Hmm, I’m not sure.
I think we have close to 100 pages left.
No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.
Oh, okay. Out of how many pages total?
And are these Word/Docs pages, or like actual book pages?

I don’t know. You see, because I split Leon and Julian’s story, this book got to 1200+ book pages, so I’m going to cut it in half, but it’s still one full book on the Word Document. I think we only have about 100 Word Doc pages left before the place I planned to split the book, but I could be mistaken.

Ohhhh, okay. Wow, that is a longgg book. XD"Don't shine so that others can see you. Shine so that through you, others can see Him." ~ C. S.
@ellette-giselle wow! What a section. Between Julian’s encounter and Leon’s torture, this was a lot.
Is Leon gonna die or will his life be spared? (even if only for a little while longer)

Yeah. A friend told me to split it or else he’ll wait to read it when he’s in solitary confinement. 😂
Yeah! I’m glad you mentioned Julian. Most of the focus seems to be on Leon. I wonder why………… 🤔🤣
Do you think I’m really gonna tell you that?

I’ve tried. I think she enjoys tormenting us 😂

@hybridlore lol
@ellette-giselle well it’s cause Leon’s being whipped and will probably die.But I mean like we should be used to that by now. Julian helping Rosalind is novel and thus should get attention.

Yep that’s true.
YES!! Thank you! It is!
If you can pause a moment in your sorrow over Leon, what did you think of the scene with Julian and Rosalind?
No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.
To be honest, I kind of guessed she was going to be a prostitute, so Julian’s reaction seemed a little much (especially to seeing her bare shoulder or whatever lol.) But then I reminded myself that it was different back then, so it made sense.
I would like to see her become a bigger part of the story, unless that doesn’t work at all. Like instead of Julian just helping her the one time, have him come back to help her or have other encounters with her so she doesn’t just disappear. (Although, if you’re not planning at all to make them end up together, that could be kind of weird.) Or maybe adding in a scene where he sees her before that, but she ignored him, or something like that. If he travels that way often, he might know the establishment that she works at, and has seen people leaving it before. I don’t know, it would be cool to get a bit more detail instead of having her just pop out of nowhere.
Since she knew about them, it seems that they’re developing quite the reputation. And I’m interested to know what will happen with the priests.
(I forgot about most of this after Leon’s scene, or at least, it was overshadowed. So sorry if it seems like a bunch of opinions coming from nowhere.)

No problem. I guessed I’d get your attention with the second scene rather then the first. 😂
Well, I mentioned that Julian didn’t ever go down there, so his reputation got around through gossip rather then his own words.
She will become a part of the church, but she and Julian will not really have any scenes together. 1, it’s not good because they are both single and the Bible actually talks about single young men counseling and ministering to single young women and says it’s not good. 2. it would have been considered highly inappropriate in those days, and would have shed a bad light on him and the Gospel which he represents.
Also, the shock he has fits with the time as well as just general instinct. Young men should flee prostitutes, so there would be that Biblical recoil. As for the clothing, anything above a girl’s shins and elbows was reserved for her husband alone. So, to have a girl in the off-the-shoulders knee-length dress would be for us like a girl in her underclothes. So it makes sense.

Yep lol.
Yeah, that makes sense. I couldn’t remember if it was an area he went through often or not.
Gotcha. Yeah, I get that. I was wondering if she might become a love interest for Julian, but if not, it’s probably better not to involve her too much.

@hybridlore @ellette-giselle honestly I didn’t see her as a love interest for him. It just didn’t make sense to me. So yeah, having a bunch of scenes of them interacting and then saying “they’re not meant to be a thing” would be weird.

@keilah-h   @hybridlore
Exactly. She is not a love interest.
Also, another reason her and julian interacting a lot wouldn’t be a good idea is because she has not had good involvment with men so she is really, really raw in that area and needs extra space.

@ellette-giselle exactly what I thought too tbh
