suspecting the owner of the labyrinth might be in the house.
Not that your characters would know this, but, just clarifying, the labyrinth doesn’t have an owner. It’s sort of sentient on its own, kinda, and more like a force of nature than anything else.

Okay, glad you’re alright.
Also, I like the poem
The Protector — Gabriel Mai
As Lucy read the poem, the voices grew louder, hissing their jargon in his mind. He wanted to shout at them to stop, but kept his voice silent, not wishing to disturb Lucy.
“That’s alright, thank you. You read much better than I.” Gabriel tried to keep h…[Read more]

Happy Feast of Saint Nicholas!
To the tune of Up on the Housetop: Up at Nicea, the bishops pause, Arius and Santa Claus. One claims a time when the Son was not, one says that’s a heretical thought! Ho, ho, ho, who’s gonna go, ho, ho, ho, who’s gonna go. Off with a right hook, good Saint Nick, down goes the dirty heretic!

We have one that’s more like a jelly salad, and one that’s a barbeque sauce. We usually eat the second one on meatballs for Christmas, but sometimes, (like this year), we have it for Thanksgiving as well.

“Quit talking,” Rory hissed. He reached the door, turned the handle with his free hand, and slipped through, closing the door behind him. “It’s not humiliating. It’s how wounded soldiers are carried.”

I can’t believe someone broke into my garage and stole my limbo stick. Seriously, how low can you go?

Gabriel Mai
“Yes, I see…” Gabriel walked to a set of drawers in a corner, picking up a book from on top. He opened the pages, a pressed, dried flower falling out, rocking to the floor. Gabriel bent and picked it up, then showed it to Lucy. Purple petals, and a white and yellow center. He put it back in the book, then tried to read…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle This is random, but I just had someone call Baron a babygirl.
Which apparently in this context “refers to a man who is both attractive and charmingly sensitive (or brooding/self-possessed/quirky) as opposed to stereotypically macho.” (Merriam Webster)
I just thought it was kinda funny, lol.-
Okay…… 🤣
That’s kind of funny, actually. Though I’d prob. not like it if my character was called that. Not very flattering name. 😂Btw, how is all that going? Did you find someone to publish it?
-
I was very confuzzled when they said that. I personally won’t be adding it to my vocabulary but I found it interesting.
I still plan to go with Wild Horse Publishing, if you’ll still have me, however the current thing holding me back is money. I do not have enough saved, and I don’t have a job yet due to health issues.
As soon as I get a job…[Read more]-
Oh yes of course we will! Okay yeah, did I give you a price quote yet? Take your time. However long you need is fine.
-
No, you haven’t given me a price quote, but from what I’ve seen online, it can take up to $2000 to $4000 to publish. I was planning on saving $2000 but I only have $700 right now. Maybe a little more after winter because I do get snow money and I have a few relatives who always send Christmas money because they live too far away to see us, but at…[Read more]
-
Well, I can tell you right off the bat that it will not be that much to work with us. If you give me a page number then I can give you an estimated quote on what you need to have in hand before we can start.

@ellette-giselle
The reply button had to go to bed apparently.
My doc is currently sitting at 97 pages. I do plan to go through and edit though, since I’ve found some week spots, and also need to clean things up, but it’d be around 100 pages.
I’m sorry if that’s too vague for you, that’s the best I can give until I go through again (I stepped back…[Read more]-
lol
yeah no worries. I have to do something really fast, but I’ll get back to you on that in a minute. -
So, running that as a mockup, here are the estimated prices to print each book.
Paperback, black and white illustrations—
$3.66 per book (not counting shipping, handling, and tax)Hardcover with dust jacket, black and white illustrations—
$10.14 per book (not counting shipping, handling, and tax)Hardcover with printed case no dust jacket,…[Read more]
-
Woah, that was not the numbers I was expecting.
So, I have the money I guess (the sad thing is it looks like I’ve had enough for months and didn’t know it).
Thank you so much!
About illustrations, I’ll probably do those myself to save on money and capture my vision.
For an editor, I know that I need one of those lol so I’ll get into that.-
I would have been sad if you didn’t want to do the illustrations! It just wouldn’t have been the same! ☺️
well, i think the time of stepping back will actually help you refine it, so maybe it’s a good thing! We have a few editors working for us, or if you know of someone else, feel free to chose them as well. Here are our editors, but don’t feel…[Read more]

loll this is so funny to me, I’m active in a lot of online fandoms so I hear this term all the time 😂 it’s usually used for well loved characters or people so please consider it highest compliments
-
LOL.
-
-
Bro what—
Oh I would hate it if someone called my characters that lol(Given that most of my charries are from fanfics, there’s a very high chance someone already has.)
-
Lol. I don’t like the term itself, but I find it flattering that someone used a term that meant that about my character because it shows affection.
-
-
That seems like a pretty broad category to be fair, lol, unless the character has to be obviously sweet/sensitive/vulnerable in order to qualify. But that’s still funny.
-
Oh no…
I just realized Hugo is textbook “babygirl”
I am ruined-
Lol, he is totally.
-
If his girlfriend called him babygirl, he’d probably just shrug it off. That’s how textbook perfect he is for this term. I’m not sure whether to be fine or not fine with this.

Dante
“Ow. This is humiliating,” Dante grumbled. “Walk faster.”
A nurse rounded the corner behind them, then froze when he saw them. Dante waved nervously.
“Go fasterrr,” he whispered to Rory.
“Hey!” The nurse finally found his voice. “What are you doing?”
Rory sped up, and they turned a corner into a new hallway. There was…[Read more]

Rory
“Right.” He grabbed Dante’s arm and hauled it over his upper shoulder. He then hooked his arm around Dante’s leg and hiked the boy up onto his shoulders. Keeping his arm still hooked around Dante’s leg, he reached around and grabbed the boy’s wrist, freeing his other hand. He moved to pick up his gun, realized this wasn’t…[Read more]

Dante
Dante stared at him. “…I would rather get stabbed again.”
Rory shrugged.
But the thought of just waiting there helplessly in the hospital bed started to bother Dante. Where was Ace now? Was he close? What if the hospital had notified the police and they were coming too? The sound of footsteps in the hallway sud…[Read more]

He raised an eyebrow. “I could carry you. I’ve done it before. To wounded soldiers….”

Felicity
“Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but I think I saw the imp transform into a rabbit. Maybe. There was a lot going on. But maybe that means he behaves like a rabbit too. We could trap him.”

Dante
Rory was right, of course. Again. Dante huffed and settled back into the bed. He was feeling antsy, and was fighting the drowsiness that had been sneaking up on him all this time. He glared at the far wall.
“Maybe Alpha was right,” he muttered to himself.
