@koshka @ellette-giselle You two are on. 🙂 Any ideas? ^

My protagonist is often anxious, and he anticipates the worst in a situation. I want him to be likable though. Any thoughts?

Many YA novels have unhappy, anxious protagonists, and while I realize they’re realistic, a part of me recoils because they would be so unfun to hang out with in real life.

I think he might have a quiet, more positive…[Read more]

@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?

@koshka

I think Leo needs you.

I kidnapped him and have been injecting him into random scenes of “flash fiction” with Rory for fun, just to see what would happen should I introduce a Leo-like character.

He keeps dying.

Tell your dude to stop saving poor lost characters. It doesn’t end well. 😭

@koshka

wow. Okay, so does it take something brutal to make you comment, because I haven’t heard from you in ages. 😂

@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]

@linus-smallprint

Whoops. 🫣😂

Good-bye, Aelic

yeah. 😭

There’s a close friend to our family who is very passionate about scripture memorization. He has memorized the entire New Testemant and has made it his goal to encourage others to memorize God’s word. He talks about how we don’t really forget anything, and sometimes, with a little push,…

NEXT SECTION!

When Leon woke, the light in the shed was very dim. He could hear the sound of voices and pounding and feet hurrying back and forth outside. “I wonder what they’re doing,” he muttered. He began to wonder how the villagers…

I find it really funny that whenever I want something quick to read, there’s always a new scene posted on here. XD

I highly suggest you first begin to prepare by seeking out a queen fit to rule alongside you and produce an heir.

Bro has a schedule, hehe. Do royal homework, get wife, produce baby.

So I can spend my time that…

@freed_and_redeemed

YIPPPY!!!!!!!!!

OOOOOOooooooo!!

This is going to be a good one!

one thing I noticed, you capitalize this mysterious “he” and in my mind a capitalized “He” makes me think of God/Jesus. I know it’s not, but it’s the first thing that came to mind. So maybe lowercase it?

Anyhow, this was really, really good! I…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

What kinds of hairstyles do you usually wear?

I usually wear my hair in mini braids threaded with gold ribbon. For parties, I wear it half up have down most of the time and sometimes it is beaded.

What is your best subject in school, and does school really matter because of your birth privilege?

Though I am good at all of my subjects,…[Read more]

I love the trope when a character starts crying and whoever they’re with at the moment starts inwardly freaking out because they have no idea what to do because they’ve never seen that character like this before, and they are NOT good at being the emotional support friend but they want to help and what on earth are they supposed to do??? I…[Read more]

@keilah-h

aw, thank you!

@ellette-giselle Well I think it’s great so far, so yep, you did your job.

@keilah-h

Draft 4 = I think it’s great, lets let people tear into it and see if it really is.

@ellette-giselle

ohhhh.

By Draft 4 pretty much everything is solidified, right?

And I don’t mean “don’t make them die through the entire story,” just “don’t kill them this early in the book without a good replacement.”

@keilah-h

Haha! That’s funny. I do have a weak spot for tragedy.

This is draft 4.

I make no comment what-so-ever.

Speaking of which, I don’t put swearing in my animations….lol. That’s not what I meant.

It was the animation style and the characters that made my dad think of me.

@ellette-giselle

Hmm. We’ll have to see.

What draft is this? If this is a first or second draft I could forgive you for killing them off and yeeting us into some random’s POV, cause it’s still rough and maybe you just figured out that killing them works for the story. But if it’s the final draft, almost ready for publishing, and you did that, I…[Read more]

The presentation was a success! Thanks to everyone who helped by filling out the survey!
