Hi guys! So sorry for being mia recently and missing your posts and struggles with all these glitches!!

Imma try to get to the bottom of all these issues and get back to you once I make some progress. Continue to let me know of any other issues that arise…[Read more]

@rae

I’m going to pop in and give my tidbit (because that’s so much more fun than homework).

1. Some scenes need to be short, some long, depending on what’s being delt with. This one may be short, but it’s a good length for the subject.

2. No? It just felt like a wrap up description of Mandin/a scene conclusion/transition to whatever was coming…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

My advice as a middle-grade writer and a YA reader:

1. Stick as much as possible to inner turmoil. Instead of focusing on how much the outward character is being damaged, focus on how the inner character is coping/struggling/whatever.

2. Instead of portraying each individual blow/whatever, gloss it all together into a simple…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Concerned is an understatement.

I enjoyed this scene so much! I love that Riker helps him, if course, and that Leon accepts that help. I also really liked how specific yet clean the trigger and flashback were – it made sense, and conveyed the horror of the memory without giving me trauma.

There were two places where I would…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Okay, I’m back to finish going through your scene.

What are your thoughts on Aaron/Joash? Do you feel bad for them at all, or do they just seem like villains?

I understand them and what they are doing. While they don’t seem like total villains to me (I see them in both a realistic and historical context), I hate what they are…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Hi! I didn’t read through all your questions yet since I don’t have much time right now. I’ll try to come back and answer them. =)

Is Riker’s sudden panic/possible panic attack realistic? If not, does anyone that has experienced a panic attack have any pointers? (I’ve only been on the brink of one once…it was not fun&#…

This is tragic.

@keilah-h

Aww, thank you! I’m learning.

You guessed correctly! It’s Smalls as a youngling. I changed my profile pic in honor of Green Ember’s birthday back in December, but forgot to change it back. And now I like it. XD

Yes, they are wonderful books! It was actually Green Ember that made me want to write whole stories instead of random stuff…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Aww, thanks! They were a lot of fun.

You guessed correctly. 😉 It’s a drawing I did of Jupiter Smalls as a youngling. (He might be my favorite character.) I swapped my profile pic in honor of Green Ember‘s birthday back in December, but forgot to change it back.

@koshka @freed-and-redeemed @godlyfantasy12

I am so excited. XD I made working covers for all three volumes of Heirs of Ashes. And found a really bad quality image of my current reference illustration for Viktor and Alyona.

My first one had reeaaalllyyy small ears….

Now I should actually try to write that first volume….

Here’s a t…[Read more]

Ah, I love looking at y’all’s stuff! It’s fascinating to see everyone’s different styles, and helps get me inspired to do art again. 🙂

@freed_and_redeemed

They were…twins. I forgot…

Oh.

How could you?

@freed_and_redeemed

Pastor Nikolai Aleksandr Smirnov and MGB Agent Peter Dimitri Kuznetsov together as the MCs of a novel would be fabulous…I’m getting ideas already…oh no XXD

What?! Another book? Oh dear. XD

A quick side note: did you intend Alesandr and Dimitri to be middle names or were you referring to patronymics (the father’s (or other…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

His own book? Welp, that is the way it goes, isn’t it. XD

@freed_and_redeemed

*GASPETH*

Soviet Russia era Bible smugglers/underground churches?! EEEEEEEE…I am so happy.

Also, I adore the name Nikolai.

SD Smith quotes…

“Call me Master, child.”

“Yes Masterchild.”

“I’d go for Joe’s arm. He’s sensitive there and has to get it wrapped by the pretty doctors every day.”

“Hey!” Joe said “They make me. It’s not like I want to.”

“Semi-madness?” Emma laughed. “So he’s ahead of you on the madness scale. That’s good.”

“I waked up this…[Read more]

I apologize…aren’t breaking hearts what all writers are best at??? 💕😭😆

What?!! Of course not!!!!!! *Smirk*

@freed_and_redeemed

Ooof. It’s so hard to pick a favorite character. XD Especially when I haven’t actually read the book book yet.

As you know, I do like Leon. He was my first favorite, when I first met them. He also reminds me of other characters I have long adored (Natan Israeli, Judah Ben-Hur). At times I don’t enjoy his arc very much,…[Read more]
