writing dark stuff and it gets tiresome and depressing. Sometimes I just want a lighthearted book where no one dies, but those are hard to find.

@power

As far as titles go, I always thought of you as kp’s local cryptid because of your elusive and random nature lol

@ellette-giselle

but have you all actually been trained to fight with them? 😂

Depends on exactly what you mean by training, but how is this at all writing/ kp related?

@whalekeeper

I just don’t like how they’re treated as more important/impactful than other stories.

Exactly

@loopylin @koshka

Yessss, I want silliness and whimsy! Do you have book recommendations???

@koshka

That would be awesome! Idk when I’ll have time to read it exactly, but I will

I’m honestly a bit tired of dark stuff and stories that “deal with hard themes”. We need more silliness and whimsy. The real world is full of it. Maybe we should reflect it more in our writing.

@koshka

That sounds absolutely wonderful. I love whimsy. And fairies. Loving fairies was like my whole personality the first two thirds of my life. Please do share if you feel up to it.

The Local Amnesiac

Relatable

@koshka

I feel like “Rhymer” sounds like someone who does a lot of poetry?

Also I have no idea what age group my stories are for when I’m writing them, but I definitely have a few that feel like children’s books.

@whalekeeper

Yeah the plot was very lacking. It would be cool to see the characters developed more.
