I’d love feedback on the blurb. I want it to catch your attention, but not give too much away. Here you go.

WOW. Yes, it has totally caught my attention, and I’m hooked! It sounds very interesting. I think you wrote it quite well. It’s not too long and doesn’t give much away, but it offers the readers a huge tasty donut to hook o…[Read more]

Have you ever heard of the six word story? I don’t remember who wrote it, but one of his friends challenged him to write the shortest story ever. He replied with “Baby shoes for sale. Never worn.”

That seriously sounds like a heap of fun! It’s actually a good exercise to try writing very concisely. I think I’ll try this out.…[Read more]

A girl in red plaid sits in the college library. Dreadful words – Assignment Due Tomorrow and Proyecto de Clase de Español? -waltz across the screen before her weary eyes. Those words have no business in libraries. Her sanctuary is become her prison. She sighs and clicks on her phone.

I guess I was sort of confused by Joseph’s fears about talking to Ezra, then. He seems to have multiple flashbacks to the soldiers, which is a good way to show how the events have affected him. I was probably confused (I’m assuming now that this scene is replacing the one before where he talks to three young men) about why he was…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle Your new blurb sounds so cool! 😍

I don’t eat bananas either, but when I do they have to be a little after the bright all yellow… like beginning to soften (and barely turn brown, not too brown at all).

@ellette-giselle

I like it a lot! The only things I noticed were that you included the long excerpt from the Bible again… most readers already know the Christmas story so I don’t think you need it in there. Then, also, when Amelia was talking about Mary, some of the tenses seemed wrong. Like, maybe it should be in past tense? Idk. And last thi…[Read more]

Netflix was going to make a movie or television series more recently, but there hasn’t been any news in a couple years.

Yes, I heard about that, but then nothing more came out!

We watched a little bit of that cartoon recently, lol. Redwall was such a phase for me when I was 10-12; I read almost all the books, and I thinky favorite w…

@ellette-giselle

WOW! You drew the TCMW cover?? That’s amazing! Okay…I’ll respond to the large post you sent in reply to me…but right now I have to go take care of Buddy and start my working day! See you later!

@ellette-giselle

You watch Tintin????!!!! And Liberty’s Kids??

So, the the Crimson Rose about Nazi resistance?

@ellette-giselle

what do you think of the story section? as interesting as Friedrich?

Yes, it is,very interesting! So, is this from your other book? Fateful Night? Reading this reminded me of a story my brother wrote. He wrote about a German boy who hides a Jewish girl.

Wait……. redwall got made into a movie!?

Not a movie, but an episode ser…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

We had been working since sunup and it was close to twelve. Everyone had been in tears once that day, all the packing tape was gone, and dad was like, “Okay, I’m ordering pizza and we’re going to watch the first stupid cartoon I find that is okay toi watch.” (you gotta read up on plugged in about cartoons now days.”

So yeah, we…

@ellette-giselle

Oh, you won’t be getting any more of Friedrich. That book has been published, and I wrote that scene because I was thinking of Friedrich. If you want to read more you have to buy it.

Oh! He is a character from TCWM?

You might get a little of other things though.

Excited. Clearly. Excited.

Um. Yes I would. That’s what I’m doing…

@loopylin

Okay…I’ve been hit…fair and square.

Buddy stood before the mirror, rearranging his blue bow for the hundredth time. He nervously fumbled with the silk around his neck, nearly knocking off the cup that dangerously sat at the desk’s edge. The captain suddenly stopped and stared at his reflection.

“Calm down, Buddy.” He smoth…

@ellette-giselle

We need a “pin post” option.

@jonas

That definitely makes sense. When there’s one big group, it’s kind of hard to RP. I’m up for it.

@ellette-giselle Haha I use my phone a good amount of the time. 🤪 It does take some getting used to.

Lolol, that should be the official video of the forum. 😆

@ellette-giselle

Is it bad that this scene came to mind and I smiled with evil glee?

Evil glee?😄 YES…it is bad… (I’ve heard of this film and now after watching this clip…*cringe* I don’t think I ever want to see it!)

Seriously, though…you wouldn’t do that…right? (I mean, running into stranger’s homes?)

I am definitely smacking you with…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

lol. Everyone asks for word count, and I never know. I measure books by pages when I read, so I naturally do the same for writing. Let me get back to you on that tomorrow when I can look it up on my laptop.

Yes! I am patiently waiting for the word count. By the way, what software did you use to write your book? Google Docs? That’s…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I think Ellette meant to tag you for her answer ☝️

Thank you!
