@seekjustice It is flying right over my head since I don’t know the characters. But just in case. Bloop. *brainwashes self* There… Wait. Who are you?

@seekjustice Oops, sorry I must’ve missed that post. Alrighty then! 😉

Sorry, no. 😀 I might not have said it on here, but I definitely mentioned in my blog post that I would be sending it out on August 1st, just so I knew that everyone got it at the same time and I wasn’t running around like a chicken with its head cut off wondering who needed it and who didn’t. Sorry for the confusion!

@rochellaine No, I haven’t read it yet. I thought I was supposed to get an email with the word doc (did I do something wrong @seekjustice?)

@seekjustice Okay, well, I’m going to sign off now.
Goodnight!
(I’ll keep thinking and let you know if I have ideas for any plot twists. I should probably read the full synopsis of ATOTC, though, and research it a little bit more as well.)

😀 I don’t blame you. Australia is a rather exotic location, given that most books are set in America or Britain.
True, I’ll work on that. I’ve been reading through the novel, but I’m not finding much of use.

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@seekjustice Okay, cool. At least there’s one thing I imagined correctly! 😛 Part of the problem is probably that I’ve never been to Australia, so I’m probably imagining the setting completely wrong, and that carries to the characters.
Well, like I said, I thought it was pretty strange that they let the servant go after Justice was already in t…[Read more]

I imagine Zac wearing a very typical Australian outfit–a chequered Drizabone shirt, or something similar, jeans and riding boots. So probably not all that different from what you’re imagining.
In the book, the servant is let go, in all of the adaptions that I’ve seen, he’s been killed. Did that have anything to do with your plot twist?

@seekjustice And I don’t imagine Zac wearing a leather jacket. 😛 I don’t think I’ve ever thought of what Zac would wear, actually. Let me see, I think it would possibly be a slim cut t-shirt tucked into dark jeans or khakis with an open, untucked button-down which he takes off and on when he gets hot or cool. Since he’s rich but partially la…[Read more]

Ah, true. Being in love with the aviators as I am, I always imagine leather aviator jackets, which were, of course, made to keep you warm.
Its the working class jacket, which is why its associated with the French Revolution. Actually though, my sister also thought Justice wore a leather jacket too, so you aren’t the only one. I can…[Read more]

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@seekjustice That depends on the jacket. (I have a light leather coat that is not hot at all, but my mom has a fleece-lined leather coat that is extremely heavy and hot.) I think leather lined with fleece is the reason you would usually think of leather jackets as hot, such as an aviator jacket. A jacket that is just thin, cured leather wo…[Read more]

I tend to be able to deal with curse words, as long as they aren’t too “strong” or too often, so I often forget to mention those (sorry). However, I cannot deal with people kissing each other, as my family will testify, hence my dislike of romance, particularly in movies.
No, I wouldn’t be. I’m sure a leather jacket would be pretty…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh my, I did not mean “that looks hot” as in it’s goodlooking. 😛 I meant it looks like it would make the wearer hot and sweaty. 😛 😛 Whew, that was…rather upsetting.

@seekjustice Haha, we don’t watch much in the way of movies or shows either, but when we do, it’s usually older stuff. Or documentaries. (Yes, I have actually seen a lot of old movies and shows, but a lot of the ones I talk about are ones that I actually haven’t seen the full version of, like Carousel, which I’ve just seen a lot of clips of, o…[Read more]

Sorry 🙁 I honestly don’t think though that she’s ever seen one of those shows which she was talking about, and she didn’t know who Clint Eastwood was. Our family doesn’t watch much in the way of shows or movies, but usually when we do we watch newer things.
The jacket is a very specific type of jacket. Observe this one:

My post disappeared. Here it is again:
@seekjustice‘s sister You’re breaking my heart! 😛
@seekjustice Is your entire family so prejudiced against my favorite classic shows and movies and musicals and actors and singers and writers??? 😮
Hm, that’s interesting. What kind of jacket is it, then? A suit jacket/blazer, or a light coat cut st…[Read more]

She said: “….they still look too old. Like guys from those old tv shows where everyone laughs but you don’t even get the joke.”
Justice’s jacket is not actually a leather one, just thought I’d point that out. 😀

@jenwriter17 Yes! He’s not my favorite either, but @seekjustice actually said “no one likes Kendall,” so I had to protest. I don’t like him best, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like him at all.
Thank you for your support! 😛
Oh, and have you read any of the second draft yet?
