Thanks. I might!

@hybridlore

I know!!!!!! I’m a terrible author!!! 😱😭

Wait a sec…… isn’t it my goal to make the reader miserable? 😈🤣

I promise to send the next section today. Right now. I’m running final edits this very moment.

@linus-smallprint

Also, this is ‘As you know’ dialogue. Leon is telling Julian something he already knows in order to inform the reader.

is that actually bad though? I haven’t done it often, and I don’t see much of another way to get that info across. Plus, I’ve used “as you know” sentences before in conversation just to help listeners mak…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I was trying, but I think I’m out of time today. I almost had it done too. 😥

@keilah-h

dang that’s dark

yeah, well that’s reality for ya.

It seems like they suddenly have a lot more control over the Empire than they appear to.

Uh yeah. They’ve got a pretty strong hold now. Not only are they controlling the Empire’s ruler by fear of the gods, but they’ve got him personally motivated to avenge his cousin and set his kingd…[Read more]

@keilah-h

perhaps…

more like a knitted hat.

if you look closely at what the prince said, it leads to the suggestion that he was killed by the priests because he got upset at them for killing his son.

what do you think of Leon’s backstory?

@hybridlore

Julian and Leon are now in the bottom of the arena.

That doesn’t mean they’ll fight.

@theshadow @theducktator

thx for praying! It ended up being warmer than predicted, plus it sprinkled for five minutes then got sunny. One single (not ours) capsized, but the guy got back in and finished the race. Last, I think, but he finished.

One of our boats got second in a race, not sure about the others. This was the first time those…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Good section. The new prince’s beliefs make more sense now.

Yeah, he’s a character you almost feel bad for.

 

And we got to find out Leon’s backstory!!

I thought you’d like that.

Does him getting angry when Julian was all excited about him being the White Knight in the last book make sense now?

Did any of it surprise you…[Read more]

I’m just gonna say it and the banish myself from this topic

@theducktator

My dad says that there are a lot of generations skipped in those genealogies, and that they only recorded the more important people, so that’s why he doesn’t think that they are a very accurate way to calculate the age of humanity.

The Bible doesn’t say ‘and there were man…[Read more]

Ugh! I posted two hours ago, but KP ate it!

NEXT SECTION!

Extra long to make up for yesterday.

 It was several hours later that the sound of steps echoed in the hall outside. Julian and Leon stood as the door opened.

The guar…

Prayers for the race of the Connecticut River today, for me, my crew (CLCR), and all the other rowers participating.

Weather is upper 40’s, a little chilly, and it might rain so we do have a possibility of hypothermia on the water if people don’t dress right. Plus it’s a river, and if anyone knows the Connecticut river, a very dirty one, so…[Read more]

I probably won’t be able to rp today until late this afternoon fyi. I have a 1k race to cox and row in on the Connecticut River today, so I’ll be killing my lungs in stead of rping! 😀

@freed_and_redeemed      @hybridlore     @koshka     @keilah-h       @elishavet-pidyon       @linus-smallprint

no section today.

Super busy.

Sorry!

@hybridlore

maybe.

super busy.

trying to.

@whalekeeper

You can do it! I would love to see it when it’s done, if you want to share, and if that helps give motive.

(But I totally get what you mean. I have a drawing I’ve been slowly working on, off and on, for about a year. All I have left are her feet and half her hair, but it’s still sitting on my desk, unfinished.)

@rae

Girl! That is so beautiful. I love it. The colors make a lot of sense. The moon is lovely, as are the leaves and his expression, in my opinion. I feel like I can really envision him now. My mental image has been edited. 😀 Thank you for sharing!

@the_lost-journal @to-whom-it-may-concern

I’m gonna say that the wall on Gabriel’s side is like the rest, while on Barnes’s side it had that paper texture since Whaley said it was magic.

The Protector—Gabriel

Gabriel punched the wall again in frustration when he heard no reply from Barnes. It hurt, but he didn’t really care. Even from the…[Read more]
