Ryla

Ryla stopped as she heard loud chatter. Maybe if she just stood against the wall and stared at the floor people wouldn’t notice her. Suddenly a boy shrieked and fell over her foot. Ryla started. The boy looked up at her.

“The floor… What a great place to delve in the deep depths of sorrow and ponder unanswered questions,” he…[Read more]

This had better not be Baron!

I’ve been wondering this too. One of my characters is in a similar predicament. Like Whaley suggested, she wrote letters to those she loved. Some of this will depend on whether your character is at peace with their death or not. *subscribes because I’m stuck too*

@whalekeeper

That first one is soooo true. XD

@linus-smallprint

Lucky. I wish we got more snow. It’s been in the 70s today. Beautiful, but I want to go sledding.

@kathleenramm

Are you still letting in new people? What’s happening? Are you alive?

@the_lost-journal

Nice! I hope it works!

@linus-smallprint

Now I need to go shovel.

Did you get snow???

@the_lost-journal

I’ll keep praying.

@the_lost-journal

Oh my gosh. That’s dreadful. I’ll be praying.

@linus-smallprint

Yay!

(I kind of want to tag some people who haven’t read book one yet to see how well I can provide context in book II, but maybe I will wait for a later draft for that. what do you think?)

One of my pet peeves is when authors provide tons of context about book I in book II. If you start at the middle book in a series, then y…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

I do want to hear their sides. XD

Paisley’s crying? Now I feel bad…sort of. XD

@beth-torres

Your characters can run into one of mine. ^

Ryla

Ryla watched at Liko returned to his work. Great. Now she had to talk to more people. Not really sure where she was going, she wandered down a nearby hallway. Maybe no one would talk to her. She couldn’t decide whether that would be good or bad.

Vyette

Vyette pulled her schedule out of her bag. Her first subject was Foreign Literature. She…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

one more book I can’t remember the name of where two children discover a hidden town by a lake during summer holidays. (All I remember is that the boy has braces, which remind the girl of a car’s bumper. I think the boy’s name was Julian.)

Gone-Away Lake! I love that book!

I could survive Laerylia during the beginning of the first book. I’d need to stay inside at night, carry a weapon, say nothing against the Sacrifice, not voice my support for President Lotan, avoid the High Priest, and not be at all powerful. After Lotan’s assassination, things get more complicated as those who have ever voiced support for him are…[Read more]

Celarent

Celarent picked himself up off the ground and dusted himself off, relieved that Mateo had let go of him. Somehow, the all consuming fear had left him. He turned to Bird Boy and gave him his most charming grin, hoping to fix the terrible first impression he’d just made. “Thank you. Where is this Foreign Culture class?”

@the_lost-journal

Oops, I missed that we couldn’t vote Piper. Paisley then.
