In my mind he says it in a joking way. Is that the impression you get? And if so, does it still sound like a mother?

No, I didn’t get that impression much. Maybe if you had mentioned him smiling, I imagined him with a serious/lecturing frown on his face as he said this.

Actually, this makes me think more of my grandma or sisters,…[Read more]

Drawing out surprise and mystery is a good idea. Hybridlore may want to know it all now, but she has more reason to keep reading now. Sometimes, it is even a good idea to never reveal but only hint, to allow the reader to piece it all together herself.

As for the editing thing again, I see what you are saying now. I guess that…[Read more]

“Governor,” the man said, bowing low. “The gods have a message for you.” Before anyone had a chance to speak, he shot his hand out like a serpent striking and thrust it at Walter’s chest.

Ah, so that’s the assassination attempt. This raises the tension somewhat; not so sure what the impact will be in the long run though, as this m…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh, never mind. I assumed there were only two sections posted when I was unable to log in. Now I see that third one. I will go read it right away!

@theducktator @keilah-h @ellette-giselle

Thank you all of you!

@ellette-giselle

Yes, I am all caught up. No, I did not get your reply. Probably Gmail deciding it is the superior email system, throwing it out before I get it.

@ellette-giselle

YES!!! Help please! I’m dying under all this writing! *gasp* *head rolls off…*

I’m so behind again. Maybe you could wait a day or two for me to catch up?

Oh yes. I understand what you said to me about Leon’s past.

@ellette-giselle The White Knight incident was also very interesting! I went back and read through the whole thing.

@ellette-giselle all righty, I’ll look!

@ellette-giselle

Yeah… 😝 Oopsy. Not to mention, the end of Chapter 13 kind of makes it seem like he’s unsure about what he does. Which maybe he is. I have to solidify his arc soon xD.

Hey, that is the best way to write. Keep at it!

I’ll try! 🫡

Finished a drawing of Alan and Martha! I meant to post this yesterday, but couldn’t log into Kingdom Pen for some reason. But now here it is!

@ellette-giselle

KP is breaking for everyone. *gasp* this might be the end!!!!

Yup. I couldn’t get into my account for a while, so I emailed you feedback on the latest two sections. I don’t know if you saw that. But I’m back now! Maybe I should code up a new website…

Tagging some people to make them aware of this area on KP!

Y’all are also free to answer last week’s question if you like.

@ellette-giselle thank you!!! I’m really proud of it. I’m planning to keep digitally redrawing the sketches I did for that story (it’s one of my favorites thanks to all the creatures I got to design for it lol)

@ellette-giselle

Oh not to a man’s! Just not my name so that I’ll be untrackable. An alias.

true, but even if you change it to another female name they might still be after you.

Ehh, just

Any thoughts on this whole “White Knight” business?

hmm? I must’ve missed that chapter (happens sometimes), how far back is it so I can read through it?

@ellette-giselle

the women’s draft (in which case I will go under ground and change my author’s name)

I don’t know if that’ll be helpful (if you mean drafting for war). You can’t exactly change your author name to a man’s….and even if you did, they’d probably try to draft “him” lol.

Pleading medical or religious exemption (if the country has…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Well, I’m glad it comes through! I don’t even know what I’m doing… I just pray and try to picture it.

Okay, good. I was trying to put foreshadowing and hints in the chapters before so that it’d all make sense, but since the story was still forming at some stages (Chapter 4, I think, the one where Alec comes home for dinner, n…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Aw, Ellette, I don’t even really know what to say. I’m so, so glad you like it! Thank you for all the encouragement!

I want this made into a MOVIE!!

Every author’s not-so-secret dream xD

Yeah, poor Everett. It’d be a challenge for sure.

So… was it obvious before this chapter what Alec did for his job? Do you feel like you have…[Read more]

@koshka @ellette-giselle @hybridlore @theducktator @keilah-h @theshadow @anyone-else

Thank you everyone for your comments on the doc!!

The reason I haven’t added anything new is because I moved it all to Reedsy. Reedsy will professionally typeset it all, and have a more professional look to it, and I like Reedsy better for writing.

The point of…[Read more]

KP is breaking on my phone. I got emailed for that but when I clicked on it, it did not show your post. Now I’m on my laptop, and somehow it shows it now. 🤔

“What? What did I do?” *in very innocent voice.*

Only killed off at least four pretty important characters in only two books. (Prince guy, Turin, Aaron, Adrian.) Nearly kill…[Read more]
