Alan, must you do something stupid????😩 This is so not going to end well.
No. But don’t we all do stupid things anyway?

Also, I love the map! I don’t know, something about maps of fantasy worlds just gets at me. *Smiles dreamily, looking back towards The Lord of the Rings* I also like the name Huntt for a town; it just seems to fit.
I love the map!!!
Thanks, both of you! One of these days, I will actually make the up-to-date version.

I hope that helps! 🙂
Yes it does, thank you! I will come back to this later and come up with some ideas.

By the way, how did native-to-Earth animals get to Ehverwyld? I can see the otherworldly animals like vandergrits and dragons having been there since that world’s creation, but what about the crows and horses, etc.? Did they come through the same portals that humans did, but by sheer accident? Or were they created there (Like God just k…

good. Good! I’m so glad this scene works well! “touch down Tulip!!” (Storks if you haven’t scene the movie that quite come from)
Have seen that, but it’s been a while. (5 more minutes, and then we stop!)
I’m surprised there was no comment on the Julian/Joseph conversation.
was it good? Does it fit?Think so. It makes sense that…[Read more]

that’s what (frustratingly) keeps me from being able to say this scene doesn’t work.
Part of my mission as an author is to get Christians to consider things they wouldn’t normally do and to think about them. Now that Alan’s joined The Faithful, we are starting to get into this. (Once I am done with this draft, I will write up a…[Read more]

Thank you for the feedback!
Why does the crow seem to be sentient? Why does it want him to use the magic? Is this something all crows do or just this one?
I can only answer the last question. This is unusual behaviour for a crow in Ehverwyld. Most of their crows are just like ours. Smart for birds, but not sentient.
Who is Iskyagus?…

So, Joseph deftly avoided contact with her, and the days dragged into eternity.
Not an easy task since they are living in the same house. No wonder it felt like an eternity.
Eric says to tell you that he is sure he’s taller than you.
A great accomplishment.
Let’s see, he said he used proverbs, especially 31, he used Timothy, Titu…

Good to know. Thanks, Keilah!

Also, thank you for saying something again. I was growing a little worried that no one other than Ellette was still reading since she has been the only one to respond for the past few chapters. So I’m glad to know you are still reading!

Let’s be honest. This wasn’t surprising, was it? Rour warned you several times.
You can successfully torture your readers.
It’s part of the job.
What do you think of Alan’s logic for deciding to go back?
Just met the second crow, but I’m pausing to call something.
I think it’s his mother.
Maybe.
Maybe indeed, Ell…[Read more]

So basically role playing Among Us, but you don’t know if you are the imposter or not? That’s sus.
Thank you for the invitation, but I think I will sit this one out. I won’t be able to participate much once school comes back in full swing, and right now, I would like to focus on finishing the second draft of my WIP. I hope it…[Read more]

“We’ve become the church’s messenger service,” Julian added with a chuckle.
How much do these guys travel in a week?
Hah! linus-smallprint and I called it!! 😆
Yup. Totally called that.
I think @hybridlore has a good point. Joseph also mentioned in the letter that he has been studying this subject, so we know he’s doing it. Hyb…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @stephie @keilah-h @theducktator @loopylin @theshadow @whalekeeper
Here is the next chapter. Are you ready? Things are about to get darker.
Another thing. My school courses are finishing up so I have more time to write again! My goal is to get you the epilogue by the end of the year.

Yeah, that’s pretty much why I still watch it. Nostalgia, plus to cringe at the recent seasons :p
Cristalized wasn’t good, but Dragons Rising is not bad… except… I really don’t like the direction they are taking with Cole. I know it’s not official yet, but they are stepping as close to the line as they possibly can wi…[Read more]

Hot take (actually this is more of an unknown take): Sons of Garmadon and Hunted were great seasons for Cole specifically.
I haven’t actually watched either of these seasons all the way through. I know they are considered some of the best of Ninjago, and from what I know of them, Lloyd is pushed through some very interesting cha…[Read more]

Welcome back! Oh, part 4!
The story teller threw the book onto the pile he had made and sat there, wandering what he was to do.
Wondering what he was to do?

Well there was Master of the Mountian and Day of the Departed (but Day of the Departed wasn’t great. Cole acted more like Kai in it and the story didn’t really make sense.)

The woman wiped her eyes with the corner of her skirt and took in several breaths before continuing in a steadier voice. “When I came here, I hoped there would be more freedom to worship as this town is so much smaller. But all I could see was evil. It was everywhere, and… and I almost gave up hope. Then, yesterday, this young…

I don’t know. I see that stuff really fast, but it might just be me. Do you want it to come as a shock?
It doesn’t need to be a shock. It might be fine then.
Those are my two guesses, but they both have problems.
Okay. I will say your second one is incorrect (remember, I told you earlier that I am trying to avoid demonic el…[Read more]
