@seekjustice Ah, I see.

A method all your own.  Cool. 😛

Well, I’m departing now.  Goodnight!

@rochellaine

Oh and yep. There’s a lot of outlining methods. I use my own method which seems to work for me and is fairly simple.

@rochellaine

Strange and confused can be fun, definitely, but I prefer more realistic scenarios.

I don’t think I’ve ever written anything purely comedic, but I don’t mind watching or reading something purely for fun every now and then. The thing is, my life and family is fairly comedic so I prefer to look for more serious things in fiction 😛

@seekjustice Okay, now I’m really going to have to read King Solomon’s Mines and see if it’s worse than Lysbeth and Pearl Maiden. 😛

But isn’t confused and strange fun?  I love writing confused and strange stories.  Do you ever write comedies?  We established the other night that your characters don’t always die. 😉

@rochellaine

Not scared me in a bad way, but thrilled and creeped me out and fascinated me. Haggard just scares me 😛

I only wrote 1k but it was terribly confused and strange. So I went back to my outline. Have you tried the Snowflake method? You might prefer that way of outlining.

@kaya-young Do you hate romance?  My absolute favorite series of all time is on Gutenberg, minus a couple of books.  It’s the Patty Fairfield series by Carolyn Wells.  It’s not all romance, but romance does play a big part.

Or Westerns?  A couple of my other favorite authors from Gutenberg are William MacLeod Raine and B.M.Bower. (There are like…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, I see (and The Magician’s Nephew scared me too).

I don’t even remember much about it, just that it terrified me when I read it years ago 🙂

@rochellaine Yes, I do! 🙂

@kaya-young Interesting.  I haven’t read any of those.  Do you like lighter, less-known works at all?

@rochellaine @seekjustice  I must bid you both goodnight! Happy writing!

@seekjustice Well, The Magician’s Nephew terrified me, so, that’s not much to go on. 😉

I absolutely loved the three Haggard his-fics that I read, Pearl Maiden, Lysbeth, and another I can’t remember the name of.  I didn’t like the ending of the third one because it was sad, but I liked the story, and it didn’t freak me out.  Very susp…[Read more]

@seekjustice Wow! You go girl!

@rochellaine Recently I’ve read An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde (which is very funny),  1,000 Things Worth Knowing by Nathaniel C. Fowler Jr. (Not really much worth knowing, but some interesting stuff), and My Chinese Marriage by Mae M Franking (A great biography type book).

@rochellaine

Just curious, why did you suggest it to Kaya if it was too horrifying for you?? I’ve only read King Solomon’s Mines and it terrified me, and I’ve never been able to look at Haggard again.

Hey. Its going pretty well. Yesterday I had an idea to start writing the third book of my trilogy without an outline, but I got 1,000 words in,…[Read more]

@kaya-young It’s way to weird for my tastes, so I definitely don’t blame you. 😛 (Never read it, but the synopsis was enough to horrify me.) I do like Haggard’s his-fics though.  They’re not weird.

Really?  Which ones?  I’ve probably read a couple of hundred books on Gutenberg. 😉 But…there are thousands.

@seekjustice Hey!  How’s it going?

@rochellaine  *Blushes with shame* No… I quit. It was just a bit too weird for my taste. However, that did get me started on reading random Gutenberg books, which is fun. 😃

@rochellaine @kaya-young

I’ll be here on and off for a bit 🙂

@kaya-young Cool.

Oh, by the way, did you ever finish reading She by Haggard?

@rochellaine  yes, I’m back! I’m working on a few things for my blog. 🙂

@kaya-young Whoa, you’re here??  Cool!! 😀 😀 Haven’t seen you in a while.  What are you working on?
