I love all your babies!! They look so sweet. Was having a snake for a pet a little scary at first…? There’s this kind of snake in TX that has too small a mouth to bite, so we used to play with them whenever we found them, but it took some convincing the first time we did it. 😆

There’s no rhyme or reason to how I pick names. Som…[Read more]

@arindown

Yeahhh… guess there’s a fine line between scribbling and art 😝

Awww, that’s so sweet about the kittens!! My cat’s fixed, but we always seem to end up with rescue kittens and yeah, it’s hard to give them up, especially when you get attached to them… 🥰

Yeah, research with his-fic isn’t my forte—part of the reason I haven’t tri…[Read more]

@katja-r

Oh yeah, always blame the brothers 😉

Daydreaming during schoolwork… 😝

I was reading what you’d said about your WWII story—I love tinkering around with WWII short stories. It takes a lot of research, and it’s a tough thing to write about, but it’s so worth it. 💙

@theswordinthebook Ahhhhh, wow, great job!! Mah baby… No, I don’t mind!! 💙

@melodyjoy

Welcome to Story Embers!! I’m Kassie. 😉 Nice to meet you!!

I know exactly what you mean about drawing on school papers… except I usually end up drawing on my Literature, even though math’s not exactly my favorite either… 😝 History’s my favorite subject, hands-down. 😍

Your story as a baby is so neat!! Praise God for His mirac…[Read more]

@katja-r

*waves* Hey! I’m Kassie. Good to have you here!

I totally hear ya on the being nice but being able to go mean if I get riled 😝 And hey, I’m a total daydreamer, don’t think you have to stop daydreaming to stop procrastinating… just takes some multitasking 😁

I used to be super shy about sharing my stories, so just know it gets easie…[Read more]

@arindown

Hey!! Welcome to SE 😉 I’m Kassie (—and yes, I agree, literally just saying “I’m Kassie” always feels awkward 🙄) Anyway! I can’t draw, but I love scribbling (😝). I have a cat and a dog, and yep, the cat’s the one who just showed up… but I love her for it… 😝

Oh man, I can’t imagine still having snow… Texas has been getting close t…[Read more]

@theswordinthebook Yikesy, sorry about that, glad you got it figured out 😉

@theswordinthebook

Okay, Nigel!! (Also his best friend is an ISTP, so… 🤷🏼‍♀️) He’s 19, just slightly taller than average, blond hair, brown eyes–this is my reference pic for him, but with blonder hair and darker eyes: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/handsome-young-man-91811522–and hair cut slightly closer. I don’t care if he’s…[Read more]

@eitan

Oh yeah, there’s wild boar season in Texas too…

Oh, neat! No, English speakers don’t really say congratulations for that kind of thing, but my baby brother loves new things and would love it if we did. 🤣

@chalice Eee, I can’t wait!!

@theswordinthebook I can’t draw, so I can’t trade you drawings, but if you’re just looking for something to draw my characters are on page 33. 😉 Also Radcliffe is super intriguing…

@the-fledgling-artist Of course!! I loved it!!!

@naiya-dyani No worries!! Take your time. 😉 And if Harley’s giving you fits, you’re welcome to swap for someone else… Harley’s finicky, he just is. 😝

@hope-ann

*cracks knuckles*

For starters, don’t shy away from writing characters of other nationalities. That sounds kind of obvious, but that’s an important place to start.

Imagine having a friend of that nationality read your story. Or if you can, ask someone of that nationality to read it. If you’re comfortable with that, even if you’r…[Read more]

@eitan

Hey, sorry I vanished! I agree, it’s both tragic and ridiculous, all at the same time.

Oh yeah, the Israeli military is fascinating!! So, what is it about the warrior forces…?

That’s sad about the hunting. There’s a few animals, like buffalo, that almost went extinct here in America and now are mostly raised on farms. What anima…[Read more]

@claire-h, @the-fledgling-artist

OKAY Y’ALL I’m so, so sorry I vanished—I got busy and then I forgot to get back on here until Chalice tagged me *instantly feeling bad*, BUT Y’ALLLLL. How do you do it??? I saved the pictures to my phone and I keep going back and looking at them… it’s amazing how y’all can capture my characters from only my des…[Read more]

@eitan

That is so sad…everything about the Holocaust is really heartbreaking. I’m sure it’s less prevalent in Israel, but I know some people in America want to say that it never happened, which is really tragic. May we never, ever forget!

Well, it depends on what part of Texas you’re in, since it’s so big. The part that I’m from, Central…[Read more]

@naiya-dyani No worries at all, we all know how inconsistent I can be 😉 Hmm…watercolor, I think??
<p style=”text-align: left;”>@the-fledgling-artist Yep, he is 😁</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>@claire-h Ahh, I’m so excited!! Sandy blond, all the way. And definitely not a buzz cut… just long and wispy enough to partway cover his ears? If…[Read more]

*squeals again* Y’all have no idea how happy this makes me 😆

@claire-h Awww, I can’t wait!!

@the-fledgling-artist Eee, thanks! Ohh, good point, thank you! Honestly, for these three it doesn’t make a huge difference; if someone got Layla, that’s a different story. 😝
Okay, if y’all are making me pick… I’m gonna give you Andrew. He’s 19, ha…[Read more]
