@seekjustice I think I’m going to say goodnight now.  Sorry it’s a bit earlier than it used to be, but…it is past one o’clock here. 😛

Guess you probably won’t be on tomorrow, and I won’t be on the next day, but see you Monday/Tuesday.  Goodnight!

@rochellaine

I read Jen’s book while she was writing it but I haven’t read the edited version yet. Its good though. I’ll think you’ll enjoy it 🙂

@valtmy Ah, I’ve been having the same problem.  For a really long time. 😛  I loved the beginning of my western and now it feels boring.

But I just remembered!  I still haven’t read @jenwriter17‘s book!  I think I’m going to read that now.

@seekjustice Well, hello again. 🙂  Did you read Jen’s book?

@rochellaine

Oh yes, I’m back. I was just reading about contemporary Christian music though and got distracted.

@valtmy Aaand, I just got distracted too. 🙂  Are you still here?

@seekjustice Back yet?

@rochellaine

Well, I’ve heard a lot of reasons why Christians shouldn’t listen to it, but I’ve never heard anything like that before.

I’m eating lunch, actually.

@seekjustice There have actually been a lot of studies on it, and we have several books on the subject…which I haven’t read… 😛

What are you working on now?  Still editing your short stories?

@valtmy Hello!  How are you doing?

@rochellaine

Fascinating! I didn’t even know people studied this sort of thing. Unfortunately, my knowledge of music basically extends to “this sounds nice, this doesn’t” so I don’t really understand all about chord progressions and such (I wouldn’t know a particular chord if it bit me). But still, its very interesting.

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 Since I’m not an expert, I can’t give a real explanation. 😛  But basically he studied the types of chord progressions used in different styles of music, and which ones improved your health and which ones were detrimental to your health.  Most people here will agree that rock music is detrimental to your health, I b…[Read more]

@rochellaine I can’t really chat now, but…

I didn’t know your brother had a degree in music! That’s really cool, including the part about how music affects people’s brains. What is it that you learned about contemporary music? (I don’t listen to contemporary Christian music either for the most part, just cuz I find most of it annoying)

@rochellaine

That’s really interesting! What were the results of his study? (as in, why particularly do you steer clear of Christian contemporary music?) I don’t usually listen to it, for the simple fact that most of it is extremely unoriginal (come on people, we are worshipping and singing about the Creator of the Universe! Endless repetition of…[Read more]

@seekjustice My brother has a degree in music and has made a study of what types of music effect your brain in different ways, and based on that we don’t listen to contemporary Christian music. 🙂  So when people here talk about all sorts of musical groups and band names I have no idea what anyone’s referring to. 😛  But the music groups that I d…[Read more]

@rochellaine Aw, I wish I could join you! Super busy right now, but I’ll see you next week 😉

@rochellaine

I broke my habit of listening to musicals and I was actually listening to some contemporary Christian music. Tenth Avenue North, in case you were wondering. 😀 Its not too bad.

Well the Red Baron definitely was pretty scary, I would have been scared of him. But, in the end, he was just a very young man who needed God and had a…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh yes, I meant to ask.  You said it’s going to be in a book?  What book?

@seekjustice I also like “What a Comforting Thing to Know” and “Tell Him Anything” best.  My brother’s favorite is “What has Love Got to Do with Getting Married?” 😛  Yes, “Position and Positioning” is great for a bit, but can get annoying after a while, haha.  Have you been singing or listening to anything today?

Oh, sweet.  There’s always tha…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I think I like ‘What a Comforting Thing to Know’ best, just because its funny, but I also like…um, what’s it called. ‘Tell Him Anything’? and I do like “Position and Positioning’, even though it gets on your nerves about two minutes in 😀

Uh, probably you haven’t. Its this one 

Well, originally I set it at 30hrs, but I’m…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, you certainly must! 🙂 What’s your favorite song from it?  I remember you said you didn’t like “Why Can’t I be Two People,” because you think it sounds kind of bratty.

What story?????  Have I read it?  If not, can I??  If not, whyyyyy?? 😛

Haha, you say you’re setting your goal “quite low,” but it’ll still probably be about the…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I haven’t listened to that in ages! I feel I need to rectify that at the next given opportunity.

Currently I’m proofing the short story version and another little story of mine which is being published in a book. (eep!!!)

And yep, I’m doing it, but I’m working on a few short stories for competitions and I’m setting my goal quite…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hello!  I’ve been singing “What a Comforting Thing to Know” all day. 😛

I’m working on my western.  I would assume you’re editing Stars? 😉

Are you doing the July Camp NaNoWriMo?  I remember you talking about it, but can’t think of what you would actually work on if you did, since you’re mostly editing and planning your projects ri…[Read more]
