Agh yes I am lol

I’ve missed being on here :/

I’ve been so busy between school and work! (I recently got a job at a coffee shop which is good because I get money! But hard because I don’t have as much free time anymore!)

@theducktator @whalekeeper @esther-c @jonas @highscribeofaetherium @theshadow @grcr

I wrote some new chapters!

They’re really, REALLY rough but hopefully you guys enjoy them

(It gives me motivation to be able to share what I wrote with people, so thank you for supporting me 😊💜)

OMC

I’m so sorry!

I don’t think this popped up in my email so I never saw it *cries*

How am I just now seeing this?!

Anyways, that makes a lot of sense!

I will think about that XDXD

And don’t worry about the length, I enjoyed reading your thoughts!!!!

@elishavet-pidyon @koshka

I LOVE THIS!!!

Now go write more! Now!

🤣

I must know what happens!!!! *sob*

@esther-c

Sorry, I don’t read Middle-grade fiction, so I won’t be much help

Chase

Chase hesitated. “I-I…” he fell silent, shaking his head. “N-no i-dea. W-who’s Lo-Lo-is?”

Also, there’s a difference between the Chosen One trope and a For Such a Time mentality. I would love to see the true value of humanity, of the reader, addressed. That we are made with purpose and by intention. There is hope. God doesn’t waste His time making and loving children just to destroy them in Hell. This is why we cannot decide to be a…[Read more]

@esther-c

GREAT point.

Why thank you. XD

Honestly, if you do want to write MG fiction (and I hope you do) I recommend doing some research into the psychology of 8-13 year olds. Not only will it help your writing, it will help you understand your readers, and your own memories. (On that note, try to remember what it was like to be a kid, not…[Read more]

-What did/do you enjoy about your favorite MG novels?

Humor. Slapstick sparingly and good wit whenever it’s needed.

I liked characters I could connect to (although considering my personality, I could empathize easily) I liked it when the suffering was real. Kids can be done of the most melodramatic people on the planet, but like Koshka said,…[Read more]

@rae

Ahh! Animal fantasy! I adore this stuff so much. Yes, one of my series is a bunch of wolves and foxes and possibly sea faring black footed sand cats all picking fights with one another. It’s great fun. XD

@raxforge

I definitely approve. We need more animal fantasy that isn’t down right weird. Squirrels are hilarious, and a secret kingdom…[Read more]

@esther-c

*Literally comes out of nowhere*

MG!! My genre. Yes! We need more good MG fiction.

– What did/do you enjoy about your favorite MG novels?

Action, but not necessarily what you’d first think of. I wanted my heros to do something that mattered, even if it was sitting in a dark closet for hours, bravely taking hardship and fighting the…[Read more]

@koshka

That’s perfect! I love it.

Some reads we never forget

Some books we never forgive

Haven’t seen the end of this yet

We’ll write as long as we live.

All eyes on the hidden door

To the lonely laptop borne

We’ll ride in through the scribbling storm

Till we write our long forgotten WIPs…

In Which Trees are Dangerous, and Aenwest Considers Doubles

Chapter 7

The closer we got to the Dell, the more tangled the trees became. It should have been much like the woods around Multnomah Falls, WA, but years ago, as I told Dwogin when he tripped over an exposed root, the Rangers had planted saplings between the older trees and woven them…[Read more]

Some days we kinda forget,

Some WIPS will never go on.

Gotta get the rest of it done,

All the way to the Silver Star.

(Far away, through writer’s block so bold.)

*cough cough*

Although it’s been neglected, it has not been abandoned. We have another chapter!

@theducktator

Like the others said, that depends on your characters. (They had some great advice.)

I think it would also depend on how expected/tragic the death was. While doesn’t necessarily lessen grief, it makes a lot of difference in how one processes it. (I think. Not an expert.) In some ways it would be worse, especially if they were…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Yippy!!!

*Considers playing The Game on brothers*

Nah, way too risky.

@linus-smallprint

Hmmm.

So basically I made you lose by asking what the game is?

@loopylin

Aw cute!!!!

@keilah-h

My friends and I did Henna together! Her brother is a missonary and had just gotten back from the wedding of a girl from India. The girls of the village knew that he had sisters, and they gifted him a whole bunch of henna. We put on a girly movie and did the art from the inside of the first finger all the way up to the bend in the…[Read more]
