@catwing Your brother got you a sword?  Well, my brother got me a Civil War style Colt Navy revolver.  Top that!

😛 😛 😛 😛 😛

Seriously, though, I read your blog post about it and the sword sounds really cool!

(Especially since the range we normally go to won’t allow black powder guns, so I rarely get to shoot the revolver anyway. 🙁 )

@rochellaine I’ll find you all one day 😛

Nope, I put it up the other day when I was talking to you about all the things I wanted to do in America, because I realised I literally have no idea where anything in America is. So it’s up there now, and I have some sort of mental picture of all the states in relation  to one another. It’s up there…[Read more]

@seekjustice He is. *beams* (sometimes he’s annoying, but mostly he’s nice. 😉 )
He is the star of a few blog posts, including my latest one about the sword.
He makes up for being my only brother by being extra annoying and extra nice (mostly nice). XP

@seekjustice Thank you!  Bless you!  I will survive.

And think of the many great authors who didn’t kill characters in every novel.  Even C.S. Lewis didn’t.  He only killed characters in some of his books.  Jane Austen, of course, but you don’t like her, so that’s not really a good argument.

Can’t you all think of any more?

@alia Thank you f…[Read more]

@seekjustice Nevada is very far away from me. 🙂  I’m on the East Coast, and it’s nearly on the West Coast.  However, I go out there in July or August every year to Lake Tahoe for a conference my law school holds there.  *sits back and waits until I can breathe again* You seriously have a map of the US for us on KP?  What do you do, put pins in it…[Read more]

@catwing *gapes at catwing’s brother*. You, sir, are awesome.

@alia

Well, I think writers like @rochellaine are an endangered species and should be protected at all costs. after all, what sort of writer does not like killing characters? We should make an effort to preserve those who don’t break our hearts with every book.

Oh cool! We have those in Australia too, but we don’t call them K-9.

@rochellaine Yeah, brothers are nice. Mine got me a sword. 😉
@seekjustice I didn’t post last week. Working on something for this week since my HTTYD post isn’t ready.

@alia @seekjustice thanks!
@rochellaine Nope, I went back to Finding Secrets because Firebird was being difficult. I need to edit FS and start on the sequel anyway. 🙂

@alia Yes, they would be.  What I was saying is that the majority of her characters seem to get themselves killed, so rather than waiting till the book is done and just fading out of her charge like most writers’ characters do, they get suddenly cut off in the middle of the book.

@alia  Well, as @rochellaine said, they usually get out of my charge when they die. And I still have another book of pain and agony for (some) of them to live through…so I don’t know how they feel about reaching the end of this book.

Rochellaine, what’s a K-9 officer? *squints at map of USA which she has put on the wall since joining KP*…[Read more]

@alia No!  SeekJustice’s characters get “out of her charge” when she kills them!!!!

That would possibly be relieving for some, if they were Christians, I guess.  Except characters aren’t real, so when they die, they just die.  They can’t actually go to heaven.

@seekjustice Go ahead and defend yourself if you like.  I’m just stating facts. 😛

@seekjustice Haha!  I’m actually working on a blog post right now.  You have nothing to worry about when you compare your frequency of posts to mine!  My last post was nearly a month ago, while yours was only eight days ago.

Well, I do have a cousin who’s a police officer.  He’s a K-9 officer, actually, which is pretty cool.  But he’s reall…[Read more]

@alia

My novel. I’m getting very close to the end and getting a bit teary.

@catwing Congratulations 😀

@rochellaine

What sort of things do you need to know? Do you know anyone who’s a police officer?

@alia Hey!

@catwing Hello!  Which book?  Firebird?  By the way, I can’t wait to read that. 🙂

Yeah, probably.  I think the worst thing, though, would be trying to figure out who to talk to.  Would I want to go to the police headquarters or something?  I know someone who just went and sat in the car with a police officer to talk, but I’d be afraid that the o…[Read more]

@catwing Welcome! (I’m over here feeling slightly guilty because I’m so obsessed with writing my novel that I haven’t done a blog post in way too long!)

@rochellaine

Hmm…that is awkward. I don’t like talking to people either!

I just realized I’m a Chosen One! (I finally caught up with you @dekreel 😉 )

@rochellaine They would probably be really nice and helpful.
But still I would nerve wrecked too. I would be for talking to anyone. 😉

@jenwriter17 @ariel-Ashira thanks. I really like the one that looks like the cat is vanishing. 🙂

@seekjustice @rochellaine working on collages for a blog post on my book.
