@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]

@this-is-not-an-alien

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]

Ooooh, if you don’t want to talk about weather, you’re barking up the wrong tree, lol. I love the topic of weather. 🙂 Are your winters damp, as well as being cold? (Damp is the worst in wintertime. Thankfully we don’t have too much of it here. It does get down to -28.89 C/-20 F where I live. Do you get a lot of windchill over there? also, in the…[Read more]

“Like it? I heard siblings can be a pest sometimes,” Acyn smiled, rather wryly.

like it… a year ago Quin would have told him that siblings were the best relationships in the world; that his brother was his best friend; that they could tell what the other was thinking without ever saying it.

But now?

Quin shrugged. “It’s not…always easy to…[Read more]

Hi is this castle full or is there a possibility I could throw one of my characters into the mix?

Hi everyone!

Is this where cool people add their stories for critique? 😎

And can I join???😂

Yila 

Yila walked up to the target to retrieve her arrows. She had pulled the last one when the talkative knife girl appeared beside her, her eyes sparkling.

“Do you mind if I join?” she asked, holding out a handful of pretty throwing knives.

Yila stared at her. Here she had been enjoying some quiet weapons time, and knife girl just had the…[Read more]

Sahar

Acyn stared at me as though he had no idea what an inconsiderate fool he was being.

Yila was staring at Leytara as though she would be delighted to murder her.

I watched her, concerned. Her arm was healing fast, but there was still something off about her. Something that might have nothing to do with her arm.

Niarok stood in front of…[Read more]

@rebekah12

It did kinda die, didn’t it?

At any rate, I’d say you might want to use pronouns a bit more?  I didn’t read through the whole thing – it’s very long and I have a very small attention span (the joys of ADHD) – but I did read the first segment, and it seemed like you used Culvin’s first name an inordinate amount of times.  I would r…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

So how is Dutch weather in the winter?

Dutch people are good at two things. Complaining about the weather and complaining about prices. I have apparently adopted the former talent.

Cold. Wet. Dark. In that order XD. I have endless amounts of adjectives (all of them negative) to ascribe to Dutch weather in any of its seasons.…[Read more]

Aw, ok! *totally hasn’t done that to myself either* Take your time!
