Haha, thank you!!! I’m hoping to post a couple more chapters (maybe tomorrow or the next day), so maybe you’ll get to see more of him 😉 Not sure how good they are, though lol. Yeah, fire powers definitely fit him better!!! And THANK YOU! I liked the soft colors:)

Aw, thanks, and *gasps* I love love love those quotes so much!!! T…[Read more]

@issawriter7

Thank you!!! *smiles super hard* Aww, that means the absolute WORLD to hear that!!! It’s just so amazing that my characters have fans, like, WOW!!! Yeah, I thought fire powers fit him well (fun fact: Deek originally had shapeshifting powers 😉 ) and just a huge thank you for saying that!! WOO-HOO!! And of course!! I thought about…[Read more]

@issawriter7

YAS, he does!!! Which is dangerous/chaotic/awesome all at the same time!!! XD I thought it was the best power that fit his ‘fiery’ personality. And THANK YOU SO MUCH!!:) I’m so glad you like him!!! I was so nervous that Deek would be an unlikable character, so it’s been so great to see he has so many fans! 😉 (Also, I love the new…[Read more]

@Abigail-m

Aww, thank you!! And, likewise, I’m definitely a hardcore The Snow Warrior fan (and can’t wait to write a huge review for it when it’s a bestseller) 😉 I’m glad to hear that I’ve encouraged you!! I honestly love your story idea and love hearing absolutely anything about it!!

*gasps one thousand times* *smashes the all caps button* THAT…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl

Oh my GOODNESS, Katherine!!! That is pure amazing-ness!!! Thank you x 1,000 for making that, because that fits Deek so well!! And it just means the absolute world to me that other people like my characters and want to make things inspired by them!! *smiles super hard* And I’d LOVE to see more Deek-inspired things!! Thank you sooo…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Thank you!! I’m glad you liked them, especially since I need to get better at writing character summaries… *sighs* Alana is definitely one of my favorites, and thank you for saying that! I thought her being a reindeer shepherdess helped her stand out more, and yes, I love the sisterly relationship between her and Caira, because Alana…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Thank you! Honestly, autumn & winter are two of my favorite seasons, so I just included them as the primary seasons for Aldova. And yes, you can definitely go there, as long as you have a portal, a sword, and a very warm cloak. Oh, and a map–you might get lost, because it’s pretty huge.

Aw, thanks! *bows* Writing always has two…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Of course! And thank you so much! You’ve inspired me to work hard on my current novel, and given me the thought of possibly writing a Biblical fiction someday! 🙂 Aw, I could definitely see why Paul would be your favorite (though, I have to admit that all of them sound amazing)! And Luke as well! Haha, those do sound like funny…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Oh, good! It’s so weird sometimes *shakes head* Hopefully this one won’t disappear this time! Aw, thank you! Yeah, it’s definitely funny/sweet-not-so-sweet about Caira using her powers on him… it’s amusing to write them bickering because I know exactly what’s going to happen in the future 😉 Thank you! That makes me happy to…[Read more]

So I wanted to monologue talk a little more about my charries. This time, a few that I don’t normally talk about:

The first one is Alana Hargreaves. Like Newton, Alana has two introductions: one in Ch.~3, and one in Ch.~6, when she joins the group officially. She’s around 14-15 years old, has slightly darker skin (because she’s native to a diff…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Girl, your characters sound amazing!! It’s always a treat to read about them, because I just think it’s so unique and fantastic that you’re writing Biblical fiction. That’s a certain genre I wouldn’t mind trying someday. And I just love TAS so much!! 😀 Do you have a favorite among them?

@abigail-m

Yes! Agreed!:) And I love those reactions (especially Anton’s) XD My characters live in a cold climate, too, though it isn’t as much as Birch Woods. Mostly, it’s like a never-ending cycle between autumn and winter, which is why everybody wears cloaks and warm clothing all the time. You described that perfectly! Writing is such a…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl

Hey, so you were looking for things that reminded me of Deek for the ‘surprise’, right? I just thought of another thing: fire! He has fire powers, so fire definitely reminds me of him! I don’t know if this helps, but I just thought I’d add to my earlier post! 🙂

@mkfairygirl

YES! Of course I do! And *gasps* it sounds AMAZING! Seriously, it sounds like my kind of story already (I’m getting a slight medieval feeling, I love the fact that the countries are at war, and magic is just so neat!) *tries really hard not to fangirl but does anyway* I love it so much, and thanks for sharing it with me! 😀

Ah, me…[Read more]

@abigail-m

I also realized I didn’t comment about your illustrations, either! *gasps* Those sound so amazing!! And thank you for doing so many!! I’m seriously internally screaming about wanting to see them!! 😀 😀 😀 Thank you for bringing my characters to life!! I can’t wait to see them… *takes deep breath* Hopefully you can transfer them…[Read more]

@abigail-m

I think it sounds neat to have that cold of weather! I wish we had more snow here, but unfortunately, we don’t. Maybe that’s why I write about cold weather all the time:) Agreed! Winter is so magical and so full of potential, and, in my opinion, so much more interesting than summer. I’m glad we’re both including winter elements in our…[Read more]

@abigail-m

It seems my device is acting weird for the *looks up at ceiling and thinks* 1,000th time now. Sorry my replies aren’t showing up… you could check my profile and see it if you didn’t get it otherwise!:)

@abigail-m

Ah, okay! I usually edit posts after I submit them, and then they disappear… It’s strange. Yes! That should definitely be a catchphrase for all writers:) And yes, she does–multiple times, I’m sure–in addition to their constant, never-ending arguing. *glares at them both* When are you two ever going to get along? *shakes head* Oh…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl

Oooh, looks great!!! Amazing job, @issawriter7!:)

@abigail-m

I just realized I never answered your questions about the confession scene! *facepalms* Sorry about that. After Newton splits up with the group (because he’s embarrassed after confessing his feelings to Caira), Caira goes off on her own to find him, and then ends up apologizing to him for overreacting and yelling at him. She then…[Read more]
