It looks a lot better! One thing I noticed is that Antonio does say “fabuloso” twice.

“Then the topic conveniently comes up in a conversation with Easton.”

Also, I feel like this might be better if you just change it to “Then I can ask Easton” or something like that. Otherwise, it looks great! I like the way you made Hallie more rea…[Read more]

Turns out, my brother’s cord was broken in three places. This may have happened because of how much he’s grown. Because of the scar tissue around the cord, the fluid is still able to pass through his body safely, and he doesn’t need surgery!

Done, and officially less stressed about the assignment now.

@loopylin

What do you think? Pretty sure your email is visible on there as well as mine.

I’m good with it. *thumbs up* It might be a good idea to post it on your profile, rather than directly on the forum.

@freed_and_redeemed

Hehe, it definitely is. XD

Hey guys! I’m going to work from 2:15 to some undetermined time. I have to jot down the full outline for my senior thesis, and go down some hopefully valuable rabbit trails. You know how research is. I’d love to have company!

@theshadow

Ooh, I’ve also got to add in the part about the gov trying to pass a new law that allows them to persecute Christians, but I haven’t figured out when yet.

@theshadow

Great! 😁

Okay, I see what you mean. Are you thinking like, within their friend groups? Most of the story so far takes place either at school, the church meetings, or their house. Later, though, there will probably be a lot of scenes at their respective job assignments, so you’ll get to see more of the culture then. Do you have any i…[Read more]

Oh wow, that was a bit of a lore dump

I want to contribute, but this isn’t really advice, because I’m not that experienced. (Disclaimers, disclaimers, you get the drift.)
I enjoy making an environment that challenges the character. That way, even if the villain is average, I can make up an elaborate floor-plan for the fight.

In Baztet, the city is colorful and fun, but it also has a…[Read more]

@rae

I really wish i could draw like that.

Giiirrl, stop roasting yourself. Thank you, though!

@theshadow

Praying!!

@theshadow

Awesome! Thanks!

I’m sorry, there are just too many uses for Disney Princess quotes. I want to watch Tangled again, just to remember all of Flynn Rider’s lines. My quote arsenal is running low.

@keilah-h

He’s not a believer but seems to be asking the right questions recently

That’s a good sign. :-]

Is he older or younger than you?

He is a year younger than me, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at us. He is heavier (due to exercise and being a ravenous teenage boy), and he’s in a wheelchair, so it’s hard to guess who is taller.

@ellette-giselle

My brother loses his steam over many inconsequential details.

Me: 🎵 It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem smaaaaaalll 🎵

@ellette-giselle

have you ever seen Frozen?

✨ Let it gooOooOoOOoooOo  ✨ *Throws back my hair dramatically* I sing that song whenever my siblings are unnecessarily argumentative.

@linus-smallprint

Do you ever have that problem?

Oh yeah, all the time. I’d say to write it down anyway, because there is always some reason why you had the idea in the first place.

Every idea has a nugget of interest behind it, and if you feel some appeal despite knowing it won’t work, write it down. Then think about why it appealed to you…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I’ll be praying for him as well!

@ellette-giselle

Awesome, good to know. I think I do mention very vaguely later that they won the game, but you’re right, I don’t think any reader will make the connection.

So, that was my bad 😅 You’ve read all the chapters I’ve posted. For some reason, my brain didn’t make the connection that you had read them all because I read this:
