I knooowwwwwwww!!! 😭

We’re both still at home though, so there’s that.

@ellette-giselle

My older sister is a graduate student there, so yes, but no, my twin is going somewhere else.

*Mournful sigh*

@ellette-giselle

It’s close enough to commute, about 40 minutes one way (so not amazing, but not bad).

@whalekeeper

Sounds like you’re all set to me!

Words of wisdom are heavy upon the fingers.

Oh my word. XD That needs to be a tag line

Ack, my slow typing…

@whalekeeper

I already have that! Perhaps I have made some better-than-bad choices!

Yay!

…What about the first few chapters of the book, though? I want to set him up as likable then, but the beginning doesn’t include any huge brave decisions because it’s setting up the status quo.

The status quo is him trying to be “comfortable” or whatever, right…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

O.O

Yeah, entering finals and graduation, then transferring to a university for next fall.

Annnnnd you answered some of that already. XD

@whalekeeper

Hmm. Often anxious, slightly pessimistic, nervous.

Give him something (or someone) he cares so much about that he would risk anxious situations to protect/keep/help. It could be something simple like a pet kitten or his father’s pocket watch, or something more complex like a best friend. What drives his anxiety? What is a cause he’d…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

How…? Oh bother.

*Snatches a jacket and poofs away*

@whalekeeper

The wise fool!!!Where one character is expected to be foolish/silly and instead is incredibly wise. So, there’s a book, A Letter for the King, that took this trope literally, and is spectacular. In the book, Tirillo is the king’s fool, but he’s also secretly a paladin knight and has this incredible wisdom that shows up in the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Hopefully not? But right now…maybe.

*Deep sigh of weariness*

Life is nuts right now. So yeah, it might take something kinda out there to stop my in my hamster wheel of days.

I should be back to something like normal in…two weeks?

@ellette-giselle

He keeps dying.

WHAT!?! XD

First you kill all my favorite of your own characters, and now you’re killing mine!

LOL

Okay, where were we?

@ellette-giselle

Okay.

I liked Aelic.

And I am now…mmmm.

*Glares*

I was honestly hoping Leon would somehow be able to take his place, even though I like Leon.

Besides my unhappiness over what happened, nice gut punch at the end. And um…

Honestly, this kid’s writer feels kinda sick after that, so she’s going to just step back and let…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Thank you! 😊

@keilah-h

Thanks! It’s actually a joust of sorts. The prince and his companion were at the tilting yard with a seasoned knight. Something just went horribly wrong, and Deniz is going to try to stop a galloping horse.

@loopylin @koshka @whalekeeper

Thank y’all! Your comments made me smile and do little happy dances. 🙂

@Kitty

(That isn’t a bad idea)

@loopy

Thanks! The perspective was what made me want to draw it in the first place.

@Whaley

It was too boring without the shading/fur. I came back and added it on a whim. I don’t know how much of it is…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

It’s beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

(Eh, point taken. I think I’ll just chuck the courtier on the horse instead)

I did my first full-page scene illustration since I was 10! lol. I think it came off better than those old ones. I tried scanning again… Not sure what I think of it. XD

This is for one of @koshka ‘s stories. Sorry Deniz’s horse didn’t make it on set too.

(Kitty, if you ever give me this kind of heart attack, I’ll do the assassin’s job for him.)

@loopylin

Hooray! That’s wonderful.

The drawing and the keychain are adorable. I like how you brought it to life.
