This was something my brother started:

Every night (except for Friday and most often Sunday and Saturday) during the beginning part of dinner, everyone takes 2 mintues to say something about their day. That could be anything from a work announcement, some encouragment they learned from the Bible, some animal/anything speical they…[Read more]

@liberty

The 2-minute dinner talks? What are those? That sounds interesting already…

@trailblazer

Yes. Knowing why we do things is so important!

Oooh! I forgot about the Sunday one! My family doesn’t have a “rule” about that one, but we all know Sunday is a day of rest and fellowship. I’ve actually been starting to not use computers on Sunday. Now, there are expections…last week my sister and I were creating some stickers on a…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Sounds good!

Oh, gotcha, thanks.

@hybridlore

Thanks! I’m glad.

Okay, I’ll see what the others think. I liked it as a nice recap of everything that was happening.

Erich is one of the Stien children. He’s married and has a kid. They were the family that Julian, Roland, and Aelic were staying with when Rolf and Leon caught up with them.

@ellette-giselle

I have hope that you won’t kill off all the characters… but am expecting at least one of the MCs to die. 😭😫

@ellette-giselle

Great first section! You did a good job of establishing the stakes and the characters’ situations. One thought I had (for you to consider) is possibly to remove the first journal entry and start off the book with Leon. It might be a stronger beginning… but it works great with the journal entry there too.

Remind me again, who is…[Read more]

Carrot Cake: “Oh… I guess you don’t! But HEEE does!” *Carrot Cake points at Sniper* “And you have a weird devils tongue… ARE YOU FROM HELL?! Is there fire there? But I think that weird girl looks weird too! She must be weird, and as weird as can be! Did I mention she is weird? She has weird eyes!” *Carrot Cake uses her fingers t…

@koshka @ellette-giselle

I don’t particularly enjoy heaven scenes either, but when an author takes a moment to show that God is actually with us down here, like when Aaron knew Jesus was so close and when the Maker talks to Janner at the Fane of Fire and felt the love of the Maker wrap around him at the end…that’s beautiful. It reminds us that ev…

@elishavet-pidyon

Oooooo!!! I like your thoughts!!! Yes, I do have a weakness for armor. Go Lieutenant Roth and his guys! (though one does start to wonder what’s going to happen when those soldiers came in contact with orders to hunt down the believers……)

You’re planning a plot twist for the series as a whole.

Interesting…..

There are s…

@koshka

YES!! I am 100% in agreement with that! Those are the kinds of scenes that I love.

@ellette-giselle

Well, thoughtesss…

It’s a dark before dawn thing. Maybe playing with the idea that the Empire has long, dark winters.

Fabulous armor. I love it. I’m happy done of the soldiers were saved so we can root for some of those suits of armor…. But there’s probably more bad guys in armor than otherwise.

The government is going to…[Read more]

His name is Smaug and he’s a dragon.

lol, my work computer’s name is Wheatley. It was the name of a robot in a video game; he’s nice most of the time but  betrays the player character when he’s plugged into a corrupted mainframe. So I figured I’d name my computer that just in case there’s a robotic revolution or something and it…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Then again, I have had a pretty good track record for the last two books. No MCs died! Yay!

@hybridlore

Ah, so you like the MCs. Both of them.

Poor you.

😂

@ellette-giselle

Oh, haha. XD. Yeah, I think we talked about it briefly right when you were first starting it.

Leon and Julian, from the last book. (Plus Albee and Ian, but I don’t think they’re coming back . . . unless they do. That would be cool.) I have a lot of other favorites, but they’re not in the Empire, so I doubt they’ll have much of a…[Read more]

@theshadow

The main character is incredibly bland, but also the most unique person in the universe. Typically I’ve noticed female protagonists are like this, and they’re usually super insecure about their looks but are actually pretty. Additionally, the protagonist has some special ability that makes them stand out and is caught up in a love tri…

@hybridlore

Oh! I forgot I told KP people about it. 😂

Zombie computer! I beg pardon. His name is Smaug and he’s a dragon.

😂

aha. I see.

well, you should be scared for them. Especially your favorites.

(who are your favorites again?)

@ellette-giselle

6)Prepare for major fallout to begin from the Prince dying in the last book.
*nods happily*

2)Nearly everyone we love will get hurt.
why would you ever think that?! 😢

🤣

Mostly this.
