freedom

But thank you for expressing your concerns 💜

@rae I have already discussed the concerns expressed here (anonymously ofc) with Justice and we’ll be working on making the guidelines more clear.

He has a very tight schedule and has a lot of things going on in his life right now. I think it’s important to keep grace always on our minds, because I doubt any sort of community gets everything…[Read more]

Story Stewards doesn’t even refer to itself as a church anymore, but rather a sanctuary for Christian writers

Hii hello Admin on Story Stewards here 👋🏻😂

First off, JWM/Story Stewards was created within like the span of a year, it’s new, and Justice put it together completely on his own without anyone to help him.

From everything I have seen and from conversations with Justice, Story Stewards being called a “church” refers to the fact that the body…[Read more]

So I’m guessing that’s Riker cause his brown hair and blue eyes?

Which means a bunch of Russians beat him up because he was a German and they were mad about his involvement in the camps.

Yes it’s Riker.

Uhm…yeahhhh….kinda???

He may or may not have been arrested

Leon, too

@keilah-h those animations are so good! I finally just got a chance to watch them, and I love them

@keilah-h

uhm

the Soviets happened

@ellette-giselle since I know you want everything Book 3 related🙈

this one involved some tracing but I’m also really proud of the shading/details/etc 🙈

this may or may not be for a scene from Book 3 of the Broken and Redeemed Trilogy

@ellette-giselle that’s true…😂

I have a few authors that I talk to a lot about KC but they’re on Instagram/Discord so it’s definitely a more private messaging kind of system

@ellette-giselle

Yeah haha. If we could all talk privately it’d be different and I could share more😭

And honestly same. It takes a lot for me to like a fantasy book. KC, however, is very near and dear to my heart 🤭

The cast is just ugh I love them sm

@ellette-giselle I personally use Canva haha. It’s the easiest but still good one I’ve found for designing covers.

Yes very spendy😅

Aww thanks, I’m glad🤭(I deleted it now so not just anyone on the internet can find it🙈). Aww haha thank you! I certainly feel like it’s helped me a lot to improve my craft.

And yayyyy🤭 I was hoping you…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle I’m designing the cover haha! I would love to have a few illustrations in it but I probably can’t afford it, sadly😭

Maybe for special editions one day though 👀

And yesss it is! A quote from Book 2🤭

I could potentially share a snippet of the first chapter here if y’all wanted though👀

@ellette-giselle

Atm it’s hard to say🙈 I think maybe, maybe I’m looking at a Spring 2027 release for the 1st book…though potentially earlier if I can get things finalized 🤫

@ellette-giselle  It is very rarely necessary to show it. I believe such topics can be handled with grace and truth without having to be graphic about it.

There’s mainly 1 main character in KC that such topics are handled a lot, but I still do my best to keep it from getting graphic at all or getting too heavy.

But I have to discuss it wi…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

They do need to be addressed, just not in a way that destroys innocence, glorifies it in a twisted way, or is just unnecessarily graphic.

I wholeheartedly agree. That’s one reason why KC is going to be 18+, will have a content warning at the beginning of the book, and won’t glorify such horrendous actions.

The overly graphic…[Read more]

It’s kinda both a way to show the victims that they are seen and a spur to action that such injustices need to come to an end

I believe bringing awareness to such issues can help others see how damaging those things are, but also help them see that the things they have lived through/endured don’t have to define who they are or who they have to become, something many family members and even myself, have had to learn and walk through.

I think bringing awareness to such…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I have a lot of family that have lived through abuse, seen addiction or were addicted, have dealt with homelessness, were neglected, etc. There are a lot of family members that have had to make/are making the choice to be the chain breakers, and I’ve watched as a lot of them have spent their whole life trying to heal from the…[Read more]
