Hello! I’m kind of just hanging around on the internet at the moment, but I really need to do some more characterisation!

January 29, 2018 at 11:10 pm #61750@seekjustice Okay, I’m (kinda) working on my Western again.
I read your article and liked it. ๐
I have to ask…Is that Grant Gustin (the Flash) on your profile page?

January 29, 2018 at 11:21 pm #61752@rochellaineย Hello, I’m stalking you! you better be working on your western!
The Kingdom has been torn asunder...
http://www.encircledbygrace.com/January 29, 2018 at 11:21 pm #61753Cool! I haven’t read the full excerpt yet, but I mean too!
The Jane Austen one? Thank you!
Um…haha, yes it is. I’d forgotten that was there. it was a collage for a story I wrote about a year ago, and it used to be super hard to post collages on here. Instead of turning up on the forum thread, it ended up as my background, so I left it. I hadn’t remembered that it was still there though!

January 29, 2018 at 11:28 pm #61756@rochellaine Good! Iย need to know what happens next!

http://www.encircledbygrace.com/January 29, 2018 at 11:42 pm #61757@seekjustice Yes, just the Jane Austen post.ย I haven’t had time to read anything else yet…
Ha!ย I’m so proud of myself for recognizing his chin! ๐ I like being able to do things like that.
You’re doing characterization…I was just talking with @kaya-young about basing my characters off of real people.ย Do you ever do that?ย (Despite the disclaimers that we’re supposed to put in the beginning of every book: “Not based on any person, living or dead, etc.”)

January 29, 2018 at 11:54 pm #61758fair enough! I’m glad you liked it!
๐ I like recognising actors too, it makes me feel like a real teenager. Unfortunately the actors I like aren’t very well-known, so it kind of spoils it, but oh well!
Those disclaimers make me laugh when they’re in the front of historical books with real people in them ๐
I think that I do do it, but it’s not usually that I choose someone and go, hey, I’m going to make you a character! It’s more that after writing a character chart or a scene, I’ll realise that they’re kind of like so-and-so.

January 30, 2018 at 12:02 am #61760@kaya-young So far what happens next is Uncle Bill takes Chara hiking. ๐
Does that satisfy your need?

January 30, 2018 at 12:04 am #61761@seekjusticeย @rochellaineย *shamelessly butts in*
‘EYA! I shall join you on this fair night! (Er… or afternoon…….)
I’m working on the KPA — finally making progress!
What have you been talking about?
You can pronounce it however you want.
January 30, 2018 at 12:08 am #61762Yay! I’m glad!! I’m currently doing some characterisations for my novel and scanning pinterest for good models (it’s super hard to find thirty-year-old women on Pinterest!)
We’ve been discussing basing characters off real people and Jane Austen,
Oh and recognising actors by their chins….

January 30, 2018 at 12:11 am #61763Aha! you’re a secret stalker. No worries, I do that too! Now you know that the enigmatic SeekJustice is actually Chelsea from An Ordinary Pen

January 30, 2018 at 12:17 am #61764@seekjustice You do realize that could mean you are basing a character off of Jane Austen? ๐
Same!! About the actors, I mean.ย I really know the names of about five modern actors.ย But I like watching old 50s tv shows and saying, “Oh, I recognize that guest star.ย He played the soda jerk in such-and-such movie!” ๐ย I think that actually makes me evenย less like a modern teenager though?ย Oh well.
@dekreel It actually is midnight where I live, so the original quote works for me!"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
January 30, 2018 at 12:18 am #61765@seekjusticeย “Recognizing actors by their chins?!” XD Sounds like a great conversation
I’ll bet it’s hard 8|
Is it the novel based on a Dickens book?
You can pronounce it however you want.
