Aven groaned. “Why do people always have to die whenever I have plans?”

How to participate

The Village will be open for the rest of the year, until December 31st. You don't have to “visit” everyday, but when you do, make a post letting us know where you are hanging out and share your progress! Feel free to add as much or as little information as you want! Don’t forget to visit others in the village and support them, too!

Hope to see you guys around the village!

Kai: What's worse than heartbreak? Nina: Waking up in the morning and your phone wasn't charging. Meg: Waking up in the morning. Aven: Waking up.

Meg: When I met you I thought you were a real bitch. Aven: What changed your mind? Meg: Oh, I still think you’re a bitch, I’ve just grown to like that about you.

Aven: I didn't drink that much last night. Meg: You were flirting with Nina. Aven: So what? She's my girlfriend. Meg: You asked if she was single. Meg: And then you cried when she said she wasn't.

16 Sentence Writing Tag

Left this buried in my to-dos for ages, but it's finally here lol. Thanks @rivenantiqnerd for the tag! Gonna use a snippet I was working on from class. Keep in mind it's MINIMALLY edited!!!! But I'm trying to unlearn being embarrassed about my writing, so here it is!

At 22, many would have expected Diana to not only be wed, but to have children of her own to worry after. It would be no challenge for her to find herself a suitor, if she so pleased; out of all of the Blackwood daughters, Diana took after their mother the most. The long dark hair, slender frame, and eyes darker than shadows were all the kind donations of their shared blood. Diana’s features were a touch less severe; with softer cheekbones and a marginally brighter complexion, these differences were to her credit more than anything else. Mother had always been more on the sickly end of attractiveness, and while Diana was certainly pale, it was closer to "powdered" than "deathly".

But if Diana herself had any interest or even awareness of her age and diminishing marriageable appeal, she didn't acknowledge it. Evelyn often remarked that Diana might just be aiming for a station as a governess, though she didn't seem to hold much interest in others' children, either.

It was just as well, in Hope's eyes. Evelyn was lovely, but she wasn't the most reliable, and Mother needed all the help she could get, with so many children in one home. Marriage also didn't hold much appeal to Hope herself; had it not been the way of things, she would've chosen to become an explorer, or a professor of some kind. Men weren't much more interesting than marriage, either, not as far as companionship went. They were a curious group, foreign as they were to Hope, who hadn't the opportunity to make the acquaintance of any of them, but ultimately a boring subject. There were plenty of things that were far more curious to her; for instance, the strange nature of fungi, or the process of decomposition in various organic bodies, or the etymology of language.

In the worst case scenario, in which none of the other Blackwood daughters managed to leave maidenhood, Evelyn would marry an equally starry-eyed, wealthy and handsome man, and the rest of the family would live quietly off of the humble monthly allowance they would be kind enough to send them, for however long they would live.

16-ish sentences. Hope you liked!
