Just popping in because I’m bored, lol!

I kinda agree with Whaley. The story just doesn’t seem like it’s going towards a specific goal…like the events seem a bit random and idk how to describe it but it’s like your story’s missing something but it frustrates me because I don’t know what exactly I’m missing, just that something…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Because the orphanage plot was out of left field XD

Oh, well what did you expect to happen?

Don’t worry. The orphanage plays a key part in all three books.

@whalekeeper

I’ve already written the whole book. This is my fifth draft actually, and I was looking for reader reaction as well as some thoughts from y’all on structure and character since you are authors. Once I post everything on here, I’m passing this off to my editor.

why do you ask?

@whalekeeper

yes.

New scene!

Asher and Eric were only the first of many war orphans who found shelter in the orphanage. On the second day of the two brother’s arrival, a girl came by saying her mother had felt led to give them some children’s clothing and she hoped Sabina could find someone who needed them. Aft…

new section!!!

The days passed, and the people of Ardenta waited in eager anticipation for the Sabbath. They longed to see each other, to hear from Aaron, and to be united in worship once again. At last, the week’s end came.

Early in the morning, before the sun or soldiers were up, the people w…

Ok, all y’all who have stuck with me through all of this, I have a question.

Is anyone willing to help me write a blurb? I keep trying and nothing sounds right? Anyone have ideas or examples?

Also, I’ll try to get another section tomorrow. I’m a little distracted with the publishing process of…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Your utter regard for my antiphilbibliophilation and philbibliophobia is indeed. . . touching. . . Or at least, I’m definitely touched in the head! (But you likely already knew that. 😜)

My sagely sageful advise and device:

• Turn it into a badly done fractured fairytale of Romeo and Juliet by killing off the bad guy and the good…

I’ve made it a point in the past year or so to make eye contact when I’m listening to someone, but sometimes I start thinking of ways I’d describe their eyes in a book and stop paying attention to what they’re actually saying. 🫣😂

@keilah-h That’s a perfect name! I named mine Cyrus.

@whalekeeper

I’ve always struggled with drawing a cartoon version of myself but now I have to XD

I would love to see that if you do end up drawing it :]

@mineralizedwritings

Aw, thanks so much!

And you’re so good at drawing toes. They are the bane of my existence.

XD Probably because I’ve bee…[Read more]

@whalekeeper I watched legend of hei and I really loved it. I love the whole parent child dynamic it was so cute. I think they should make it into a series. Also the fluid animation made me happy. It reminded me of the first season of Wakfu a lot.

@whalekeeper

We’re talking about a different movie XD

But I do hope to watch your rec too

@whalekeeper

yeahhh it can be really hard sometimes :/

@whalekeeper

While I am more emotional objectively than Linus, being a girl teen and all, I do not like sharing my feelings or even physically expressing them through tears. I am an extremely private person and I do not like to look for sympathy from anybody; it makes me feel guilty. I tend to cry in private.

One side of me would like to be c…

One afternoon, Aaron was sitting on the edge of his bed, studying his Bible, when Noah stepped into the room, a Bible in his own hands. “Aaron, can I talk to you?”

“Yeah sure,” said Aaron, motioning to the bed.

Noah sat down. “Aaron, I was reading through the Bible, cover to cover as you sugge…

At last, the curfew was slowly lifted and the citizens were allowed to return to a more normal life. Never were they allowed to leave the city. The Imperial soldiers began causing problems, turning families out of their homes to accommodate the Officers. All of the large building taken to quarter…

@whalekeeper

I think Min means (and she can correct me), as long as you are writing well from a moral standpoint, sharing with your family is really up to you. You don’t have to if you don’t feel like it. ‘Character crimes’ such as an overly emotional guy are up to your personal preferences and can work for a story’s tone.

I mean yeah that too…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Wow, it sounds like you’ve got an awesome family!

Sorry if I was projecting a bit. Despite my family being Christian, they can be really critical. Kinda like what Whaley mentioned above, over preferences for the most part. People who have it like me have to band together and support each other, so whenever I see somebody saying…[Read more]
