Heeeey! I think we’ve got plenty of room so you can jump right in! Would you like a quick brief on the current characters and what’s going on?

Awww thanks so much!!! I’ve got two characters who need some serious development. I’d looove a brief on characters and plot I’m sooo lost!!!!

Oh my gosh that’s really sad…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf

It was great!!! We spent three days at the Creation Museum and three days at the Ark, and it was super cool! I think my favorite was the Creation Museum. The shows they put on in the theatres there were super cool and it was awesome and words do not suffice. The Ark was so real and it hit me pretty hard. It was h0nestly really…[Read more]

I must have a sadistic streak to me, because I was smiling the whole way through reading that.   I especially liked the ten seasons part.

Of course you do! You’re a writer, we all do XD

Have you lived in the Netherlands your whole life?

Something like that. We moved here when I was about two, so yeah, the majority. My entire family i…[Read more]

but it gets the “we’re survivors” feeling going very strong! (Which is so FUN, b/c you can brag about it to others.)  The coldest I remember is -40 C/F. I think there was a windchill. When you have even a breath of wind at that temperature, it feels like sandpaper on your cheeks. It’s too cold even to snow at that temperature.

Yep yep!…[Read more]

I’ve been changing profile settings and gotta see if this works

@anne-the-noob14  I didn’t get diagnosed until after I was a minor, so I feel you.
As for what I use aside from tea and coffee, caffeinated soda usually works.  I’d caution you though because it can cause a sugar high that’ll counteract any benefit from the caffeine.

My particular symptoms are easily distracted, inattentive, quickly forgetting t…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf

Ooooh, if you don’t want to talk about weather, you’re barking up the wrong tree, lol. I love the topic of weather.   And your winters are damp, as well as being cold! (Damp is the worst in wintertime. Thankfully we don’t have too much of it here.) It gets down to -28.89 C/-20 F where I live, usually at least once a winter.…

@skylarynn Hey! Heard ADHD and self-medicating being talked about! I am 95% certain I have ADHD, and I can’t get diagnosed (that I’ve found out, at least) without parental consent (which I’m not sure I can get – long story), since I’m a minor. So I’m trying to figure out how to self-medicate. I’ve tried coffee and tea but they don’t work all that…[Read more]

@skylarynn,

I’ve been self-medicating with coffee or tea when I need to wind down.

Cool! Self-medications work a lot better than others, in my not very broad experience. 😛

You just haven’t put enough sugar and cream in it yet.

So they say. But my best friend forced me to try coffee she had made for me that was literally 80% creamer (like it was…[Read more]

That’s so awful about mono, poor thing!

Yeah, it was pretty bad; I had to relearn how to swallow like a normal person afterwards (that was an experience).

Wait you mean an actual official diagnosis?!

Yes, I have severe attention-deficit type ADHD.  So severe my inattentive symptoms are almost off the scale.  It went com…[Read more]

@skylarynn,

and getting an ADHD diagnosis.

Ooh, on that note, did you know that coffee calms people with ADHD down? Apparently the caffeine in there works oppositely when you have ADHD! *would almost drink coffee just to experience that, but coffee is too utterly disgusting to actually do that*

@denali-christianson,

EEEYYYYYYYYYY welcome!! Sure,…[Read more]

@skylarynn
HIIIIII YOU’RE BACK!!!!!!!! *bowls over with a hug*
That’s so awful about mono, poor thing! Wait you mean an actual official diagnosis?! *haha…totally not ADHD here XDDD* Does that mean you’re being medicated or going through therapy now? They used to use benedrylline to treat ADHD and it’s a highly addictive “upper” drug that kinda ov…[Read more]

After making the deal with Joel, Max quickly left the ally.  You idiot! why did you do that?  He thought to himself, not paying attention to where he was going.

“If you plan to stay here, I would tell this place would be that,”   A female said as she pushed past two more figures.  Turning slightly back to them she said, “Name’s Sloane, mayha…[Read more]

*squeals*

Yay!!!! Gimme a week and I’ll be back with some chaptersssss!

@denali-christianson

Welcome! *grins*

@skylarynn

Yeah, apologies for the length. . . I was going through a phase where I thought my chapters were too short and needed to be longer XD

Too few pronouns? I remember thinking it was fine, but. . . *skims back through* Yeah, you’re right. There are way too few pronouns XD *cringe* Ah, the joys of…[Read more]

@denali-christianson
BWAHAHAHAHA that was perfect!!!! LOL yes, Sloane is such a dramaqueen 😂

This was not her house.
She tilted her head quite quizzically and bemused but inside she was panicking. Just a little lot. Drugged? Unlikely. Enchanted? Also unlikely. But there were these two idiots here she could question and she still had her swords.…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

Yes, and yes.

Qatar

Sahar bounded away to go and talk to the new girl. Qatar stayed in the shadows. He could hear Sahar’s bracelets jingling as she hurried away, and he couldn’t tell if he thought it was disgusting or pretty. He shrugged.

there it was again. The quiet splash, followed by the murmur of stones. Only this time the splash hadn’t been so…[Read more]
