    Hello there! You are not late at all considering how long it has taken me to get reply to these. I just started working, plus I am still in school, so even trying to find time to write has been difficult. O_O Thank you all for your patience!

    @pookiemonster , That’s really neat! The Middle Ages are fantastic! My favorite medieval fact: Women always wore two long-sleeved dresses, an underdress and an overdress, even in summertime! That always blew me away. Medieval clothing has always fascinated me. It’s funny to see how movies portray that time period differently than history actually shows. I have never read Don Quixote before, although the name sounds familiar. And I love Star Wars! The original trilogy is by far my favorite. I’m not really into the newer ones, the episodes made since Disney bought it. Although I adored the Star Wars Rebels TV series!

    @futuro , Thank you, and hello right back!

    @chalice , Hello to you too! My current WIP is really long to explain, (although from what I have heard from other writers, this is not an uncommon problem XD ) Basically there is only one copy of the the Bible (called Yehday in my story, which is Hebrew for “(God’s) Word”), and the pages have been spread throughout the whole country. So God (called Yehovah) has chosen these four children, ages 12-13, to go on a quest to collect all the pages. So through the course of a year they travel Tiphereth Erets having many adventures to collect these pages. During this time each of them also undergoes a spiritual journey where they discover their need for a spiritual savior, and accept Jesus into their lives.  So it’s a spiritual journey as well as a physical journey to collect Yehday so it can be copied and shared. 🙂 Hopefully that explains it all, let me know if you have any questions.

    I have not studied Hebrew that much at all, really, although the language fascinates me. Many elements and places in my world have Hebrew names denoting to their meaning, such a village named Satham, which means hidden, to keep secret, or shut out, which is exactly what this village does; they shut out the rest of the world and selfishly keep only to themselves. A lot of places also have a second, lesser-used Hebrew name.
