*Clucks my tongue disapprovingly* You have the attention span of Alice in Wonderland, Power.

Yaayyy!! Yes, I have!! And I’ve read most of her books, I think. It’s been a long time, but the memories just suddenly flooded back into my mind this evening. Flora & Ulysses has got to be her strangest book. XD

Seb

“Oh, that.” Seb prodded his forehead with a sponge, which he figured would be the least painful prodding tool. The throbbing beat which had kept him company the entire day had disappeared in his sleep.

Normally he would try to think of something smart to say. His shoulders dropped, and he looked around for a few moments before he…[Read more]

I’m shooting blind, here. No idea who likes these books.

I didn’t really notice that the uncle’s betrayal felt forced, but I would have to go back and look at it again to see for sure. I was so preoccupied with Yeah, I knew that was gonna happen and Oh no—what’s gonna happen to them now? To really focus on it. Unless Linus feels otherwise, I think it was fine.

@ellette-giselle

Sorry this took me so long to respond—I didn’t get a notification, so I thought you hadn’t wrote back yet.

My first thought is that you would need to save Joseph, because it would be strange to kill off the main character three quarters (four fifths?) of the way through the book.

But looking past that, Joseph’s charact…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

How close are your character personalities to the real person? I can’t say I make a one-for-one imitation of the person. Recently I was inspired by a friend’s hyper deliberateness in friendships and used that as a trait, but I used barely anything else.

And finally, my dog, because he’s definitely art. Definitely relevant.

@ellette-giselle

Eh, I wasn’t surprised.

@ellette-giselle

Joseph, Amelia, and Beric. I don’t know her brothers well enough yet.

I’ve let myself be deceived. My whole life I thought I’d never have the strength, and I was right. But it’s not about me at all! None of this is.” Joseph waved his hand to punctuate his words. “My whole life I’ve been worried about what I can and can’t do, but…

Some art from the National Gallery when I went there recently. Sigh, my camera is not good, but it is one of my favorites.

@loopylin

Should Blackjack be an Australian shepherd?

Good scenes, though. Joseph was a tiny bit preachy when he had his character shift arc, but it worked since that’s been his struggle since the beginning.

I can’t wait to see what happens next. 🥺

@ellette-giselle

Ellette!!!!! 🥺🥺

What are you going to do to them??

@ellette-giselle @keilah-h

That reminds me of a really cool, sweet mom at church (one of my favorite people) who approached me with a YA fantasy book. A friend of hers, whom I didn’t know, had written it and wanted some feedback from teenage girls.

I and my friend read it, and we coincidentally had one favorite character that stood out. She was…[Read more]

Hey that sounds way more developed than when you originally had the idea! I remember when you started getting hyped up for it. I like the structure, even though I haven’t read Lunar Chronicles, so you could have pretended it was your idea and I would have never noticed. XD
