Thanks!

@rae

I should draw Baron sometime soon here…

oh yes pls do

@whalekeeper

The way you phrase that sounds like it’s not up for discussion

@ellette-giselle

Nope. XD

@ellette-giselle

Yes, I did—I think I responded? Unless I didn’t send it?

It’s cool. I had no idea what it meant until I read the rest of it though. XD

@ellette-giselle

That’s so exciting!!!! Congratulations!!!!

@ellette-giselle

Yay!! I was getting a little worried 😅

Have you graduated yet, by the way? (Congrats if you did!)

This section was good. I think you did a good job of showing the horror of the University executions without making it too descriptive *shudders*

Leon ran the other way, and Julian turned and scrambled down the street nearest to…

@ellette-giselle oh yeah forgot lol

but it was also the first book, so a cliffhanger like that is ok. Never mind lol

@ellette-giselle I predict that at least a few of them will be thrown into the games. They did that a lot in the Roman days.

if this is the last book though, it wouldn’t be very wise to end it on “they all died in the games” and not have something good come out of it. Even book one with Aaron’s death had a “good ending” because shortly aft…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @stephie @theducktator @ellette-giselle @keilah-h

Chapter 28 out!

@ellette-giselle

No new sections?

@ellette-giselle

My dad actually hasn’t read these ones yet. It’s more the word “sermon” that’s a knee-jerk reaction and less the actual content. I’m completely behind what I write, it’s just more the idea of “writing a sermon”. If that makes sense…….

Got it.

That depends on the word. In this case, this name is said V-ī-ss. Like vice. In fact, th…

@ellette-giselle

What I’m asking is, as readers, did you get anything out of this in this book at this time in this place, or did you just read it more to get over it to the next part of the story?

I agree with Keilah and Linus—I think you should leave it in, but maybe have Julian encourage the believers more by reminding them of their future hope.

@whalekeeper @keilah-h @the_lost-journal @ellette-giselle @highscribeofaetherium

I think I tagged the right people

Do you remember the beginning scene of A Visitor in the Night from The Baron Chronicles where Simeon is reading something? So, I just spent 27 minutes changing that scene because the thing he reads is from an actual book that isn’t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle ohhh, I understand now.

(I cringe when y’all say sermon because I’m a woman and I wrote it. But I guess Julian is a guy. 🤣)

Just cause you’re a woman doesn’t mean you can’t write impactful things.

Like yeah, the Bible specifically says that only men should be pastors cause it mirrors them being fathers and heads of hou…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Okay, here’s a question for y’all.

No. You’re fine to keep it in. Instead of feeling like it something I needed to get over for the next part, this felt more like setting the stage for the climax.

Do you ever get your dad to look ov…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Julian’s sermon is fine, but I think he needs to remind them more of what they are fighting for. What the reward in heaven will be. These guys are scared and they need a reminder that they don’t need to worry and God will protect them, even if they die. They need to know that it will be worth it, and this can help them see tha…

@ellette-giselle

A moment later, he drew it out. It was a dark crossbow bolt.

Interesting the church Leon talked about the war of Faith is the one that fell apart the most, but I guess they are in the capital where the most danger is.

@ellette-giselle

Gotcha. You might want to try to clarify the definition a little more, but I would see what others like Linus think.

What does your signature mean, by the way?

@ellette-giselle

I like how Konner and the others are afraid of the Empire. That seems realistic—I would be surprised if in a time like this, all the Christians were courageous enough to defy the government always. Julian’s speech is good. Very rousing. A few parts didn’t make sense.

“If we make decisions based on survival, and only on the abi…

@ellette-giselle Those two sections were good. I’m glad they saved Hue–not every character needs to be killed off in order for the story to have an impact.

How far are we in the book btw?

@ellette-giselle

Good section. I’m glad Leon and Julian saved Hue. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the Capital.
