Okay, sounds fine, but you might want to check out Ellette’s profile first. She just put some warning there about using Google.

I don’t know

New chapter on the doc. 😉

Also, TCoH reached 50k on Saturday!! 🥳

@theshadow

Hm, tags seem to be working kind of weird. Our names are not in blue, but I still got an email. 🤔

Absolutely! That seems like it would work great. Let me know when you send out the link!

@theshadow nah mate, you’re fine

(yep I’m leaning fully into it now)

thanks!

@theshadow

I got my eye on ya, mate.

look what you’ve done you’ve encouraged my obsession lollllllll

Now is time for our next random question, served with a side of rainbow cupcakes! (Ugh, I can’t say anything rainbow-y without sounding weird. Oh well.)

So I had Chatgpt come up with the most random question…[Read more]

“Maybe this corner is a dead end.” Jack remarked, turning round. He started, taking a double look. “Uh, the path behind us is gone.”

Hard to follow the rule of staying on the path when the path itself won’t cooperate.

Olivia turned round, and, with the force of a wave on a stormy day, slapped Adaline.

Nice!

“How do you intend on gettin…

@theshadow I can’t help but snicker now every time I read that you’ve replied to something I’ve said, cause that implies you’ve read it 😂

@theshadow

Great!

Also… don’t hurt Everett please!!

Lol. Three of them want me to make him suffer 🤨 My plan hasn’t changed, though. There are challenges ahead, but more for Sara and Cole. And Alec.

@ellette-giselle

*smiles and nods* yes, put those characters through the fire, and we’ll see on the other side who were the true ones, and who wer…

Two new chapters this week! They should be uploaded to the doc now. Excited to hear what y’all think!

@theshadow lolllllll

that’s gonna be weird

@theshadow

It looks good! I don’t have any major critiques. It is a very short chapter, but it does a good job of building on the tension. Also, I like the way you described the trees.

It seems a little weird that Olivia and Adeline and Dylan don’t seem to care about their families… well, maybe Dylan a little bit.

@theshadow

Oooo!! I like this!! This is getting good!

And, what if, what if we don’t make it?

This is a little cluncky because of the punctuation. If you did: “And what if–– what if we don’t make it?” or “And what if. . . what if we don’t make it?” either of those would work well. Use the dash if you want it to read as a sudden horrif…[Read more]

@theshadow

AHAHAHAHAHA

(or whatever Snipes’ laugh is like)

even the posts about me being a simp??? Lol

@savannah_grace2009 @theducktator @grcr @smiley @keilah-h @theshadow @trailblazer

A lot of this is actually first draft material since I was adding in stuff, so bear with me 🫣 But I didn’t want to keep y’all waiting. 😉

“We’re not picking them up, right?” Easton watched Hallie through the rear view mirror.

“No, they’ll mee…[Read more]

@theshadow

Ooh, okay that’s a good idea. I’ll try that, do you have any book suggestions?

Yes! Let’s see…

• Anything by Robin Jones Gunn — she’s literally my favorite author ever and I absolutely love her writing. I’ve heard mixed opinions on her books (some saying they’re cheesy or unrealistic) but it think they’re really good. If you don’t like…

@savannah_grace2009

Thanks!! <33

one thing I’ll suggest, is that I feel like you don’t really introduce the family to us in the first few chapters. At first I wasn’t even sure if Blake was their sibling or not XDXD

They do have a HUGE family, so setting a solid foundation and making all the siblings and the parents unique and established in ou…

@theshadow

Awesome, thanks!

@linus-smallprint

Great, thank you!! What made you guess that? You’re right xD

@theshadow

What exactly is contemporary writing? Books that come to mind when I hear this and the projects you are describing are Swallows and Amazons, The Moffats, and 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…[Read more]
