Okay, another question for all of you. I’m wondering if Alan would even return to the abandoned village. After he escapes the prison, he starts heading there since he has nowhere else to go in the moment, but then it occurs to him that the Wizards will probably look for him there. His friends are in…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Well that is exactly how you should picture him! Bravo! 👏🏻

Wow. That’s like… a first for me.

I thought about having a POV for him….. but that will start fracturing into lots of POVs and the question will be, “Why Rolf over Aelic and Roland?” and then I’ll have five POVs going.

Yup. Well, no need to go into Rolf’s head.…

@ellette-giselle @theducktator @whalekeeper

All right. Thank you for your thoughts. I might try the first draft with the henchmen, and if I don’t like them, I can pull them out later.

Acctually, the sarcastic henchmen who always wonder how they ended up with their job are some of the henchmen I like, but I don’t think that fits TNPT, so I’ll see…[Read more]

Leon’s prayer at the beginning was what I was expecting to be going through Rolf’s head instead, then Leon being the one who encourages as he has gone through so much more. I was supprised when it was reversed!

I’m not convinced by Julian telling Dian the gospel in that moment. Both before and after, he is caught in grief over…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I feel like I’ve heard that song before, but I can’t tell if I actually have or if it is just similar to another song I’ve heard before. I can see why you waited to post this until after Rolf and Leon were captured. It fits much more now that that happened.

I remember reading the book in the first meme you posted. It’s called All…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Wow, that’s messed up. At least you all had the support of your class.

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper @stephie

Thank you!

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @theducktator

Hey, quick question. I’m considering giving Iskyagus some primary henchmen. Characters like Mai and Ty Lee in Avatar, or Kallus and Ruku in Star Wars Rebels. Kind of some other wizards who are just under him. I’m trying to decide whether or not I like the idea. I often find these types of characters a…[Read more]

Just so the two of you know, I will be taking down the link for the second draft of TNPT at the end of this month. If you cannot finish reading it in that time, don’t worry about it. I can recruit you again when I get to the third draft.

@ellette-giselle

For some reason I started to imagine Hassan as Middle Eastern when you mentioned his name. Probably wearing a turban of sorts.

The men forced him to his feet and dragged his arms up and apart, lashing them to the branches.

So, it’s basically crucifixion, except you don’t get the nails, and you get to stand on the ground. That’s…[Read more]

*promptly rescues Leon and Rolf, gives them new identities so they can hide from you and they disappear into the city* 
*straps on several guns and bolts. Snatches Alec and slams him against the wall.*

Girls are weird.

@ellette-giselle

 Things are about to get bad.

Ooooh

@stephie

Thank you!

@whalekeeper
Thank you! Maybe I should have tucked Alan’s elbow under the gate.

@keilah-h
Thanks for the tip on arm length!

@ellette-giselle

A man had Rolf in a tight grip, the point of a knife to his back. “Don’t move,” he growled at Leon.

Oh…!

Leon started in surprise. The robbers were being robbed!

There’s always a bigger fish.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

He motioned to two of his men, and they dragged Leon to his feet. “I will kill you both,”…

@keilah-h

Okay. You kind of confirmed my suspicions (room for improvement 👍), but I’m glad Alan’s arms look fine to you. Thank you!

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @theducktator

I threw together a 9-point outline for Martha as well, since she will be a major point of view character in this book as well. It’s not quite complete, such as I’m not really sure what to do for her amplified pressure. But here is what I have so…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Actually, you know what would be funny? If one of the guys’ minds went in the same direction as mine and said something like ‘Yes, mom’ to Julian. And then, he would be stuck with that nickname for the rest of the story.

@ellette-giselle

 If he was joking would it work?

I think so. Make Aelic respond with another joke as well. Even if it just making a funny expression and saying “Ah”

Sure thing! I’ll wait until they’re published. 😉

Sounds good!

@hybridlore

In Canada, do you have the same guaranteed rights as in the US’s Constitution? I’m assuming it’s very similar. Freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc.?

Yes, we do have the same rights, but that doesn’t stop teachers from grading things based on what you write about instead of the actual quality of writi…[Read more]
