Hey, all! I finally finished editing the flashback chapters into my book. (They are now chapters 2 and 4, with transition paragraphs in the preceding chapters that I am quite proud of.) If you guys have the time to look it over and give me your thoughts, that would be much appreciated! If you…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill Hm… That’s gonna be Phantom Menace. I think that’s the only one with young Anakin. Awesome!

*nods* You’re welcome! And I can help convince people if need be 😛

@elisha-starquill Yes, I’ve seen most of the US through road trips and frequent movings 😂 I really loved visiting Vermont—definitely the prettiest state in New England. California is always a favorite of mine too, politics and traffic aside.

Sweet, another Peretti fan! I feel like I always get blank stares when I mention his books, so it’s aweso…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill *grins* Nah, I’m not offended 😛

Ah… Which one was it? And yeah, I know what you mean about it being weird lol. And like… to me? I like sci-fi. So I’m not as weirded out about things as some people are. *shrugs* But the ones I’ve seen are really good. So I would suggest that you give it a shot lol. But maybe have somebody…[Read more]

@deeprun I’m so glad you took this on! Your ideas are awesome, and I’m really excited to start the experiment. I sent you an email so you’ll have my address 😀

@morreafirebird Google hangouts is a brilliant suggestion for chatting with each other! I also have some stuff that’s ready for critique, but would be very happy to start with whomever :D…[Read more]

@deeprun @caseybold @elisha-starquill

Sweet! I don’t mind dropping my email here, since I have half a dozen and I’m fairly certain a lot of people know this one anyway 😛 It’s kmsmall46[at]gmail[dot]com.

Well, I have a piece of flash fiction that I’m hoping to have ready for other eyes by Sunday. If there aren’t any other takers, I’d volunteer t…[Read more]

@deeprun

All that sounds good to me 😉 I was also picking up on similar threads in the posts of all four of us, so I’m glad I wasn’t the only one!

The one thought I would add is that it might be best to have this in a Hangouts group (if everyone is alright using Google Hangouts.) The Story Embers forum is public, and while there’s nothing wrong…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill

Ah, nice. *nods*

Pretty ok, I suppose. Nothing terribly exciting going on. Although I did watch The Rise of Skywalker and The Mandalorain the other week and I LOVE THEM OMWWW (hence the new profile pic)

That makes five SW movies I’ve seen. Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Rogue One, and The Rise of…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill I was going to say thanks for the welcome, but then I noticed you were a Chocolate Hater and now I’m wondering whether you’re even human … jk 😂

That’s cool that you’re into art as well! What kind of things have you been drawing? To answer your question, I’m currently fascinated with concept art—especially in film—and my s…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your responses @deeprun @elisha-starquill @morreafirebird!

@deeprun Exactly! I agree about shared experience and friendship being integral to a great writing group dynamic. I’m not sure that kind of thing can be achieved virtually, but I’d be very willing to give it a try. Your experiment sounds interesting, and if you put…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill Ah… *nods* Plotted to the maximum… Like I do not have XD

But yes, that all makes sense! Thanks!

How’s your week been?

@evelyn *grins* I don’t start back to school for a couple more weeks. 😛

And yeeeah… 😀

@elisha-starquill *nods* That’s kinda what I do. I know basically a few key things that I want to have happen and I kinda know what happens at the end… But other than that it’s all flying by the seat of my pants 😛

Hehhehe yep. 😀 And it may not have to…[Read more]

@evelyn @elisha-starquill @steward-of-the-pen @j-a-penrose

Hey guys!! Mama is doing great, she got her drainage tubes and staples removed, and we’re back home! She’s scheduled to go back for a checkup in six months. So unless you hear from me otherwise, just assume she’s doing fine! Thank you (and everybody else) for all the prayers and…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart @elisha-starquill @anne_the_noob14 @christlover

Happy New Year everyone! I’m back with another entry.

Runawin shivered as Lucas’s footsteps faded behind her. She waited a moment, hoping he might come back, but only silence met her ears. Sighing, she trotted towards the hallway she’d smelled. A hole appeared in the…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen @evelyn @elisha-starquill @j-a-penrose

Mama’s doing very well! She got released from the hospital today, and she and Daddy have a hotel room through the 31st. She’s on oral pain meds now, and having to adjust to those, but she’s doing well with them. My brother and I got to go see her last week, and she had just got her ng…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart Cool! I’m homeschooled and don’t really have tests or anything, but I did take some when I was working through chemistry last year and early this year. I hope you do/did well!

*hugs Caedon* Omw I love how brave he is 😀 I love his whole character!! And I’d love to read the story he’s from if you’d want me to…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 Yes, high school midterms. *thumbs up*

@elisha-starquill Are you able to write Racleva’s response to Caedon’s last question?

@christlover Oh wow. I like Theseus’ reactions to everything Caedon and Vladlena were saying. xD Especially the part about the space alien. Just a side note, the characters can’t actually leave the castle.…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill The Mandalorian is a show based in the Star Wars universe. So far it’s only available on Disney+, which I don’t have. I’ve only seen a few episodes at a friend’s house, but I like what I’ve seen so far. 😛

I loved your story, by the way! The settings and the characters really intrigued me. Two things, though. I kinda wish you’d…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill @ariella-newheart I echo what the others have said! Great job, guys!

Hopefully I will share one soon. I’m not sure exactly what I’ll do with the prompt yet, but I have a couple ideas. 😉
