Ok. I am in the middle of section 2. I’ll go back and finish it. I’m just so… amazed.

WHY would ANYONE in his right mind Say That? XD I’m sorry, it’s just something I remember from a visiting missionary. You rarely if ever start off saying “the gods are false.” Telling people everything they believe is a lie will typically…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Ooo, lies. XD if I remember right, they want to start with little lies (because they’re more believable) and then work toward bigger lies with more power. So here are some ideas for chains of lies.

“You should be able to be strong enough on your own” (so when you falter, “you must be a failure” can follow)

“If God loved you,…[Read more]

Leo

Five thirty. Silvia stood in the kitchen doorway with most of her hair still in a loose braid and a comb in her hand. The wild curtain of curls nearly hid her puffy, red rimmed eyes.

“Good morning, Sis.” Leo whispered and set down the spatula. “Didn’t get much sleep?”

She shrugged and shuffled over to fill the tea kettle.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper (Do you like sugar or cream with that?)

Thank ya’ll so much! I am enjoying using a simpler, more whimsical style than I use with graphite. Watercolor is just… fairytale-esc.

And shading with watercolor is finally starting to make sense. XD

@whalekeeper

I would like to not be a night owl. It just seems to always happen.

But no, I should try at least to go to bed at a earlier time.

*Nods to myself*

@raxforge

Sypher

Rax. Ben. These must be their short names. Sypher glanced between the two strangers, his lips pressed in a thin blue line.

Then he blinked and looked away. Maybe these people were strange, but this place was even stranger, so what else was a sprite to expect?

“Syph. You may call me Syph.” He waved a hand to the vaulted door…[Read more]

*Distant sobbing*

Hopes I’m not shoving into a conversation too much*

Yes…I actually stayed up til 11pm last night to write down a character scene with two of my guys…I know…I woke up really late, but I wanted to write that scene down before I forgot it! Does that happen to you?

*Chokes on my tea*

11 pm is late? Gracious, I must be an insomniac or something. I’m d…[Read more]

@koshka @godlyfantasy12 @ellette-giselle @freed_and_redeemed @ifyouknowAlwin @anyone

Ok… You know that one character? The one who is disturbingly realistic? If I make a thread sometime later this month about handling dark topics in a God glorifying way, this is why.

Meet Letice, Alwin’s mother. I love her, but I heard her story years ago and…[Read more]

@raxforge

Sypher

The blow had sent him tumbling to the pavement, a sudden pool of water softening his landing. The sprite slowly picked himself up and dusted the droplets off. His shoulders relaxed as the puddle evaporated back into vapor.

The towering figure was still there along with…too many other people. A darker blue flush crept up the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Hi, I don’t believe I’ve talked to you in what feels like ages 😂

I wish I could be of advice but uh I haven’t touched my draft in months?? Ikr???

I did at some point stop writing scenes I wasn’t interested in and that kinda helped. Like idk, I watch some anime that just skips the boring stuff. A great example of this is I was…[Read more]

@raxforge

Ooh ty for the tag! I looove world building, and I guess I take a lot of inspiration from different places, then try to connect the general ideas with reasons for them being if that makes sense. Like I might have the idea of a world with 5 different nations, I might want to have a magic system everyone can use, and have all of the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I like him! He looks like a good friend to have in hard times.

@freed_and_redeemed

Oooo, a scene….

Leo does have a point. At least fighting the Nazis gives him an idea of purpose. Poor kiddo.

Poor Riker though. I’m rather proud of him. Leo definitely struggles to see the hurt in other people.

@freed_and_redeemed

The bois!!!! Yay!! It’s been a while. Their story is so fascinating/emotional/fantastic.

*realizes they’re up for adoption*

I’ll adopt Wolfgang. Or Leo. Or….

Or… Can I be the little aunt who makes them cookies when they feel down? XD

@koshka @peopleinterested @whoever

I’m playing with watercolor again! My favorite twin sister got me SpArkLY wAtErcOloRs. I am infatuated.

Anyway, this is Sypher, the character Koshka just put in the School RP.

I’m good with it being morning!

@whalekeeper

I struggle with finishing too! (Or getting anywhere beyond Chapter 3 before I subside to excessive world building….)

I have found that writing out my thoughts for the scene no matter what they sound like does help me get something to work with. I can trash it later, but I will probably have a scene “frame” solidified. (Is that a…[Read more]

*whimpers*

I’m struggling too right now. Just trying to make the time to write, and then when I do I find myself staring blankly at the page wondering why anything but my WIP will write bit not the WIP…

*Sighs*

I’ve also only finished first drafts for short stories, not a novel yet. Which is something I’m hoping to change this year but life.
