I don’t know. You have read a little of mine already, haven’t you? So you know my MC isn’t the most sympathetic person around. A lot of my MC’s suffering is very much her own fault so your MC may not really empathise. Not that I know much about your MC. You are not speaking of Chara right but another story?

@valtmy My MC is in a pit of despair as well. 🙁  Guess they can be in a pit of despair together.  Do you think they would commiserate well?

@rochellaine

My MC is still wading through her pit of despair…

Until, ahem, a certain someone comes along… 😉

@valtmy Hey, how’s it going?

@rochellaine

Yep.

Hey, I’m back.

@seekjustice What musical is that?

@valtmy You still around?

@valtmy
aw, just when I was starting to get to know you.

come check up on us every now and then! And I hope your job goes well

@rochellaine

Ah, that’s probably what it is.

Hey though, my favourite musical at the moment is a romantic comedy. 😛

Its at least half an hour into town and we haven’t left yet so it’ll probably be an hour or so.

@seekjustice Cool, let me know if you do. 😀  Oh, you’ve probably heard of Russ Tamblyn because he plays the absolutely adorable youngest brother, Gideon, in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, which is the movie nearly everyone here has seen but you, and everyone loves to talk about, but which you probably wouldn’t like because no one dies in it.…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Your way sounds far more effective than my cringing-over-each-word-I-type. 😛

@rochellaine

Hey. See you later.

@rochellaine

Oh yes, I’ve been meaning to watch/listen to West Side Story. I’ll have to see if our library has a DVD of it. 😀 I’ll listen to it anyway, if I get time 😀 I feel I’ve heard of Russ Tamblyn before, but I can’t think why.

@valtmy

Glad to hear you’re still loyal 😉 *wipes proud tear*

I hope your new job goes well (and your book too 😀 ). We looked forward to any time you’re able to come on the Writers’ Corner. 🙂

@seekjustice It’s “Gee Officer Krupke” from West Side Story.  West Side Story is a Romeo and Juliet retelling set among the New York street gangs during the 60s.  So the boys in the song have New York accents, like the Newsies, and the song is complaining about the adult authority figures, like Newsies.  It’s a bit different though.  Hope you lik…[Read more]

@rochellaine

What’s it called? I’ll be going into town today, so I’ll probably be able to get some time at the library. 😀 And because of that, I’ll probably be going very soon.

@seekjustice Oh my goodness!  I was just watching a song clip (that we’ve seen before) with my sister and laughing over it with her, but it really reminded me of Newsies!  Since you love Newsies so much, I think there’s a chance you might like it. 😉  Are you able to watch YouTube today?

@valtmy

*sighs*

So many good friends leaving.

*unsheaths Babylonian sabre* As Queen of this Realm, I knight you a knight of the Realm.

Once a Knight of The Kingdom of Pen, always a Knight of the Kingdom of Pen*

*Whacks you with sabre* *Very gently, of course*

@rochellaine Welcome! *bows*

@valtmy For me, I tend to concentrate on plot and characters in the first draft and who cares whether the words make any sense or not (as I’ve been reading through my draft I sometimes stop and stare at the ridiculous things I’ve written 😛 ). In the second draft, I embellish the plot and make sure the characters are…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Ooh yeah that feeling sucks 🙁

Since I’ve never really completed a novel-length project like this before, how different would you say your first and second drafts are in terms of the writing? I think the reason why I am progressing so slowly is because I am pressuring myself to get the prose all right the first time so I want to put…[Read more]

@seekjustice @valtmy I have returned! 😀
