      @seekjustice Ah, I don’t know.  Sometimes it’s fun to criticize.  I mean, if we know better than the writers, we must know a lot, right?  And isn’t it fun to know a lot?  Or at least, to feel like you know a lot on one particular subject?

      I was just on a quiz website the other day and passed the grammar, history, and literature tests with flying colors.  I think that’s one of the things that would go on the “you know you’re a writer when” topic. 😉  Do you like taking online quizzes just for fun?


      @valtmy
      Yeah, just brainstorming here… 😛

      There is absolutely no end to the amazing and crazy stuff you can come up with when you’re brainstorming!  Oh, um, do you like brainstorming?  Maybe it’s just me… 😉

        @rochellaine

        I love brainstorming. I have lots of ideas for my stories but the problem comes with linking them together into a tight, cohesive plot that somewhat makes sense 😛

        Lately I’ve been getting a lot of inspiration for my other story, Rules of Fate, as opposed to my WIP, QOD. So I am thinking of looking through and uploading the first several chapters of ROF (have about seven chapters already written) here for review. But if I do that I feel like I’ll never finish either story so I’m trying to resist the urge.


        @seekjustice

        Any advice for a unfaithful writer such as myself who is tempted to write another story instead of her WIP?

          @rochellaine

          Of course I like taking quizzes. Particularly history and literature ones 😛


          @valtmy

          My advice would be this: don’t give in. Or do give in. Depends on how strong you feel.

          I’m actually one of the lucky ones who doesn’t get distracted by other WIPs.

          Anyway I have to go now 🙂

            Wow that’s really fortunate.

            All right. Bye! 😀

              @valtmy That’s the same thing that happened with my western and DoJ.  I currently have been actually writing on DoJ and making notes for my western, but that could change at any moment. 😀


              @seekjustice
              Bye!  I’m leaving now too.

                Hi, friends!  The reason I am posting this comment is so that I can get this topic sent to my email, not so I can actually say anything. 😉 But since I am here I might as well say hi and I sure missed you!

                    @seekjustice @rochellaine I think I know who Quillon is… Okay, not a villain. 😉

                      @catwing 😀  Curly black hair is basically all you need to know.  He’s pretty easy to spot. 😉

                        @seekjustice, I find it funny that you refuse to kill off Quillon because he is your favorite. I like to kill my favorites off 🙂

                          @alia Hey, how are you doing?

                          What are you working on?

                            @rochellaine, I’m doing pretty well. How are you?

                            I am currently taking a scene that I wrote on paper a while ago and finally putting it into Decisions. What about you?

                              @alia I’m doing pretty well, but am extremely tired.  However, I have quite a bit of studying to do, so I’ll be attempting to keep awake for a while and review some legal definitions… 😉

                              Oh, fun!  I write a lot of little scenes, and often many of them don’t end up in the finished book, 😛 so it’s cool that you’re able to actually put that in.

                                @rochellaine, I am tired as well, but that is because I recently started going to vo-tech school to (hopefully) get my CNA. It’s a two year program and I’m really hoping to be able to pass year one so that I can get into the CNA program.

                                Is this your first year in law?

                                This scene was written exactly for this spot. It is when Jycin has a choice to continue living in hiding for the rest of his life and not do anything, or he can take a stand. So I’m trying really hard to make Delmira’s speech a realistic convincing speech.

                                 

                                Can I show it to you and get your opinion?

                                  @alia That sounds interesting, though not something I’d want to do.  I can’t stand anything that has to do with medical stuff. 😛  I hope it goes well for you.

                                  No, I’m actually halfway through my third year.  I’ll graduate in December of 2019.

                                  Ah, I’ve even forgotten or skipped scenes I wrote for specific spots in my books. 😉  I guess it’s because I don’t plan very thoroughly, so when I write a scene ahead of time I might have completely changed where the book was going by the time I get to the scene, and it doesn’t work anymore. 😛  I rarely know where a book is going to end up when I start it.

                                  Sure, I’d love to read it!  If it’s very long, though, I might fall asleep in the middle. 😉  (If I do, forgive me, and I’ll finish reading it tomorrow…)
