So, in answer to all the questions:

the laptop did an un-authorized update. So while I hit save on all my documents, I still had them minimized instead of fully closed. Normally it tells me about the update and offers a time. I then shut everything fully down, make sure it’s…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Umm… Perehapes he was a slave, or at least treated like one, earlier in his life, along with his brothers and cousins. They escaped, and tired to help other slaves.

🤨

I wrote like two paragraphs of his backstory.

This is Omar we’re talking about.

Have you read the section where he introduces himself to Leon??

Okay l…[Read more]

my loyal subjects, I beg pardon.

Tragedy has struck.

The dragon laptop ate LOS for breakfast! 😱

I was able to recover most of it, but alas I must be away to other duties.

No new sections until Monday. 😭

🐲

@linus-smallprint

Oh my word.

😂

@koshka

he was just messed up. Period.

Thankfully, he’s less messed up now.

He’s a very purpose driven person. Take away his purpose, and he’s got nothing left.

@koshka

Wow!! You did catch it!

That’s impressive.

that would be about the time. He had this almost horrifying relief that he hadn’t been killed, he didn’t know what on earth to do with Leon’s sacrifice and felt bound to help him in some sort of payment, but once Leon was on the road to recovery there was nothing left for him.

@koshka

No prob!!

Rory

Rory watched in stunned silence as the woman raced about, Leo trailing her and trying to catch things she knocked over in her haste. She was rattling on about something, but Rory was having a hard time tracking. It wasn’t that he was unable to take in her words… he most certainly was, along with every object and…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Haha, well, you and everyone else. (except Linus. He says he saw it coming, and I’m wondering if he caught on to something, or has read enough of my stuff that he guessed it was something I would do. 😂)

 

Is Leon going to heal now that this new slave master is kinder to them and won’t make him work as hard as he did?

🤷🏼‍♀️

There i…[Read more]

@koshka

I also liked the way Leon realizes he’s dying, and that he doesn’t have much time left to work here. The urgency that comes over his actions was real to me.

Oh yeah, I see that. There definitely is an urgency.

And then the whole “you’re crazy but I still kinda admire your attitude” thing was funny, but unfortunately real.

🤣 I like Albe…[Read more]

@liberty

I really like him, and he’s very intriguing. He sounds like a character that could demand an entire book of his own! He reminds me of the monks who bought Squanto.

I was literally thinking, “This guy needs his own book!” while I was editing! 🤣

Oh wow, that’s brutal. But those are the stories I love best!! Stories of REAL s…[Read more]

@koshka

Wow!!!

*sits there and reads with mouth open* I had no idea I did all that!!

BUT ACTUALLY

*clears throat and nods* of course of course… it’s all with the flows of literary design and technique. 😂

It’s actually really cool seeing you lay it out like that, because I had no idea I had done that.

@linus-smallprint

You know what, I was thinking that while I was editing yesterday morning!! 😂

When I hear this name, I think of an old, kindly grandfather.

Um…… you’re off by like 40 years.

I would peg this guy in his late 30s. Maybe early 40s.

It wasn’t too long ago that he was still physically fighting the slave trade, and he was a…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

No soup…….?

*paces around room. Tries to understand why that’s funny. Knows that once it is explained I will remember why it was funny*

@freed_and_redeemed

YAY!!! SCENE!!!

Oh dear. Poor Riker…….. This is a bit of a fix.

@liberty

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO READ THIS SECTION!!!!!!!!!

I’m so happy! I posted it and I was like, “Liberty’s gonna love this!!!”

Haha!!! I’m so glad I threw you a loop!!

Good! I’m glad you were scared for him! 😂

I’m so HAPPY!!!!!!!

So, this is really cazy because I never thought this scene was one of my best!!…[Read more]

@koshka

Oh my word!! 😂

Huh, this was never one of my best scenes in my mind. That’s funny how that does that. 🤣

Also, Ian’s conversion was one of my favorites to date for a number of reasons.

Ooooo!!! TELL ME!!

@linus-smallprint

I’m a bit missy with the point of view in there,

Messy…. I believe.

Yes. I feel like correcting people’s grammar today.

Maybe I’ve been writing too many Nazi POVs.

@hybridlore

Okay, that’s fair. I can see where the interest is coming from. 😂

@koshka

Ahhh!!!

Where did you come from?!?! 😂

I wrote a chapter worthy of koshka comments!!!! 🥳

haha! I’m glad you didn’t see him coming.

Ooo, I’m glad you liked it.

I wonder what is hooking everyone so much about this section?! Why do y’all like it so much? 😂

@hybridlore

Lololol.

Huh, that’s funny. I guess there is a sort of connection there.

I just find the whole idea of his story interesting, and the different ways he has gone about fighting the slave-trade.
