Trailblazer

@savannah_grace2009

I had a teacher who used to pretend he was a cat…. Sometimes I questioned his sanity lol. I think he should’ve been teaching kindergarten instead of high school.

@anyone

Is it just me, or did everyone’s profile pictures completely disappear?

@rainmaker

Welcome! I’m Janessa, aka Trailblazer, and I write mostly contemporary/historical fiction, but I’ve also done a little in the realm of mystery, and I’ve explored journalism as well. Like you, I’m not much into sports, but I love hiking (and I will use any excuse to get to the mountains lol). I was homeschooled most of my life, but…[Read more]

@grcr Okay, wellllll… I have this, but it’s a little lame and short…

Adeline

“How do you do?” Adeline greeted a young woman with glistening black hair. “I’m Adeline Thurman.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Isabelle Jefferson,” the young woman replied. “Have you known the Baumanns before?”

“Father had some acquaintance with Mr. Baumann, but I’ve…[Read more]

@grcr go right ahead

Kari

“Are you okay, Amir?” Kari asked, looking at the shattered armor and the boy sprawled in the midst of it. She wanted to laugh, but poor Amir looked so embarrassed that she bit her tongue.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” he muttered, picking himself up. “I hope that…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @grcr

Yeah we need to get some talking happening lol. I’m just not having any inspiration on how to start conversations.

@everyone I put all the characters in age order if this helps anyone trying to visualize them.

Felix Baumann- 31 (but he’s married)

Kate Harrison- 29

Hans Baumann-28

James Harrison- 25 (but he’s taken)

Hudson Thurman- 22

Isabella and Blair Jefferson-21

Anna Harrison- 20

Adeline Thurman-19

Will McKinley- 17

Bennett Thurman and Christine…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 I know you also said Tina doesn’t really have time for boys but that might just add to the story, if Bennett finds her spunkiness interesting and they start off just as friends because Tina doesn’t want to think about a relationship, and then later on realizes she likes him. Maybe Bennett gets to know Will first, but takes…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 I think Bennett and Christine would fit together really well! Unfortunately, he’s not at this part due to a mishap earlier in the day (mentioned in my earlier RP) but he’ll be coming around in the future. They’re both still young though, so any romance between them would have to stay pretty light and not get too serious until…[Read more]

@everyone

Liliana

Liliana sidled up next to Adeline as they entered the house. Attending parties was fun for about an hour, until the novelty wore off. But this time, she didn’t know anyone else in attendance, and most of the other guests appeared to be older than twenty. Even Bennett wasn’t along this time, since he’d been soaking wet when…[Read more]

@grcr

Oops, haha, I’m getting people mixed up already lol. I just created a list of all the characters so I can remember who is who.

@smiley

Well, neither Hans or Anna and Kate are my characters, so you can decide which one fits better.

@smiley @freedomwriter76 @grcr @savannah_grace2009 @whalekeeper @mineralizedwritings @acancello @esther-c

Just an idea… but I think Hans and Anna would be cute together… I know @grcr suggested Anderson Thurman could try to arrange a marriage between Adeline and Hans, but maybe we could use that to our advantage. Neither Hans or Adeline want…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 @hybridlore

Here is a little more….

A few weeks later, I was perched on a hard wooden pew listening to one of Reverend Bradshaw’s sermons on the mercy of God. Clara was seated next to me, her fingers playing with the handkerchief in her lap.

“Rise for the closing hymn,” Reverend Bradshaw directed. We rose, and as throa…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 @grcr

Introducing the Thurmans… Whenever your conversation’s at a good breaking point, they can show up at the party! (Also, James is just an extra character that popped up lol)

Bennett

The ticking of the grandfather clock was the only thing that broke the stiff silence in the sitting room of the Thurman estate. The air was…[Read more]

@grcr @freedomwriter76

I literally created a whole new family just for this lol. I’m still nailing down the descriptions but so far this is where I’m at….

Meet the Thurman family:

Anderson, age 52, is a successful and wealthy judge. He has become absorbed in his reputation and that of the Thurman family, and as a result has become emotionally…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 Oh girl, that sounds like me! The braids all the way… and I had a bonnet, but unfortunately no dress. I used to create forts with bedsheets and pretend I was in a covered wagon lol.
