@leon-fleming Hey!

Yeah, I feel you. Fantasy’s really fun to write. (Also procrastination is the bane of my existence lolllll)
They’re pretty fun to write (and read). I generally stray from using another author’s characters, though, at least as the main characters; it’s much more fun to create my own, even if I am sticking them in another…[Read more]

@allisongrace HI!

I’m late, but … in response …

Star Wars and Marvel for the winnnnn!

BB-8 really is the cutest.

And YESSSSSSSSSSS Star Wars Rebels is amazing (though sadly I know people who really don’t like it T-T). What’d you think of the finale??  Also do you like Clone Wars too?

@ warrenluther04 EYYY how you doing?? I’m not doing too bad, all things considered!!

 

@dragon-snapper Gosh I log in for a day and then disappear for like two months… heh heh (o_o’) I’m doing well, kinda bored since I’m still technically on lockdown (anyone else here on lockdown?), but hey I get more writing time so that’s a plus 😛

@valtmy

I see.  Sounds like some complicated research you’ve got going there. 😛

All right, Prince of Egypt is on my list! 🙂

Farewell, and happy writing/researching! 😉

@seekjustice

How accurate is Prince of Egypt, storywise? 😉

It is a very silly musical. 😛 About as silly as a musical could be, I imagine.  But I really like the costume design, because they don’t dress the characters in animal costumes.  They dress them in costumes which evoke the colors and textures and personality of the animal character i…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yeah, I did end up listening to them and I liked them!

Prince of Egypt is very good. I enjoyed the movie a lot and the soundtrack for the Broadway also sounds really good.

Ah yes, I did read Frog and Toad as a early reader. I remember being very unimpressed, but my attitude towards kids books has softened as of late, so maybe I…[Read more]

@valtmy Well, getting distracted by a political satire romantic comedy idea honestly sounds really fun. 😛

@seekjustice

I’ve heard a couple of songs from The Prince of Egypt and liked them, but I haven’t ever looked into it beyond that.  I think that I shall plan on doing so, one of these days. 🙂

Did you ever get a chance to listen to those songs from Only the Brave?  I keep wishing I could hear the rest of the soundtrack, rather than just the thr…[Read more]

@valtmy

Probably very awkward and cringy, to be quite honest.

@rochellaine

No actually. I don’t think I’ve found a really enjoyable new musical in months 🙁 Right now, I’m listening to ATOTC, because I haven’t listened to that in ages and had forgotten how much I loved it. I’ve also really enjoyed listening to The Prince of Egypt movie soundtrack and the Broadway release too. What about you?

@seekjustice Haha, yeah.  That’s pretty much how it went. 😛

Now I have to ask, have you discovered any new musicals?  Or, what have you been listening to lately? (And has it influenced your writing at all?)

@rochellaine

I feel like you and me both are like “Oh, I was doing some research and I discovered this cool fact and so now I’ve completely changed this whole aspect of my story”. 😛 Does sound like a good idea though! I like it.

😛

@seekjustice He does sound fascinating.

Well, I had a really cool idea…at least, one I thought was really cool…of making the gang of Bathshua’s brother’s friends Jewish Zealots.  And so I did some research into that group and it was very interesting.  So, now the gang is a Zealot gang. 😛  We’ll see how that goes.  Hopefully it works.  I feel…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yes, an actual planned romance 😛

William Dampier is definitely worth a read if you ever get time. He wrote several books as well, and was one of the first documented “discoverers” of Australia. He was quite a fascinating figure.

How’s your various writings going?

@seekjustice I’ve missed you too!

Wow, a planned romance, huh? 😛  Well, the romances in your previous books have been the subject of so much discussion here, I’ve a feeling the new one is going to be a hit as well. 😉

And a pirate/botanist?  That sounds really interesting.  I never considered those two professions/hobbies going to…[Read more]

@valtmy

Hello!

@rochellaine

Hello! I’ve missed you lately 😀

My current book is a retelling of the life of pirate/botanist/navigator William Dampier, and Jeanne Baret, the botanist who was the first woman to circumnavigate the globe. To be honest, I’ve enjoyed the intense amounts of research I’ve done more than the actual book writing so far, but its really…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hey there!

I can’t stay for long, but…how’s it going?

Also, what’s your newest book about?
