@seekjustice Oh yes!  Now I remember I was laughing with my sister the other day over the fact that Quillon says “Gracious goodness, it hurts!” when he gets shot.  We were laughing because that’s my sister’s particular exclamation, and I always tell her she says it backwards, since most people say “goodness gracious.”  So I do remember from the la…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yeah, it does sound a bit shifty 😛 I’ll definitely check it out if you want me too (I love reading thoughts. I’m super into dialogue, as you’ve probably noticed, even if it’s just a character debating with themselves).

@jess-penrose

Research on these topics has been ethical

Haha.  Disclaimers are always necessary, aren’t they? 😛

Okay, thanks.  That’s good to know.  But now I have a dilemma.  Can I convince myself that it’s really okay if one of my characters is starved, or will I be too softhearted?  That’s nearly as bad as killing them!

@rochellaine

Drat it, my reply didn’t post.

Basically, what I was saying was this:

I was going to add a section in the bits where Chessy chats to Justice’s grandfather with him mentioning his other no good grandson, and then I realised that that wouldn’t work because Zac isn’t his grandson. There are a few differences between Kendall and Zac,…[Read more]

@seekjustice Quillon would not cope? 😀 😀  I would think it would be Justice, since he’s more peevish when things go wrong.  I’d picture Quillon as the guy who pretends everything’s fine.  But I guess you’re right, different things affect different people different ways. (Goodness! Three uses of the word “different” one after another.  The…[Read more]

@seekjustice Ohh, it’s going so slowly! 🙁  I think perhaps soon, but I’m not sure yet.

Well, I was thinking it would be cool if sometime in Stars Justice got really frustrated with Kendall and told him something like “You’re just as bad as my cousin!” 😀  Or if he accidentally made the connection in the sequel and realizes that Zac might tur…[Read more]

@jess-penrose

*tucks information away for a time that shall come* I’ve never tortured my characters by food deprivation. Could be interesting. Quillon would not cope.

@rochellaine

Oh well, you’re better safe than sorry on the internet. 😀

Cool! When are you going to put up your next part?

My sister commented that Justice having to deal with Zac was like dealing with Kendall all over again, but no, you haven’t mentioned it. What do you think about their connection?

@seekjustice Hahaha! 😀  Poor Uncle Bill.

And now I’m wondering why I decided to delete that.  Maybe it’s normal after all? 😛  Well…not normal.  But yes, I do forget to eat a meal once in a while.  And when I’m sick I really don’t feel like eating at all.

I think another problem might be that like Chara, I’m really little, so if I do lose…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I meant a sign like this one:

My brother saw it and goes “Hey, there’s Uncle Bill!”

Yeah, I’ve done similar things before, like I was once sick for a weeks and ate barely anything and lost a whole lot of weight, and I’ve had trouble since then if I don’t eat regularly I get unwell and usually very dizzy.

The IV would definitely…[Read more]

@seekjustice

He’s even got his picture on a post out in Kangaroo Valley

I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what you mean? 🙂  Are you talking about my character collage post?

Okay that’s perfect. 😀  *adds to future editing notes*

Yeah, she slept for about thirteen or fourteen hours besides the couple of hours at the hospital while she was unc…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Uncle Bill is famous yes 😀 He’s even got his picture on a post out in Kangaroo Valley 🙂

Okay, so what I was thinking (as I was trying not to fall off a cliff) was that irrationality is a symptom of heat exhaustion/stroke, so maybe Uncle Bill tells her to walk back to the road and try to flag down a car, so she does, but when she…[Read more]

@jess-penrose Oh, that happens to me far too often. 🙁  Glad you’re back!  And very glad you aren’t planning on letting Connor “drop dead.”  That would be awful.  I have enough to deal with trying to keep emotionally stable when reading SeekJustice’s book and I really don’t need to hear of any more characters dying. 😀 😀

@seekjustice Haha…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yes, I did 😀 It was very nice!

(Also, congratulations to Uncle Bill! Um…you want to hear a funny story about Uncle Bill? We went hiking on Wednesday, along an escarpment with no fence, but I was explaining to my sister about your story and the problem I was trying to work out about why Chara would walk along the road–which I…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hello again!  Did you have fun?

I thought you had only one sibling? 😉  Or did you only tell me about one?

@rochellaine @jess-penrose

Hey, I’m back here now!

@jenwriter17

Thanks, it went really well and all the old people really loved it 😀 I do Scottish Highland dancing (Sword dancing, you know 🙂 ) I love writing at the library. It’s so quiet with no siblings 😀

@jess-penrose Oh, poor, poor Connor! 🙁  My MC just had a panic attack and passed out.  Now she’s better, thankfully.

Here’s a clip from a while back right before she passes out:

As she looked out at the road all she could think of was Hot.  It was so hot.  Suddenly her mind flashed as though she was back on the road, stumbling, gasping, hop…

@jess-penrose Oh, whoops! haha. 😀

Well, I’m having the opposite problem that you have! 🙂  I’m a very slow writer, possibly because I took off two years in which I did basically no writing and only started up again a few months ago, so it’s taking me a while to get back in the swing.  So I set a low goal for Camp NaNo, but I’m still behind a l…[Read more]

@jess-penrose Hello!  How’s your book coming?

@seekjustice I’m back now.  You’re probably not done yet, but I’m tagging you anyway in case. 😉

@jess-penrose Are you writing now?
