Chapter 22 out!
Sometimes it is necessary to paint the sky black in order to see the stars.
It’s the gang, y’all. The same gang from last book. The same gang we left at the end of the last book and are now picking up and the beginning of the next.
Do I really gotta remind the reader?Yes, because some of us are too stoopid to remember. Also, I thought some of them might have gone separate ways, which can often happen in between books in a series.
Y’all, this book is rough.
Rough as in violent, or rough as in not turning out the way you hoped it would? Guess I will find out.
…
…
… defiantly violent rough, yup.Their Lieutenant, Philipp Roth, stepped through their small encampment, checking tents here and there, and asking how the men fared.
…
“Cold,” Kurt added, his teeth chattering.
I know Hans, but who are these two?
The c commander was smiling down at Philipp
Extra ‘c’.
With that last breath, Lieutenant Philipp Roth sealed his faith with blood.
Yikes!
I was expecting at least one of them to survive. Though at the same time, knowing you, part of me expected them to all die as well.
It is very unusual to go to a side character as a point of view character, just to kill them off right away. Though I have scene it done before, in prologues, as a way to establish the threat the character faces when you don’t want the character to encounter it until later. Would this section perhaps work better as a prologue?
(Note: If this does become a prologue, this doesn’t mean you have to come up with one for every single book. I’ve seen series where only some of the books have prologues. But the decision of whether to prologue it or not is up to you.)

Chapter 21 out! Not too happy with this one. I’ve discovered I don’t like to write fight scenes.

Sorry I’m late. I spent a long time yesterday finishing up a final assignment. But I’m done school for at least a year now!
It was a bittersweet parting the next day, and Leon and Julian found it more difficult to leave Landstraten now than when they had left on their way to the capital.
Who all is with them right now? You have yet to remind us of that.
Julian raised an eyebrow. “I’m not too sure if I want people reading my journal.”
Too late, buddy.
“The history of how the Empire came to receive the light of Christ,” Johannes replied soberly. “We must not let them destroy the truth. The Empire needs to remember her past.”
Nice! Good section.
Sometimes it is necessary to paint the sky black in order to see the stars.
Why do you ask?
Okay. You’re view on end times could impact where this story goes. For example, some Christian believe that over time, the world will get better and we ought to get involved with politics and things like that to make a Christendom. Others might believe it would be nice if our government became Christian, but don’t take it for granted. So I was curious where you might stand on end times to get a better idea of how much of a shock the prince’s death was to your characters.
Stien siblings. Landstraten church. They were the family Aelic, Roland, and Julian were with when Rolf and Leon caught up to them. I think if you read 3 through and then picked up book 4 without the breaks and talking and discussion it would make more sense. We are playing book 3 backwards, so to speak.
Ah.
Again?
Joseph in book 2.

Not really. I’ve been trying to learn, but it hasn’t been my priority.
One website that might be helpful is this one: https://monikazagrobelna.com/
This lady is an insane digital artist, so don’t expect to be as good as her or you will only get discouraged. (Unless you are actually able to pull it off. That would be amazing!) But she has a series of four tutorials designed for beginners. She uses the software called Sketchbook.
Here are her four beginner tutorials if you are interested:

Ugh. Kingdom Pen decided not to tag me, but I checked anyway because I remembered you saying yesterday that you would have something to post today. And good thing I did! I will have to remember to check myself if I don’t get a notification email.
Anyway… Book!
Not only have we lost two dear friends in Marius and Prince Dietrich, but we have lost the heir to the Empire’s throne!
This may seem like an odd question, but what is your view on end times?
Erichand his wife Helene.
Aelic really seems to come alive around Hue
Trying to remember who the people I underlined are.
Leon sighed. “Then why do I feel so guilty?”
“Maybe because of those who chose to stay,” Julian replied, quietly. “I feel it to, Leon. Yes, we’re warning the other churches, but anyone could have done that. We were the ones who led those churches, and now we’ve turned and run at the first sign of real trouble.”
Ah, the comparison game again.
A fine first section. I like how Joseph was mentioned again. I guess we will see where this goes.

Any ideas/thoughts/predictions?!
Not at the moment, though hybridlore made some interesting observations with the mask

First off, I love that Linus is like,”wait a month to start the next book.”
I finally convince him that I should start it sooner…….
1 month later……….
It happens.
Anyone who cringed at the writing of the last three books, (a.k.a. me) prepare to cringe more. 😭
Looking back on my own work is one of the cringiest things I have done.
But remember, write for the Glory of God. Sola Deo Gloria. If it starts to become cringe, remember that it’s not about you, it’s about Christ. And he will use what you write to His glory! Jesu juva.
Oooh. Moodboard.
Lots of wolves it there. It looks like you reused several pictures from last time. But less this time as well.

I did the survey. My answers will probably be under my real name: Justin.

Yes, I did get those comments. Thank you! I’ve been a little busy lately finishing up final assigments, so I wasn’t able to get to replying to them until now.Sometimes it is necessary to paint the sky black in order to see the stars.
