Oh dear!

Don’t worry, you’re in no trouble at all. I’m sure that can get confusing.

@ellette-giselle

I’m not in the habit of giving away my endings.

*whispers* Oh, okay.

@ellette-giselle

Wait…what??!!! 

How does Josef know them? You mean Joseph right?…not Josef? Like, the CR Josef?

@ellette-giselle

Dark…but with a brilliantly light-filled ending…right?

@ellette-giselle

Ooh…so, they’re going back to the Empire!!!

@ellette-giselle

Oh my gosh!!! I have a lot of those pictures for my characters!!! And I have a Beric, too!!!

@ellette-giselle

This fella is named Diedrich.

Ah, his name is slightly different.

Oh, here’s a funny thing. My family was deciding who to pick for our family’s “hero of faith”, and we went with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Mama was asking, “How do you spell his first name?” Mama is Japanese, so even though she’s lived in the states for many years, she…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Wait….WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this the character you mentioned when we talked???? *utterly freaking out* So…when does he appear? Act 3?

Oh my gosh…he’s based on Deitrich Bonhoeffer…right? I mean, his name…that quote…his look…

The board is awesome! One of those pictures (the carving one) I was planning to use for one…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I like him! He looks like a good friend to have in hard times.

@ellette-giselle

It looks great! Does he play the violin? 😁

@ellette-giselle

Prayer really is important. God has given us this gift, we should ask Him to help us use it.

I completely agree!!!!

I also pray about EVERYTHING…like asking Jesus to help me pick out outfits or other random things lol

@whalekeeper

I totally understand how you feel *cries*

No matter how cringy it is, sometimes it is better…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

So, before I ever begin to write I pray. I write down the idea in my prayer journal and say, “Lord, here’s my idea. If you want me to write this book, give me the rest of the story” and He does.

This is really good. I need to do this more. And one of the major themes of book two of TNPT is trusting God!

8 drafts per book? Phew!…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I don’t think I’m quite the person to ask. I tend to hyperfocus on a single project and put any other story ideas to the back of my mind for later. I’ve only ever written two first drafts, and that was some time ago. So I am lacking experience in this area. (Looks like Ellette has you covered here though. @ellette-giselle, how many…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @keilah-h @whalekeeper

I’ve done something similar once before when I worked on this, so I do have some idea of what I’m doing. (I think I’ve shown you this one before). It turned out all right, so I might eventually convert that cover idea I shared. Maybe I will make it my next drawing to protect if I have the time after I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Awesome, thanks!!

@ellette-giselle

Watching your style change over the years is such a fun thing as an artist!! It really shows how you improve!

Yeah!! 😄

I love your style, btw. Your characters are always so interesting!

Thank you!! 😊💛 That means a lot to me!!

@ellette-giselle

*Ellette proceeds to give her whole process without hesitation*

XD You know what, I’ll take it.

And, write at least 500 words a day. I know that’s not much, but making sure you touch your draft every day,

See, 500 words is easy, but sometimes I finish and realize the trajectory is all wrong. That means if I pick up from there, t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I have become used to traumatized bois, tbh I was not surprised XD

@ellette-giselle

He’s killed several times.

Oki, got him right on the alignment chart then
