Great section!! I think you pulled it off. It doesn’t feel too odd or confusing. We are told when the time is passing by, and given a few details, and then the winter is over.

😂😂😂 Talk about a rude awakening!

I’m interested in Leon’s backstory more now. He seems to be hidi…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Well, your moodboards did show that.

@ellette-giselle

Well, I’m guessing someone is going to get thrown into a colosseum. You have five guys there…some of them are bound to get hurt…or killed. It just has to happen.

@ellette-giselle

Ahhh!!! I remember now! Thanks for showing that verse to me. I’m all caught up. Finally. I’m hoping not to get behind in the future because then you have to read a lot more!!!

@ellette-giselle

It looks like we’ll be at a church training thing this Saturday, so I probably won’t be able to join. That said, you’re welcome to send an email link, and if I happen to be free I’ll bounce on.

@ellette-giselle

“Why? Who’s going to read it?”

Wasn’t Julien journaling as well? Maybe he should say something else?

Leon was watching Julian with astonishment. Never had he heard him give such strong and quick responses in an argument like this.

This is by far the most interesting part I’ve read!!!! I love it!

Julian lunged and grabbed the stu…

That section from Aelic reminds me so much of the “Winter King”! So far, I think his salvation story was the best! Well, there weren’t that many details concerning Roland and the others… anyway, that’s what I think.

@ellette-giselle

So, I’m assuming Roland lives with Rolf’s family?

@ellette-giselle

Yeah, it’s so weird because basically all they’re getting is the character’s personality and description in-book . . . also moodboards, which probably influenced it a lot xD But still, it’s cool seeing other people’s imaginations on paper.

@ellette-giselle

Right. Just make sure to give the readers some regular scenes too, so that there’s a blend between time jumps and regular speed. But you’ve already done this in the sections we’ve read, so just keep it up. 😜

@ellette-giselle

I imagine her with darker eyes and probably looking a little younger, but you did pretty well. 😁

@ellette-giselle

Thank you so much!!!!

She’s not smiling because I was trying to capture the way she feels to me at this point in the story. Hope that’s okay.

That’s totally fine! I like seeing how other people picture my characters–I don’t know, it’s just really interesting and cool. And yeah, I don’t know if I would imagine her smiling eit…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I like the section, though again, like we’ve talked about before, you do kind of gloss over everything and summarize it all in a page or two. That’s fine, though, if this isn’t a super important part of the story. It would be nice to get to see some more specifically of the new characters who’ve joined Julian and Leon, since we…[Read more]

Okay, I’ve begun the 9-point outline and managed not to huff, puff, and blow it all down to start over again after filling three points of it. Phew! Finally, have something down for each point. Most of this you have seen already, but not in this structured form. I wrote this with the intention of the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle whoa, awesome job on these artworks!

@ellette-giselle Thank you!! The program I used was Procreate on iPad.

@whalekeeper thanks! His design is one of my favorites, I love to draw him.

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @theducktator

I’m still struggling to get through an outline, but it’s not working out well. I keep on getting to judgmental with myself, trying to write the perfect outline. I keep thinking, ‘ is this really what Alan would do? Is he unlearning what he learned in book I here? Is that a bad thing for his character…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I looked it up and it seems like it might be…. claymation? Something like that.

Yep! It’s stop-motion with lots of different materials. Stop-motions can be less expensive for the filmmakers, but they have to work a lot more.

@ellette-giselle

When I say it’s a good horror story, I mean that. There are a lot of thought-provoking horrors out there, usually to represent things gone too far, like dystopias. I think most good horrors are functionally dystopias.

Coraline is about home, courage, and the horrors of wishful thinking. It takes a ‘what if’ and digs into exactly…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Aw maaan 😂 I’ve never seen you back down on dramatic ‘dark’ stuff before… *Gives you a side-eye*
