I don’t know a whole lot of YA as it’s not my main reading. But I do know some clean middle grade fiction, and some clean Christian “adult” fiction.

MG recommendation:

The Mysterious Benedict Society. While not Christian, it’s Very fun, completely clean action and adventure.

YA:

Who is your favorite obscure Bible character? Hmmm Ehud? (Or like Samazaya but he isn’t in the Bible, he’s in the book of Enoch.)

What is your favorite variety of pancake? …. Normal? idk lol I like to top pancakes with scrambled eggs and syrup.

Also, just out of curiosity, are you going to keep your name since you’ve published under it?

I have to ask. What is the plan with all these pigeons?

i imagine Paris is insufferable. He’s the dude who kidnapped Helen right?
(Sigh I need to read the Iliad. I need to find a good translation that’s easy-ish to read. I don’t mind a difficult read but it gets annoying sometimes.)

I appreciate you letting me live. lol it’s…[Read more]

Oooooh. Well in that case, my hill to fatally and unseriously perish upon would be that country music isn’t real music. (If you like country music, I’m really sorry. But I stand by this.)

Hello there!

My answers:
I just like good old chocolate chip pancakes.

I could carry like- 10 pigeons probably, if some of them didn’t mind being stuffed in hoodie pockets. I might get annoyed with their poop and throw them off a cliff though.

I would have… hmm. Good question. Fire or lightning. Probably lightning, bc then I c…[Read more]

I nanny 3 kids. One of them I’ve been nannying from when he was born! It was the most precious moment when I got to hold him at the hospital a day after he was born. 

ummm…I like blue berry dark chocolate pancakes specifically made from scratch.

ummm…Princess Academy is a good one!

Hiiiii!! I’m Stellybean! But you already knew that!! Sadly no, I do not possess a real duck. I am just creepily obsessed with the rubber ones. I’ve built an army from the little claw machine at the local arcade. They all sit upon my desk, waiting to charge into Mordor behind me. (After I decapitate the Mouth of Sauron. Not rea…[Read more]

The Bible is very clear on how to be saved. In Acts 2:38, the crowd asks Peter what they must do to be saved. He says: “Repent AND be baptized, each of you, in the n…[Read more]

^ Tagging y’all for this quarter’s book club. ^

I probably messaged a dozen different emails trying to find the mods. 😂 Ellette happened to find the right one when KP went down temporarily. But we didn’t contact Reagan further until the other day, when I asked Ellette if she could find his contact again. We probably could have done this sooner, but life is busy.

I or Koshka will…[Read more]

Haha! Thank you! ☺️ I’m just so, so happy to be able to keep KP up and going!

Lol! Congratulations. XD

I don’t think I actually have/had a fictional crush… Although it may sound like it when I talk about some characters. (As I learned when trying to describe one from a friend’s story to a different, uninitiated friend. The amount…[Read more]

Is that different? And I think so…

Colleges focus on undergraduate degrees (Associates and sometimes Bachelor) and certificates. Universities typically offer all of those plus Graduate degrees (Masters and PH.Ds).

College are smaller, so smaller class sizes (20 to 30 student), more personalized attention, a tighter-knit e…[Read more]

They have a 20% acceptance rate though.😭😭😭

I may end up taking a gap year and doing the same so I can earn some money and also more credits to hopefully increase my chances at a scholarship.

It sounds like you are going to a university?

I know. *hands you wrinkle cream*

I also have not been to college because I am extremely academically burnt out, but I’m glad I seem like someone who possibly has. (Going to ignore the old person comment.)

Sorry I can’t be helpful. Wishing you luck on your academic endeavors 👍

I work at (and am writing this from) the front desk of a college’s registrar’s office (The unofficial helpdesk of the college). What Elishavet and Koshka is pretty dead on.

I will add first of all that. . . it’s rather confusing. 🤣

We (College Admission and Registrar folks) expect students to know very little about the process…[Read more]

Hello! Good to hear from you! Thank you! I will let you know when I finish draft three!

Keep practicing with your animation! I’ll have to check out your channel again to see how you have progressed.

Glad to hear from you again as well. I hope college goes well for you. What are you trying to get into?

I’m left out! *sulks*

Oh my gracious. XD

From the perspective of someone who’s both attended college, is attending college, and has worked in college admissions offices…Remember, colleges want students. Colleges need students. They will be looking for reasons to make you pick them, not reasons to…[Read more]

I do attend college! (Have graduated from a secular college and am now attending a Christian one) I’m not sure I can help with one that requires an interview, but I can try. Is there anything specific you are wondering about?

I think my story has outgrown all the powers and stuff. it just makes it complicated!!

It should be happening now. Is it? Umm.

It shall be a moment.

Tomorrow sounds good! Maybe starting at 1:00?

Also, sorry I didn’t respond in time to chat, Whaley. I fell asleep on lunch break and took a 2.5 hour nap instead of writing. So, I hope you got rest too…

Awesome! Would you like to meet today in fortyish minutes? (1:30) That’s when I’m planning to get my writing out. Or schedule a call for tomorrow since this is short notice?

I wasn’t gonna click on it anyway, I knew we didn’t have anything going on and it looked sus to me, but thanks for the warning.
