Ah. Not sure what version I like better. Gravitating towards the one I already know, but only because it is familiar.

This is the version we sing at our church. Is it the same one your church uses?

Any thoughts on that? Do you think it’s good that it’s just back to Leon and Jul…

How long, oh Lord, how long
Will this go on, go on?
How long, oh Lord, how long
Will this go on, go on?

Was this song inspired by Psalm 13? We have a similar hymn we sing at out church inspired by that Psalm.

So they are headed back now. I guess they couldn’t hide in the mountains forever. I think you chose just the right moment…[Read more]

Chapter 25 out!

I don’t think I want this to be James. This is too similar to Eric. Both characters feel unappreciated, and grow depressed because they don’t fit in and feel. The only thing different is James has hope in The Saviour so he’s less self centered and is more outgoing.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Wow. This has always been a favorite section of mine but, i must know, why did you say that? What makes this one stand out so much?a

The chase. Most of the time, when soldiers show up, we realize that this is it. For example, when Joseph and his family were arrested. We know there is only a slim chance of escape before they are…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I have to say, this was probably one of the most exciting sections I’ve ever read in this series.

Julian, Ernst, Rolf, and Walter have gone out hunting today.

Not Roland? I know he just got married, but that man loves hunting, and its not like he’s going on a honeymoon right now. They should at least invite him to be…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Two deaths and a wedding. That sounds like a book title all on its own. It’s nice to have a happy moment to balance out the tragedy of the deaths.

“I’m starving! I feel like I haven’t eaten in days. Wake up Julian, let’s go find breakfast.”

Plot Armour!

(No, don’t think you need to change this. Plot armour is inevitabl…[Read more]

Hey guys (well you’re mostly gals).

Well, there still are some of us guys hiding around.

Would you be interested in a goal-focused chat where we practice our individual writing skills and chat about our progress?

Sure!

@ellette-giselle

Ugh. I kingdom pen didn’t let me know about the section yesterday and I forgot to check.

Question out of curiosity: How do you decide if the journal entries you share should be from either Leon or Julian? Some authors may try to give an even number for both characters, but you seem to have some sort of method for choosing…[Read more]

Chapter 24!

@ellette-giselle

It’s as if Rome was in Germany. So, a lot of good roads and cities and towns along those roads. However, if you get away from the roads, it’s pretty open. However, Rolf is referring to the idea that just about anyone they encounter is most likely an enemy, plus they are being hunted by the army.

Okay.

@ellette-giselle

Why did this section make me think of The Sound of Music?

Two more weeks passed and then came another fall of snow.

These one sentence time skips aren’t bad, I just have a habit of missing them and then getting confused. Bad habit, that.  The whole escape happened so fast and I kept missing things that I had no idea why they…[Read more]

Chapter 23!

@ellette-giselle

“I wonder what they’re doing,” he muttered. He began to wonder how the villagers planned to kill them, and a shudder ran down his spine.

This looks like the sort of thing you type ‘2’ at in my stuff.

Good-bye, Aelic.

Not sense Aaron and Adrian have I seen anyone die with such courage,”

*Since

Rejoice with Him, O heavens…

@ellette-giselle

🙄 Ugh.

But why? 😭

I wanna do whatever I want. I is the author.

Do you have your Literary Licence from Bagsworth Books like Bastille?

Does this mean you think they’re gonna get out of this one alive?

I think so. It’s still early in the book. You could kill them all off and switch to a different character at this point as the p…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

why?

For the reason Leon mentioned. Reflexes happening faster than recognition.

The next morning, Julian woke to the sound of voices and banging. He leapt to his feet and yanked on his boots. Leon was already pulling on his hat and beat him into the other room.

When Julian arrived, he found Martin, Aelic, Leon, and Aiden all…

@elishavet-pidyon

Those horse hooves look very good. I like the perspective and the shading in the picture. You also have a good sense of motion in there.

@whalekeeper

Your welcome! Let me know when you finish it please!

@ellette-giselle

So, the five set off for Dietenbruck.

I think you are pacing this well for a return journey

“If I was an enemy, you’d both be dead,” a voice laughed softly from behind.

Leon and Julian whipped about to see Aelic standing in the shadows.

Sneaky. But not wise.

Good section!
