I can’t have a conversation in that chaos. xD
the lighting makes it look lighter than it is, it’s actually pretty close to brown. You were close
Ha, good for me.
Hmmm, that’s an interesting thought. You do have to take their enviornment into consideration. I’m assuming they were raised Jewish, and at that time Jewish customs were enforced as law, since they essentially were law. Besides that, because of the persecution, they would probably grow up seeing the Jewish community as a safer place than the outside world.
There are a lot of nuances there. They might also see the Jewish community as a place of conflict, and if certain things were to happen, be sick of both Catholic and Jewish customs and conflicts and just give up on them, and life. But yeah, I do plan on trying to take all of that into mind. I do want them to have some sort of ex-Jewish feel, like them having memories of the good times in their community, the customs, and things like that. And I definitely want them referencing medieval ethic Jewish lifestyle, seeing that one is technically still a Jew even if they aren’t one by religion (there is some debate over that though). However, one thing you might notice in my historical fiction is that I don’t mess with religion much. I’ll do it more in this series, but I don’t particularly want to turn these books into a conflict of religions (though there is a place for that).
You mentioned that Robert was her father’s favorite and that he never got over his death. In what way? Did he kind of neglect Delphine and leave her to her own devices? Did he get overprotective of her?
That’s excellent advice, will do.
guess who mixed up the Torah and the Tanakh? XD The Torah is the first five books, the Tanakh is the old testament. You can tell I don’t use this terminology every day.
It happens to the best of us. Thanks for informing me on the Tanakh, I don’t think I’ve heard that word before.
Do you deal much with different accents in your books? I am clueless on how to go about this (though it isn’t necessary). For instance, I want my Arab character to have something of an accent, but I have no idea how I would describe it.
