Congratulations on your third win!

Jonathan’s clothing looks more professional than what I picked up from his description. I imagined him dressed casually in a tee-shirt.

@theductator

A request for when you submit your description. When I created this challenge, I intended it to help authors develop their ability to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yes, still interested. Keep it coming, and I will keep on trying to find time to give you at least some feedback.

This became a time of deep anxiety, for it was rumored that the governor would not only bring tighter rule, but he would separate the people and send some away to the villages and towns left deserted by the war.

@ellette-giselle

By the way do you remember mentioning that you had a friend who tried to make an account but couldn’t end up getting on here? The same thing happened to me, and after waiting around for two months, I finally contacted them through Facebook and they figured out that there was a glitch in their system and were able to look at it a…

Yes, Ducktator is the only one currently in line. Freedom, you can go next after her.

@mineralizedwritings

Here is my version of Jonathan. He looks younger than I intended. Sorry, it is not coloured, not cleaned up, and some of the lines are a little crude.

@ellette-giselle

That was so scathing yet grateful that I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. lolololol.

Most of that was just for fun to get you back for your reaction to the way I imagined Turin. If I had told you in person, I would have probably been grinning mischievously the whole time, so don’t worry about it.

I was board. That’s what you…

@theshadow

Just read your chapter. I have a couple of things for you.

Firstly, some things about your introduction. I think your intro paragraph to the chapter may be unnecessary. Why? Because soon after, you show us many of these problems in the hushed whispers of the peasants.

Blossom Town’s suffering had only grown worse. The farmers b…

As my imagination for Turin was off, your illustration of Alan is off. The clothing is wrong. I base my clothing on the mid-late 19th-century styles and add some fantasy elements. This Alan looks like he came out of Lord of the Rings! Alan wears a scarf, not a cape! Also, the hair! This does not look black and feathery! It does…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Just a heads up, the drawing I submit may not be as finished as some of the others I have done. I procrastinated and then got busy with school and work. I will post what I do manage to get done on here tomorrow.

@ellette-giselle

Remember that time I imagined Turin with a beard?

@keilah-h @whalekeeper

Thank you both. I need to go and develop my own style more.

@ellette-giselle

I read your chapter. I like it a lot, though Eric is not my kinda guy. 😂

Ouch.

If you dislike Eric now, I want you to know that this is the new and improved version of the character. Yup, in the first draft, he was even worse. He had more point-of-view chapters, each filled with him complaining about the same thing (you would…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ugh, your going to make me spoil the whole thing, are you? It has been a while since I read the final book, but, without giving too much away, here are the lessons that the book leaves the reader with:

Just because you aren’t perfect doesn’t mean you can be a hero. You may have flaws (like small, not very powerful Smedry…[Read more]

Chapter the 16th – The Artist

I will try to get you Chapter the 17th – The Rebel next week, but since I start work and school, no promises. I will send it out in two weeks at the latest, so you can hold me accountable to that deadline.

@ellette-giselle

Sorry, I had not seen your post until now. Gmail decided to throw out the notification again. Alcatraz is one of my favourite book series. I think I have only listened to some of the dramatizations for the second book.

@whalekeeper

I’m sorry for being kind of sarcastic, I was very moody at the time of writing that post.

I forgive you. I feel I was being a bit harsh in my initial response as well.

You also have a point about including more God in everyday life. I tend to fall into tunnel vision or divided over-stimulation, and consciously including too much i…

I am attempting to improve my skills in digital art. I can’t claim complete ownership of this piece of artwork, because I stole a base from Nickolas Kole and mimicked his style. (Artist of the covers for the second edition of The Wingfeather Saga). Shading I learned from Monika Zagroblena (she has a really great tutorial website for drawing…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

 Have you seen the movie? (Courageous) If not, you really should. It’s pretty amazing. So is the movie Fireproof, which is my all time favorite that they’ve done. Followed closely by Facing The Giants, and War Room.

Yes, I have seen all the Kendrick Brothers movies, except The Forge (But that only just came into theatres). To be h…[Read more]
