AWW KEIRYN 😭
sure! So I don’t really have blurbs (what I call back of the book things or synopsis’) I mean I do have some but they’re not polished not do they fit really anymore so I’ll just give an overarch of the series or the two MCs in the first book
Basically I have 8 MCs, and a new one or two is introduced each book (except after book 5 which is Luna’s book, I got that wrong earlier XD)
Anyway!
The overarching series is all about being Destined of God and it deals with many themes, but most of them are dealing with brokenness, mostly of yourself, healing, loving who you are and seeing yourself as God sees you, and Redemption.
The books go through different lands in the world of Aú, and it’s your average “Destined to destroy a great evil” trope, with the “Chosen ones” but it does get flipped on its head IMO because they travel through different lands every book and so it’s basically a different story but also the same each time.
(for instance the second book is a circus murder mystery, the third is a rebellion/war, etc)
The first book of the series begins with my two MCs Arabella and November, in their homeland called A’Grend, and by the end of it, Arabella makes the choice to oust herself from it in order to save it, and November chooses to go with her.
This prompts their journey through lands to find what they need to stop the evil so they can return home.

That way he becomes a kind of comfort character – and you can give him a longer, much more subtle arc throughout the entire thing.

February 13, 2023 at 7:47 pm #132816Oh interesting…
It’s hard because the shift of the story changes when some major events happen… aka major characters leaving the bunker… lol. So yeah I either abandon the characters left behind or find a way to still use them. Or follow there plot arc with other side characters. I dunno. I hadn’t thought of that though… I actually have no pov characters just because it’s comic style, and you can see everyone’s thoughts.

February 13, 2023 at 8:47 pm #132827Aww Paxton!!! Soren!!! 😭😭😭❤❤
And Aramis….
😡😤😡😤😡😤
Ugh, I’m so conflicted rn. AHHH 😭😭😡😤
Aww Keiryn!! He’s so sweet. <3<3
Great scene! I loved it! Poor Keiryn 😭😭❤❤.
I have the same problem with Matthew! Like, I’m trying to figure out what his purpose in my book is. But I have to have him! Like, the book would not be complete without him…I’ve just got to figure out what his purpose is. Where he fits in.

February 13, 2023 at 10:35 pm #132839Thanks for explaining. I think episodic may be a good way to describe your plot structure.
Through darkness,
light shines brightestFebruary 13, 2023 at 11:05 pm #132840Ikr! yeah, mathew and Keiryn must stay!
My issue is mostly that Keiryn is necessary for Tauren and Lesli to leave.. but what after?
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."
February 14, 2023 at 8:03 am #132859Yeah! Hmm…Well, maybe you could leave him for a while and go with Tauren and Lesli, and then maybe come back to him…
So like why do Tauren and Les leave? Where do they go? Maybe he goes somewhere too, and meets them eventually. Idk, this is just my brainstorming lol.
Or something else happens to him. Maybe he could hear about someone who could help his parents get back together and goes to find them. And he could have a little story about that.
Idk. Feel free to ignore this 😅.

February 14, 2023 at 12:46 pm #132874Lol no thanks for the brainstorming!
It’s a little hard to come up with ideas because well… i’ve got some things figured out and I’m not sure how much to share…
Actually Keiryn’s parents don’t get back together, I think Lesli’s will though, still figuring it out. They leave mostly as just like to escape the boring and not so fun life in the bunkers. Also because they’d like people to see that keeping the peace by hiding isn’t the way to go. Perhaps I should tell you something…
Keiryn has the key to the mining district exit 😯
XDXD
Or he did at the time he tested it…
Perhaps when Layson broke the lock, the key was replaced and Keiryn no longer has the correct one…
So he’s necessary in that way, but idk what his character arc should be…
What is Mathews role currently?

Yeah…hmm. That is tough to figure out. Maybe pray about it, see what God wants. Maybe He’s got some ideas? 😅😀😁😉 I need to do that too, about my book. I’m really stuck rn. 😅
What is Mathews role currently?
So…rn he’s Asher’s best friend. So he may be with Asher when he’s taken, and that would be interesting…because I’m thinking Matt may be the secret son of someone in my book, not sure yet. 😅😅It’s a mess. 🤦

Does anybody like retelling Bible stories? I’m thinking of making one on one of the disciples sisters. I know we don’t technically know if one of them has a sister but I’m imagining at least one of them did. What do y’all think?
February 15, 2023 at 10:21 am #132935I have no clue what that’s from…. but it was fun to read!! I like Echo!

February 15, 2023 at 10:22 am #132936(How you doing? I feel like it’s been a hot minute since I’ve asked)
Thanks for thinking of me, girl! *hug* I’m doing alright, just trying to figure out life and not get too overwhelmed. I feel like I’m at a cross-roads, and I should do something before it’s too late. But I don’t know what, and that makes me anxious. Anyway, don’t mind me. I often get a bit stressed out and then my parents will talk it over with me and I’ll feel better! And I’m so blessed right now, I just need to recognize it and be thankful! So how are you doing?

I think it’s a fun idea! Which disciple is the main character’s brother?
