 I wish I could draw like that

That drawing is 15 years of practice being put into one piece of art. I’ve been drawing since I could first hold a crayon (our poor walls lol). You’ll get there 🙂

I imagine that alone took FOREVER!!!!

It took 7+ hours for the entire drawing, not sure how long it was for the background alone.

Can I…

That ended up bigger than I expected…

New character design

The character’s name is Gabriel Mai.

@ellette-giselle

Good section. I’m glad Leon and Julian saved Hue. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the Capital.

@keilah-h

yeah, it’s just a first draft, those are never, ever perfect. Some can get close to how the end story is, but there’s inevitably gonna have to be at least one scene you cut, one set of dialogue you rework, one characters whose role changes, etc.

Thanks, Keilah!

Chapter 27 out!

This chapter took an unexpected direction. I never thought I would be writing that sort of thing. *shivers* But then again, Andrew Perterson had something like it in his first Wingfeather book.

@linus-smallprint

Ah yes, now I get it.

People can’t just cheery pick verses.

@ellette-giselle

Now I’m just confused.

Good.

Philippians 4:13 is a verse people like to take out of context when they set their eyes on a goal, like win a sports game.

The point is that context is key, and by removing it, it can be easy to twist verses into excuses to do what we want. Like what Satan did when he tempted Jesus.

CEW == Crazy Editing Week?

I don’t have anything to edit right now, so don’t think I will join. But thank you for the invite!

@linus-smallprint

*blink*

Now I’m just confused.

@ellette-giselle

Well, as Philippians 4:13 says:

“I can do all things…” with a Bible verse taken out of context.

@linus-smallprint

I’ve encountered Karl’s in my day. Guys who can quote scripture up and down, but live in complete lies, yet they try to make it look like you’re the enemy.

@ellette-giselle

Though I do recall some villains in book 2 at least who tried to tempt Joseph by telling him that suffering wasn’t worth it. I just think Karl is more interesting because he has some understanding of Christianity, and has the potential to make a stronger argument.

@linus-smallprint

Yes, that was the Stiens

Hmm, interesting that you should say that………….  I agree that the villain on the inside is a fun twist. I like this too.

@ellette-giselle

“I was one of them,” Andreas said. “That one night when we were threatening you, you looked straight at me, and you said it wasn’t too late. I never forgot those words.”

Ah… Okay, I remember him.

Remind me… are the Steins the family Julian, Aelic, and Roland were staying with when Leon and Rolf caught up to them?

Ba…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Yes, I would die for them.

@the_lost-journal

Yay that makes me happy! Thanks for interviewing!! It was fun answering the questions!! and realizing how much I still need to think about/worldbuild lol XD

Lol ah, I see!

I ended up signing up for it. 🙂 !!

@the_lost-journal

Hm… (talking to GRCR, sorry that I keep asking your character this question, but I just imagine that writers like to do the impossible or illegal with characters, I guess I should just realize that isn’t what ever author does XD)

Lol yeah, no problem.

I do like to set characters on the revenge path. If he were in a more… fanta…[Read more]
