@alia I might be on later, but I’m not sure. Will you be on tonight?

@alia

Okay, so the basic rundown is this:

1. Prologue to You’ll Never Be Alone: Lucie comes to meet her father who has been imprisoned for her whole life and takes him home to live with her.

2. The Way It Ought to Be (London) to The Trial: introduces the character of Carton and Charles is framed for treason by Mr Barsad.

3. Reflection to…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Have a good time at Newsies!!! *tries not to be toooo jealous*

@alia

That’s great news! Do you mean the musical or the book? I can attempt to explain it either way.

@alia And I had to take a break as well, because…housework. 🙂  I got to start reorganizing our library; fun stuff. 😛

But now, it’s my day to go see Newsies!  So I have about half an hour and then I’ve got to get ready to go.

Are you still here?  How’s it going now?

@alia My characters usually have a little bit of me in them, and a little bit of my brother, my sister, or my friend, or a random person I meet on the street.  🙂  But this particular character she was talking about actually has several very similar character traits to me, which are pretty obvious to my siblings when they read the story.  I us…[Read more]

@alia Aaand, I’m back. 😛

Oh, that’s wonderful. 🙂  It’s amazing to realize that I have the power to save the lives of fictional people in a fictional world which exists at present only in the mind of a girl who lives quite far away from me, and whom I’ve never met.

*sits back and contemplates my impact on society* – that is – fictional…[Read more]

@valtmy My problem isn’t infodumps as much as it is “bridge” sections.  I don’t know if there’s an actual name for them, but they’re the parts where you go down in between the exciting passages and have to get the characters from one place to another.  There are things that have to happen in between, so I can’t just skip the bridge and go on to t…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Goodbye! 🙁

@valtmy Oh, okay.  SeekJustice is in Australia, about sixteen hours ahead of me.  Usually I stay up really late and talk with her at about 11:00-2:00 a.m. while it’s only lunch time for her. 😛   What are you working on right now?

@alia Hello!  How’s it going? (I’m on and off right now too, since I’m watching my litt…[Read more]

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira @skredder @valtmy @alia I’m back!  Is anyone else writing?

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice @ariel-ashira @alia @valtmy Anyone on?

@rochellaine @ariel-ashira @alia Anyone on? I’m writing/beta reading for a bit.

@ariel-ashira It kinda feels like KP is being abandoned, doesn’t it? 🙁

@alia  I went ahead and did Mitch as well…hope you like him!

@alia  I drew Joy for ya.  She’s a cutie.  🙂  🙂

@ariel-ashira @alia @skredder @jenwriter17 @catwing Hi, I’m writing!  Will anyone join me?

@alia Trying to make me feel better? haha. 😛  Oh well, if I could actually think of things to write I could write the posts pretty easily.  It’s coming up with topics that’s hard.  I guess I’ll learn once I get more used to it.

Okay, happy writing!  I’ve got to get going and go get myself gone. 😛  It’s late.  (It must be late, if I’m feeli…[Read more]

@alia Unfortunately, no.  I am not having an easier time. 🙁  My novel and short stories have not progressed more than a few inches down the page over the past few days.  I have great plans for them, however… 😛

By the way, how is it even possible to write two blog posts and start three more in a day?!  I feel happy if I figure out how to wri…[Read more]

@alia The barn raising scene is amazing, of course!  It’s really funny, especially the expressions on the brothers’ faces, but the acrobatics are so cool!  For lyrical songs I actually like the more upbeat ones, because they’re funnier. 😉  Sobbin’ Women, Bless Yore Beautiful Hide, and Goin’ Courtin are probably my favorites, but I do like Wo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, apparently she likes Edelweiss, but nothing else.  She says they’re boring.  The reason, I believe, is that she likes songs from which she can tell the plot as they’re singing.  Songs like in opera, where the people sing, “We must go and kill the king,” instead of, “isn’t it fun to always sing.” 😛

I like songs that you can si…[Read more]
