*Me, reading the update: Oh no, Alessio is having a nightmare. *Sob.*

*Me, continues reading: NOOOO ALESSIO!!!! DON’T PICK UP THE DOLL!!!!! *Screams* I’m done.*

Arsene had decided to walk back to the others, planning heists for another day. That’s when he heard the scream.

Alessio! I shouldn’t have left him alone!

Mara

The man took a moment before he relaxed and smiled. “I’m Frey. I thought you were a part of whatever dream this is at first.”

He laughs, and I frown. So this isn’t a dream, then? Frey’s next question came too fast for me to ask that one.

”What’s your name?” The wheelchair creaks the tiniest bit as he leans forward for my reply.

”Mara G…[Read more]

“I’m awake I’m awake…” He grumbled, jerking up in a cold sweat. Some stupid noise woke him probably but it was all still hazy.

He crawled to his feet, rolling out of bed.

No walls – not solid ones at least. Just solid, blurry grey and blue lights. Blue light foxfire, shimmering softly. Everything so quiet, other than a soft hum like those cute,…[Read more]

@e-n-leonard

I definitely agree with what was mentioned about setting aside the book between drafts. For me at least, that’s been really important.

Yes, and unfortunately it’s something I find hard to do, since I like to just leap into things and get them done, without realizing that sometimes what seems like the long way is really the qui…[Read more]

My pleasure! 🙂

Thank you so much for this explanation!

@inkhorn

Oops, I didn’t see your post until I posted mine. Would you still like them to interact with Conroy?

I’d love to! Eve will likely still be near the entrance, and I’m gonna write a thing with Calix here, so you can interact with either one of them!

@rose-colored-fancy

Ahhhh, I love how you wrote that!!

thank you so much!!

AND WHY I…

Frey

My shoulders feel heavy, a deep ache settled in them. I can’t do anything about it, as always. I just hope this won’t last all day, if I have to do too much now, I’ll get a flare tomorrow, and I’m in the middle of a big assignment. If I get a bad grade on it, I’ll have to work harder elsewhere to catch up, and I don’t have the capacity to…[Read more]

@everyone

okay I think I am going crazy here😵‍💫

I uploaded Mayras POV just two days ago but it didn’t appear ao i figured that it was just like POOF gone. So I wrote another one last night and uploaded it and LO BEHOLD they are both in the chat!

@irishcelticredflowercrown

I LOVE Mayra already!! It’s so fun to see some other of your characters!

@mamaauthoress

Ahhhh, I love how you wrote that!! AND WHY ISN’T CALIX THERE?? Laura?? I’m worried?? XD

@e-n-leonard

I’m honestly not sure what Frey would say. He seems a little unpredictable XD

Unpredictable is putting it lightly XD It’ll be s…[Read more]

*Strolls in with a cup of hot tea* Hi everyon— it appears I have some catching up to do.. XD Sorry for my absence, but I have Returned!!

Yarrow

Yarrow notched an arrow and ran as swift as the wind toward the fight. But before he could release his projectile, everything faded into purple mist.
The sense of floating only lasted for a sec…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

As an additional note here, it’s a good idea to set aside the book for a while if you’re in the latter camp when you finish.

Ah, great suggestion! I do that as well, I just forgot to mention it XD

@wingiby-iggiby

As for my WIP, I am farther along in it than any other book attempt before! I’m over 50,000 words *squeals in delig…

Awesome thanks! Here we go so…

Mayra

I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how I had ended up here.

I walked through the cavern, an unknown light source from above illuminating the high ceiling. Stalactites and stalagmites were situated every where the eye could see.

How did I end up in a cavern in the outskirts of Media Nox? I f…[Read more]

That’s generally how I do it. It’s the easiest method I’ve found. Most readers will comment; I’ve also had some who save up their thoughts and send me a comprehensive feedback list at the end in an email or separate document (I’ve gotten PDFs multiple times). Either way, though, Gdocs is a good means for them to read it.

I often ask my…[Read more]

Mara

I blink in the comparatively dim light in this next room. Is it dark enough to hide my face? I shudder. There is no way that woman was real. There is no way any success of mine could result in that. I crouch down, wondering whom I will catch in my operation.

Creak, creak.

My head whips around. A young man on a wheelchair rolls into the r…[Read more]

@calidris

What a marvelous suggestion! Really, I’m concerned that this room will be filled with maniacal laughter. Fashion show! 🤣

@calidris

She does have a negative character arc. It’s so hard to think of that when I’m writing her joking around with her little brother 😭  And the thing is, I don’t know if she’ll be redeemed! *wails*  Little did I know pantsing could result in this 🙁

@wingiby-iggiby

I definitely agree with what was mentioned about setting aside the book between drafts. For me at least, that’s been really important.

Thank you so much! I will most certainly let you know when I’ve got it ready!!

You’re welcome! I’m excited to read it!

I do have a few more questions though, not necessarily about beta reade…

awesome! Here she is so 🙂

Mayra

I hummed quietly to myself as I linked my arms through the granite railing. I was at least fifty feet off the ground but the heights didn’t faze me anymore than the bosses thugs did. My body balanced at an angle from the roof like a gargoyle as I looked out at the silent streets. This was the a…[Read more]
