Yes, I had pro for a year. I like it, but I would prefer to hand draw my own map (especially if it will appear in my book.)

I have considered drawing my own trees, mountains, etc, uploading the drawings in Inkarnet, then using the tools there to make my own map, put I never got around to it.

@stephie

Also, I love the map! I don’t know, something about maps of fantasy worlds just gets at me. *Smiles dreamily, looking back towards The Lord of the Rings* I also like the name Huntt for a town; it just seems to fit.

@ellette-giselle

I love the map!!!

Thanks, both of you! One of these days, I will actually make the up-to-date version.

@ellette-giselle

Then maybe it’s a good plan.

Well, the object doesn’t need to be heavy. It needs to leave a convincing imprint on the scene. This the fabric filled sack.

@linus-smallprint

Alan, must you do something stupid????😩

@ellette-giselle

Just met the second crow, but I’m pausing to call something.

I think it’s his mother.

Maybe.

Ooh, good theory.

@stephie

Seriously, that gave me the ugh-the-main-character-is-doing-something-stupid sinking feeling in my stomach

Same.

@ellette-giselle

*Suspenseful music plays*

Leo

Great blue stars. Leo’s teeth clenched. A tail, here, halfway home. These creeps really hard no discretion. “Good man. On Zero.”

Three.

He tapped his com unt to alert Silvia.

Two.

Silvia even with them under the pretense of taking Quincy. Her eyes were sharp, fingers twitching over her…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ty! Just the effect I was going for. Creepy, but not scary creepy. More of just otherworldly.

@whalekeeper

Thank you!! Glad you like it! : D

Ok I actually just finished it today!

@freed_and_redeemed

Smack!

Yay! I’ve been creamed. Now I have eight snowballs….

*grins a disoriented grin*

*falls back into snow fort*

Let’s see what I can do.

Also, adorable scene! I like how you showed what Leon was thinking almost exclusively by his actions. It really made me feel like I knew him.

@ellette-giselle I’m glad you like h…[Read more]

I have a fun question! I’ve already figured out my answer for my story, but I asked my friends this question and got so much traction that I wanted to post it here too. I love hearing what different people come up with. My f…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @liberty @hybridlore

Here’s your 700 (actually a little over) for the 14 snowballs y’all threw at me.

ridiculous amount of snowballs

Y’all gotta chill XD

Mostly you, Ellette😤

😆

Riker nudged the front door open, walking into the small foyer. He stepped aside to give Leon room to get inside and glanced around the…

@ellette-giselle

good. Good! I’m so glad this scene works well! “touch down Tulip!!” (Storks if you haven’t scene the movie that quite come from)

Have seen that, but it’s been a while. (5 more minutes, and then we stop!)

I’m surprised there was no comment on the Julian/Joseph conversation.
was it good? Does it fit?

Think so. It makes sense that…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

that’s what (frustratingly) keeps me from being able to say this scene doesn’t work. 

Part of my mission as an author is to get Christians to consider things they wouldn’t normally do and to think about them. Now that Alan’s joined The Faithful, we are starting to get into this. (Once I am done with this draft, I will write up a…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

So, Joseph deftly avoided contact with her, and the days dragged into eternity.

Not an easy task since they are living in the same house. No wonder it felt like an eternity.

Eric says to tell you that he is sure he’s taller than you. 

A great accomplishment.

Let’s see, he said he used proverbs, especially 31, he used Timothy, Titu…

@ellette-giselle

Awwww…

Leo

He smiled, his throat going tight as he watched the kid. He shifted Quincy to put an arm around Rory’s shoulders. “We go home, if you’re good with that. I’ll explain on the way.”

Rory didn’t outright object, so Leo took that as the agreement he needed. Silvia had taken to scanning windows. Her fingers were wrapped…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @stephie

Let’s be honest. This wasn’t surprising, was it? Rour warned you several times.

You can successfully torture your readers.

It’s part of the job.

What do you think of Alan’s logic for deciding to go back?

Just met the second crow, but I’m pausing to call something.

I think it’s his mother.

Maybe.

Maybe indeed, Ell…[Read more]

@jonas @ellette-giselle

It might help to get the first part of Group 1 (wounded, non-fighters, etc) to the river so we aren’t scrabbling to get everyone there after this side mission.

@ellette-giselle

Aw, cute scene between Joseph and Julian! I noticed a few typos, but that’s not a big deal. Only other thing is, I noticed that in Sabina’s letter someone said that the orphans need Jesus. I don’t know why, I can’t remember too many references to Him, so that stood out to me since many fantasy books use a different name for Jes…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Okay, now maybe it will let me rewrite and post.

*Rolls eyes at phone*

Leo

Twenty-eight. Twenty-five. Twenty. Leo felt his teeth grit as the boy slowly climbed down the building. Eighteen. Fifteen. Twelve. He edged back from the fall zone.

Rory reached the ground and stood on shaking legs before sliding down the wall. Poor…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Josef laughed and the next moment Rosemarie was in his arms, laughing and trying to kiss him. “Josef, you horrible rascal! You scared me half to death!”

“Papa!” Ernst shouted, leaping off the table and running to him. Josef caught his son with his free arm and hugged him. “Hello little man!”

Aww…it’s so sweet! I hope Marta…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Thanks again for the quotes! I didn’t want too many, so I put two more.

@ellette-giselle

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh, I’m bad at it, sorry
