      @linus-smallprint ooof Ender’s Game.

      Good example for a dystopian writer, horribly graphic writing (and also the occasional curse words? I remember there being Marvel-level cursing but not much worse).

      Luckily I’m not the kind who’s perturbed by violence in writing. Watching it would be a different story, but reading that kind of thing really doesn’t affect me one way or the other.

       

      But there is NO FLIPPIN’ WAY I would give that book to nine-year-olds lol

      Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

        Hey, thank you so much for this!

        Yes, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do, and I’m so glad you can see that! Makes me so happy!!!

          Look, if anyone picks up the series at book two, they deserve to be confused. *shrug*

          If there’s any recap I’ll put a little in the Blurb on the back. But otherwise, what’s here is what they get.

           

          Good Grief! Book two for nine year olds! NO WAY! It is so dark!

           

          I’m a little torn. I think most of the conversation you have is alright. Josephs’s questions flow naturally, and Noah takes the time to respond. However, the whole bit about free will and God’s sovereign choice doesn’t flow as well.

          Okay, that would be the only part I would cut.

           

          (Unless I missed something again, like how I missed that Joseph was eating porridge for breakfast and my mind defaulted to a bowl full of yogurt-covered pretzels in milk instead. (My mind was in a weird place then))

          WHAT? That doesn’t even fit with the period!!!

           

          Okay, I can add a little more outside description.

           

          Are there any rivers that flow through here? Also, did you use Inkarnate?

          Yes, I did. I didn’t detail any rivers because they are smaller ones and probably wouldn’t be seen from the bird’s eye view I have.

           

          Also, Do you want me to wait for you to reply before posting new section, or should I just keep posting one or two every day?

            I have a friend with the same mindset. Alcatraz Smeadry will probably approve heartily!

            WHAT? That doesn’t even fit with the period!!!

            Like I said, my mind was in a weird place. Specifically in the place of a reader snacking on some yogurt-covered pretzels.

            Ah, okay.

            You can post every couple of days. I can go over a couple of sections at one, and no need to keep everyone else waiting for my sake.

              Ew.

              Honestly, I have always found those things rather nasty. They taste like artificial sweetener. Or at least the ones I’ve had always do.

              Great then. I hope to have a new section on here every day.

              I would like to post one later today, but that doesn’t look like it’ll be happening. I may need to wait until tomorrow.
