WHAT HAPPENED?

You can’t say that and just leave!!!

My first written stories were about the tales I used to tell my little brother about a land called Nutmag (not Nutmeg, NutMAG huge difference, I know). It had talking animals and no humans. I even had a theme song for it that I’d sing before telling Ezra a story. I wrote at least three short stories only about two to three pages long. I still have…[Read more]

Chase

Chase looked at the floor, his eyes black. “Th-that’s sad. S-shall I in-intro-duce him s-sometime? A-all p-people should know f-fawns.” chase made a motion with his hand, as if petting some invisible animal.

@koshka XD  That’s a lot of fruit. Maybe you’re hungry lol

@rae

Felicity 

“Fawns? Like baby deer?” Felicity gave Chase a somewhat confused look. “Well, I don’t know if he’s ever actually seen one. He’s such a city kid.”

@linus-smallprint

Hey, here’s an idea. I have come across some lessons to help improve characters. There are five of them. What if we went through them together, both taking one or two characters that readers felt were flat (that would be Charles and Thom for me) and see what comes out of it? We could invite others to join as well. If we don’t lik…

@elishavet-pidyon

thanks!!!!

@koshka

Okay, so my brain has been reading things with interesting twists to words. I literally just read that as “We’ve reached 500 papayas, guys.”

I almost choked on my yogurt XD

@loopylin

Chase

Chase was confused. Did she not know if this person was a friend or not? “D-does he l-like f-faw, fawwwns?” It was random, and not the best type of q…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Me too!

🤣

@koshka

*gasps in relief and grabs his hand like a lifeline.* NO! Not at all! I’d love to!

(my life is a wreck this week, in case you haven’t noticed. 🤣)

We redecorated the neighborhood, so to speak.

That is amazing! This two have got an awesome relationship! I can’t wait to read their book!

Rory

Rory thought very long and hard about…[Read more]

We’ve reached 500 pages, guys

@rae

Felicity

“He’s my, uh,” Felicity’s face reddened as she suddenly remembered what she had said the day before. She hurriedly turned her face away from Chase for a moment. “He’s my best friend. Or something.”

@koshka

yes!! I do!!! Can I be adopted too?!?? 🥹🥺

Rory

Rory drew in a slow breath as Leo turned off the flame. For a moment that awful scene had threatened to flash through his mind. Thankfully, he’d fought it back.
This time.
“There, all done. Now we let that cool and don’t let any kids sign their names in it like they did the pavem…[Read more]

@koshka

Oh my word! WHY CAN’T HE BE MY OLDER BROTHER!?!? I need a Leo!!😭😍

Rory

“I’ve done this plenty,” Leo said. “Maybe not on tile, but heaps of other stuff. Did it hanging off my ship once when we had an air leak out of atmosphere.”

Ship…. atmosphere. That meant a flying ship. An airplane.

fighter jets

Rory sucked in a sharp bre…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Oh you’re not the one. It was more like you voiced what was already bothering me. I’m sorry if I made it seem like it was somehow your fault. 😌

Maybe God will use this book will encourage Christians to venture into dangerous places to share the gospel!

I’d like that. But even more, I wanted it to wake people up to the fact…[Read more]

@keilah-h

yeah

@keilah-h

Oh It’s not just @linus-smallprint. He just said a few things that have already been bothering me in the back of my mind. It’s this aggravating struggle to rewrite something and pull it out of the ditch of not-so-great writing and up to the level I have worked to achieve now.

It’s always been a story that’s been close to my heart,…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Unless you have something exponentially more important, I’d say go for it.

Why? What reason do I have?

(not to sound dark or depressed. But is it truly worth it?)

@koshka

Rory

Rory slid back, but his eyes were locked on Leo’s hands in a half memorized, half terrified stare. There was a very bad memory at the edge of his mind, and he didn’t know what it was, but he really didn’t want it let out.
