@valtmy 😛 Sorry.  Here’s one. @seekjustice

If your character were to star in a musical, which one would it be? (Sorry, Valtmy, I’m not sure how many musicals you’ve seen.  But I think you’ve seen a few, right?)

@valtmy 😛 Sorry.  Here’s one.

@rochellaine

It’s your turn to ask a question.

It seems that both you and @seekjustice are rather forgetful today. 😛

@valtmy I would probably choose Yishay.  After all, he’s part of a gang-ish group, so he’d know how to get around in tough places and be able to get info from “unsavory characters”. 😛

@seekjustice I think Bathshua would probably be called Vanity (because her life seemed full before, but her father’s vanity – emptiness – consumed it, and also…[Read more]

@seekjustice

That’s true. There is a limit to the poetic potential of the English language to make such names acceptable. Let me give you an example of a Korean name: Sunja.

This name is name out of two characters in the Korean language: ‘Sun’ – meaning to obey, submit and go along with and ‘Ja’ – meaning child. Together, it means an obedient…[Read more]

@valtmy

some of those names are incredibly cruel. Especially the ones meant to mark out illegitimate children. It’s most definitely a good thing that only the good ones (Joy, Faith, Grace) remain with us now 😛

@seekjustice

How can it be my turn when you just answered a question that I posed? 😛

My, that’s a hard question. I’ve searched through some Puritan names but given how far removed in time and space ancient Korea is from the Puritans, I can’t imagine Myeongwol having any of those names. Granted, some of the names of the characters do directly…[Read more]

@valtmy

I thought it was your turn. Granted, I am slightly confused today, as has been established already.

Based on the scene I just wrote, here’s a question. If you’re character was to be given a “Puritan” name (such as Joy, Lament, Peace, Faith, etc) what would it be? would it contrast or fit their personalities?

@seekjustice

Your question?

@valtmy

Hopeful, Courageous’ sister. She’s a geek when it comes to medical things, and I can just imagine that being a solver of murder mysteries would be exactly in her line of interest.

@rochellaine

Ah, yes. Of course. I believe that stories should end with a spiritual victory. In that case, yes, I suppose I can say that QOD will have a happy ending. 😛

Hmm… it will depend on whether Myeongwol was suddenly transported to 2018 or have always lived in modern times.

If she has always lived in the modern era, I imagine lots of…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yilla would hate it. she wouldn’t like modern culture or technology and she would be miserable. High-Praise would love it. she’d love social media and easy access to so many things that she’s never had and she’d like driving fast cars. Courageous would like it too, as @valtmy pointed out. he could have speech therapists who actually…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Ooh, spoilers!  😛 But generally speaking, Bathshua would prefer to forget the circumstances of her father’s death.

@valtmy

Okay, here’s a question:

How would your character react to living in 2018? 😛

@valtmy

My argument is that while the beginning or middle of stories can be depressing, the ending should always be happy, because the entirety of our story has a happy ending: God wins. 😉

Even Romeo and Juliet, one of the most famous tragedies of all time, has a good thing happen in the end: the Montague and Capulet families resolve their…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Myeongwol would choose to forget her really embarrassing and traumatic first meeting with Yi Yeongshin.

@rochellaine

Your turn to ask a question.

@valtmy @rochellaine

Oh, my turn is it?

What’s one memory your character would forget if they could?

@seekjustice

What’s your question? 😛

@valtmy

That’s a good question, I like it 😀

High-Praise is into waving her hand imperiously and fiddling with her ring. Yilla is one of those sit very still and stare people into submission types of people, but she does have a habit of resting her chin on her hands and thinking in that pose. Courageous cracks his knuckles and plays with the…[Read more]

@rochellaine

No spoilers 😉 But, really, you have something against depressing stories?

Let me assure you that my book is meant to be a cute and funny story. Though @seekjustice might disagree since she’s read Part 2. But Part 3 is when the real adventure finally gets to begin so there’ll be more cute and funny moments from then on and I’m l…[Read more]

@valtmy My first thought was “I don’t think she has any – I should probably give her one…” 😉

Bathshua does fix her veil quite often, though.  I’m not sure if that can count, since there are very few women who are able to wear veils without fixing them repeatedly throughout the day, 😛 but it is something she does, and I’ve mentioned her doing…[Read more]
