I have a snippet from book 1!

Layson sighs, turning sideways to fit through the narrow hallway without bumping the girls. Two of them lean over a small toddler, baby talking and giggling as he shows them a toy. Three others gossip over cleaning, wiping down changing tables and countertops. Layson wanders…

Ok, I’m actually starting to consider kicking Fynn out for a little bit to where he’ll miss the dance…. (Not KILLING HIM.) Idk, what do you think?

Fynn

“N-no, I-I j-just have a, a habit of s-studying people’s eyes. I-I d-didn’t mean a-anything by that c-comment.” Chase placed the suit back, and rubbed the back of his hand. “W-what a-are…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

These are so fun! I will definitely try to do some (I have a new WIP that I plan to do after I finish mine and it starts out in Christmas)

@esther-c

Sorry, idk why it posted twice.

@freedomwriter76

Sounds fun! I might do one or two.

@savannah_grace2009

I totally understand!

I know that I personally get over doubting myself and my writing pretty easily, because I talk myself into or out of things all the time. XD So if I’m thinking my writing isn’t very good, I just remind myself of a ton of things I’ve learned over the years and then I push through it. But I under…[Read more]

Livia

Liv sighed dramatically and looked at Xandro, and then back at the woman. “It’s not that I’m trying to break the rules or anything, but I don’t feel good about leaving Xandro unattended in a busy mall. Especially with Lukas a couple shops down and Xandro on a sugar high,” she pursed her lips.

“Well, rules are rules,” the lady…[Read more]

Here’s what Amir typically wears.

…

…

Ok pics aren’t working. XD

So, he wears long, baggy pants. For reference, I believe they’re called sirwal or harem pants, but think more of a tan color and not like the modern designs. More like ancient Saudi Arabian or Persian. (Or think Aladdin from the Disney movie. XD) His casual top is pretty…[Read more]

Just thought it’d be interesting to interact with a character that belongs to no one. Feel free to RP as her too.

@rae

Fynn

“W-with a blue tie like Callista’s eyes, and a white dress shirt, this would look good,” Chase said, holding out a navy suit.

Fynn smiled. “You’ve noticed her eyes too?”

Chase suddenly looked really nervous and stuttered for something to say.

“Oh, no, I didn’t mean it in that way,” Fynn said, waving his hands back and forth in fron…[Read more]

@acancello

Hugo smiled, he liked to hear her laugh, he would do anything to hear it again.

THAT IS SO SWEET I LOVE IT!

Ottoline

“Elkie?” she burst out laughing. “Why?”

“It’s simple,” he shrugged. “Easy to remember.”

“Elkie,” she repeated. “Very creative, Hugo.”

“I can be creative if I want to be!” he protested.

“Give me one example,” she challenged.

@everyone

I thought I was the only one XD

I am so glad I’m not alone and we can all encourage each other! I really do miss homeschool, because like @trailblazer said, you don’t have to choose between God and writing as much as you do in public school.

Exactly!! I just feel like writing is such a personal thing that it’s super easy to get o…

Hugo

——-

“Well, have you come up with a name?” Hugo asked, trying to figure out how he should hold onto  his elk.

“I’m thinking Ever,” Ottoline patted her Elk’s neck. “You should name yours Aero.”

“Aero?” He laughed. “That’s…just not for him. No…. I think-”

“Do you have any better ideas?” Ottoline challenged.

“No,…[Read more]

@acancello

Lol!

@trailblazer

I don’t know why that made me laugh, but I started cracking up and had to explain to my brothers what was so funny.

Haha! Thanks!

@savannah_grace2009 @everyone

Ive decided that Hugos elks name is actually going to be “Elkie” XD

@everyone

So, I just realized yesterday that I think I’m using something different… Microsoft Word Online? Is that what everyone else has? I think it’s free.

@savannah_grace2009

Gotcha! Yeah, I’ve seen your doc on that website before. It seems to work pretty well, I just think I would prefer seeing my page count in a document for a first…[Read more]

@trailblazer @smiley @beth-torres

On the one hand, I recognize that God has given me a gift to write, and I want to use and grow that gift, but then on the other hand, writing takes a lot of mental space, and I feel like it’s so easy for me to get lost in a story I’m writing, and then I feel guilty when I see how much of my time it consumes whe…

I use Google Docs! It’s what I’ve always used. I think I tried Word one time but went back to Docs the next day. 😂 Formatting gets a little frustrating at times but I’ve slowly learned how to navigate it.
