Seems like Leon takes some pride in his strength. I wounder if he is not just working for the glory of God anymore, but also to prove he still can.

“Oh yes,” Caleb replied. “As good a master as any slave could want! He is just and kind. We are almost free here. We do the work required–– which is a fair amount–– and then we are f…

Okay, the prologue is out now. I’m a bit missy with the point of view in there, but I am trying not to care right now.

If you encounter ${  } in my writing, this just means that I am using a placeholder.

Now I need to go shovel.

@theducktator, did you send an access request? I haven’t seen anything yet.

@theducktator @ellette-giselle

Yeah, but the other reason to do it is to refresh the reader’s memory of the previous book. Notice that while Alcatraz complains about it, he still does it. The trick is to include it naturally instead of going out of your way to do it. So I hope to find a way to do that.

I think I will just stick with people who…[Read more]

Cole texting Sara, and then her dismissing it.

@keilah-h

Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Alan and the group!

Oh… just you wait. There are things. Also stuff.

@theducktator

Yes, that’s it!

@whalekeeper

Okay. Thinking about it, I think Alan does tend to get traumatized from what happened when his father Shattered. Thank you!

@ellette-giselle

Lololol. We must remember that I wrote that when I was much younger and wasn’t fully sure where I stood… 😂 

Ah, yes.

The fire thing was actually one of my favorite memories!! I want to write a book about it sometime. (I’d like to write about the whole experience of having church during COVID. There were so many cool things that h…

@theshadow

What exactly is contemporary writing? Books that come to mind when I hear this and the projects you are describing are Swallows and Amazons, The Moffats, and one more book I can’t remember the name of where two children discover a hidden town by a lake during summer holidays. (All I remember is that the boy has braces, which remind…[Read more]

@theshadow

Okay, I’m back now. Your latest chapter looks good! And so, the adventure begins…

Looking forward to the next part and seeing what these woods are like!

@ellette-giselle

Our church fought two fires during COVID.

Yikes!

@ellette-giselle

ack. I felt like there was something off about what he was saying, but I was looking for grammar and spelling over content. 😂

Okay, good. I know you are a Calvinist as well, so I was confused why you had that in.

Then I chose this. So, all that to say…. does it work? Or was a lie the only way he could have done it? (I know you s…

I read your latest section. It was good! I left you a few comments on the file. I feel like Cole is going to start getting a little more involved soon.

@ellette-giselle

Okay, I’m back now!

So, keilah likes the scene that you have a problem with, linus! This is great. 🤣

Here’s an idea. What if I shift it a little so that the conversation happened a day or two after they had already been on the ship? Do you think that would work?

That would definitely work better, giving Julian some time to c…[Read more]

I read your latest chapter, but don’t have time to comment on it today. That may be the case until Thursday. Don’t worry about waiting for me, you can keep posting more stuff if you have any.

@ellette-giselle
I read your latest section, but don’t have time to comment on it today. All I can say is that I liked it (in the same sort of way I have liked your other sections recently) That may be the case until Thursday. Don’t worry about me, you can keep posting more stuff.

My two of my mom’s guy friends were killed through that game when she was a teenager.

Yikes! That’s scary

@ellette-giselle

Understandable.

I have also just considered making up a world with my friends and doing our own fantasy RPG in it.
