why Nico left, where is the baby from the prologue, who are the two different groups here. I know you have hinted at it a little in the prologue, but I’d still like more back story and more info. I tend to be a little more like Tolkine in writing, as in, I have a backstory for everyone, and most of the time, %60 percent of the b…

@ellette-giselle

I do have one question.

What is the plot of your story (feel free to share spoilers, I don’t mind)?

How long is your novel going to be?

I have one more chapter after this one that is ready for critiques, and then I have to continue working on revisions until it’s ready for more detailed critiques.

@ellette-giselle

Yes, I do!  (I have about 36K words) However, I’m in the middle of a big  revision, so the chapters won’t really make sense. Though I do have the next chapter that I *think* should be done.

Chapter 1

Strong hands grabbed her shoulders, trying to rip her away.

But Sef wouldn’t let go.

What outer plot is your protagonist/s dealing with?

*casually looks up what an outer plot is* I really need to learn more writing terms!! 😬😬😬

If you were plopped into your project’s universe, would the characters love you or hate you? Why?

I honestly don’t know! They probably wouldn’t even notice me…I tend to think of myself as annoying X…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yeah, maybe take Puddleglum *clears throat* I mean, that other writing coach, with a grain of salt. Scratch that, maybe a pillar of salt. lol.

🤣

 However, I will say that there is something to be learned from everyone. So, try to see the gold in the sand on what he’s saying. It might be something about dialogue, or description, or…

I have mostly positive things to say actually lol! The way I phrased that did sound a bit scary, sorry!

You’re good…I also tend to overthink a lot and assume the worst in situations 😂

I’m excited to hear your thoughts!

@ellette-giselle

I don’t have time right now to look through all your new stuff, but I will get to it eventually!

@ellette-giselle

Oh I love what you did in the example. Perfect. I get so caught up in making sure the info that is needed is there, that I think I lost a little depth with the story. Whoops. I haven’t ever done Historical fiction before, so I’m a little stressed about keeping things accurate to history. I am surrounded by books on Rome , rom…

@highscribeofaetherium @ellette-giselle

Yeah…oops!

I fixed that in the platform I write on (it’s called Reedsy), thank you for catching that!

@ellette

The reason that I accidently changed that to Selena is because I changed that section a LOT. I just came up with the idea to have their names be changed recently, because when you turn to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Do you have any thoughts on the Prologue?

A little background information…

this is an allegory of spiritual warfare and the lies that we believe about ourselves, and how that affects our lives.

I’m not going to info dump everything right now cuz that would be a LOT! But I will answer any questions as you have them!

@highscribeofaetherium

GIRL 😭

That’s so sweet of you. I would be honored 😭❤️

Okay!!! In the post above (where I answered Jonas)  I posted the proposed acknowledgements page with your guys’ names in it!!!

“Yes, the Fossers live there,” replied Thaddeus.

He’s hiding something. He is most certainly hiding something. “Were you going to the Catacombs?” demanded Marcus.

“What business would I have there at this hour?” asked the boy, innocently.

“That’s what I would like to know,” replied Marcus.

“Why would I ever go there when it…

@jonas

That’s so great! I know you were having some hard times recently, and it’s good to hear that you’re doing better!

Yeah…spiritual warfare is a real thing!!!!!!!! But now I can see that God is always fighting for me, and I’m never alone!!!

I didn’t feel like that at all! There was a point when I wasn’t able to keep up, but that was just…

Would it be alright if we did it through Pinterest?

I tried messaging you once…but my account is weird…it won’t let me message people because of my age! I can make a fake account so that it will finally let me do normal stuff xD…[Read more]

@acancello

The Chat Chat’s being weird…so I’ll just tell you here!

Hey dont worry about it! I always enjoy reading them 🙂

You read all those?!?!?

That’s okay! Please, please, let me know when you get it published!

I get it if you’re not comfortable sharing thi…[Read more]
