@rae

did you ever do a board for Barron? If so, have you posted it? If not, I’d love to see one!!!

@hybridlore

ah yes, my struggles with the male sex and relationships. *sighs* Guys just don’t make sense sometimes. (and girls totally do because who would ever be confused by girl relationships and emotions. no one. Right?)

That new section looks good. The end feels like a perfect transition to a scene with Adrian… is that what happens n…

@liberty

Hey!! I appreciate you reaching out. You’re so sweet! 🤗

Things are going pretty well right now! Volleyball made our schedule crazy over the past six months, so it’s nice now that it’s over and things have slowed down some. I’ve started working on some study rhythms for school to keep my grades up since I fell behind in some lessons…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

 even if we’re glad the character didn’t die, it often feels a little artificial.

While I agree with you that maybe killing off Adrian is the best course of action, especially considering this is supposed to be a realistic missionary story, I’ve also seen a story where it’s the opposite: They killed off a character because it…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Thanks, it’s not that I feel ashamed, it’s that I feel like I am being self absorbed and selfish just asking for prayer for myself.

No, that’s not wrong. Especially in your situation. How many siblings do you have? Are you the youngest, oldest, or in the middle?

I’ll be praying for you. Is there a name I can refer to you…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I actually didn’t do the last contest, but I’ve been keeping up with this topic anyway. 😛 You picked a really interesting prompt… so I might just participate this time! We’ll see….

@the_lost-journal

Aw man, that sounds really difficult. I understand annoying siblings, but I can’t imagine how hard it is for you right now. 🫂 I will definitely be praying! <33

And don’t feel bad about asking for prayer! That’s what Christian community is for 🤗

@ellette-giselle

That new section looks good. The end feels like a perfect transition to a scene with Adrian… is that what happens next?

@ellette-giselle

That is insane, girl. I have not even finished one. I think the furthest I’ve gotten is maybe nearly 30k.

Ah, that makes sense. But still. Congratulations on that 🎉

I was reading the forum where you posted the first book while I ate, so kind of stalking y’all 😅

If they were girls it would be easy! I just don’t know how guys “…

@hybridlore

Yes! I do, but only about 10 of them are salvageable. The others were my learning arc and I steal ideas and characters from them.

How did you know?

2nd SECTION FROM TODAY

Sorry it’s really short. I have to leave. I’ll post more this afternoon or tomorrow, depending on when I get home.

Joseph lay on his bed, sobbing.

Noah had finally decided they could come out of hiding and carried him home. Now Joseph lay and cried. First…

@ellette-giselle

You have written 63 NOVELS?!?! O.o

@ellette-giselle

*quiet fist pump* Yesss…

@hybridlore

lovely.

This is just where an author wants her reader.

And, because I am a nice author, I will give you a little gift and go edit up the next section and post it, all for you yourself.

🙂

@ellette-giselle

Okay, now I’m dying to read the rest. 😂

@hybridlore

(I’m fighting so hard for Adrian. 😂)

I know, and the sad/funny thing is that it doesn’t matter what you say, this is the 4th draft, so whether he dies or not is already decided and isn’t changing.

Maybe God’s not done with Adrian yet.

Your right.

But maybe He’s ready to call this young soldier home.

I don’t know what his d…

@ellette-giselle

I get what you’re saying. But unrealistic things can happen in stories. Maybe God’s not done with Adrian yet. I don’t know what his death would accomplish that Aaron’s didn’t —besides *maybe* changing Julian’s heart. But that could be just as easily done by Adrian’s capture.

It feels redundant to me. Aaron and Adrian are so s…[Read more]

@hybridlore

(You already killed off Aaron. Isn’t that enough for you?? 😭)

*gasp* how dare you! I never killed Aaron. The Empire did.

So there.

But honestly there are times when you can’t get around it. I’m not killing characters just to be depressing or violent. I’m doing it for good reasons. Plus, I have to follow the rules of my world. It w…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I love stories where good characters die. It’s so refreshing after all this impossible happily ever after on earth for everyone we might have liked plus some.

😳😳😳😳

You love stories where good characters DIE???

Ok, I see what you’re getting at. Every story doesn’t need to be a happy ever after, but it shouldn’t be depress…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Ah, well, we don’t always get our way.

Don’t do this to your readers. Your book will get thrown across the room. He needs to be rescued. Maybe Julian should help him escape.

lololol,

I wouldn’t throw my books across the room. I love stories where good characters die. It’s so refreshing after all this impossible happily ever a…[Read more]
