@sarafini.
I got 4 new writing ideas between this morning and yesterday. So, now I’m up to 12 WIPs! 🤦♀️
That sounds just like me!!! I have way too many WIPs! 😂😂😂
January 26, 2023 at 4:31 pm #130179@freedomwriter76 WHO IS DYING 😭 WAIT DO I WANT TO KNOW?!?!
@lightoverdarkness6 oooh!!! Luv this ship! So they meet in the second series. As of rn im thinking it’s about 2 years or so after the events of the first series. Corvina is still struggling with her redemption and past when she meets a rogue-ish blonde thief, who immediately gets on her nerves 😏 XD but yea im thinking he steals something and she sees it and, seeing as she’s trying to be good now maybe she tries to stop him and it doesn’t go over well, not entirely sure. Either way they’re meeting isn’t on the best of terms, but he immediately is entertained/captivated by this mysterious Raven-haired girl.ha…
an endless amount XD literally. My world is as big as earth so I can make as many as I want 😂 as for how many are built/fleshed out?
ummm not many. At all. XD XD XD….
ooh here’s some questions!!
do any of you have an animal or animal character in your series or books, or have you ever thought of adding an animal into any of your books? Not necessarily a fantasy creature but it can be! Maybe just a family pet like a cat or a dog. I have Nyx obviously, and he’s also an MC.

@sarafini.
Thanks guys!
You’re very welcome!!! 💕💕💕

That’s good!!! 😁💕
I’m pretty excited about my writing! I’m trying to make myself write book 2 in the series I should be focused on but I have no ideas.
OOH, coolio!!! That sounds like fun!!! Oh, and we all understand not having any ideas…trust me, I had writer’s block last week. 😂
Anyone have any ways they go from slice of life to action adventure?
Afraid I don’t. I’m so committed to one genre I basically only stick to Historical Fiction, lol. 😂
Someone else may have some advice tho!!! 😁

@godlyfantasy12. @felicity. @lightoverdarkness6. Welp, here it is. The (unedited) charrie death…
😭💕😭💕😭💕😭💕
Their footsteps thudded on the cobblestone.
The man was on their heels.
Their own uncle sent a man after them to kill them. What kind of uncle did that!?
“Where can we go!?” Wolfgang yelled.
Reuben nodded in agreement, heart pounding in his head. “Wolfi’s right…where can we go!? We’re nowhere near the church or home.”
There was only one man and five of them. But the man had a pistol. They didn’t.
Joshua’s lips moved, and words Reuben couldn’t hear tumbled from his lips, but he knew they were prayers.
“There isn’t anywhere we can go.” Jakob replied quietly. “Is there?”
Leo shook his head, leading the way. “Nowhere safe enough…if anyone saw that man, they’d be scared into ratting us out. Besides, there’s no one we know around this area…we can’t just trust anyone.”
Reuben nodded in agreement.
There was barely anyone they could trust.
Most people…well…they didn’t exactly…like them.
“He’s getting closer.” Jakob whispered, as they all kept pushing and pumping their legs.
Reuben’s heart thudded louder, his breath heaved, and his legs ached even more. He didn’t…he didn’t know how much longer he could run.
“I…I don’t know how much longer…” Reuben trailed off, because his ankle twisted, and with a crack sound and a cry of pain, he hit the cobblestone, hard.
His ankle hurt…so, so much…but they needed to get out of here.
His brothers all fell beside him. Leo grabbed his arms, holding them. “Reuben! Reuben! Are you okay…?”
“Yeah…it-it hurts…but I-I-I’ll be okay…we have to keep going.”
Joshua slightly lifted Reuben’s left pant leg. “You twisted your ankle, Reuben…you’re not going anywhere easily…and none of us can run anymore.”
Wolfgang wrapped his arms around himself. “…Are we going to die?”
Tears coursed down Reuben’s cheeks.
They couldn’t die…he loved them too much to let them get hurt. “Guys…go. Leave me…I-I’ll be okay.”
“No,” Leo said sternly, pulling Wolfgang over, “none of us are going anywhere. We’re brothers…we stick together, no matter what happens.”
Wolfgang sat beside Reuben, and Reuben wrapped his arms around his younger brother, and Wolfgang wrapped his arms around Reuben as Leo, Joshua, and Jakob wrapped their arms around Reuben and Wolfgang, all of them holding each other.
Footsteps sounded and stopped only a few feet from them, blocking them into the alleyway, but he still stood slightly outside of the alleyway.
The uniformed man, pistol in hand…the man hired by Hans to kill them, smiled a sadistic smile. “There you are. I’ll get a very handsome reward for getting rid of you troublesome, filthy Jews…yes I will.”
Reuben closed his eyes, held onto Wolfgang tighter, and he felt his older brothers’ and Wolfgang’s arms wrap around him tighter.
They were brothers…and if they were going to go…they were going to go together.
The man laughed, and Reuben could only guess that he had raised his pistol. “Say your final prayers now, Jews.”
“NO!” Sudden footsteps sounded, and two gunshots sounded.
Reuben’s eyes leapt open, just as the man hit the ground, dead, and another figure, also dressed in a uniform, slowly sank to the ground.
Joshua let go of them and rushed forwards to the still-alive figure. “Dietrich!?”
Jakob and Wolfgang ran over, and Leo helped Reuben stand and walk over too.
Reuben sank to the ground beside the uniformed man with messy brown hair and bright blue eyes. Dietrich. Unmistakably Dietrich.
Dietrich smiled up at them. “Hey…didn’t know I’d find all of you here…”
Reuben felt more tears fall at the sight of the gunshot wound in Dietrich’s chest that oozed blood. “Dietrich…you…you’re…”
Joshua looked around. “I’ll go get a doctor!”
Joshua turned to run off, but Dietrich grabbed his leg. “No…don’t…it’s too late.”
“No, it’s not!” Leo yelled, tears coursing down his cheeks.
Dietrich slowly shook his head. “Yes…it is…but it’s okay…” He smiled, “…I figured out that God has forgiven me for what I’ve done…and I’m going to go be with him…and I’m sorry…for everything I ever did to all of you…”
“Dietrich, you’re going to make it!” Wolfgang screamed, squeezing Dietrich’s left hand, tears and rain mixing as they coursed down his cheeks.
Dietrich slowly shook his head again. “No…I’m going to heaven…but I’m sorry…for everything.”
Silent tears coursed down Reuben’s cheeks. Someone else they would lose.
They had once been so close to Dietrich…and they had drifted apart…but Reuben still didn’t want to lose him. “Don’t go…”
Dietrich turned to him and smiled. “I have to, Reuben…I gotta go…he’s ready for me…”
Tears coursing down his cheeks, Jakob fell to his knees beside Dietrich. “Why…why did you do that…?”
Dietrich smiled, looking up towards the sky as rain fell on his calm…peaceful face. And with one final, soft, fleeting breath, he whispered, “…It’s what brothers do…”
January 26, 2023 at 5:14 pm #130207@freedomwriter76 Wow!!! That was a sad scene. But a great one! Awesome how you made his redemption arc so complete!
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

No, not Dietrich! Any character deaths are sad! I have to say. 😭
January 26, 2023 at 5:19 pm #130210@freedomwriter76 I’m crying right now.
I haven’t cried yet reading any of your writings.
