They walked for miles suffering the miserable heat.
“How long is it until we reach wherever?” Julian asked
Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you ever know who would love the person you hide.
“Yes, let’s.” Ellie said.
Finn went forward so he was in the lead, and the others followed

(Woah, I am so sorry I haven’t been here! I completely forgot!)
Finn put his arm around his own sister realizing quickly that K’Nika wasn’t as lucky as he was.
Ellie walked over to K’Nika and placed her hand on her arm, “I may not be a sister, but I’m still your friend.”
Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you ever know who would love the person you hide.
(Haha, great idea 😉 )
Finn frowned and looked at Ellie. She shook her head and whispered, “K’Nika’s people don’t get along with Thabians…”
“Oh,” Finn nodded.
Julian sped up to get close to K’Nika, “it’s alright, they won’t recognize you.” He told her.

“Does anyone know what’s ahead?” Julian asked smoothing back his sweaty hair.

Hey Bettty! Sorry I’m late.
I’m happy you’re starting writing while you’re still young. Still in high school, huh?!
Yes ma’am! I am 15 (and a half) years old 🙂
I am one of the younger ones here. Most people here are about 17 or 18.
So happy that is many years behind me. It wasn’t a great experience. I am grateful for all my experiences, though, for they’ve made me the person I am today. Far from perfect, but most importantly, forgiven!
Amen! So far I’ve been good, and I intend on keeping it that way.
I am learning acrylic painting. I’m taking a Udemy class that’s taught me a lot. It’s a bit frustrating right now. I’ll work through it, though, and get this grapefruit painting finished. After I finish the class, I can start painting whatever I want. Just have to finish. I think painting an opened grapefruit is weird, but I suppose the techniques I’m learning are necessary building blocks. I want to paint something fun, like flowers or kitties!
Lovely! I am a self taught oil painter. I would love to be taught how to actually paint so it looks better, but so far Bob Ross tutorials on YouTube is the most training I’ve had, haha.
I love painting scenery, but I’d love to be able to do flowers and potraits. One of these days I’ll have to dive into trying to learn all of that. I’m not sure I could even do an opened grapefruit, so you’re ahead of me there 😂
Have a good night!

“This is strange,” Ellie agreed.
“And quite miserable,” Lacey added.
Finn walked on in silence not acknowledging the heat. This wasn’t anything new to him, so it was hot but tolerable.
“I don’t remember it being so hot at home,” Lacey started again, “except that time we had the festival with that huge fire and Julian got way too close. Finn had to splash him with water because his clothes started to light up.”
Julian rolled his eyes and Finn smirked.
“Good memories,” Ellie smiled.
(that’s so cool that you get to do that even with being homeschooled!)
Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you ever know who would love the person you hide.
Lacey jumped up from the ground and went with the others. Julian picked up a stick to use as a walking stick, and Ellie went with the crowd.
The sun was already beating down, “Whew, it’s a hot day for this time of year,” Julian said wiping his forehead.
(Wizard’s curse btw)
(She sounds cool! Yeah, I bet it was an emotional time. I’m sad I won’t get to experience that moment being homeschooled, but at the same time I’m not sure if I could handle it. I hate change like that)
Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you ever know who would love the person you hide.
Finn held up his hands in a “don’t hurt me” manor. “North it is then,” he said then started walking in that direction.
(Woah, cool! She sounds like an epic character!)
(Hey, congrats!!! I bet you’re excited! That’s so cool)
Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you ever know who would love the person you hide.
“You sure he went north?” Finn questioned

