I love your new profile picture!!! Did you draw that?

Thank you!

No, I did not draw this one. It’s from a comic strip called ‘Customer Service Wolf’ that I recently discovered. As someone who works in retail, I found it relatable and funny.

@savannah_grace2009

Okay. Don’t worry, I didn’t think she had become is is on the path to becoming a Pythonos at this point.

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

I say go for it! The memory loss thing is good, and the fact that he tries to join the Kunulfs. It separates it from WF. Plus, Andrew Peterson pulled a Beauty and the Beast to begin with. There’s not a romance, but trust me, there are plenty of similarities. And beauty and the beast pulled from the Bible. (see D…

Didn’t Sef turn herself in so they wouldn’t take her mother instead?

@savannah_grace2009

Sorry, I made it up to where Sef turns herself into the Pythonos and they mark her, but haven’t touched it for a while and keep on forgetting to do so. I’ll try to read more soon!

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

And here is my first question for you:

Eric’s Wolf Plotline

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

A short introduction to Book II:

Title: The Narrow Path Trilogy: Book II – The Sword

Brief Plot Idea:

‘You may be done with magic, but magic isn’t done with you’

Alan is a wizard more powerful than any other. Once, Alan would have desired it, but now it is only a curse to him. The magic of Ehverwyld is twisted…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

ah, I see! What game?

I don’t think it would be your thing. It’s a high fantasy 4X board game called ‘Heroes of Land, Air, and Sea.’ Think World fo Warcraft-type fantasy. It’s a game that takes 2-3, sometimes 4 hours to play.

@ellette-giselle

(I’m guessing you like boats and wolves?)

Wolves definitely are my favourite animal, this may or may not be evident in my writing. (More on that later.)

The boat thing was more of a joke. I a board game I play with my friends, there is an option to build sea vessels, but it is rarely done. On the occasion it does happen, it is a…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Tis Febuary. I will now start working on my outline. Not sure how long it will take. It looks like only you two plus my sister will be following this. But that is fine. Three is plenty for this stage, so I might just cap it off here anyway. I will let you know if I need any thoughts/ideas as I go. Thank you for…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Book 3 time!

So it’s Leon and Julian then. (Unless you suddenly decide you want to switch to Quin for the next chapter.)

(I wonder how much of the book you can guess by looking at the aesthetic!!)

War? War. Boat! Wolves! Snow. Orphans…

Never to return.

Ominus…

But yeah, just thought I’d give everyone a “trigger war…

@the_lost-journal

Sounds fun. I would be curious to know how she acquired immorality.

@ellette-giselle

Last I counted I was at 69 full length novel drafts.

Wooph!

@whalekeeper

Wouldn’t it be nice if we all had identical brains? (It wouldn’t, but it would at least be practical.)

If this were the case, then we would all be writing meaningful stories about boys whose dogs and mother die. (Really meaningful)

@theshadow

I’m going to kind of repeat what other people have said. Get to know your characters better.  Often when I’m stuck and I don’t know what characters would do but have an idea of where I want/need them to go, I will quickly make up a list showing the thoughts in each character’s heads like this:

Brother

• Really would like some ice…

@ellette-giselle

So, before I ever begin to write I pray. I write down the idea in my prayer journal and say, “Lord, here’s my idea. If you want me to write this book, give me the rest of the story” and He does.

This is really good. I need to do this more. And one of the major themes of book two of TNPT is trusting God!

8 drafts per book? Phew!…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I don’t think I’m quite the person to ask. I tend to hyperfocus on a single project and put any other story ideas to the back of my mind for later. I’ve only ever written two first drafts, and that was some time ago. So I am lacking experience in this area. (Looks like Ellette has you covered here though. @ellette-giselle, how many…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @keilah-h @whalekeeper

I’ve done something similar once before when I worked on this, so I do have some idea of what I’m doing. (I think I’ve shown you this one before). It turned out all right, so I might eventually convert that cover idea I shared. Maybe I will make it my next drawing to protect if I have the time after I…[Read more]

@grcr

You’ve certainly improved a lot!
