Oh, I almost forgot!
That section you just read has some HUGE changes for Joseph. What are your thoughts on where he has just arrived spiritually? Any thoughts on the connections he’s starting to make and the fact that he’s seeing the truth?

January 2, 2025 at 12:46 pm #193445Okay, why is that? Was it just because that seemed logical, or because you thought I was above killing a girl, (I’ll have you know I’m not. lololololol) or because Amelia brought up wanting a child in her letter to Sabina? If I struck that part of the letter, would you have been caught off guard?
I think it was a combination fo the letter and how Amelia was protesting at the beginning that she was not having plague symptoms.
Btw, did his motivations seem realistic?
Thnk so. I think this could work better if we actually see this being a problem for the empire. What if there were signs of people hoping in God being harder to control?

The way he makes connections is good. I have had similar experiences with some of my own struggles with my own sin. So yes, this does make sense why he goes from tormented to encourager.
By the way, I like this book more than the first. Joseph feels more real and relatable to me than Aaron.

hmm. Okay, do you think I should take out that part in the letter? Or should I just leave it and let the reader be happy that they guessed a plot twist or else shocked that they didn’t see it.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s feeling at the end of the line and then it all clicks. lol. Glad it makes sense.

ack! You’re the second person to say that!
Hmm, Aaron feels more real to me, but that might be because he and I have a far similar personality. That’s funny that people are liking Joseph better! lol. However, Joseph wouldn’t be the same in the readers eyes without book 1.
*shrug* Idk, Aaron will always be special to me, but I’m a strange person… and we’re really alike… so I guess he might be a strange character. lol.

One more thing I should mention. Another reason I saw this is because I took a break between when Amelia first starts feeling unwell and when she screams she has the plague. If I had continued, it wouldn’t have occurred to me that she could be pregnant. I think it is fine. And when she did think she had the plague, I thought my suspicions were wrong. So leave it in.

Joseph getting discouraged because he is comparing himself to others is something that is quite relatable to me, so I think that is part of why I’ve connected to him more.
Okay. I’m going to see if I can get another section of yours read today!

Okay then, I’ll just leave it.

huh. Interesting. That’s not really anything I’ve had a hard time with, so I find it harder to connect I guess. lol
I can’t wait to hear more feedback!

January 6, 2025 at 9:45 am #193825You still willing to do those questions?
I’m walking an odd line here…….. I don’t want to pester, but you told me to remind you, so I don’t know what to do! 😂
If you don’t want to then no problem at all!

January 6, 2025 at 9:47 am #193827@ellette-giselle I do, I just keep procrastinating cause that’s me. lol.
Remind me what page they’re on, and I’ll do it when I don’t have animation work to do. Which might be around 2 today when my brother has tutoring. But I don’t know.
Either way, I’ll do it today!
