Great first section! You did a good job of establishing the stakes and the characters’ situations. One thought I had (for you to consider) is possibly to remove the first journal entry and start off the book with Leon. It might be a stronger beginning… but it works great with the journal entry there too.

Remind me again, who is…[Read more]

@koshka @ellette-giselle

I don’t particularly enjoy heaven scenes either, but when an author takes a moment to show that God is actually with us down here, like when Aaron knew Jesus was so close and when the Maker talks to Janner at the Fane of Fire and felt the love of the Maker wrap around him at the end…that’s beautiful. It reminds us that ev…

@ellette-giselle

Well, thoughtesss…

It’s a dark before dawn thing. Maybe playing with the idea that the Empire has long, dark winters.

Fabulous armor. I love it. I’m happy done of the soldiers were saved so we can root for some of those suits of armor…. But there’s probably more bad guys in armor than otherwise.

The government is going to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oof, yeah no. I plum don’t like Victor Hugo’s writing, so I’m with you on that.

His name is Smaug and he’s a dragon.

lol, my work computer’s name is Wheatley. It was the name of a robot in a video game; he’s nice most of the time but  betrays the player character when he’s plugged into a corrupted mainframe. So I figured I’d name my computer that just in case there’s a robotic revolution or something and it…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh, haha. XD. Yeah, I think we talked about it briefly right when you were first starting it.

Leon and Julian, from the last book. (Plus Albee and Ian, but I don’t think they’re coming back . . . unless they do. That would be cool.) I have a lot of other favorites, but they’re not in the Empire, so I doubt they’ll have much of a…[Read more]

6)Prepare for major fallout to begin from the Prince dying in the last book.
*nods happily*

2)Nearly everyone we love will get hurt.
why would you ever think that?! 😢

🤣

Mostly this.

@ellette-giselle

Oh, cool! You told me a vague idea of what the story was about . . . and I’ve read a scene or two that you posted on here. It got eaten by your zombie computer, right? I guess you were able to finish it?

Oh, just reading other people’s guesses and your responses to them. Plus your trigger warning at the beginning (I already knew…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Not sure where you go that from the board, but interesting guess…………

Oh, it was a prediction that came from the general feel of the board, and the last book.

Oh, well thanks for straightening that out! I had considered it. 😂

*Bows* You’re welcome. Glad I could be of service.

Interesting. I would say a majority of my charact…

@ellette-giselle

Yes, I can see how that would be hard. XD The sequel to the Crimson Rose?

Oh boy. It looks like we’re in for . . . something. I’m starting to be concerned for your characters.

@ellette-giselle

Any ideas/thoughts/predictions?!

Not at the moment, though hybridlore made some interesting observations with the mask

@ellette-giselle

1)There will be mob fights.

2)Nearly everyone we love will get hurt.

3)Leon and Jullian’s pasts will come back to haunt them.

4)There will not be a plane crash, or a nuclear war.

5)The journal will be continued.

6)Prepare for major fallout to begin from the Prince dying in the last book.

7)Someone is going to meet Jesus,…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

First off, I love that Linus is like,”wait a month to start the next book.”

I finally convince him that I should start it sooner…….

1 month later……….

It happens.

Anyone who cringed at the writing of the last three books, (a.k.a. me) prepare to cringe more. 😭

Looking back on my own work is one of the cringiest things I have…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

It’s ok. I’m mostly teasing you. 😉

Swimming in gravel?

What book is this?

@ellette-giselle

I didn’t even do anything to you! We’re all innocent! 😂

@ellette-giselle

Of course you would.

Two can play at this game. Maybe I’ll delay the next few chapters of TCoH. 😝

@ellette-giselle

Lol.

I’m still not saying if it will even happen.

Yeah, yeah. XD Can’t be giving away spoilers before the book even starts.

@ellette-giselle

You know, y’all called gladiator fighting last time……

So you’re overdue. 😝

@ellette-giselle

I know! Who’s wearing it now!? Or is it just a throwback to Dietrich’s death and place in the story?

Uhh… there will be gladiator fighting. I feel like Leon is going to get pulled into that again. Maybe Julian too. And I might be seeing a prison cell on the bottom left… unless that’s something else.

@ellette-giselle it worked fine!!

The board is cool but I don’t have any predictions besides what I said on the last forum.
