I wasn’t referring to the depression, impressively enough (score one for recovery right?). Or the violence.

I am self-aware of the fact that I swear and I do remember you asked me not to.

🫥

Did I black out?

Did I … finally finish falling through another hole in reality?

Well.

That’s … interesting.

I’ll just not dwell on that.

At all.

“Fine, can I start with killing you?”

“Hey. Can I join you?” Because honestly, the monster in charge of literal holes in reality needs to die.

Or at least get punched in the face.

Hi @kayla13892

I’m Hannah! *insert awkward wave* I had a bit of a learning curve on Story Embers myself.

I admit, I’m also not writing strictly horror right now. But those techniques will be used often enough in my current project – once I hit plot point 1 – that I’m not actually 100% sure about that.

So I am not particularly familiar with w…[Read more]

Sorry for the long delay – life’s been using me as a punchbag. 

Sooooooooo

I don’t remember falling asleep.

But I wake up sore, ornery, hungry, bleeding, hurting, ready to fight whatever G-d Search and Thomas believe in and even more ready to go back to sleep and not wake up for another hundred years.

That’s actually a stupidly nice idea,…[Read more]

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.”

@noah-cochran

So do you write chronologically (starting in chapter 1 and ending at last chapter)?

I am probably the most nonlinear writer you could hope to meet! But I’m actually trying to make an effort to be more liner with my Certain as the Sun fic…

…which I’m currently ignoring in hopes of finishing this outline…

(There is clearly no…[Read more]

How much ya paying

No pay – this would legit be a free thing I put out on the internet for funzies.

You do remember you should do things for fun, right?

Right?!

Anyway, it’s a loooooong way in the future. If at all. Just seems like it would be fun. 🤷‍♀️

*scuttles out of cave in great agitation dramatically abandoning an outline in a fit*

*checks it out*

“forum update from” *checks date* “three days ago?! HOW?”

@noah-cochran

Wow, three books in one book? Is it gonna be 200k+ words? If so, fantastic! (I have a great liking for long books that aren’t C…

“Failure to accept your fatal flaws shall end in death. Touch the mirrors and begin your trials.”

Uhhhhhh … what made the mirror’s special?

How are mirrors related to fatal flaws?

What trials?

“So, who wants to go first?” comes a strange voice I hadn’t heard yet – yet being defined as ‘since I fell through the first hole in reality.’

@noah-cochran

There are four of us on Story Embers, five of us total.

Is your WIP a stand alone or a series?

As for my WIP, the working title is Lost City of Dragons – I tend to abbreviate it to tLCoD. Another working title is Brand of the Crypt – I hate the title though. 😑 It is SUPPOSED to be a standalone novel, but it’s also kinda a…[Read more]

Hi!

@rose-colored-fancy

Rejoice in the swords and do not assume my collection will stop at two katanas. Or even with weapons from a singular country.

The day will come when I have a room of nothing but swords.

But it is not this day. 😔

The current summary for my WIP is

*slides in months late with a Starbucks and a (two) new obsession(s)*

Yo. I legit forgot this exists because life, in all their delicate and refined glory, decided to use me for target practice. (Side note, they have really, really good aim.)

Anyway, @this-is-not-an-alien, introduce me to your friends because I … don’t actually know anyone o…[Read more]

Soooooooo…

I very much intentionally, with sound mind and full thought and definitely full intention – did I mention that? – deliberately pulled the pin out of my smoke grenade. Because you are only supposed to handle these if you are going to use them.

Now, in my favor, these aren’t the exploding exploding kinds. But the shell definitely…[Read more]

“Move! You’re in the road!”

I recoil from the blaring noise coming with the annoyed screams.

“Oh shut up you dirt-eater! Can’t you see I’m blind?!”

What’s this punk talking about “in the road?” This ain’t a road. Roads are steel and electricity suspended two bodies’ high in the air! Ya’d be an idiot to get on them. It’s impossible to get [Read more]

“What do you need help with?”

Well, that brings back memories. That I don’t want or have time for right now.

“Getting out of the pile of glass would be a wonderful start punk.” I shake my shirt and hear the faintest series of ‘plinks’ on the floor. Tile then, of some form or fashion. “I sure don’t want to fall face first in it.”

I swing…[Read more]

[Quietly steps in. Deposits pathetic writing snipping. Quietly steps out.]

…

Well, I may have some trouble keeping up with certain punks, but not today, because today I’m doing my own thing.

Okay, okay, so today I fell through a hole in reality. It’s not my fault. I was just walking along, minding my own business and all the sudden I trip…[Read more]
