whaley the great and terrible

@whalekeeper

I might be able to join you halfway through. Hopefully. That would be fun.

I think I’ll get a head start on my 2,000 words now… (12):14.

@whalekeeper Oh fun. Not for the characters, though, I guess. Is this a project I’ve heard about before?

I’ve been wanting to write a scene where Felicity gets into a fist fight with a clown, but there’s some things I also need to draw instead. I’m so behind on inktober.

@whalekeeper Not writing anything rn, but I’m here to cheer you on :]

@loopylin

Ok, thank you so much!

I guess my main question right now is how did your dad feel being in a completely different culture? What was the culture shock like and how did he view this new place as an American?

@whalekeeper

Is there a reason why you want to set the story in Africa? Maybe you just want a fresh but still realistic setting,…

Yay! Looking forward to it. Hope the fancy meeting trip goes well. 😎

Welp it’s been a while 😅🫶🏻

I have been *DEEP* in the trenches of life, school, and writing, and tbh I needed a bit of a break from here. I still don’t plan on being here a…[Read more]

@loopylin Those are very interesting statistics. I almost wish we could publish some of this material… @whalekeeper

I’ll go ahead and restart this since I’m postponing doing what I’m supposed to work on…

don’t remember if the class is over. I’ll just end it if that’s ok with y’all. XD

Again, please tag anyone you know who would want to see this. I’m just tagging the people who have been interested already.

All right!

I don’t know if some of you have seen this already or not, but I am now making the prototype for…[Read more]

@whalekeeper Cursed ideas are fun. I like it.

“The ears and helminths have blessed this place,” he breathed.

@whalekeeper

Out of curiosity, I copy-pasted all the scenes into a document and checked the word count. It was over 40,000 words. That doesn’t count stuff I didn’t find or didn’t believe was worthy enough.

And I am currently struggling to finish drafting a 6,000 words short story. This is embarrassing. What am I doing?? Does anyone else have…

@whalekeeper

Yes! Their adoptive parents live on the family’s ancestral farm. They have goats, chickens, and one donkey, and about 4 acres of field land. Two of the chickens like to hide their eggs in hard to reach places.. 😏 Alyona calls them the Sister Plagues.

@whalekeeper

I will! <3 (The first one came out today, and since I have your royal email, I could go ahead and send it to you, if you’d like.)

*cackles of glee* Exactly.

Yes, it is. I’m glad he feels like historical fiction (in a good way)! It’s set in an ancient/early iron age world, so the cultures etc. are incredibly historically inspired.…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Yay! That’s wonderful!

I got 1,181 words into HoA, so… good! I got to make my characters hunt eggs through a straw barn, so that was fun. Been wanting to do it for a while. XD

I’m going to break for dinner and hop back on around 7ish.

@whalekeeper

Am making a list of possible titles…

@loopylin

@whalekeeper

I have no idea what makes them the way they are. They’re just dangerous. XD It’s a rewrite of the original A Little Mermaid mixed with what I vaguely understand of the Disney version with a splash of something else entirely. She’s an assassin chosen because she’s the most “pitiful” looking siren the king’s men could find. The reason…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

First off, congratulations on the side project! It may not be serious, but that much accomplished is exciting.

Secondly…

YES.

Ugh. Somethings are just easier to write. I joined CWM with Heirs of Ashes book 1 as my WIP. I’ve gotten a few thousand words done, but it’s so hard to write for some reason.

Meanwhile, I had to set…[Read more]
