"Bryony likes to say Cuba is our personal blessing: the older brother I always wanted, and the father she always needed. When she was younger, she was convinced Cuba was an angel, with his bright hair and bright eyes, and she’d ask him to take her requests to God. He was always quick to say that there is no need for intercession: God hears her prayers, and no one needs to bring them to Him."

Legit got very little editing done today, but I did edit one of my favorite scenes, which consists of Calliope kicking Fallon where the sun don't shine and then Fallon subsequently rage-baiting her after she apologizes

Chapter Nine is honestly one of the hardest chapters to write due to how heavy it is. At least I get to edit Fallon and Calliope's first meeting after it, which is like a breath of fresh air after the absolute darkness of the previous chapter

Hello, angel of death.
This is not an angel of death that stares at me, dressed in pink finery. Yes, the title still holds true, but rather than masquerading as my true self, I hide my hideous truth under the guise of love and affection. Pink perfection masking the bloody, gruesome horrors beneath.
All right, who snuck into my google docs, cuz no way I wrote that

I'm going to try and average a chapter per day, and I have forty more chapters to edit, so, hypothetically, I should have it done a few weeks before Christmas

You know you're exhausted when you write "thuddering in my chest" instead of "thudding in my chest" but you also wanted to write "thunder" in the next sentence so you wrote "thuder"
I need to go to bed (I say as I continue to edit)

They say a father is a daughter's first love, but Bryony never knew her father. All she had was Fallon. So her big brother was her first love. I love writing families

Just finished editing an execution scene and now I think I need to go touch grass...because that was a little dark
At least Grimalka is living up to its genre. I was afraid it wasn't dark enough to be considered "dark fantasy" but I think it fits the bill save for the fact that my mc isn't morally gray

Do they not also pray for each other though?

I understand that Catholics believe in the intercession of saints and my best friend, who is Catholic, has explained to me that y'all view it as the saints praying on your behalf, like a friend praying for you. I, as a protestant, don't believe in praying to saints or that you should be praying to saints, and I do write my books through my specific religious upbringing, so my characters also do not believe in the intersession of saints. It's not a jab at Catholics, as my best friend is one, and I respect y'all, but I still write my books from the theological viewpoint I believe in (from a Protestant lens)
But to answer your question, yes, my characters pray for each other. But they do not believe that you need someone to bring your prayers or pray for you for God to hear them. i.e. Bryony can pray to God and it is just as affective as someone else praying for her. She does not need an external force to carry her prayers to God
Ok, so he wasn't refusing to pray for her, he was just clarifying that she dosen't need someone to bring her prayers to God
@Arwen Correct. In a way, she wanted him to bring her prayers to God "just in case He didn't hear them"
