Marcel

“Hey, hey, hey!” Marcel separated the two with a guarding hand. “We will not kill anybody. And I will not allow unnecessary attacks. Do you both understand?”

Hugo
The group passed the lobby bar. Hugo stopped to grab Victor and Lois cups of hot chocolate, and to grab a thermos.

Chapter 12 out now!

I was talking to my sister last night about the story, and we decided on a couple of things that would make us both more comfortable reading and writing in the story, which would also make things less awkward for the characters. However, I still will not rewrite…[Read more]

@theducktator

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.

That’s a valid point! What I meant is illustrated anyway in a decent book. Have your characters behave…[Read more]

@theducktator

Yeah for real. My group of middle school girls ironically happens to be mostly homeschooled, but one of the other leaders has a group that is mostly public schoolers, and you can clearly see the difference. Quite often, I’ll come away from our small group time encouraged by the fact that my girls were sharing testimonies of things…[Read more]

@theducktator

Agh yes I am lol

I’ve missed being on here :/

I’ve been so busy between school and work! (I recently got a job at a coffee shop which is good because I get money! But hard because I don’t have as much free time anymore!)

@theducktator @whalekeeper @esther-c @jonas @highscribeofaetherium @theshadow @grcr

I wrote some new chapters!

They’re really, REALLY rough but hopefully you guys enjoy them

(It gives me motivation to be able to share what I wrote with people, so thank you for supporting me 😊💜)

@theducktator

Same kinda situation for us! Glad you’re all okay!!

@theducktator

Darn midwestern tornado season.

Tell me about it 😵‍💫😂

Did y’all stay safe??

@theducktator

Praying!! Is it over?

@theducktator @whalekeeper

Mateo

Mateo suddenly stopped playing. “How about I end yours?” His voice became lower, his eyes pierced Celarent’s, striking fear into him in Mateo’s unnatural way.

@theducktator

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]

Some days we kinda forget,

Some WIPS will never go on.

Gotta get the rest of it done,

All the way to the Silver Star.

(Far away, through writer’s block so bold.)

*cough cough*

Although it’s been neglected, it has not been abandoned. We have another chapter!

@whalekeeper @stephie @theducktator @ellette-giselle @keilah-h

Chapter the 11th is out. I’m not too happy with this. I’m not sure I got Martha right in here and this kind of feels like a filler event. (Though it still moves the story forward.) I will press on.

@theducktator

Like the others said, that depends on your characters. (They had some great advice.)

I think it would also depend on how expected/tragic the death was. While doesn’t necessarily lessen grief, it makes a lot of difference in how one processes it. (I think. Not an expert.) In some ways it would be worse, especially if they were…[Read more]

@theducktator

No worries! Thanks for responding!

@theducktator

First off, funny forum signature.

Second, what are the ages of your characters? because in my experience, different ages respond differently to death. Children (under 10 maybe?) usually know that death exists, but aren’t very afraid of it because they don’t understand. Adults, especially people in their 20s, and 40s, for whatever…[Read more]

Sorry I took so long. My braincells for RPs seem to have died for a while.

Maverick 

Maverick gave her a faint smile, giving Navin a quick glance. Navin’s eyes were wide, and frantically looking between the two as if one of them would abruptly explode.

“I do like those,” Maverick began, “Also, I apologize for  plummeting onto the…[Read more]
