A conversation over text between me and @rae

Me: Ruth

Me: Ruth

Ruth: What is it?! What’s wrong?!

Me: Life or death question

Ruth: What?

Me: Do you want me to keep the sideburns or get rid of them?

Ben Gunn and Flare – Group 1, Everstrand edge

Flare looked down from the roof top at the kid who just became unconscious as Ironwalkers surrounded him. He drew his sword.

“Flare don’t-” Ben didn’t finish his sentence when Flare jumped down. When he landed, he ran towards the…[Read more]

@raxforge @ellette-giselle I probably won’t do it either, but that’s just because I can’t think of anything that I could write for such a broad subject.

@ellette-giselle

I have decided not to participate this time around. My belief is that death should not be taken lightly. I cannot write about death that might make others feel uncomfortable or offended. I know people who have dealt with people dying and have seen them dying. That is something that that person has to deal with the rest of their…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Come on, Ellette! You’re gonna leave me on that!? Your cliffhangers…

Just teasing. I like Julian’s reaction—it feels very realistic like Linus said, even though I’m not a boy so I don’t know exactly how men react to those situations. As far as I know, it looks good.

@anyone who cares which will probably be nobody but ehh.

I have been learning to animate in Blender…..

and I believe I have partaken in one of the most glorious feelings known to man:

animating something and watching it move by itself, and thinking that this has been your greatest creation thus far.

Was this how God felt when he created…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal @theducktator I get into enough ruckuses with my 1 younger brother, anything more than that would be C R A Z Y.

Other than Kefa’s “My brothers probably hate me” problem, what’s it like?

oh and you’re welcome for the feedback!

@freed_and_redeemed oooh I like it!

have you already started the 3rd book?

@ellette-giselle ohhh cool! yeah Tron’s soundtrack is a great one to have on in the background when you’re writing, or sometimes I put it on when I’m in the car on a long trip.

This is from the TV show, which was pretty god but only lasted like 1 season.

bored so im sharing more pics. this one is of all the main characters of my current/most important wip, TPE.

(starting from the girl on the phone and swirling out to the boy on the pillow: Evelyn, Leif, Cameron, Jara, Henson, Kiran, Blaine, Frin, Iniko, Lily, Ira (in the far back), and Flaz.)

@ellette-giselle I don’t think you’re playing with demonic powers.

Putting an actual detailed ritual by the Imperial priests could be, for example, but simply the mention that a pagan temple has an evil presence hovering over it is, if anything, as realistic as you can make it.

The music track? Oh, it’s funny cause it is a synth-heavy…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle what you said about the temple feeling evil to Joseph makes sense to me. I, personally, have never been to any form of pagan temple (not even the ruins of one, that I can remember anyway) , but honestly the very fact that I would be standing in what was once used for or currently used for the worship of a false god (especially if…[Read more]

Riker Aesthetic for the 3rd book👀

and Bucky aesthetic (for fun)

@ellette-giselle @theducktator @rae @keilah-h Thanks y’all! 😁

@keilah

like in Freedom’s Fire you see him as mostly heartless and cruel, but in all the other books he is more humanized–he has a brother, he has a family, he has reasons for why he did what he did. Not that they were good reasons, mind you, but it means that it upsets you that…

 Forth section:

Joseph looked up at Darrien. His face was white, and his finger’s tightened on the door frame. He used his other hand to gently push Joseph back. “Please, the children had nothing to do with it, nor did the women. I was the one who hid him. Take me but leave the others.”

This felt unessasary. Julian only said t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Poor Linus. You’ll have so much catching up to do. Sorry.

Yeah, yesterday was rather busy. Oh well. I have time today.

(By the way, I should let you know that I’m not bothering to read the  feedback others are giving you, so if anything has come up that you want more thought on, please let me know.)

Feedback for the third se…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Feedback for the second section:

Don’t have too much to say about this one. Joseph kind of falling back to where he was before, but it is easy to see why.

He could hear Noah and Sabina praying together, and for a moment he thought Aaron was captured, for this was how it had been.

This is a nice peak back into what they were all…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

NEXT SECTION!!!!!!

Okay, that’s a lot of exclamation marks. You know five exclamation marks is a sure sign of madness, right? But you couldn’t settle for five, you went for six. (But who am I kidding, we’re all authors. Madness is sure to come with that.) Ellette, what are you doing to Joseph?

Feedback for the first of those…[Read more]
