Thank you so much! Yeah, I see. In my mind’s eye I see him standing there a moment perplexed while all the other Novak warriors chase the kids… But I didn’t make that very clear did I? 😉 I’ll work on that!
Thank you again!(and yeah, a lot of my ideas center around emotion)

I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard of it from a very trusted source that is was fantabulous.

Ok, yeah! Thanks, that probably works better, and might help limit the reader to the protagonist’s view point. Anything else? 🙂

Mila was screaming. The ropes about my wrists bit when I tried to move, holding me helpless in the blackened snow. I twisted my head to find her, but all I could see was the boot of a marauder.
More screams. I had to do something!
I could do nothing.
Tears pricked at my eyelids, but crying wouldn’t help anything. I blinked them away.
“Take me,…[Read more]

So, I don’t personally know your characters, but from life, books, and from what they did in the Bible, here are some ideas to help get those creative juices flowing.
- Fear of darkness(not the dark)
- Fear of disillusionment
- Fear of the violent man
- Fear of failing
- Fear of not measuring up
- Fear of spiders (okay, maybe not)
- Fear of…

Oh, those character struggles are very good. Your story line gives that pleasurable ache deep inside by which one knows it’s good.
Amen!

Oh, yay! I love it too! It sounds SO good! Like a book I’d read till four in the morning and have to stop at random parts to soak up every implication. Is it off the story of David?
By the by, that’s a beautiful cover/photo.

Ok, hi! This is so exciting! Anyway to make them relatable…
Have you ever noticed how personal the last verses in the Epistles are? They speak of Tituses and Demases like, wonder of wonders, they were real people. 😉 For example, II Timothy 4:13, Paul asked Timothy to bring him a cloak he left at Troas and some books and parchments. These New…[Read more]

All these premisses are thrilling!
So… Here’s Nyx’s portrait. It was fun to make and I learned quite a bit about drawing fur in the process. I’m so excited with how it turned out!

You should write a short story about it/in that setting, just ’cause it sounds so “readable”, if that makes sense. You know, the strange ground keeping people could be part of a spy ring or the guardians of a secret…. ok, my train of thought is on a detour. *Note lightbulb over head*

@godlyfantsay12
thank you! This’ll be a welcome challenge.
@anatra23 I’ve read a few of the Redwall books, namely Redwall, Mossflower, The Bellmaker, and that one about the baggers where that lord fellow falls off a cliff 😉 . I haven’t read any in a while though.
Have you read Mistmantle? My brother liked them but didn’t get hooked, while we did.

Hey, @godlyfantasy12, would you mind if I drew Nyx? And if so, does he have any particular markings etc.?

Um, that’s amazing. Once again, did Nyx SPEAK?!

Yeah, nothing I wouldn’t mind reading myself, not to mention a ten year old at our church. Especially when I’m trying to make a very Christain point about the passing of mantles. No need the have my good be evil spoken of!
Ugh, yeah, it is so irritating when a word is placed in the wrong era. I mean, some words don’t matter,…[Read more]