IM HERE IM HERE NO ONE PANIC!
Ey, nice job! It’s good to set a goal for yourself. Right now I’ve been trying to write three pages a day, and it’s pretty much all trash, but I’m glad it’s getting done. Well, it was. Until finals happened 😭.
Thanks! Yes, goals are quite helpful and a thousand a day isn’t too overwhelming and I’m alright with not achieving that goal every single day. I do most days, but some days I’m just so exhausted or I get stuck on what the next part is supposed to look like, I just skip that day.
Trash is needed to get anywhere. No matter how hard you try, it’s going to be awful. The trick is getting words down on paper, then you go back and fix it all ten, twenty times and it will be incredible.
3 pages a day is great! Just do what you can each day, be disciplined but also flexible. Meaning, don’t skip a day out of laziness, but also don’t stress yourself out trying to reach your goals. There’s a good center line that is quite helpful once you figure out what it is 🙂
Good luck with finals! (and if you’re already finished, I bet you did great!)
My other main WIP I’m focusing on is a sci-fi retelling of the prodigal son and Cain and Abel! What about yours?
Interesting mix! Sci-fi isn’t my favorite, but that actually sounds fascinating.
I have like three different ones I am currently working on XD Before you get mad at me for breaking the important writing rule of only doing ONE thing at a time, I want you to know I somehow managed to keep up with all three simultaneously.
I have a romance, a fantasy (actually, not too sure what this one is. It has hints of romance and dystopian too. I’ll just go with fantasy until I figure it out), and a dystopian. Take your pick of which one you want to hear about 😁
Hi Joshua! Thanks for subscribing to my newsletter! I just saw that yesterday, so I didn’t send you any previous emails because it would’ve been weird coming so late, haha. If there’s any topics you want to hear about let me know! If I’ve already covered it I’ll send you that email, and if I haven’t it’ll give me an idea. (so far everyone’s favorite seems to be my two part lesson on comedy)
Call center work is sooo under rated. XD It has been eating all my creative energy trying to solve other peoples’ near impossible problems. I also had some writer block as I needed to rethink my story’s 1st act. I was forcing myself to cram in too many characters and worldbuilding details. I finally think I am onto something now as it seems easier to write at a better pace.
Ah, writer’s block is awful. At least you spent your writer’s block moment being productive for your writing. When I had it, I didn’t want to even think about writing so I got nowhere for months.
I’m glad things are going better for you! Sometimes it’s just a small change that will bring you back into the writing mood.
During my writer block, I did make a lot of progress developing my main character, a warrior princess, and designed a regal outfit befitting of her title. Super stoked when I will reveal that part when she finally accepts her official role.
Sounds awesome! Isn’t that the most fun thing to write? I love those moments where you’re so excited to write a certain scene. I have yet to stick with a project long enough to get to write that scene though, ngl. I am almost there in my romance story though. It seriously happens in like a chapter or two. I’m thrilled!
Hey you!! I know you. You’ve threatened to murder me many times 😁 (you also laugh at my stupid pictures apparently which makes me happy to hear)
*Arrives 20 minutes late with a Starbucks – which upon closer examination you realize is a white cup with the logo crudely drawn on and contains coffee my Dad made (straight black and strong)*
BLEH! Your sister knows how to drink coffee, why don’t you?
(that mental image is still quite lovely though 🙂 )
… Hello strange people from the void! I am back and half-way active! Solely because I. Finally. Graduated. College! (in December)
Congratulations!! What were you going to college for?
… AND I HAVE A JOB! (started a couple months ago, became full time like a week? two? ago.)
Oh, I heard about that!! That’s great! What kind of job is it? (Cathy may have told me, but we share a braincell and that’s all I need to say)
Anyways, I went through a sPeLl that affected my writing (this whole journey has drained me a lot – adulting stinks) but I’m on the up-and-up now.
I’m writing fanfiction because it’s less stressful than original work (at the moment), humbles me (which I need – but seriously, I’ve erased and rewritten this sentence so many times because I do NOT want to be judged and pride really, really sucks right now why do people think pride makes them feel good?!), and because I read somewhere that you need to write three novels before you can write one of a publishable quality (I don’t want to kill any more ideas I have, I’m SUUUUPER attached to them – which is a different problem).
Would not allowing me to tap to Believer at midnight be a sense of pride? 🤔
Wait, what!? Three novels?? Before you can publish?? THAT’S NOT FAIR!! I like my stories, and I want to publish them so I can get the credit for destroying the world 😢
But on another note… fanfiction is cool! Is there something in particular you’re writing about?
I’ve also been trying to spend more time with my family…
That’s great! I know they appreciate that. You’ve got such a sweet family, treasure every moment you have with them 🙂
OKAY TIME TO CRAWL BACK INTO MY HOLE- GOODBYE CITIZENS!

Ellie loaded up all her stuff and Julian put out the fire.
Finn looked around trying to decide on what direction to continue in.
Lacey sighed and got up still not fully awake.

(that’s epic!!! how does he find out about her?)
After everyone finished breakfast, Finn stood. “Shall we head forward?”
(He’s very much a leader, so look out XD)

Julian sighed and threw them over his shoulder.
“Sorry Julian, we just don’t want you poisoning us again,” Lacey mumbled

I see I’m late and you’ve already figured out what you’re doing 😂
I am just working my way through high school at the moment. I’m homeschooled, and I’ve let myself get behind a bit.
I am going to hopefully start a college leveled program for culinary here in a year or two. If the world hasn’t ended by then, that is.
After I get out of school, I hope to find a Christian college and use my scholarship to go into some business and marketing classes! I love school, so I’m quite excited to go to college.
Do you paint, or am I reading that wrong?
You sure can request betas! There isn’t much you aren’t allowed to do around here. You should see what some of us have gotten away with!
(Joking. Sorta…)
