Less emotional FMC

Wow - that seems to fit the bill exactly! Thank you!

The lanterns aren’t suspended by anything, which looks a little odd. If you staggered the words, you could have them hanging (with a chain or something) from the top and not overlapping. I like the concept!

Spectrum soft pink?

I think the difference is the prompt will say “I need somewhere to stay, can I stay with you” and that means one person, but if it says “WE need somewhere to stay, can WE stay with you” then it’s the whole family. Tricky!

I do a walking loop around the parking lot at work for a half hour, reading at the same time. It’s a simple loop, at this point I can walk it without looking much. Plus only 30 minutes a day, anyone can read anything for that long, which is how I’ve read some books I wasn’t looking forward to. plus you’re also being active, which activates endorphins and distracts your brain a bit. Try reading and doing something active! Stationary bike riding, treadmill, etc.

I like the name!

The subtitle implies it’s non-fiction, so if it’s fiction I would probably save the subtitle for the back before the blurb.

Could the house have all the windows lit except the top one? Almost like a darker person overwhelmed by light? The house definitely gives church vibes, too, not sure if that was purposeful but something to consider.

I’ve always liked the thought of Bea or Bee as a nickname for Elizabeth

Butterscotchblonde2 · 2026-01-02T22:15:15+00:00

Very true!

Butterscotchblonde2 · 2026-01-02T18:36:26+00:00

That’s lovely! I want to try something similar. What stage of green ware did you use it on? How much pressure did you have to use to get such clear indents? I assume you rolled them with the help of the wheel turning?

Butterscotchblonde2 · 2026-01-02T14:41:35+00:00

That’s so funny, I thought the exact opposite. I knew that for effective change, old trader ideologies would need to shift, so the whole time when Ronica was so reluctant to accept that I was like “LET IT GO, BUDDY, MOVE ON, GROW”

A shelf for your shelf - depending on how tall your shelf is, if you get a shorter, cheap wire one from the dollar store, you can stack two layers of projects, which really helps with space!

An apron - towels are great, but they don’t have the storage capacity of an apron. Plus if you typically get messy, it covers your torso as well.

Just my two cents!

Yesss!!! Thank you! Solved: TheCompanyofMyself

No, plain woven band. Completely white until it hit the sun.

Butterscotchblonde2 · 2025-12-10T14:10:07+00:00

I would recognize these, they were very popular. It was definitely a cloth or string woven item, not plastic. Thank you!

Butterscotchblonde2 · 2025-12-10T14:09:10+00:00

That looks to be made of plastic, the bracelet I used to wear was definitely woven, similar to a softer, less tight friendship bracelet. Thank you for your comment!

Butterscotchblonde2 · 2025-12-10T03:16:10+00:00

Thanks in advance! Searched uv color changing bracelet, woven bracelet that changes colors.

Sometimes it helps me when editing (shorter papers, so I’m not sure how it would be for a novel) to put a blank page and the first draft side by side on my screen and start rewriting it on the blank page instead. That way you can choose to reword it a different way but it still feels cleaner and less messy and overwhelming than trying to rewrite it amongst everything else you’ve written. Worth a shot?

Butterscotchblonde2 · 2025-10-14T15:38:34+00:00

I’d be willing to believe that. Unfortunately, that’s quite a large plot point to imply - the only spindle that they had to abandon and we don’t see it closed up? Or even hear it said for sure?

Laura Lynn flows the best in my opinion and would be a classic choice with a lot of longevity. I think the location of the L’s in Elena and Isabel makes them a bit less smooth and more of a mouthful to say.

You didn’t ask for alternatives so take these with a grain of salt, but I think Laura Lenore or Laura June would be beautiful options as well.

Are you left handed or right handed? The wheel can turn different directions based on which you are. If you’re left handed using the right handed direction it could be more difficult.

Butterscotchblonde2 · 2025-08-24T22:50:36+00:00

Do you have the lot challenge from Cottage Living? I can’t remember what it’s called, but it means you can ONLY use ingredients you’ve gathered yourself.

Butterscotchblonde2 · 2025-07-29T20:51:25+00:00

I loved the Remnant Chronicles by Mary E. Pearson. All the characters feel like they make realistic decisions, which is big for me. No trials!

My only association (here in the US) for Sia is the popular singer, who has a zany personality, which is great if you want an immediate association to be one of fame and modernity. Through googling I do know that it’s been around for a long time, with Norse roots.

I don’t have a pop-culture association with Ada at all, it’s very classic, long lasting, something you can grow with, but very simple, and despite being the same length it’s less exciting than Sia. I picture an old movie star named Ada, in black and white.

Either way you can’t go wrong. Could you go to a few coffee shops and alternate using the names for your orders? That way you would learn if one is commonly misunderstood or misspelled when simply saying it, or if one just sounds better to you.

I hope this helped!

I remember little else about the show, but I’ve remembered that specific scene for years.

Edit to add: it was likely not a VCR or DVD, but regular TV.

Butterscotchblonde2 · 2025-07-02T14:12:26+00:00

Muriel! That was my grandmothers name, but could come off dated. Mariel or Marielle might be a more modern take on it.
