@ellette-giselle

I love this ending!! I was worried with how dark it was looking, you were gonna leave it off on a less satisfying note. But the Fox journal was hopeful, and I honestly love how you time-skipped it into modern times. Which, interestingly, makes it seem more real to me, the fact that these places would still exist in the world we…[Read more]

Rowan shook his head. “No, just any soldier younger than twenty-seven.”

I don’t know too much about war or armies, but I know enough to know that is a bad idea. Especially since it is the younger ones. That’s got to be more than half of his army! Is he trying to be the blood god? Yuck.

Good to see Rowan be saved and some hin…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

is that actually bad though? I haven’t done it often, and I don’t see much of another way to get that info across. Plus, I’ve used “as you know” sentences before in conversation just to help listeners make quick side connections so they can focus on the main line of thought. Idk.

Well the problem is that it is kind of weird. It…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

It’s okay. Sorry I keep nagging you, but… I feel justified. I’ve had to wait on that ending for about five days.

@ellette-giselle

yeah, well that’s reality for ya.

is it really though??

(this is a joke reply, not a genuine thing you need to spend a paragraph answering and wasting your time lol)

yeah, Leon has a rough time of it, poor guy. I’ve gone back and four on writing his backstory as like a short side story novella. We’ll see though.

I think…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Are we getting a new section today?

Help meeee

I’m stuck *cries* I want to write over the summer but I’m strugglingggg

You know when you get an epic idea for a plot, but then forget where you were going with it and then you don’t know what to do?

Yeah that’s…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

more like a knitted hat.

ohhh

if you look closely at what the prince said, it leads to the suggestion that he was killed by the priests because he got upset at them for killing his son.

dang that’s dark

also it’s gonna be hard to deal with in the next part of the story. Say that against all odds, the new emperor does become a…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle Chilling climax, if that’s what this is.

“Ah, look at this!” Leon exclaimed, pulling the tray over. “A cup of lovely, musty water, with who knows what floating in it to give us a lovely surprise, and some rock-hard bread seasoned with just enough mold to make it delightfully poisonous.”

lolllll

“And after that we can count the…

@ellette-giselle

There were from some far-off country— we don’t have knights here.

They, not there.

Also, this is ‘As you know’ dialogue. Leon is telling Julian something he already knows in order to inform the reader.

“And then I put it on. There was a helmet that completely covered my face so that no one could ever recognize me or tell…

@ellette-giselle

Does him getting angry when Julian was all excited about him being the White Knight in the last book make sense now?

Yep.

Did any of it surprise you?

No, I don’t think so. Not really.

Julian and Leon are now in the bottom of the arena.

@ellette-giselle

Julian slowly shook his head.

Oh no…

Good section. The new prince’s beliefs make more sense now.

And we got to find out Leon’s backstory!! I’m glad, but… it really feels like you’re setting it up for him (and Julian?) to die. 🥺🥺

@keilah-h

I tend to lean towards global flood as well. That’s something I hadn’t considered regarding rock layers.

@grcr

My dad says that there are a lot of generations skipped in those genealogies, and that they only recorded the more important people, so that’s why he doesn’t think that they are a very accurate way to calculate the age of…[Read more]

Okay, that’s fine.

@ellette-giselle

Is there going to be a new section today? 🫣

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

Chapter 30 out!

@ellette-giselle Thank you!

yeah I’m still learning but it’s so fun.

Alright, I have it!

I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do the background and stuff, so I did his face first. I did a pale cream layer and then went over it with light purples because I was going to make the night sky have a purple tint. I ended up kinda hating it, both the idea for…[Read more]
