@alia 😛 How touching.

@seekjustice Haha, I got your tag, and that’s why I’m here. (Other than the fact that I just got home from a family activity and would have gotten on to check anyhow because I do that every day around 4:00 and 5:00 because that’s when you wake up…yeah, other than that. 😉 )

Have you listened to anything else from that…[Read more]

@alia AHHHH!!! I love that musical so much!

@rochellaine I did tag you earlier. I hold no responsibility. I was just listening to “Gee Officer Krupke” though.

@seekjustice @alia Talking about musicals without me?!!  How dare you???

@alia Ah, maybe that’s why I like it (I’m not the hugest fan of Broadway). What’ve you been listening to lately?

@alia

I’ve listened to a few lately but they’re mostly German ones. Have you ever listened to Dear Evan Hansen?

@alia

I’m offended 😛 Of course I didn’t!

@alia

I’m finishing off the second draft of Stars!!!

@alia Sometimes it is hard to find the right words to write down, so I think, “But I’m a writer.” Yeah, well that doesn’t mean we always know how to express what we want to say (just maybe we’re better at it. Poor non-writers. ;P )

@alia

Okay, bye!

@alia

Maybe you could try looking up things like touch deprivation. I don’t think that’s exactly what you want but it could be helpful.

@alia

Ergh, that’s a pity. I’ve only heard mostly good things about it.

Sometimes the internet is super helpful and sometimes its the opposite.

And I don’t forget everything, not the important parts, but often I completely forget the subplots 🙂

@alia @rochellaine

It just means I forget books about a week after reading them. 🙂 which means maximum enjoyment in rereading. I’m not so good at forgetting people’s names though, so I will remember that something terrible happens to Ashley. 😉

@seekjustice I’m not sure whether that’s a good or a bad thing… 😛  Does that mean you just don’t remember spoilers people tell you, or does it mean you can’t discuss books after you read them…? 😛

@alia I like to write sci-fi when I don’t have to do much research. 😉  I love researching history, and everyday – or non-everyday – things, but I…[Read more]

@alia

Cool! I’ve yet to read Ender’s Game but I’v heard a lot of good things about it.

In that case, I think the situation would be quite traumatic, but they wouldn’t necessarily be isolated. Though they do lack parent and adult figures which could potentially be problematic.

@seekjustice Haha, yes! 😛 By the way, speaking of Alia’s story, you should definitely read the Mars Diaries by Sigmund Brouwer.  Seriously.  They’re amazing. 😀

@alia 😉  You like The Princess Bride?

I’m very interested in how you make your new story different from Brouwer’s.  I love the premise, because of course I love his books and I lov…[Read more]

@alia

No worries. I just rolled with it.

Oh yes! I was stalking the topic the other day and saw that. It sounds pretty cool and reminds me a bit of Ender’s Game.

I definitely think that sort of isolation would be damaging, but maybe not as much as complete isolation. Are they allowed to be friends with each other or do they just exist with each other?

@alia

we’re here for you. 🙂

@alia

Awesome 😀

I’d do some research, but I’d hazard to guess that the consequences wouldn’t be good. I think it also depends on what sort of isolation it is. Is it isolation from absolutely everyone? Isolation from everyone but one or two select individuals? Isolation from everything except a group (say, a church)?

I think each of those w…[Read more]

@alia

Awesome! What are you outlining?

@valtmy

Oops, I forgot your new job! Maybe I’ll see you later then 😀

@alia

I find that writers know how to write the least when they can’t hide behind their characters. But I’ll keep praying for you and I hope God brings you through this time soon. 🙂
