Of course! By the way, I didn’t mean to sound like I disagree with anything you said. When I said you touched nerves, I meant those thoughts felt very applicable to second-hand pain I have… kind have gone through? Through empathy? Your experience is ten times more direct than mine 😅 I’m thankful to hear your perspective.

@whalekeeper

Ok, That’s alright. You know I’ll always give you my honest opinion and we can’t possibly agree on everything.  Thanks for being kind about it.💗

@ellette-giselle

Oh yes!! I think I’ve seen the quote ‘through darkness, the light shines brightest’ in a couple of kp signatures, which is kinda what you’re saying.

I think I like writing things that can be dark because it’s relatable. I find that some of the Christian places I’ve known in the past aren’t willing to deal with the idea of…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Our Last Hope sounds really cool!!! Yeah, why is it that the darker plots are more intriguing? lol. (Well, I know why they are to me, but no need to branch off on random topics.)

Thank you! I don’t work on it really often but it’s kinda my pride and joy as far as projects go XD

Hey, branching off is what we do here. I’ll listen…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

You and me both girl XD isn’t the point of writing to do something different?

Yesss! Atoh is my priority but I really enjoy my other one.

Yeah, it’s rough. Well, maybe I can help you see another perspective on your mom. I know her chronic illness is different than mine, but depression is common to a lot of chronic illnesses.

One…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6

Awww yess I made you melt! Or well, Tauren probably did XD
Thanks girl!

@whalekeeper

That sounds really cool! Yeah, I think I tend to plot the most for the climax and not do as much for the rest. XD

I feel like a ending that depends on the rest of the story is the best. Anyone can make a generic ending, but having one like that makes it more special.

Y’know it doesn’t feel too alien even though it’s really…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Really?? That’s so cool! I can’t imagine how that must feel.

I’ve been thinking about my secondary project (Our last Hope) for a bit now and I’ve almost completely gotten the beginning figured out. I’m actually finding that writing a tight plot is easier than a loose slice of life style (My story with Tauren). There are distinct…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Aww Tauren😭😭 He’s so adorably awkward I just wanna give him a hug <3

And I can completely relate…I’ve had interactions like that before as well😂

And ahhhhh girlll the scene you posted before this one was sooooo cuteee, I literally melted🥰🥰

@esther-c

I’ve made it a point in the past year or so to make eye contact when I’m listening to someone, but sometimes I start thinking of ways I’d describe their eyes in a book and stop paying attention to what they’re actually saying. 🫣😂

XD I used to trace people’s faces with different colors and try to figure out the dimensions of their face. L…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @loopylin @freed_and_redeemed @lightoverdarkness6 @anyone else

Guys do you want to read a really awkward scene

Btw I have had some social interaction almost this bad bc this is how my brain works XD I hope it pains you deeply

Tauren meanders around the side of the dance floor, watching as Lesli takes her turn with somebody…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

We’re talking about a different movie XD

But I do hope to watch your rec too

@esther-c

Yeah it was really good!

@felicity

Oh my goodness hey!!!

Oh, good luck with that! Sounds like fun and uh stress… lol.

Aw thank you 🥰🥰

@mineralizedwritings

Oh my goodness it’s been ages since I’ve been on here (yes you were right. been busy with college prep actually :0) and I randomly popped on today to find this!! Thanks for the tag! I love reading your writing! <3 My favorite part of this scene is Lesli treating Tauren like a kid and him calling her “mom” lol. 🙂 Keep up the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I think Min means (and she can correct me), as long as you are writing well from a moral standpoint, sharing with your family is really up to you. You don’t have to if you don’t feel like it. ‘Character crimes’ such as an overly emotional guy are up to your personal preferences and can work for a story’s tone.

I mean yeah that too…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Wow, it sounds like you’ve got an awesome family!

Sorry if I was projecting a bit. Despite my family being Christian, they can be really critical. Kinda like what Whaley mentioned above, over preferences for the most part. People who have it like me have to band together and support each other, so whenever I see somebody saying…[Read more]

Guys I did mine but pics aren’t working XD

Remind me to post it when they are back ok? lol
