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

Mmm… Nougat.

@esther-c

Naw, you’re good! I haven’t touched that one in a while actually. It’s a completed first draft, I’ve just been too scared to edit it. 🫣😂 I’m actually drafting a contemporary NA romance that starts in the Midwest but mostly takes place in ✨i t a l y✨. I started it in November, but I’m not even halfway through yet. I didn’t make writing…

Yep! That’s the link. You should get a confirmation email pretty soon after you signed up.

I signed up and I’m sooooo excited!!!! Hey maybe I’ll be on the same team as you guys, that would be so fun!

@whalekeeper

I’m signed up. I just sent Andrew the link too. Not sure if he’ll be able to though

@esther-c

Awww Lukas is so cuteeeeee! I love himmm

Livia

“Hey, Liv.”

Lukas crossed the courtyard, his hands in his pockets, a blush creeping into his cheeks.

It had been so long since they’d talked…she’d been in her own world lately and though she hated to admit it, she was doing it again. Shutting the people out that she loved the…[Read more]

*cough, cough*

1. Senseless miscommunication. (Need clarification?)
2. Senseless offences (how dare she buy her favorite ice cream with her birthday money? Or how dare he not tell me he was a secret agent! Like what did you expect him to do? I get it if this isn’t cleared up until late in an…

@esther-c

1: love triangles. I fine them incredibly unrealistic and often ridiculous.

2: no communication. The entire plot should not be able to be resolved with a 5 minute conversation. Like seriously. This may be a problem in real life, but do I want to real a full 300+ pages about a couple misunderstanding each other because they aren’t…[Read more]

@loopylin @whalekeeper

Sorry it’s been a bit. I’m back now.

Viktor (Library)

“Pre Algebra. I wanted to skip a grade or two, but my parents made me stay in fifth. Apparently I don’t ‘spend enough time with kids my age’. But at least they’re letting me do advanced math.”

Brea rolled her eyes at her algebra book and turned the page. Apparently…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Gotcha!

@whalekeeper

Have fun!!

@ellette-giselle

Wellllll. They never came in. As complete strangers, they would not enter unless given an invitation. Sylvia was obviously in need of a shower and a nap.

They are sitting on a bench under the stairs waiting for the next trolley to come by and using the opportunity to watch for the Leo’s return. They might have left by now or not…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

You’re good. They kind of work together.

@whalekeeper

@koshka

Whoops!

I guess we’ll say Koshka’s post came before mine.

@ellette-giselle

Her characters have left, but are now friends of Silvia’s, and shall probably be pulled into her world from this point forward.

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Leo

He set his helmet down on top of the rest of his suit and snapped the locker shut. A grin tugged at his mouth.

“She’s just commenting on how beat up you are. You know, using phrases with descriptive situations, even if she knows there aren’t any SE-13N ships around here. Like the phrase ‘Did you get the plates…[Read more]

Rory

Leo must not have been listening to the conversation between him and Silvia, and Silvia was too interested in tea to alleviate his confusion.

The woman spoke from her chair behind him. “So, I have to introduce myself first before you give me any explanation. Is that what Rory wants?”

Rory jumped at his name and sw…[Read more]

Welp. I wasn’t sure I would join. Then S. D. Smith shared a link in his newsletter and I took it as a sign. XD

I’ll probably work on Project Golden Song, but who knows, I might suddenly need to revisit my children’s novel about squirrels and madcap otters.

@koshka  @whalekeeper

Rory

Rory was even more confused. “Snipe Ship? I’m not a marine.” He looked to Leo for help.

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Silvia

Her forehead wrinkled. She blinked. “Orders? What do you mean? I was talking about the fact that you look like you tried to fight a snipe ship and the ship won.”

She rubbed the back of her neck and stifled a yawn. Mystery Lady appeared at the kitchen door, lovely smell smell trailing her into the room. Tea,…[Read more]
