*gasps in relief and grabs his hand like a lifeline.* NO! Not at all! I’d love to!
(my life is a wreck this week, in case you haven’t noticed. 🤣)
We redecorated the neighborhood, so to speak.
That is amazing! This two have got an awesome relationship! I can’t wait to read their book!
Rory
Rory thought very long and hard about what Leo had said. “So… you desecrated government property, and you weren’t punished for it? And… and they weren’t either?” The last was more hesitant. He knew that Leo and Silvia were alive and unharmed… for the most part, but the other kids….
(this poor character? Who did this to him?! He’s so messed up!)

yes!! I do!!! Can I be adopted too?!?? 🥹🥺
Rory
Rory drew in a slow breath as Leo turned off the flame. For a moment that awful scene had threatened to flash through his mind. Thankfully, he’d fought it back.
This time.
“There, all done. Now we let that cool and don’t let any kids sign their names in it like they did the pavement outside.” Leo grinned as he slipped off his helmet. “Not that I ever did anything like that when I was young.”Rory blinked. “They wrote their names in stone? Were they war heroes?” He shivered slightly. War heroes were always cruel. And brutal.

Oh my word! WHY CAN’T HE BE MY OLDER BROTHER!?!? I need a Leo!!😭😍
Rory
“I’ve done this plenty,” Leo said. “Maybe not on tile, but heaps of other stuff. Did it hanging off my ship once when we had an air leak out of atmosphere.”
Ship…. atmosphere. That meant a flying ship. An airplane.
fighter jets
Rory sucked in a sharp breath through his teeth.
Leo’s voice sounded, dragging him back to the present. “You ever used one of these before?”
Something whistled in his memory and there was a bright flash. Red lights. Yelling–
Rory blinked several times and shook his head quickly.

Oh you’re not the one. It was more like you voiced what was already bothering me. I’m sorry if I made it seem like it was somehow your fault. 😌
Maybe God will use this book will encourage Christians to venture into dangerous places to share the gospel!
I’d like that. But even more, I wanted it to wake people up to the fact that not too long ago, it could mean death to believe in God. I feel like many people take Christianity too lax. Just a sort of, yeah I’m good and go to church and will go to heaven. I want to wake people up to the fact that this is 100% a war, and if you treat it as such, the enemy will do all in his power to stop you, but that’s because you are far too dangerous for him to let alone. God can work wonders through men and women who truly give their lives to him. And we shouldn’t forget the courage of those before us and what this cost them.
We still need to see Book 4. The story is not over yet!
True. ☺️
I guess one of my main frustrations is the characters seem very real and separate in my mind, and I’m having trouble making them seem so, because I’m having trouble seeing where they are blending. I just know that they are for the readers. It was a struggle of mine, and my most recent work has really had very different characters in it. But it’s hard to do that to characters who have already been written, without ruining who they are. If that makes sense…….
Thank you for the prayers.
Oh wow! That last post with the verses! I actually did start crying. That is one of the most encouraging things anyone has ever said to me. Thank you so, so much. And thank you for encouraging in a way that points toward God, not just to me. That’s the kind of encouragement that is really impactful. So thank you so, so much.
Aw thank you. I think everyone has a chance and opportunity to make an impact on the world with the gifts God has given if they will use those gifts for His glory. I think you have a great chance of doing that just as much as anyone else.

yeah

Oh It’s not just @linus-smallprint. He just said a few things that have already been bothering me in the back of my mind. It’s this aggravating struggle to rewrite something and pull it out of the ditch of not-so-great writing and up to the level I have worked to achieve now.
It’s always been a story that’s been close to my heart, but I don’t know.
I am just super depressed today. And everything is going wrong. And it’s raining.
I guess I’ll just try to push through and see what happens by the end of the last book.

Unless you have something exponentially more important, I’d say go for it.
Why? What reason do I have?
(not to sound dark or depressed. But is it truly worth it?)

Rory
Rory slid back, but his eyes were locked on Leo’s hands in a half memorized, half terrified stare. There was a very bad memory at the edge of his mind, and he didn’t know what it was, but he really didn’t want it let out.

I know. *sobs*
Okay, sounds good. Maybe next week?
*sighs* some of this feedback is depressing. I wonder……. these books were written so long ago and comparing them to the stuff I have written now, they’re just not as good at all. Are they even worth trying to rewrite? Rewriting is so hard….. is the message and story one that needs to be told?
Hmmm.
sorry for the rant.
I’m thinking out loud. On paper.

Yay!!!!
aw, thanks for making me laugh. Smaug the laptop ate two years of historical research and I’m so not happy.
I’ll look at this right away!
btw, do you still need me to wait until April now that you sent this?

leaving the kid anywhere didn’t seem…wise. He had a back for getting into pickles.
Love that!
Rory
Rory winced slightly at the list Leo had rattled off. He’d used just about every one of those things. And the memories that accompanied the usage were bad. Very bad.
“Looks like we’ve got most of this. Ready for a blowtorch?” Leo asked.
Rory looked at him uneasily. “Maybe…. what are you going to do with it?”
