whaley the great and terrible

@everyone

Since Ellette clears 500 words every time she breathes, I’m going to do one plank for every 5000 words she writes.

🤣

I am pausing this topic. I have roughly 100 planks to complete.

@ellette-giselle

Okay okay okay okay okay, hold your horses Miss Giselle. *ahem*

I don’t know if you know this, but that would be a 300 page manuscript. Even if you were a confident writer who doesn’t pause to think, you would still have to write alllll day and you would probably have to be a professional typist in order to not get carpal tunnel…[Read more]

I’m not sure how the belt tradition started, guys. I bet it started with clothing differences to tell who was a master or not, and they streamlined over time to something more practical.
@ellette-giselle
I need time, I’m sorry for not getting him done yet 😢

@grcr

Oh you asked so many of the same questions! XDXD

@raxforge

I do!! Oh, you are sarcastic? XD

This looks like a good start, I love pyro stories!

It helps to think of the key problems in the story. They are the “why” of the conflict, the reasons for the plot to exist. Characters can disagree and want different things. Sometimes a story introduces a question, and each character has a different…[Read more]

@raxforge

😂 I’ll add those in.

I recently got the first stripe on my white belt.

@the_lost-journal

People have added teachers! Many of them are meant to be used by anyone, but there are a few (? at least one) that belong to certain writers. I’ve thought about doing the same thing.

Marcel

“So… They went for me, because they want him, because they want his brother, because they want you. What’s your name?”

“Rory.”

Marcel thought on this for a second. He took Rory’s hand and swung it up and down, an exhausted shake. “Nice to meet you.”

@ellette-giselle @koshka

Yep

Marcel

“Sure I do.”

“What happened?”

“A bunch of guys started stalking the kid. Didn’t like that.” Marcel paused to hiss through his teeth, and lightly relaxed his wings. “I would have stuck with normal street fighting, but they kept coming so I had to improvise.”

@koshka @ellette-giselle

I did not intend for my character to get this hurt. 😂 I anticipate he will be very chill about the whole thing and probably skip hospital. Even if that’s a poor decision.

Marcel

Voices rose and moved. Marcel opened his eyes; the fuzzy light of an electric bulb hung over the couch he lay on. He didn’t have the best…[Read more]

@rae

If you feel like you’re not learning, you might be drawing too much of the same thing and burning your energy out looking at it. I do that aaaallllll the time. Maybe you’re drawing character faces too often, and now you are sick of the style. Or you’ve practiced something to the point where you can’t tell what looks good anymore.

Draw new…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Don’t look at me, Marcel is unconscious. (I’m waiting for Koshka :P)

@rae

You are not a bad artist, and you have drawn things very well in the past. Your wolf drawing (by Chase) was very good. Plus you used charcoal, I think, which I am too scared to use. Give yourself grace. 🤗

Alpha is murderous sometimes. And it tears him to pieces inside.

He needs therapy, lots of therapy. Maybe a therapy dog. Something super fluffy, like a labradoodle.

Basically, a reckless disregard for life.

@rae

Yeah I totally get what you mean.
I’m looking at the first interaction, just by itself, for Alpha’s behavior. He hears a suspicious conversation. Doesn’t even see what’s fully happening, and stabs a guy in the shoulder. A stab like that still disregards a life.
What if 231 died from it anyway, because he had a physical quirk like Alpha does?…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Pff, that’s tooooooootally not me. *Floofs away*

Okay, maybe I feel called out. 🤣 That’s very accurate. I feel a little sorry for any new KPers, but not too much. After all, the drama is half the fun.

@loopylin

Yeah, I don’t really know what happened, it’s all a haze.

@ellette-giselle

and it wasn’t murder, it was a fight. And someone died in the fight. That is not murder.

Debatable 🧐 Alpha dealt a death stab before there was any indication that 231 intended physical harm… a little murderous, if you ask me. It was only after Alpha w…[Read more]

Koshka has to reply to that, I think. Leo was in the elevator, right?

This is kinda crazy guys… I went for a nice, peaceful walk in an arboretum for an hour, and this is what I come home to. 😅

Marcel

“Terrorists? What the heck?”

A fireball whizzed through the air and smacked into his wingtip. The edges singed, and Marcel had to clench his teeth to keep from yelping in p…[Read more]
