4am? Oof. I wish we had snow. We got a foot a few weeks ago, but now it’s almost all melted. We got some great sledding while it lasted though.

@loopylin

I’m at work too. The baby’s in bed screaming. 😭 She never wants to nap anymore. I’m about to give up and pick her up again. Where do you work?

@mineralizedwritings

Yep!

Wait guys are our characters wearing crowns?? They are princes after all right?

Wait, what if they have to earn their crowns and they get special customized ones after a while? That might be fun.

@ellette-giselle

Yeah I’ve always loved hanging out with older folks. I’m just super conditioned to calling people Mr. or Mrs. and feeling disrespectful otherwise.

To put it in perspective, I’ve gone to bed at 8, woken at 8, and felt hungover until noon. My mum has insomnia. It’s just a quality of sleep thing.

@elishavet-pidyon

If it’s not lack of sleep hygiene, it’s little creatures about three feet tall with runny noses.

The HOrRoR. 🤣 I have some adult mom friends (friends? Weird to say when I’m nineteen but I can’t think of any other word) who have hyper crazy kids and still have a tight schedule. I don’t know how they do it.…[Read more]

@grcr That’s okay. Whatever you want to do. :]

@loopylin

Sorry for skipping last week. How did the last two weeks go? Were you still enchanted by crochet, or did you manage to pull away and put in some writing time?

Lucille

“…I don’t know,” Lucy admitted. “Hypotheses are hard.”

Her thoughts didn’t make much sense out loud. She watched as two little black eyestalks popped out of the shell in Mel’s palm.

@ellette-giselle Ok good!

Not a Great KP Scare meme but too relatable. Agreed with my mum that I need to get into the doctor again because I might be developing her chronic sleeping issues.

@ellette-giselle

Okay. I’m sorry your head hurts. Have you eaten? Drunk water? Gone for a walk? Snuggled with a pet?

@grcr

Aw. What might motivate you?

@ellette-giselle

I want to know about the specific situation in your story. Vaguely mentioning the Soviets and New York is not painting me a clear picture.

Or I’m just stupid and this concept is not clicking for me. *Cries*

I should shut up 😅 Okay, never mind all this

I just realized you might still be deciding all this. I’m sorry if this is not something you’re confident on. Questioning dystopian premises is what I do every time I read a book with this stuff.

@ellette-giselle

Meaning? Is America taken over by another country and that country is the one making the laws?

@ellette-giselle

I get that. I was actually saying I don’t see how that’s a viable strategy for a country right after a world war and civil war.

This is the thing I said that I’m most concerned about:

Because you just said family is what the men believe is worth fighting for, and if this is still America and they’re ravaged this badly, w…

@ellette-giselle

actually, there is a bill that got passed by america allowing homosexual couples to have children

I’m not sure what this has to do with my questions. *Mind-scattered confusion* Am I just not understanding the link between this and what I asked?

@ellette-giselle

Wait, is this still the American government enacting everything or is this another country controlling it? Because you just said family is what the men believe is worth fighting for, and if this is still America and they’re ravaged this badly, wouldn’t they want people to have a fighting motive? Taking family away just makes…[Read more]

@koshka

We’ll see.

That’s the fun of not knowing how your own story will turn out in the end, I suppose. You can’t plan everything. (One side of me wishes it were possible, though.)
