Barnes

This information had only been guesswork up until this point. Now, Barnes could remember Rory’s file. It had been newer than the others, and very scarce of words.

“Is there a way of convincing them Rory isn’t worth the risk? To them, not us,” she added.

@hybridlore

Unfortunately, I just realized I’m supposed to be starting homework for the first week of CC, and we were assigned to read 100 pages of history over the break . . . which I haven’t started yet because I didn’t know about it until yesterday 😩

Same thing here. XD I’ve been reading a ton of history and Greek literature so I have enoug…[Read more]

Oof. Lucille has my sympathies. (I’m going to enjoy calling her that.) Filing stuff stinks. As does doing a job on your own.

Nooo you can’t call her Lucille, she doesn’t like that. XD She’s very used to overworking and not making any friends. Thus the inability to show likable emotions.

Oh boy

1. Guys who are too possessive. I dislike this because there’s a fine line between protectiveness and… almost this sense of greed? The guy will only want the girl for himself and hates on anything that takes up some of her attention.

2. The ideally sweet, quiet, kind girl. Especially if they are the character without a poi…[Read more]

I’m back finally! Watched a fun movie and ate way too much nougat.

Barnes

Hopefully everything would be fixed that night. But Barnes wasn’t going to bet money, just in case.

“Destina Tasin pride themselves on their multi-world foreign student program. Unfortunately, they don’t like to face the issues which arise on sc…[Read more]

Ah, I gotcha.

@grcr Crazy Writing Week, starts on Monday (Jan 6th) and ends the 14th. It’s a motivational writing challenge type of thing to see how many words your team can write in a week. I’ve never done it before, but it sounded like fun! Whaley knows more about it, if you have other questions.

This is The Color of Hope, the one about the girl with synesthesia 😉

@grcr @theducktator Did you guys sign up?

@whalekeeper @anyone-else I’m planning to work on my WIP as much as I can! Unfortunately, I just realized I’m supposed to be starting homework for the first week of CC, and we were assigned to read 100 pages of history over the break . . . which I haven’t started yet because I didn’t know about it until…[Read more]

I have to leave for a date with friends but I’ll reply in a couple hours!

Barnes
Some of the kids picked up their mugs. Barnes waited for them to settle down. “So, I have to introduce myself first before you give me any explanation. Is that what Rory wants?”

Barnes

In the kitchen, Barnes set the tea water to simmer. The kettle started whistling almost immediately, and Barnes quickly put together four cups of tea and a cup of juice she had found in the ice box.

Coming back into the living room, she set the tray on the coffee table and settled down on a corner armchair, a…[Read more]

@keilah-h
Nah, you’re good, I was just checking to see if you were interested.

But please still tag me in the sprint topic cause I have a story idea I really like and I probably won’t write it unless I have motivation, which you guys provide in spades. Lol.

I meant the sprinting forum in CWW, but we can do that here too. After all, I think s…[Read more]

Barnes

Barnes closed the door. She took off her boots by the entrance rug, and folded up her coat before speaking quietly. “May I use the kitchen to make warm drinks, Leo?”

I am really, really impatient to start writing, but I have to hold in all my ideas until the challenge starts. 😅

@ellette-giselle

If you can’t enter the community on Monday for whatever reason, I will wrangle up somebody to help you.

@esther-c

I’ve started to discover how hard writing contemporary can be. I have the main plot points in my head, but figuring how to get to each one without writing filler chapters has been difficult. Right now I’m just try…

@esther-c

Well if you feel like switching projects at any point during the challenge, don’t force yourself against a writing block. But that sounds like a good plan. Is this the romance with the Italian boy? 😏

@rae @loopylin @linus-smallprint @theshadow @keilah-h @theducktator I’m just tagging whoever comes to mind. I hope some of you will do this too, and if so, hope to meet you in the sprinting topic on Monday!

I’m really excited because my project is going to have an absurdist world, and should only be 50k or so words since it will be middle grade level. What about everyone else?
