What’s your WIP about?  Do you have any favorite books?  What are some of your favorite crafts?
That’s really cool that you’re learning to knit!  I never learned to knit, but it does seem fun (and practical.)

I think that SE is…unfortunately rather inactive at the moment.  I think that…[Read more]

@mamauthoress has Eve and Calix – siblings who wield immensely powerful magic in their world

@e-n-leonard‘s siblings @lady-grace and @ethan-leonard joined SE!

@e-n-leonard has Mara, who’s actually an antagonist in her story (but I love her so much :’)

I’m going to go ahead and get started on that new challenge!

@mamaauthoress those characters sound interesting!  Are they related to Ruan’s story by any chance?

@ethan-leonard Would you like to go ahead and have Saevus finish off Lord Castle?  I don’t think the vulture vomit idea is going to work out, since @jared-williams isn’t active right now

Actually @everyone I have an i…[Read more]

That is a very wise decision, and I think that by avoiding focusing on the act itself, you’ll be much less likely to trigger your readers!

Also:

@jared-williams has two characters who both experienced sexual trauma (I actually think both were in some kind of slavery).  He’s also exploring themes surrounding that, and the…[Read more]

Ehud didn’t stop crying until a warm hand squeezed his shoulder. He just wanted to be held, or belong. And boys weren’t supposed to cry everybody made fun of him for being a cry…[Read more]

LOL I love it, Frank and Bob…😂😂😂

And I gotta admit, this is fun. Everyone just had to reveal their deepest regret, and then, BOOM, Saevus goes ballistic.

Saevus pressed his attack forward aggressively. Lord Castle countered, but Saevus blasted at his defense, for wing him back.

Suddenly a swarm of bugs of some sort came f…[Read more]

I’ve done mine🙂

Is Lorcan still in the castle? I forget who is writer is…

I’m going to try to finish his tonight!

I’m done with my characters’ regrets. After they’ve finished any interaction with Avin, I’m going to pull them out during the beginning of Saevus’s battle and plop Mara into the middle of it (she’ll love that).

So… Okay. it’s hard to think of debatable topics cause many of us agree to so much. lol…

Haha, yeah

When a Christian dies, the common platitude is that he/she is with Jesus in heaven now. However, besides when Jesus said to the thief “Today, you will be with me in paradise…”, I do not recollect any other specific verse that…

So for me personally, I wouldn’t feel comfortable writing it, but I don’t think I’d have an issue with reading it, since I know you’re a Christian and you’re dedicated to following Christ (you don’t come across as lukewarm at all XD).

In my opinion, the more prominently God and the Bible…[Read more]

I think @inkhorn ‘s characters to still have to share theirs too 🙂

@jared-williams

Thank you both so much! This helps a lot! I love your exposition ideas!

wait… so, did Airu attack Jade, or attack herself? sorry, I probably should be able to read between the lines, but my mind’s apparently not working right now.

Oh, she killed herself. Sorry if that was confusing.

@jared-williams

I think it would actually be a good idea to start posting content warnings on posts that have disturbing material in them!

@calidris

I was actually thinking of putting a content warning on mine before I read any of this!

@jared-williams

Yeah, Ku’s ordeal is definitely triggering for us ladies. However, it is an issue that shouldn’t be ign…[Read more]

oh, yeah. though… I haven’t watch all of it yet… I really like how they put that together. Have you heard of Sight & Sounds Theater? They have AMAZING musical productions of Bible stories!!!!!! Like, seriously, worth looking into!

Me too! We’ve watched both season… 3 or 4 times each I think XD. It’s my favorite show. (Translatio…[Read more]

I will agree. Warnings or a buildup are a good idea. I’ll admit that when I was reading that I was kinda like, where on earth is this going…?Also, I’ll give a warning right now-when Saevus’ biggest regret comes in, it’ll be in the middle of a battle, and a sword battle at…[Read more]

(now im interested….). so…….. what parts made you laugh? ? ?

Hanniumm wearing a frilly nightgown, the scene where Aefflaed finds out they’ll be riding a bear, the diamond poop😂. I think there may be a few others, but they don’t want to be remembered right now, lol.

perfectly okay!!! the more eyes on it, the better!!!! (I really REALLY hope to get it traditionally published once I tweak a few things…..

👍
I think you will! It was really good and had me laughing at 2 a.m., which is rare.

I’m curious, since the others had their clothes changed for the dance… was Saevus forced into a suit and tie? 😂

um… not quite. lol. She read the prequel, so to speak. She read the story of how my main protagonist’s parents got together, (which consequently was when the the main protagonist’s father killed the main antagonist’s father…. due to the blood curse as well…. so… yeah! all connected. 😮😉)

No use in letting another unexpected event delay the dance. Jade ushered Isaias, Abirami, and Ophelia onto the stage.

”Wait,” she said. “Ophelia, you found some sort of music player. Where is that?”

Ophelia shuffled her feet and smiled before gesturing toward the radio’s (?) recess. Why would the girl be nervous over some music? She start…[Read more]

”Quiet, wench!” shouted the weird fire guy, swinging his metal-gloved hand at Jade.

She ducked in time to avoid the blow, but not the fire that suddenly burst from his hand. Searing agony licked the side of her face. She dropped to her knees in shock, cupping her cheek in her hand and screaming. Then she fell silent, and something dee…[Read more]
