@lorelei-writer. Your friend did absolutely WONDERFUL!
@freedomwriter76 I KNOW! She really did! My WIP is basically just a practice novel for me; but it’s about a maidservant who runs away from a palace and joins a group of rebels, who are planning to take down the evil prince before he can become king. (And she especially likes this one blond rebel… XD)
Hello to you, too! I love the aesthetic of your profile. 🧡 What are you writing?

@lorelei-writer. OOH, your WIP sounds very intriguing! 😀 (XD Haha. Some Romance, perhaps!? XD)
Aww, thanks! ❤️ Well…I’m a known multitasker, so I have MANY, MANY WIP’s, but I have one main one I’m trying to specifically focus on. My main WIP’s title is Freedom’s Fire. It’s a WWII Historical Fiction novel, set during 1944-1945 and even up to 1946. It has two MC’s, Leon and Riker. Leon is a Jewish man who is thrown into the Holocaust, and Riker is an SS Lieutenant who finds out about the “Final Solution”, AKA the Holocaust, and devotes everything he has to saving Jews and other innocent people. There are many, various messages, both good and bad. Like love yet loss, grace yet guilt, hatred, mercy, abandonment yet acceptance, healing, and grief. But more than anything, the main message is Forgiveness. God’s forgiveness, forgiving others, and, as it seems to be so overlooked, the importance of forgiving ourselves. But simply put, it’s a Novel about the Holocaust and forgiveness. 🙂

And here’s the new aesthetic FOR Freedom’s Fire. 😉
@freedomwriter76 – Thanks! XD
LOL I wish I could do that but I’m a horrible multitasker. WHOA your WIP sounds amazing! I love that message. 🧡 WWII fiction is something I enjoy reading. (Have you ever read The Book Thief? Or The Hiding Place?) What got you interested in writing about that time period? (And you know what’s really a coincidence? I just went to a friend’s play today that was about WWII!)

@lorelei-writer. Aww, thank you! <3 (for the collage and WIP. XD)
I have not read The Book Thief, although I DO have it on hold at my library. I have read most of the Hiding Place, but I haven’t yet finished the book. *face-palms* I need to! The one I have read that I really loved was Unbroken, about Louis Zamperini. 😉
Hmm…interested in writing WWII fiction? I was already writing American Revolution, but I would say watching the cartoon The Long Long Holiday made me suddenly fall in love with learning about WWII, and, since that show took place in WWII France, that’s where my first WWII novel idea, Allies and Lies, took place. (I’m still planning on writing that novel. It’s just on backburner for now and it’s changed a lot. XD) Now, my main WIP, of course, takes place in WWII Germany. But I guess that cartoon was the reason. XP I still watch that cartoon, lol. 😉 (That is a coincidence! A play about WWII!? THAT IS EPIC!!!! If it doesn’t get cancelled, I’m going to be going to a WWII battle reenactment in October for my birthday. 😉 I went last year too, but I don’t care, lol. XD If we can get it to work out, I’ll be wearing a WWII nurse uniform costume. Get into the moment, y’know? *wink*)
Y’alls mood boards/collages are SO pretty!! How do y’all make them? (i’m so new to this chat and I didn’t really read all nine pages of this so if the question has been answered and asked before, sorry!)

If hours don't turn into days@lrose5 Aw haha nah you just have to make a lot of them. I made a lot of them during Zoom sessions and classes, lol, and haven’t made any recently. Probably won’t take you two years if you just practice a lot.
