*squeals* Eep! I’m so glad you’re excited! I hope you like it. I’ve been planning/outlining/researching the sequel and I hope to start in April, I’m really looking forward to that!

@rochellaine

I’m very erratic too. When I’m working on a first draft, I tend to knuckle down and finish a novel in six weeks, but when it comes to editing or short stories, I’m so random.

That’s what I figured, but I’m doing a bit of research anyway. I think she was about one and a half to two when she was adopted, I’d have to check my notes to…[Read more]

A Tale of Two Cities is such an awesome book! It’s in my top three favourites. I definitely will let you know. If you’re interested in reading the first book, which is Stars Fill Infinity here’s THE LINK to the topic I made on it, which has the links to the Google docs.

Thank you! You’re so sweet 😀

@rochellaine

It’s fine, I’ve read the part one bit and it’s suitably mysterious so far. is this the 50s one with the singer? Or is it a different one?

Yeah, I guess that’s probably why we like it. I also just like knowing where the inspiration came from, or how historically accurate it was and the acknowledgements are just generally sweet.

@rochellaine

Sometimes I plan to kill someone, and then cave in and don’t. With one of my novellas, Comrade, I’ve changed between drafts whether or not a character dies. in the first draft he does, in the second he doesn’t, in the third he does.

Okay, I’ll have a look in a second. 😀

I like prologues too. If they’re well done, sometimes they…[Read more]

I meant to reply to this earlier. I’ll definitely be praying for you! Adoption laws are super crazy in Australia, I don’t know what it’s like in the US, but it’s no easy feat. I hope everything works out smoothly.

@rochellaine

I’m sure she won’t mind that once you explain 🙂

I don’t have a problem with mermaids either, I remember someone else being a bit unsure of whether to have mermaids in their story, but I don’t remember who. So long as the world doesn’t start believing that they are real, which is actually something a startling amount of people…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Okay. I wasn’t really familiar with the root meaning of troll, or what a troll actually is. Definitely talk to your mum/mom about it and you can mention it to Dekreel, if you feel you need to. I think, that since the creature that Dekreel used isn’t really a “demon”, she could easily change it to something that’s just generally mi…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’ve definitely found problematic elements in fantasy, specifically in more modern fantasy, but on the whole I’ve not had a major problem with most of it. Having said that, I’ve made a conscious decision not to read Harry Potter or any of Philip Pullman’s work, because there are aspects that don’t sit well with me.

No worries 😀 I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

No, no its okay. I’m just simultaneously trying to figure out how to respond to you while my brain is trying to figure out what 8% of $85 is and the two are clashing.

I guess the meaning of troll is different for different people so some people might be bothered by it and some wouldn’t. Like, I don’t have a problem with trolls and…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Whooo!!!! That’s so EXCITING!!!!

Well, I can see your dilemma. I think you cut quite a regal and authoritative figure though.

@rochellaine

Yeah sorry. I’m still here I just got distracted reading @dekreel ‘s KPA.

Uh oh. *glances around nervously*. Okay, I’m ready.

@rochellaine  Ahhhh, I won’t scratch you. However, I’m going to scream at you:

READ THE WINGFEATHER SAGA RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!

Okay, I’m done. 😉

Oh wait, you don’t read fantasy… *scratches wall*

Congratulations, you have been elected to be sheriff of the R.S. Well, okay, technically you founded it…

@rochellaine @dekreel

I just looked up the average age for marriage in Elizabethan England and boys were legally allowed to marry at 14 and girls at 12 but boys usually got married at around 21. I imagine girls would have been younger, but thirteen seems a bit excessive. And since the woman’s main task was to have children it does seem strange…[Read more]

Heya! I posted a new part of the KPA 😉

Another one of my favorite parts. For good reason. Mwehehehhh…

The GIF-Hiders: An Easter Story

Part Nine: Disbelief

“Halt!!” barked another new voice. “Halt in the name of the law!”

Jenna pulled her palms from her eyes, and peeked at the troll, who, much to her relief, hadn’t squashed Valentine. His foot was in mid air, and Valentine…[Read more]

@seekjustice  It makes me wonder if marrying at thirteen was common during that time? I suppose so since they wanted to marry Juliet to Paris. Still… I would think that a thirteen-year-old would value life so that she wouldn’t have to kill herself if her lover died.

But I suppose that’s symbolic, come to think of it. I wonder…

@dekreel I know right!

@seekjustice  That does seem a little weird for a thirteen-year-old…

@rochellaine  Ahh, I should have known. XP

@rochellaine

It’s not so much that Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy that I dislike, it’s more that it’s…a pointless tragedy, I guess. Also, Juliet is thirteen years old. Am I the only one disturbed by that? I will try West Side Story though, when I get a chance.
