I would mostly agree with what other people are saying, but not quite. It is going to be easier to fit in more characters if you have a series over a stand-alone. However, I have read a few series that were long, but still had too many characters. Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time was an example of this as well as the graphic novel…[Read more]

To say I didn’t know the minute Alan’s father made the plan would be lying.

I knew he was going to get caught.

Yeah, I suppose it was clear that would happen. Do you think it is too obvious?

Then I think it will flow much better for Alan,l and it totally makes sense for his character and fits very well.

Give him a different tra…

@whalekeeper

Sorry. I don’t have any recommendations. I’m terrible when it comes to researching things myself. I could maybe ask my dad. He’s big into history.

@ellette-giselle

Leon turned to Joseph and pressed something into his hand. “This is for you, from Sabina.”

I was kind of expecting it to take longer for a response to come in. But this isn’t a pacing issue this time. It’s fine we got one so quickly and I was happy to see it.

I took the boy’s hand and told the soldiers he was my son, and I would…

Question for you after you read the section above (do not, I repeat, do not read this before).

Spaces to help hide the contents:

I already started working on the next chapter and realized that Alan’s reaction to the events in the previous chapter…[Read more]

Next chapter.

I’m trying to come up with a name for the village The Faithful find. Any suggestion?

Also, Ellette, I have included a sample of a casual conversation between guys. This can give you some ideas for some casual conversation for your male…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Looks good. This will definitely help it not to feel too fast.

At that moment, the door crashed open. Ezra jumped, and Joseph started to his feet, gripping the arm of his chair so tightly his hands went white.

“Hello father! I didn’t expect you home so soon!” Quin exclaimed as he bounded into the room.

Didn’t your mother teach…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

But I was thinking… Maybe I… uhh… unofficially quit KP?

I’m sorry to hear that. Well, thank you for the potatoes! That was fun and ironically accurate. I am also looking forward to the conclusion of your story!

Two snowballs? Not fair!

I would throw back a lot of snow, but for some reason, it’s warm here in Canada, and our snow is melting (I think it’s 6°C today)

Okay, here we go.

Once upon a time, there was a boy. The boy, like many boys, was named John. And like many boys, he liked building snowmen. However, he had a…

My brother would go for that banana without waiting.

I’d eat either of the bottom two.

@ellette-giselle

hey, has your sister tried to start an account here?
we have a new member called Mountain Maiden, but her profile is empty. No picture, no bio, no background, no posts. I tried messaging her but never got an answer, I was wondering if that was your sis and her welcome email went to spam or something. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nope, not her,…[Read more]

@theshadow @stephie @ellette-giselle @grcr

Thank you to you all, Ellie appreciates it!

@ellette-giselle

*sobbing because I feel overwhelmed.*

Sorry…

Okay. I get it. You’re right.

Again.

Hey, you make it sound like I’m a know-it-all author and am rarely wrong. That is not the case. You have corrected me a few times. And you should see the amount of changes between my first and second drafts because of all the things that were n…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Okay Linus, now I’m mad.

I do what I can. *smiles smugly*

I KNEW IT! I knew he was going to try to convince Alan to go back to magic, I just didn’t know why, or that it was such a big deal!

You have me a little panicked and thoroughly intrigued.You foretold this well and set the stage in a solid and intriguing way. Well done on…

All right, ladies. Time to head into the last section of chapters in this book. What do you say we spice things up a bit?

Chapter the 27th – The King

Also, I should warn you, this is the longest chapter I have ever written.

@ellette-giselle

Yeah, you tell him. (I find it so funny that our characters have similar traits and struggles. I was totally thinking of your Eric when I was editing this scene.)

This is not the last time this is going to happen. Well as they say, ‘great minds think alike.’ Or as my dad says, ‘Fools of a feather flock together’.

Okay, do I really…

@whalekeeper

Happy American Thanksgiving to you!

Well done with the art! I don’t know the characters, but get a good sense of their personality from it. Your lines are nice and clean, and you have done a good job of shading them.

@ellette-giselle

No, not the same Andrew. (How did you remember him? I even forgot that was the other guy’s name. lol.) Should I change the name in the first book? That Andrew was an older teen, while this Andrew is like nine or ten.

When I reread your book, I remember coming across him and wondering who he was supposed to be and why you were i…[Read more]

“And these are my children. The youngest is Beth, and following are Elise, Andrew, Quinlan, Ruth, Amelia, Stephen and David.” – Book II

Aaron glanced up at him. “Hello Andrew, how are you doing?” he asked, motioning to the ground beside him.

Andrew sat down. He was a few years younger then Aaron, but he was just as tall. He…
