Kari

Perched atop an elk, Kari shifted to a more comfortable position. She had taken some horseback riding lessons in fifth grade, but quit after the horse she was riding took a disliking to her and did everything in its power to buck her off. Being atop an animal again wasn’t exactly a pleasant idea, but this elk seemed to like her, and Kari had…[Read more]

He pushed aside all her ideas and concentrated, “How about something like… I dunno… Elkie?”

I don’t know why that made me laugh, but I started cracking up and had to explain to my brothers what was so funny.

@hybridlore

 I sometimes worry that I’m too attached to my writing and that it’s become an idol, or that I’m writing purely for myself and that I should be writing for God.

Ok so this is something I’ve been trying to figure out how to balance, too! On the one hand, I recognize that God has given me a gift to write, and I want to use and grow t…[Read more]

@rae

Ooooh the characters each get an elk? I love that! Now excuse me while I go think up the perfect name for Kari’s elk!

I’m going to be really sad if her elk dies.

@rae

Sorry, I probably won’t be of much help then… sci-fi isn’t my genre of experience.

@hybridlore @savannah_grace2009

Oh I’ve got plenty of ideas… somewhere XD. If I can locate them, I’ll add them.

@rae

What type of setting is your character in? Or maybe a better way to phrase it, is which genre? Fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary?

@acancello @savannah_grace2009

“I’m not sure,” Kari replied. “I think it started sometime after the newest girl- is her name Carrie, too?- left the dining hall, but it seemed like a bunch of soldiers showed up right after the fire began, so it’s most likely that they started it to cause chaos so that we wouldn’t be able to stay organized and…[Read more]

I always have multiple WIP’s… I bounce around depending on what I have inspiration for.

Kari

It was a relief to be outside, away from the fire and fighting. Kari spotted Hugo and Ottoline off to one side, next to a horse (I think Marcurious was in the form of a horse most recently, am I correct? If not, @jonas can change it in the doc).

“Hugo! Ottoline! I’m glad you two are okay!” Kari called as she hurried to…[Read more]

@jonas @rae @everyone-else

I’m back!!

I assume Kari is now outside? I can RP with her joining Ottoline and Hugo.

@savannah_grace2009

I love that! I want to hear more of the story! Is this all from your personal experience or did you add some parts?

Kari

As smoke filled the dining hall, Kari couldn’t see very well what was happening around her. Everything had erupted in chaos, and she was not prepared to fight. Backing into an obscure corner, she began praying for help. What could she use to fight? Glancing down at the ground, she noticed a knife lying near her feet. It must have ended up on…[Read more]

@rae

Depending on the prompt, I might join in, too. It sounds fun!

@rae

Just don’t kill Fennin too or our charries will never get home.

@jonas @highscribeofaetherium @rae @savannah_grace2009 @beth-torres

Well now I’m finally caught up and everyone else has to go lol.

@jonas @rae @highscribeofaetherium

Do you know how strange this entire story would sound to someone who hasn’t been a part of it? A group of youth get locked into a house that talks to them and forces them to have a masquerade ball, and then they get sucked into another world by a queen who wants them to fight off dragons. The odds are stacked…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 @rae @freedomwriter76 @anyone else

Almost just tagged myself by mistake lol.

“Material possessions mean a great deal to many people,” Hudson observed. “Perhaps it won’t hurt her too badly to realize that life is more than the expensive articles she can collect.”

Before Reuben could reply, Mr. Baumann re-entered the…[Read more]

“Can’t you… you know? Suck it all back in… or something?”

Lol this made me laugh!
