Stepheroni and Cheese

@stephie

I am also fine with most magic, including Harry Potter, though I know a lot of Christians are not. I’m also okay with some swearing, but not a lot. Stormlight Archive has about the maximum amount of swearing that I’m willing to read. As for sexual content, I’ve read To Kill a Mockingbird, (it was amazing), which is about my limit.

Also,…

Y’all GUESS WHAT. Marcel has a best friend now and I am in love with this character concept. Like I actually cannot. It’s so good. I can’t talk about it because I like to leave new characters to simmer for a week or so before I mess with them… but he needed a best friend and NOW HE HAS ONE

I will say she…[Read more]

Hey, did Chase invite Mars somewhere or… I can’t remember XDXD Speaking of, the child will not have a date at the rate we’re going, so I know at least one student will be stuffing chocolates in his mouth, in the corner alone.

The lights went out.

Pax shrunk away into the darkness. The cold air stopped blowing around them, and outraged voices outside told them the power completely let out.

“I wonder who did it…” Hugo whispered. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”

@loopylin

Okay he’s distracting em now. Ready to send out the twin squad.

This looks fun! I love discussing books with people!

One thing I like to do with book clubs is read the same book at the same time, but not the same chapters. That way everyone can read at their own pace. (I always read ahead anyways lol)

Yes. I always read ahead too.😂

I have some ideas on how we’d decide which books to read — I thi…

I absolutely love it when I take a short break from creative endeavors, and when I come back, everything clicks together, I get a half dozen new character ideas, a new plot device occurs to me… I highly recommend taking week-long breaks, because this is awesome.

@godlyfantasy12

Sure, no prob!

@loopylin

Oh that’s a perfect explanation, thank you for digging into that! Because I didn’t have the brain power to explain it even though it was on my mind.

@freed_and_redeemed

Lol, I’ll take it 😂

I am also sorry if anything I said sounded overly aggressive or intimidating…
I just feel like this is an important topic. Knowing every story -…[Read more]

Overheard at dance: “He gave me really creepy vibes! And he poured his milk before his cereal!” “What? Only psychopaths do that!”

@keilah-h

Ooh, I want to see Abraham Lincoln with a flamethrower!

@keilah-h

hehe my brother called his pacifier “Ash” for some reason? He didn’t literally name it, he just said the word that way for some reason lol

Lol. I called them “passies” and for a time they were named after my cousins.

My co-op notes were full of cute dinosaur characters giving their opinions on logic and Spanish.

I love that. I wish I lea…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when hearing someone misuse “literally” makes you figuratively want to pull your hair out.

You know you’re a writer when you talk to a spatula. (His name is Bob, he’s 33, and he’s a vegetarian.)

You know you’re a writer when you kept your pacifiers until you were 8, not because you used them, but because they all had…[Read more]

Your Royal Immensely Benevolent Lowness, the Black Mongoose! May Your Tail Always Be Shiney! Indeed, it is most difficult to kiss something when one has a bill, instead of lips. I do thank thee for pardoning my ungraciousness in refusing to kiss thy paw. However, I do have certain standards of cleanliness, which a twice a month bath…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Thanks!

Goose sounds amazing!😂 Legos are so fun. I have a lego guy by the name of Christopher Cornelius who has a car that is basically a box on wheels covered in random pieces, including propellers, antennas, and flowers. His poor daughter is so embarrassed.

@esther-c

That is such a good article! I especially love what she said about darkness and brokenness being so prevalent in fiction nowadays. I see this in teen contemporary books especially. The characters all have dysfunctional families, get drunk, are cruelly bullied, tragically lose family, etc. I want more Penderwick-type adventures, but with…[Read more]

@grcr

Thank you!! 😊😄

@everyone

Ok guys, you have to check out this article.

It’s a guest post on @gracie-j ’s blog and it’s really good!! It kinda has to do with what we’re talking about… sort of… okay, I don’t know, but it’s really good anyway and y’all should read it! XD

@whalekeeper

Right! You have similar themes, you just don’t press into the theme as directly.

Yeah, that’s a good way to put it.

@freed_and_redeemed

Now I feel like I probably write more emotion than most of y’all here😂

Which is not a bad thing! You write them really well 😊 And I feel like your books, at least what I’ve read of them, focus m…[Read more]
