Woah. Lotsa questions. (I completely understand though. Your gonna get lotsa questions whin I finish my current draft of The Cost)

Is that a bad thing? Do you feel like it spoils too much? What can you tell me is definitely going to happen from that scene. (Just so I can gage how much it actually does give away) 

Darrien is…[Read more]

@everyone @freed_and_redeemed @ellette-giselle @linus-smallprint

I feel like maybe we should have freedom post a pic of Fun because some of us here have seen his face claims and some haven’t, which is kinda unfair? Anyone else have thoughts?

@ellette-giselle

On the other hand, do you mean that you believe it is wrong for a woman to enlist?

I personally can’t find scripture against a woman joining military, or fighting in real life on way or another.

Now, when women fight, things get ugly. My brother and I have discussed this before, having both done similar research, and I’d like…[Read more]

Ok, Y’all. This topic has gone deep. XD Wow. That’s good though. We should really pull apart why we are writing what we are writing. I’m getting a fresh look at my own characters too.

There are many facets to what y’all are saying. I will say first off, that the reversal of the “da…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

BiNg!

*screen comes to life*

That would depend on what you mean by “norms”. To be blatant, I don’t like crossdressing, and other such greying of lines. I like lines. I also like to know exactly why that line is there, and if it is a good line. As long as this “norm” isn’t a biblical thing, or crosses a line I’ve personally dr…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Can you create a link to share it?

@ellette-giselle

Um, because I like it. Is it bad? I can cut it. I just felt like it was a nicer ending the Sabina crying, plus I have a seven year jump ending in the next one, and a several year jump in the last one.

Well, it just gives away some of what will happen to the characters. That’s all.

As for the cover, I’m not sure what you are using…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle UM YEAH I wanna keep reading!!! Especially after all that!!!

also love the cover.

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle wowww those are so cool!!

@ellette-giselle

But, Sabina is in no place to be reading at the moment. So, this letter actually wouldn’t show up until the second book when Sabina gets a POV in the very beginning. Do you think it would be better to shift it to book two. It would be Aaron’s last letter, and it would be unread. So, the reader would know he wrote it, but never kno…

@ellette-giselle

No, wait, your not supposed to be one yet! Grrrr. (Explanation: I told myself I would get the next scenes fully edited and cleaned up before you or Keilah got on and commented on my WIP. I failed. lol)

Because you asked me whether or not Aaron I thought Aaron would die and I assumed it would be answered in the next section, I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

My brother would most certainly not be smiling. He’d be saying, “What the heck are you doing?”

Lol XDXD I get that. The brother would think she’s crazy at first and he’d be scared for her, but it’s still a gesture of love.

If she was going to go with him, at all, she should go as a nurse or something and work behind battle lines…

@ellette-giselle

Of course, in the best scenario. Do you see how going with him represents victory over her fear? Can you imagine the smile on her brother’s face when she insists on doing everything he has to do, right alongside him? Even if it isn’t the best thing that could have happened?

@ellette-giselle

Yes, staying home and giving support would be best in a perfect world. I totally get that. But it’s all about Bonnie’s mindset, WHY is she doing this?

Bonnie hides behind all the traditional supportive things because those are the safe things, everyone expects you to do them and her brother has a hard time believing it’s…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

yw!

@whalekeeper

Ig it’s kinda nostalgic for you. I only play minecraft rn but I want to branch out someday.

@ellette-giselle

They are better than what I can do, at present. :]

@ellette-giselle

Wow, her hand on the bow is perfect.

@ellette-giselle

I think you misunderstood what I asked, but this works too 🙂

What does it hurt you to take a few steps in the opposite direction of the world?

What if we step too far into the other extreme? I believe another extreme exists. I agree, men and women are literally different, but there are so many nuances in every person. That’s k…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

after one of my friends started crying over the rough draft and melting the words on the paper I had pretty high hopes for this scene. 😉

Hee hee. I know that feeling.

so, do you think he’s going to die, or do you believe he’ll get out of this?

At this point I could see it going either way. It seems your main thing for Aaron is tru…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I like it! 😊 It looks familiar but I can’t remember what I’m thinking of
