What is Jonathan’s arc supposed to be?

@ellette-giselle

He’s slowly softening to the rebels, and becoming curious about their strength and hope. Also, he apologized.

I just watched Animation vs. Minecraft, and it was super wholesome, I loved it

…And here I am, praising the game and not talking about Alan Becker. XD I still haven’t watched. Next chance I get, probably this week.

I think some YouTubers make Minecraft way too loud and showy. My brothers watch competitive YouTubers and I’ve never caught on to that. The game by itself is much more impactful.

Minecraft is the kind of thing I never thought I’d enjoy. But one day it clicked. I think the combination of the music and graphics have the same uncanny feel as old memories. Pieces of the world make sense, but much of it is random and silent. It’s such a strange, melancholic feeling.

Hey, I was right.

Good chapters. Jonathan’s arc is starting to turn around, yay! 😁 I liked the way you did that, and the ending of the last chapter.

@the_lost-journal

Writers can insert two sides of themselves into that conversation and it still tracks. XD

@elishavet-pidyon

I appreciate the thoughts! I hadn’t thought much about items before – although specific things come to mind. My goal is to make this character less of a person to mourn for, and more of a person to enjoy reading about. *Bows and offers you a jar of glitter to poof yourself back home if needed*

@ellette-giselle

All good things, hopefully?

I liked these two chapters. Amber handled Jonathan very well, and I’m excited to see him have the conversation with Michael. I also want to know how their mission goes.

Why do I feel like this is the part where you might kill someone off?

Hey! I’m doing pretty good, how are you?

No worries, I know the end of the school year is chaotic. 😂 I’ll add you to the new doc!

Thanks! Glad you like him. 😅 He’s one of my favorites too.

Hey guys, I’ve been thinking. How do you encourage a reader to like a character who is already dead? And with minimal flashbacks? And and without being boringly sad? I have a few ideas, but this has been a challenge so far and I was wondering what everyone else thinks.

@rae

Gotcha.

Alright, here is my feedback!

~ Which character(s) did you find the most compelling/relatable/believable and why?

You know Tyn and Cyrus were my favorites from the previous book. In this book, I enjoyed James and Eric (post-memory wipe), both for their enthusiasm. Iskyagus was fun as well for the brief moment he was there.

I like Evan, he’s probably my favorite. The other guys sort of blend together a little for me (that might just be a me thing though.) Amber is fun too.

@ellette-giselle

Exactly.

@ellette-giselle

Yikes. Poor Jonathan.

@rae

Thanks for the update!! I’ll keep praying!

How have you been feeling?

@ellette-giselle

Good chapters!

Amber and James both have tough backstories…

Be careful out there, fellow writers 👀😂
