lol. That’s great.

So because Julian and Joseph showed empathy for Adrian in that scene… will the government think they are Christians too?

Julian’s empathy is understandable. He’s trying to stop them from killing his little brother. He would have done that no matter the crime. He reacted badly enough to what Adrian said, that h…[Read more]

Here is Joseph!

(Adrian was posted at the bottom of page 8 for anyone that missed that.)

@hybridlore

Adrian was my favorite!

Oh no! I’m sorry he was your favorite! (He was my favorite too at this point.)

 

Your *not actual* book has been officially thrown across the room.

If you don’t pick it up again you’ll never know what happens…….. then I can’t be faulted for it being depressing, because you put it down right after…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I feel bad. I’m sorry. But then again, I’m also not. You know how that goes.

Okay, I was super stressed that you were going to find out what was going to happen because of Julian being in the RP! I’m so glad you forgot! I was thinking, “Shoot, I shouldn’t have put him in there until after this book.”

Question- how come all the other…

@hybridlore

here, this will help.

@hybridlore

Are you for real crying, or just your emojis?

I’m sorry. I know it’s sad.

You were so bubbly in the previous post, and now you are so sad. Part of me feels really bad, and the other part of me is wickedly gleeful.

Does anyone want to see a Joseph or Adrian aesthetic board?!?

3rd SECTION FROM TODAY

I am on a roll!

Poor Linus. You’ll have so much catching up to do. Sorry.

Another long day passed in prayer and fear. Noah and Darrien had to leave for work as normal, but this time it was much harder for Joseph to see them go, and it seemed to be the same f…

@hybridlore

ah yes, my struggles with the male sex and relationships. *sighs* Guys just don’t make sense sometimes. (and girls totally do because who would ever be confused by girl relationships and emotions. no one. Right?)

That new section looks good. The end feels like a perfect transition to a scene with Adrian… is that what happens n…

@ellette-giselle

 even if we’re glad the character didn’t die, it often feels a little artificial.

While I agree with you that maybe killing off Adrian is the best course of action, especially considering this is supposed to be a realistic missionary story, I’ve also seen a story where it’s the opposite: They killed off a character because it…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Yes! I do, but only about 10 of them are salvageable. The others were my learning arc and I steal ideas and characters from them.

How did you know?

2nd SECTION FROM TODAY

Sorry it’s really short. I have to leave. I’ll post more this afternoon or tomorrow, depending on when I get home.

Joseph lay on his bed, sobbing.

Noah had finally decided they could come out of hiding and carried him home. Now Joseph lay and cried. First…

@hybridlore

lovely.

This is just where an author wants her reader.

And, because I am a nice author, I will give you a little gift and go edit up the next section and post it, all for you yourself.

🙂

@hybridlore

(I’m fighting so hard for Adrian. 😂)

I know, and the sad/funny thing is that it doesn’t matter what you say, this is the 4th draft, so whether he dies or not is already decided and isn’t changing.

Maybe God’s not done with Adrian yet.

Your right.

But maybe He’s ready to call this young soldier home.

I don’t know what his d…

@hybridlore

(You already killed off Aaron. Isn’t that enough for you?? 😭)

*gasp* how dare you! I never killed Aaron. The Empire did.

So there.

But honestly there are times when you can’t get around it. I’m not killing characters just to be depressing or violent. I’m doing it for good reasons. Plus, I have to follow the rules of my world. It w…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Ah, well, we don’t always get our way.

Don’t do this to your readers. Your book will get thrown across the room. He needs to be rescued. Maybe Julian should help him escape.

lololol,

I wouldn’t throw my books across the room. I love stories where good characters die. It’s so refreshing after all this impossible happily ever a…[Read more]

@hybridlore

And I am not satisfied with the confrontation. They need another scene. *plops down stubbornly* I really love brother dynamics … 😅

ME TOO! I love brother dynamics.

So what your saying is, Julian didn’t yell at him enough and should do some more?

lolololol.

Poor Julian, he must be so hurt and confused.

Anyway. You CANNOT kill A…

@hybridlore

That’s it.

That’s all you have to say? Nothing about my skilled word choice and flowing verbs!

(lololololol 100% joking!)

Are you getting attached to Adrian?

Btw, there was your Julian/Adrian confrontation. Did it go how you expected?

@hybridlore   @linus-smallprint    @koshka   @keilah-h

NEXT SECTION!!!!!!

The days passed one by one. Adrian remained in hiding, and Joseph spent more and more time with him, listening as he told stories of his early childhood with his brother– the days before the army.

Adrain spent hours in study, and Joseph was often at his side, re…
