Wow. That escalated quickly!

Seems like things are about to get rough for Leon and Rolf… 🥺

Why wouldn’t the slave trader just kill them instead of tying them up and everything?

@ellette-giselle

Uh oh, it doesn’t look like it’s working again. But yay, thanks! I’ll check it out!

@theshadow

Okay, good. Eh, it’s just part of his personality to me. He’s great at Warrain and leading the team, because he applies himself, and as a result doesn’t really focus on school. 😆 His skills with computers and coding will be more prominent later.

Yep! Though Sara and Cole will still carry most of the story. I believe Alec’s next ch…[Read more]

@theshadow

Is he meant to be really smart, but doesn’t necessarily care about school?

You nailed it! Is that enough description, or do you want me to try to elaborate? 😜 And don’t worry, you’re good.

Awesome, thank you! Yeah, Alec is one of my favorites. 🥰

By the way, are you planning to post a new chapter of your WIP soon? I’m looking forward…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Oh, definitely. I was just curious about the rights of Canada’s government compared to ours. They seem to be very close.

@linus-smallprint

Yeah… 😅

That’s really interesting. Crazy to realize that this really isn’t too far off from what is happening in real life today.

In Canada, do you have the same guaranteed rights as in the US’s Constitution? I’m assuming it’s very similar. Freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc.?

Oh yeah, there…[Read more]

Esther, I also think it’s so cool how you write about small everyday struggles. It’s hard to find beauty in the mundane, when it seems the same day after day.

But in your writing, you can make even the everyday struggles, the repeating tasks beautiful, and everything you write has a message, and I think it’s so cool!!!! And I know God will use you <33

@esther-c

Awww! Esther!!! That means literally so so SO much to me!!

I appreciate you so much, you’re amazing 🥺🥺💜💜💜💜

I never really thought about it that way!! But that makes a lot of sense!!

Honestly I’ve struggled a lot with the way that I just go to the hard things that need to be talked about…people like my parents have said that my…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Awesome, thank you!

@ellette-giselle

Yeah… 😝 Oopsy. Not to mention, the end of Chapter 13 kind of makes it seem like he’s unsure about what he does. Which maybe he is. I have to solidify his arc soon xD.

Hey, that is the best way to write. Keep at it!

I’ll try! 🫡

@koshka

My warning wouldn’t be that it’s dark or violent, but that you don’t want to even accidentally imply it’s okay. You don’t want to give your reader an idea, or thought pattern they didn’t have, but you do want to reach for a kid who’s been there, or is there, and needs that lifeline. That they are loved, that they can make it with God’s he…

@keilah-h

Arcane and Alder are good name switches! I like them. Also, are you going to keep the Payne and Pythonos references? I think you should; when you publish your book people will be like “oh, this is an expansion on that universe.”

I think I will keep the Payne/Pythonos. I agree, it would be cool!!!!

Thanks, they fit really well and I lik…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Well, I’m glad it comes through! I don’t even know what I’m doing… I just pray and try to picture it.

Okay, good. I was trying to put foreshadowing and hints in the chapters before so that it’d all make sense, but since the story was still forming at some stages (Chapter 4, I think, the one where Alec comes home for dinner, n…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Aw, Ellette, I don’t even really know what to say. I’m so, so glad you like it! Thank you for all the encouragement!

I want this made into a MOVIE!!

Every author’s not-so-secret dream xD

Yeah, poor Everett. It’d be a challenge for sure.

So… was it obvious before this chapter what Alec did for his job? Do you feel like you have…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Of course!! 🥰 I’m glad it’s all coming together so quickly!

Yep xD No problem.

Aw, so glad I could help! 💕💕

@hybridlore

Thank you so much!!!!

I fixed the spelling!! Thanks for catching that XD
I appreciate you so so SO much, girl <3

@savannah_grace2009

It looks great, Sara! I didn’t read the sixth story, but I enjoyed the other new ones. The order seemed to work pretty well, and I thought it was great that you added an introduction to explain the stories before jumping in. Just one note–the afterword was spelled “afterward” in the doc. Otherwise, I don’t really have any big…[Read more]

@koshka @ellette-giselle @hybridlore @theducktator @keilah-h @theshadow @anyone-else

Thank you everyone for your comments on the doc!!

The reason I haven’t added anything new is because I moved it all to Reedsy. Reedsy will professionally typeset it all, and have a more professional look to it, and I like Reedsy better for writing.

The point of…[Read more]

@raxforge

Yeah, it hasn’t been working right for a few days now. But without Kathleen around to fix it, I’m not sure if it will get better. 😕

@ellette-giselle

KP is breaking on my phone. I got emailed for that but when I clicked on it, it did not show your post. Now I’m on my laptop, and somehow it shows it now. 🤔

“What? What did I do?” *in very innocent voice.*

Only killed off at least four pretty important characters in only two books. (Prince guy, Turin, Aaron, Adrian.) Nearly kill…[Read more]
