Also I love that quote about “not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act.” I might steal that for Alec’s board.

@ellette-giselle

It looks great! Does he play the violin? 😁

@freed_and_redeemed

Aww, poor Riker. 🥺

@theshadow

I would consider getting out a blank doc or piece of paper and writing what you know about the story on it. Sometimes it’s definitely hard to know where to go after scenes, and knowing the main goal of your story and what’s going to happen will help. I used to just write whatever I felt like, but for TCOH I’ve actually figured out a…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Awesome, thanks!!

@ellette-giselle @koshka @whalekeeper @theshadow

And y’all, you’re able to like, give me critiques for these. I just meant I didn’t need super precise, line-by-line edits since I’m going to rewrite this stuff eventually. So if you have input, please share it.

@theshadow

Thank you!!

@whalekeeper

Thanks!! So glad you like it! 😁 And hey, if you have tips, I know you’re the synesthesia expert so I would love your input (or advice) if you have any.

@ellette-giselle

Oh my goodnessssss. I just typed out a super long response to your post, and then Wyoh ate it because I wasn’t signed in. 😭😭

I love these ideas. Thank you so much for all the time you’re putting into this (I love bouncing ideas off of someone! There’s a lot of stuff I haven’t figured out with this.) And I’m glad you like the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Your request has been granted. (You inspired me.)

@ellette-giselle

No worries! Haha, I like Alec a lot too. He’s super fun to write. Thank you! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it so far.

Oh 😅 Whoops, that is something I missed in editing. Josiah is their father, yep, but he’s not supposed to be in that scene anymore… originally, I had it where he was, but now I changed it to he and Elena are divor…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @koshka

Do y’all have strong thoughts on either of the chapters?

@ellette-giselle

I just didn’t do them yet because I decided it was a hugging day.

Can I just say, that is a hilarious quote. 🤣

I don’t know if the one with Joseph hugging the girl is a major part of the story, so I would maybe hesitate on moving it onto the next stage. Not that every illustration needs to be an important scene, but I don’t k…[Read more]

@koshka

Sorry, I forgot to add you. Chapter 3 and 4 are out!

@ellette-giselle

Also, what’s on Joseph’s hand in the one of him with Amelia in prison?

@ellette-giselle

FOR LTBL

Hmm… I don’t think there was any scenes I wanted to see that you didn’t get. Do you have illustrations for anywhere near the end? You probably wouldn’t want to show Aaron’s execution, but maybe him standing arrested by the soldiers or something.

My favorites–probably the one of Sabina hugging Turin, the two little…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @theshadow

Chapters 3 and 4 are out! I think I’m going to post these on a separate doc for now, and we’ll see how it goes. As of now, I’m also planning to post two chapters every week, maybe on Tuesdays. That way I’m not glued to my screen all the time waiting to hear y’all’s feedback, and it gives me some time to catch up on my…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yayyyy!!! Illustrations!!

(Even tho I already saw most of these haha. Great job!!)

Also, you can delete a forum??? 

@ellette-giselle

*sings* Meeeeeeeeeeeeee!
