Two deaths and a wedding. That sounds like a book title all on its own. It’s nice to have a happy moment to balance out the tragedy of the deaths.

Hey guys (well you’re mostly gals).

Well, there still are some of us guys hiding around.

Would you be interested in a goal-focused chat where we practice our individual writing skills and chat about our progress?

Sure!

@ellette-giselle

Ugh. I kingdom pen didn’t let me know about the section yesterday and I forgot to check.

Question out of curiosity: How do you decide if the journal entries you share should be from either Leon or Julian? Some authors may try to give an even number for both characters, but you seem to have some sort of method for choosing…[Read more]

Chapter 24!

@ellette-giselle

It’s as if Rome was in Germany. So, a lot of good roads and cities and towns along those roads. However, if you get away from the roads, it’s pretty open. However, Rolf is referring to the idea that just about anyone they encounter is most likely an enemy, plus they are being hunted by the army.

Okay.

@ellette-giselle

Why did this section make me think of The Sound of Music?

Two more weeks passed and then came another fall of snow.

These one sentence time skips aren’t bad, I just have a habit of missing them and then getting confused. Bad habit, that.  The whole escape happened so fast and I kept missing things that I had no idea why they…[Read more]

Chapter 23!

@ellette-giselle

“I wonder what they’re doing,” he muttered. He began to wonder how the villagers planned to kill them, and a shudder ran down his spine.

This looks like the sort of thing you type ‘2’ at in my stuff.

Good-bye, Aelic.

Not sense Aaron and Adrian have I seen anyone die with such courage,”

Rejoice with Him, O heavens…

@ellette-giselle

🙄 Ugh.

But why? 😭

I wanna do whatever I want. I is the author.

Do you have your Literary Licence from Bagsworth Books like Bastille?

Does this mean you think they’re gonna get out of this one alive?

I think so. It’s still early in the book. You could kill them all off and switch to a different character at this point as the p…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

why?

For the reason Leon mentioned. Reflexes happening faster than recognition.

The next morning, Julian woke to the sound of voices and banging. He leapt to his feet and yanked on his boots. Leon was already pulling on his hat and beat him into the other room.

When Julian arrived, he found Martin, Aelic, Leon, and Aiden all…

@elishavet-pidyon

Those horse hooves look very good. I like the perspective and the shading in the picture. You also have a good sense of motion in there.

@whalekeeper

Your welcome! Let me know when you finish it please!

@ellette-giselle

So, the five set off for Dietenbruck.

I think you are pacing this well for a return journey

“If I was an enemy, you’d both be dead,” a voice laughed softly from behind.

Leon and Julian whipped about to see Aelic standing in the shadows.

Sneaky. But not wise.

Good section!

@whalekeeper @stephie @theducktator @ellette-giselle @keilah-h

Chapter 22 out!

@ellette-giselle

It’s the gang, y’all. The same gang from last book. The same gang we left at the end of the last book and are now picking up and the beginning of the next.
Do I really gotta remind the reader?

Yes, because some of us are too stoopid to remember. Also, I thought some of them might have gone separate ways, which can often happen in…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @stephie @theducktator @ellette-giselle @keilah-h

Chapter 21 out! Not too happy with this one. I’ve discovered I don’t like to write fight scenes.

@ellette-giselle

Sorry I’m late. I spent a long time yesterday finishing up a final assignment. But I’m done school for at least a year now!

It was a bittersweet parting the next day, and Leon and Julian found it more difficult to leave Landstraten now than when they had left on their way to the capital.

Who all is with them right now? You have…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Why do you ask?

Okay. You’re view on end times could impact where this story goes. For example, some Christian believe that over time, the world will get better and we ought to get involved with politics and things like that to make a Christendom. Others might believe it would be nice if our government became Christian, but don’t…[Read more]

Not really. I’ve been trying to learn, but it hasn’t been my priority.

One website that might be helpful is this one: https://monikazagrobelna.com/
