Here she is! So sorry it took so long…if there’s any changes you’d like let me know…I may have made her hair too yellow

Oh my friend…I’m sorry that I didn’t see this until now. I will definitely, definitely be praying for you.

For my whole life I’ve never felt like I fitted in with other teenagers. I remember talking to my mum about it once and telling her, “Its not that I want to be like them, because I don’t. I just want to feel included”.

And that’s…[Read more]

@rochellaine @valtmy

I have to go now. Bye!!

@rochellaine

I think its too early to really tell about Nes. He does sound like he might be important, or at least a recurring character, from the amount of information you put in about him, so I definitely think you could expand him. Or you could not, its up to you. I’d have to have read the whole novel to decide whether he’s necessary. And I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

No, me either. And my father has bad grammar, but I love him so I read his essays. 😛 I think I’m just holding back from contemporary because, as a general rule, there’s less opportunity for physical torture of characters. Still, I’d love to see if I can write a book without killing anyone.

Ah, see, my eldest brother, who’s fifteen,…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Fair enough 😀 I’ve decided to try writing a contemporary, which is going to be kind of weird, because I’ve never written one, but I think it should be fun. And not as much research as I normally do 😀 I’d be lucky if I ever decided to write about the early church though, because my dad’s currently studying the early church and I get…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’m not sure whether the Jews back then were called by their Greek names, or whether because the Bible was written in Greek whether they were translated into Greek when it was written. You’d have to do more research on that 😀 I like researching though, do you like research? I assume you do.

Not that I really had a problem with…[Read more]

@valtmy

😀 I’ve been in similar situation before 😛 cultural differences, I suppose. That particular word is used a lot in Australia but I’d definitely get into trouble if I said it in my house, or in church. 😛

@rochellaine

I won’t pretend to like the name Bathshua either, but I don’t really know any Bible names, except for the obvious ones like Phoebe, Priscilla, etc. But they’re Greek names, and Bathshua sounds Hebrew, so I can’t really suggest anything.

Ah, okay. I thought that might have been him, since you mentioned him. It was pretty funny, and I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Poor…what’s her name?? You obviously need to practise more authorial cruelty.

Yep, that one.

That’s so cool 😀 I’d love a pen like that! I’ve made some mini cranes before and they’re extremely cute 😛

I’m listening to Gee Officer Krupke now. Which one is Russ Tumblyn?

@rochellaine

Sorry, that took longer than I was expecting. I’m back now. 😀

The musical is Schikaneder, which is the one I mentioned about The Magic Flute, I think it was you I mentioned it too 😀

@rochellaine

Ah, that’s probably what it is.

Hey though, my favourite musical at the moment is a romantic comedy. 😛

Its at least half an hour into town and we haven’t left yet so it’ll probably be an hour or so.

@rochellaine

Oh yes, I’ve been meaning to watch/listen to West Side Story. I’ll have to see if our library has a DVD of it. 😀 I’ll listen to it anyway, if I get time 😀 I feel I’ve heard of Russ Tamblyn before, but I can’t think why.

@valtmy

Glad to hear you’re still loyal 😉 *wipes proud tear*

I hope your new job goes well (and your book too 😀 ). We looked forward to any time you’re able to come on the Writers’ Corner. 🙂

@rochellaine

What’s it called? I’ll be going into town today, so I’ll probably be able to get some time at the library. 😀 And because of that, I’ll probably be going very soon.

@valtmy

*sighs*

So many good friends leaving.

*unsheaths Babylonian sabre* As Queen of this Realm, I knight you a knight of the Realm.

Once a Knight of The Kingdom of Pen, always a Knight of the Kingdom of Pen*

*Whacks you with sabre* *Very gently, of course*

@rochellaine Welcome! *bows*

@valtmy For me, I tend to concentrate on plot and characters in the first draft and who cares whether the words make any sense or not (as I’ve been reading through my draft I sometimes stop and stare at the ridiculous things I’ve written 😛 ). In the second draft, I embellish the plot and make sure the characters are…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Still slaving away at my editing. I’m getting closer to the end but I had to kill Rain again and that was upsetting 😢

I sympathise. I’ve felt like that all week. I’ve not done well at all.

@rochellaine @valtmy

I arrive!

@rochellaine

I’ll be on soon 🙂
