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 “…

@ellette-giselle

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

@ellette-giselle

*quiet fist pump* Yesss…

@ellette-giselle

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

@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]

@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]

@ellette-giselle

Anyway. I need to go do some school but I found the old forum where you posted parts of the first book, so I’ll be catching up on that later.

@ellette-giselle

Exactly!! Jk. Kind of. I think we need Adrian/Julian by themselves. Unless that’s not realistic for what they would let a prisoner do… idk.

I know! Poor Julian. And now he thinks his brother is going to die..(which he CAN’T!)

why? what’s stopping me?

I WILL! 😤 Anyway, you already killed off Aaron. Don’t do this to your readers.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Nope. Nothing. One reaction to that scene.

Yes, I am getting attached to Adrian! He is so sweet to Joseph! And I am not satisfied with the confrontation. They need another scene. *plops down stubbornly* I really love brother dynamics … 😅

Anyway. You CANNOT kill Adrian too. 😖

@ellette-giselle

Ellette, if you kill off Adrian too… 😭😤

@the_lost-journal

Of course! Don’t feel ashamed to ask for prayer. No one’s life is perfect and we all have stuff going on.

Mom: “Don’t forget you O’s”

Me: “I won’t forget my O’s! If i was to forge my O’s what kind of person would I be?!”

Mom: “A nut?”

Me: “YES!”

Mom: “You already are a nut!”

Me: “Cranberries cranberries cranberries cranberries cranberries cranberries cranberries!” Et cetera

Mom: “Of course her cranberries will come to Ruth when she calls.”

@the_lost-journal I’ll be praying!!

@liberty
THERE’S ANOTHER?

@whalekeeper In my mind, I see it as:

Protagonist–The main character or character whose arc we’re following. The POV character in a first-person story.

Hero–Subtype of protagonist. Usually someone with a sense of good and evil, a person with moral standards they won’t break unless in an extreme situation, a person worth emulating at least by…[Read more]

Discussion question. What is the difference between a protagonist and a hero? What qualities do you like to see in a protagonist, and do you prefer them to be a ‘hero’ or nay?

I’mma throwing this out there because I like reading people’s responses. 🙂

@ellette-giselle

Yes, the defeating the prophesy junk is stupid unless there is a very valid reason. For instance, I had a character in a book who was cursed by the gods of his people because of a prophesy, but when he came to Christ he was able to flip that on it’s head and say, “you know what, I was cursed. But so are all of you. We are all cur…

@rae yeah I can see that.

idk about misunderstood but tragic definitely.
