Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

@rae

How’s the editing going so far? I bet you’re super tired by now. XD

@rae @ellette-giselle I’m glad you guys were able to work something out!! I’ve just self-published every time I finished a book, but I have a book on writing and it talks about how to get a publisher, and I was like “wow, this is…..really complicated. Do we really need to do all this?”

@ellette-giselle ikr? Cats are either the sweetest or little terrors, and there isn’t really an in between lol

@ellette-giselle so cute!!

lol

@ellette-giselle

What is Jonathan’s arc supposed to be?

I just watched Animation vs. Minecraft, and it was super wholesome, I loved it

@whalekeeper I get that lol. I’m pretty chill when it comes to Minecraft too.

…And here I am, praising the game and not talking about Alan Becker. XD I still haven’t watched. Next chance I get, probably this week.

I think some YouTubers make Minecraft way too loud and showy. My brothers watch competitive YouTubers and I’ve never caught on to that. The game by itself is much more impactful.

Minecraft is the kind of thing I never thought I’d enjoy. But one day it clicked. I think the combination of the music and graphics have the same uncanny feel as old memories. Pieces of the world make sense, but much of it is random and silent. It’s such a strange, melancholic feeling.

@highscribeofaetherium yeah, but again, those who aren’t familiar with Minecraft might not get it.

@highscribeofaetherium oh yeah I forgot about that. The third season is really the only one with a story.

@ellette-giselle really?

@the_lost-journal

Writers can insert two sides of themselves into that conversation and it still tracks. XD

@elishavet-pidyon

I appreciate the thoughts! I hadn’t thought much about items before – although specific things come to mind. My goal is to make this character less of a person to mourn for, and more of a person to enjoy reading about. *Bows and offers you a jar of glitter to poof yourself back home if needed*

@the_lost-journal Have at it then!!

@ellette-giselle It’s okay!! I’m late to reading them anyway.

@theshadow thanks lol

they’re hilarious together ngl. also they probably have joint ownership of like 5 brain cells lol

Hey guys, I’ve been thinking. How do you encourage a reader to like a character who is already dead? And with minimal flashbacks? And and without being boringly sad? I have a few ideas, but this has been a challenge so far and I was wondering what everyone else thinks.
