@rae Aww Chase 🙁  The twins would have visited him in the hospital, but they didn’t know that he was there and they didn’t have much time to wonder about him.

6.

Marbles (also called Marbie) is the one in the photo. She’s my grumpy lady.

Then there’s her sons Mazel and Candy. Button and Hobbes, our adopted stray kittens and finally good ol’ Mr. Mittens.

@whalekeeper

Is that a partial face reveal I see? 🫢

Actually it is.

@ellette-giselle

For some reason I thought of you IMMEDIATELY (probably because we’ve had so many conversations about slapping your writing on paper and NEVER GOING BACK (something that I struggle to not do since I’m a perfectionist lol))

It’s okay!!! I completely understand and I can’t even imagine how hard the past few weeks have been for…[Read more]

I’m a bit late to this.

My art definitely bleeds into my writing a lot. All of my stories have some sort of color palette in my mind, and a lot of my characters, especially from Paper Stars, started as drawings I made. (Ex. Dante, Lemonhead, Mel) And my obsession with turning my old school work into origami stars a few years ago is what inspired…[Read more]

@esther-c

Ok! Yeah, again, do what you wanna do. But if you want some ideas or need a brainstorming partner just lmk!

I will!!! TYSM!!! 🙃

Yes I totally get it!! You definitely don’t have to go through and try to fix everything in the first draft 🥴

ahhhh hahaha yeah, I’d definitely get in trouble with @ellette-giselle if I did that…. (jk jk h…[Read more]

@esther-c

Ohhhh my wordddd

Ok that actually makes so much sense. I felt like the story was moving too fast and wasn’t exactly sure how to slow it down.

Thanks for pointing that out!! <33

Glad I was able to help!!!!!

I do love your dialogue though…you’re so talented in that area!!! Just maybe breaking it up would help A LOT. Because too much o…[Read more]

@stephie

I feel like it totally depends on the situation.

Though, at least for me, something doesn’t feel right about saying “your religion is wrong and false.” Because that tends to get people defensive and push them away from Jesus. I feel way more comfortable with saying “I believe that there is only one God….(etc…)” and just sharing what…[Read more]

If so, then I believe there is a pretty good precedence to do so.

If not, then we likely shouldn’t do it either.

@stephie

I’ll answer your question with a question.

Did Peter, Philip, Stephen, Paul, Priscilla and Aquila, or ultimately Jesus tell anyone that their religion was false or that their god doesn’t exist?

Even you were wrong, but believed you were right, I still think it would be good to disagree with the other person.

All of what I said still depends on the situation and the intentions of the people involved, though.

@stephie

Yes. There are some social situations where it would be inappropriate or pointless to start a fight with someone like that, but if the topic came up, then yes. Tell what you believe is the truth. Staying silent or affirming a something that you do not actually believe in is deceiving the person you are talking with. Yes, it might sting…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I use Pinterest or simply type what I want into a search engine and click “Images”.

I think I’m gonna take Chase out of the hospital now.

Though, I could’ve brought him back earlier, seen as how no one apparently knew he went there anyways

Chase

Chase walked slowly down the sidewalk, looking down at his shoes. His left arm was in a sling, his head hurt terribly, and he was tired, but otherwise okay. He halted his slow walk…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle oh sorry I forgot about that! Eddie would’ve loved to go with Rory, but she’s also the type to jump at the opportunity to go with any guy

@koshka @raxforge

The Twins 

Ellie rolled her eyes.

“Don’t let her scare you,” she said to Syph. “You don’t need a partner. You can just show up. You don’t even need to dance. You could…[Read more]

@esther-c

Sorry I’m just now getting to this!!!!

My main critique would be that you spend a lot of time on dialogue. I kind of feel like we just got thrown into the story and all we know about the characters is because of what they say. Maybe breaking up some dialogue and really showing us who they characters are would help…it kind of feels l…[Read more]

@koshka @raxforge

Ellie 

“Great!” Eddie winked at Syph. “Now you just need to get yourself a girl.”

Rax turned to Ellie, “What about you, do you have a partner?”

She looked surprised. Her attempt to stay unnoticed by her classmates had failed quickly.

“Yes,” she said softly. “My friend Marcel.”

@ellette-giselle

Anti protection squad

This got me laughing out loud pretty hard XD

And, I’m sorry, but after meeting you in person, you’re too sweet to be a psychopath <3

@koshka That dancing sounds cool! I thought of Irish dance when you said his dancing was competitive. And I love that his water magic is part of it.

I used to take Irish dance lessons when I was little *cue nostalgic flashbacks of me being a clumsy child*
