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…

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…

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…

(Come to think of it, if you enjoyed this snippet of my worldbuilding you might enjoy my full on WIP I “borrowed” these characters for, I don’t think I’ve ever shown it to you specifically. It’s a junkpile but it’s at least a semi-coherent story and much cleaner than many works I’ve caught glimpses of in the fandom.)
I’m game! I think…[Read more]

Awesome. I like their tails in the wind.
Yeah, I had thought of a general short story to do, but it didn’t happen. Maybe I’ll stick it here later, maybe I’ll just let it grow moss in the back of my mind until it ends up in some WIP quite by accident.

Linus Smallprint replied to the topic The Narrow Path Trilogy Book I: The Cost in the forum Novel Critique Requests 1 year, 8 months ago
So, even though this doesn’t sound pleasant, what I ended up doing was reading the chapter through and then rewriting it completely, using the old chapter as a reference point for events that needed to happen and dialogue I wanted to keep.
That is what I’m doing as well, but either my new ideas are much better than my old or my q…[Read more]

It does seem a tiny bit sudden, but I don’t know cause I’ve never actually seen a person get saved and them follow their life immediately afterward.
Alan does feel a little bit rushed to get back to planning since other people are in danger. He also felt the need to apologize to Rour, and had to go through Stripe to get to him.…[Read more]

Awesome!! Thank you for the update! It’s good to hear that things are going well, even if there have been many tears involved (that just means its a good book, right?). Hope your characters aren’t giving you too much pain. XD
@koshka Thank you! :3 And yes, many tears involved XD (but yesss. I personally love books that make me cry😆). Pffffffft they always are: it’s just a given by this point🙄 I’d say Leon more than Riker in Book #2 tho, but then again, they’ve both broken me🫠
Thank you so much for the update!
Oh now I really can’t wait! Reading the impactful stories is so, so good. I’ve written a few of those books that really make me cry, but it’s often those books that end up having the most beautiful message and I am the most excited to let others read. So I really can’t wait! Do you have a tentative release date…[Read more]
@ellette-giselle I’m so glad you’re excited!! :3 And I’m certainly hoping it’s impactful💜
Hmmmm…no exact release date, as everything depends on getting some final steps done, including (but not limited to): finalizing a blurb/cover, getting it up on Amazon and getting a proof copy to look over (which the copy could take up to 2 weeks for me to…[Read more]
I’m so excited!!!!!!
I’m also looking at a spring 2025 release for the first book in my Saga! We’ll have to see who gets their book out first!
@ellette-giselle Ooh exciting!!
Oh my gosh Freedom!!! That’s awesome girl!! I’m so excited for you!!
And tysm for keeping us updated, I’ll be praying that the publishing and editing process goes smoothly. 🤍 I’m planning on getting Freedom’s Fire this month or for Christmas, I’m SO excited to read it🤩

yesssss, it's a roller coaster that's for sure😭
Awesome!! I’m so excited for you!!! I can’t wait!! ✨
I’m not sure if you’ve answered this before, but I was wondering why you chose self-publishing over traditional? I have nothing against it of course, I’m just curious. 😊
@esther-c Tysm, girl! <3
I went with self-publishing for a few reasons.
1. To have complete control over my novels, what I'm writing, etc.
2. To get more of an income from it (publishers take a LOT of the money when you publish your book simply bc of the agreement and the fact that they do most of the work).
3. Often, publishers make you sign a…[Read more]
Ok, interesting! Yeah, that does answer my question! 😊 I’ve considered self-publishing, but I think I’m gonna go with traditional. At least that’s what I’ve been thinking about and drawn to lately. Your reasoning totally makes sense though! <3
OH! And I wanted to let you know, I talked to someone who’s done publishing through Amazon and she says that you an get replacement copies if they mess up the formatting and send out the messed up books to people. I’m not exactly sure all the details and how that works with shipping or refunds, but I can talk to her again and get the info for you…[Read more]
@esther-c Best of luck to you with traditional publishing!💜
and wellllllll Amazon messed up the formatting for the actual document, so a replacement would (first come out of my pocket, Amazon doesn’t pay for replacements) but would be just as messed up anyhow simply bc the document itself was messed up because I didn’t know that Amazon’s paid…[Read more]
Thanks girl!! 🩷
Ughhh, that’s annoying 💀 But I suppose you live and learn. 🤷🏻♀️ At least you know for next time. :))
I’m so excited!!! And somewhat concerned for your poor characters. 😬 What are you doing to them?!
@theducktator Yay!!!! heh heh heh
they’ll be finnneeeeee
