Ophelia

“So, Ophelia, what do you think this dance should be? I think…I’d like it to be a dance of birds. Imitating them, ya know?” Jade said, gesturing with her arms as though they were wings.

I continued with my improvised barre warm-ups but nodded.

I forced my smile back.

“That sounds nice! The ballet we’re w…[Read more]

I saw on your newsletter that you wrote Aydin’s last POV chapter, and I KNOW that feeling. So sad, so satisfying, yet so…sad! Congrats on getting this far, and I’m so happy for you and Aydin–I am personally grateful that you gave him a happy ending.

Thank you! It’s delightful but I find myself so sad to leave them 😭 OF COURSE…[Read more]

@jared-williams

This seems like an incredible and wonderful dynamic! Lots of great character development potential there! Just reading that small bit, I want to know what happens next between Malcolm and Ophelia! Hey, feel free to bring Malcolm into the castle too! That would be awesome if he came in and joined the performance! Perhaps replace…

XDDDD what a great turn of phrase. lol

@jared-williams   Making Isaias dance is a great idea! 😂

What the stupid flopping fish was that?! Jade closed her eyes and reminded herself that these people could be from anywhere. Who knew what was normal in their worlds?

”Let’s go through the five basic foot positions,” said Jade. “Watch. First position, plié. Second, plié. Third, plié…[Read more]

Thank you, Jess! (@toljamedia)

That is very encouraging.  I am becoming increasingly alarmed by the serious attention given to the “transhumanism” movement that is taking over our youth cultures who are abandoning faith and moral and foundational traditions that have stabilized communities. These “self-defined progressives” are instead becoming…[Read more]

😂 that worm thing was so funny, and it would totally freak Jade out because she’s only been around normal humans.

“After me punks! Never bet against a ranger when death is on the line!” He whooped and dove into the mirror with- Accept your greed and selfishness.

Nithel’s chest tightened, but he jumped up, (snatching the cloth if blind man left it), and dove through after him.

All had to enter now, and the walls were literally closing in. No time to thi…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

omigosh your emo description was hilarious😂 and accurate!

Lorcan: *shoots me filthy looks from the corner*

@jared-williams

It is perfect for Lorcan, thanks for giving him some purpose here!😅😄

Abirami’s turn… (cheesy grin with slanted eyes)

Abirami

The door, if you could call it that anymore, was all but shredded as I pushed it open and entered the room that had previously been infested with Ku’s hive.

I marveled at the destruction that mere bugs could do. Just a few months ago, Ku’s hive had successfully committed what amounted to…[Read more]

….. and yes. That IS Abirami standing next to her… just as a size reference here. lol.

(Ami is Ku’Aya’s nickname for Abirami)

Ku’Aya

“Whoa! Cool green skin!” the boy called out!

My ears tingled. So… cute!

He had a baby face with blazing blond hair. His bangs stuck out half-hazardly about, and I had to wonder how he got his hair to stay that way… like an organized mess that actually looked really good.

My hair was the wor…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf oh that makes a lot more sense now!  I think Kit is going to be rather impressed by Avin’s outfit XD

Also, that’s some very interesting background on the Colondites!  It makes me sad for Avin though.  Poor guy’s been through so much 🙁

Kit:

“I’m from Vegada.  You haven’t heard of it.”  I shake my head.  Nope.

“And your name is…?”…[Read more]

and he’s usually not so serious, but at the time, he is training to try to help Abirami break a war general (and old friend of his dad’s) from the castle dungeons. And Setti is using his dad’s weapon of choice…

Oh, and this is Setti… in case I ever bring him into the castle…. (bad rendition of him, but best I could come up with from the website I use… the ears and hair are all wrong… but it gives the gist of it.)

Warning… some of this is me rambling, so skim over if you want… =)

This is SO AWESOME! lol. Funny how it’s possible to geek out over a character castle. hehe.

Anika & Natalya

Darkness fell suddenly, as if the sunlight had been cut off by a storm. Anika gasped and stopped in her tracks. Natalya came up beside her, her heavy breathing sounding in Anika’s ear. “What happened?”

“How should I know?” Anika started forward again, groping ahead of her in the gloom.

“We’ll get a tanning if we’re…[Read more]

If it gets to be too crowded in here, I’ll pull Avin.

I am implementing a new rule in the character castle!

“If in doubt about what direction the team wants to take, do what your character would do.”

So, when writing Burn, I will do as Burn does!

(Congratulations! I have unlocked level JERK.)

“Ya’know what. I’m just gonna go with the one nearest me. Once I fix my foot.”
