My review is out! If you want to see my opinions on the original Home Alone movie, check out the 🔗 down below

@DRRanshaw 🤣 I have only killed the protagonist once. She had to die at the end.

Well, that's... certainly an interesting twist.

Do you have your characters eat in your book? If so how much?

@Chronodendron I'm not over 30 and don't like the idea.

Who here over the age of 40 can still do handstands?

@Pastor_Stan_831 Sorry that it has been rough. I'm glad that you keep on going. Hope you get better soon

Eight months into this cancer journey Update. Two surgeries behind me. A third on April 3, the ileostomy reversal. After that, more recovery from that surgery and the most recent surgery, removing another 2 inches of small intestine and repairing an inguinal hernia, then it’s back to treatment. Chemo or radiation, we’ll see. This hasn’t been easy. Sleep has been rough, 2 to 4 hours a night most days. But my spirit is strong, and my energy has held steady. Weight has been average. God has been faithful through every step. Every day I wake up is a gift, and I thank Him for walking with me and carrying my family through this season. I’m still here. Still fighting. Still trusting. I did get to go preach again recently and it was a great service, great turn out and 2 men gave their lives to Christ. Amen, Amen, Amen... (Tried not to let the pain and fatigue show.) God is Good... 🙏🙏

I was accused of wanting to go to Canada for my graduation trip just so that I could drink. 😂 I didn't drink anything alcoholic though even though I could have.

@RubyMTemple Yeah, that sounds pretty helpful.

So apparently there’s a lot of knowledge I can use from being Canadian and setting my story in Alberta Canada that is gonna make me seem legit. For example, the drinking age here is 18, my FMC is 19 and is surprised that she can drink at the bar (my FMC is American)

@AuthorGoodwin That is cool. I bet you had fun

@RavenaBlakely Ski touring. Better than piste skiing, more fun! 😁

Sorry I've not posted in a few days. Let's just say I've been off-grid.

@AtmosphericDaft I know right?

@RavenaBlakely Thats funny right there! 😃

You have got to be echidna me!

@Pastor_Stan_831 Good grief.

Well, the local thrives broke into my under house storage and stole my 16' Aluminum 6 in 1 ladder, some paint supplies and a small portable generator I use to do extra side work. Not the best place or most secure place to put those things but it's all I have. The actual broke the lock and took it. 🤔🤔

@KT_Carlisle Yay!

First day working in the office after seven months of working from bed. 🥹 I’m so happy I could cry.

@DWARussell22 @CJSimone333 Yeah, makes total sense.

@RavenaBlakely @CJSimone333 I think, and based on the comments, most of us are guilty. We really want reviews and get irritated that most readers don’t leave them, yet when we were just readers most of us didn’t either. It’s not intentional, just not something most readers consider when they finish a book.

I’m curious. Most authors desperately want more reviews, but how many book reviews did you leave before you became an author? Looking back, I don’t think I left more than a handful. Safe to say I didn’t leave reviews on the majority of books I read. You?🤔

@Wolfofsteele While I don't believe in stuff like that. I'm a snake.

Tuesday, always knew my soul was wolven ❤️❤️

@Wolfofsteele If it helps, definitely keep doing it.

Reason why I am writing Briar Moon is because it helps with my depression, keeps my suicidal ideation at bay and because I believe its a story worth telling. Wolfblight will always be my baby, but it's nice to try something a little different. #writingcommunity

@PyresMagicka One would think. I will admit that I don't always do a good job at showing what that would look like, but would definitely be something that would be good

At a time when upwards of 25% of children in the USA live in single parent homes, is it time to create and promote books, shows and movies that represent what a stable, two parent home could look like? Where both the dad and mom are competent, caring adults?

@AtmosphericDaft Thank you Marvalo Marketing Executive!

@RavenaBlakely As a Marvalo Marketing Executive we simply must use your tagline 😎

You heard it here first🤣🤣🤣

@jzpitts Probably not the only one. I was pretty excited talking to my brother about my ideas for a book cover. It's exciting stuff

Fellow authors, do you get crazy stoked for your book covers? Maybe it’s me, but the cover for my upcoming cozy fantasy, The Pick & Pint, is being created. Every update the designer shares with me gets me all hyped up and excited. 😁 I can’t be the only one, right?

@DRRanshaw 😂

I feel attacked.
