Darn midwestern tornado season.

Tell me about it 😵‍💫😂

Did y’all stay safe??

@elishavet-pidyon

Biblical gender identity because that’s the world we live in.

I would say keep any gender issues out of MG. I was reading MG at 7ish, and my parents never told me about any of that stuff until I was a teen. Finding out about it, even from a Biblical perspective, would have traumatized tiny me.

I see a huge difference in the spiritual maturity of the homeschoolers vs. the public schoolers.

Seriously. My sister has a Christian friend about her age who’s public schooled, and my sister, who is NEVER someone I’d consider mature, seems more mature next to this friend. The friend is 9 and she’s already dating for one thing, and s…[Read more]

I love MG! That’s the age range I read most! I would assume this novel would be contemporary too?

What did/do you enjoy about your favorite MG novels?

Kids were allowed to be kids and have fun adventures outdoors, with minimal parental supervision. The MCs were independent, intelligent, and realistic. They’re more relatable than YA,…[Read more]

We are in our basement right now under a tornado warning. Prayers would be appreciated.

@rae

Glad you’re feeling better!

@esther-c

Praying! Darn midwestern tornado season.

Supposed to get some more severe weather tonight. To be completely honest, I’m a little worried, even though we’ve never gotten a tornado in our neighborhood (even though we’ve lived here for 15+ years). It’d be great if the sirens didn’t go off at all and we didn’t have to go down to the basement (because then we don’t have to lose any sleep if…[Read more]

@theshadow

I am so so so sorry for not getting back to you sooner!! this got buried under a bunch of other things I had to take care of. But I’m back!

So far, for the first one I want it to be set in the summer or fall, and be about two high schoolers sending paper airplanes to each other from really far away and the two’s relationship and how…

Hallie NO. I spent that whole scene with that sinking feeling that a character was about to do something stupid and she did. *sigh*

🤭

My dad is only 5’8” and he’s still 10 times the man that your Patrick is, Hallie. *glares*

Lemme just say, if there’s ever a sequel, Patrick’s coming back…

And you’ll prolly see what I mean by…[Read more]

The body language and expressions in the 1st and 4th panels especially are amazing XD

Celarent

Mateo didn’t even know what school was? Celarent sighed. “It’s where you learn stuff. If you want to get anywhere in life, you better figure that out.” He paused. “Oh, right. You aren’t going anywhere in life anyway.” Mateo ought to get expelled. Celarent hadn’t spent days forging paperwork just to attend class…[Read more]

I have a related question. I need help on several other character’s reactions to the fact that one will die, particularly her best friend and grandfather.

@elishavet-elroi

I love Grace Livingston Hill so much! My great grandmother had a beach house, and it was full of old romance novels. Her GLH books were what got me into romance.

@trailblazer

I had several fanfics for the Boxcar Children when I was younger. The one actually had a coherent plot, which is more than I can say for most of my WIPs. XD

I have no idea. I read so many things as a child, and while I still love many of them, I’m not sure how much influence which ones have had on my writing. XD The Green Ember definitely influenced my first WIP though.

@raxforge

Sorry I took so long to respond here. I saw this when I was sick and forgot to get back to it. Anyway, I enjoyed that and don’t really have feedback beyond what others have said.

@esther-c

Hallie NO. I spent that whole scene with that sinking feeling that a character was about to do something stupid and she did. *sigh*

She felt petite next to him, although she had never been the tallest girl around at five feet four inches.

Antonio wasn’t that tall. Hallie guessed that he couldn’t be over five feet ten inches.

My dad is…[Read more]
