Hey guys. I’m here now 😛

@catwing Well, I kind of left.  Unintentionally. 😉  My little sister called me to help her with a sewing project, and then I decided to make peanut butter cups… random, I know. 😛

But I’m back now.

Plotting!  What fun.  I love plotting, except, when I plot my books they never get written.  It’s only the ones that I write spontaneously that…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I think which ever one you ride the least would feel different. 🙂
I like Arabians, Chincoteague, and ponies.

I just realized you may have left now… @rochellaine ah well. I got into plotting! I have to decide which character is going to have the third POV since I may have Cele wait till the second book, and then Jack could be in the First cause he seems like he could be fun.

@rochellaine Heyo! Nice to see you again too!
Yeah, I haven’t been on here much lately because I was dragging my feet on my rewriting process. 😛

@catwing Oh!  you are still here. 😛  Halloo.

@catwing Hey!  Sorry I didn’t see this until now…my tag didn’t work and I didn’t get an email.  I’m here now, though!  I guess you probably aren’t anymore, but if you are, it’s so nice to see you again!

@seekjustice @valtmy Sorry people, I fell asleep early last night.  Like, really early.  Right after family worship.  My sister texted me at 11…[Read more]

I am still here…
oops I messed up your tag @rochellaine

@alia That’s tough. I’ve had stuff like that before. You’re right it isn’t smart to go to war by yourself. 🙂
Praying.

@rochelaine @jenwriter17 @alia @kaya-young @dekreel @dragon-snapper @ethryndal @warrenluther04
I am finally back! Finally rewriting my poor novel. Anyone else?

@jenwriter17 Oh, pretty blog. I shall look forward to your posts.
Yes somehow I was half expecting a steampunk horse or a bright blue car. Silly me. 😛

Hey guys, some of you know that I went on a kinda hiatus to focus on my writing and to deal with some personal stuff.

The personal stuff is that I have been dealing with depression for a while now. When my family moved back to the states from the mission field I didn’t have anyone to talk to about what I was going through. I didn’t fit in to how…[Read more]

@valtmy

That’s good! There’s some books/shows I see and I just get dragged down and depressed by how dark they are. While straight-up comedy annoys me, I love humour in stories, particularly when they are very heavy (probably why I adore Charles Dickens)

Ah, interesting! I’ll have to look into it 😀

@seekjustice

Haha I just have been getting really sick of all the stories that try to be dark and edgy and take themselves way too seriously so I’m going for a different tone. Bad things happen, yes, but I am trying to maintain hope and retain a sense of humour.

42nd Street is basically a Broadway show about Broadway set during the Great…[Read more]

@valtmy

Right…I have to say I have never tried anything of the sort, so… 😀

All cool musicals! Particularly Les Mis :D. I haven’t heard of 42nd Street though.

@seekjustice

My WIP is a comedy. But it is also tragic. A tragicomedy. Laugh at my MC’s pain or cry at it. Both are acceptable. 😛

The musicals I’ve watched are pretty mainstream and mostly what I’ve seen on West End. Les Mis, Phantom, Wicked, Matilda, Legally Blonde, 42nd Street (as strange as it sounds, I got my story idea while watching this)…

@valtmy

Yes, definitely. Not that I like killing characters. Not at all. I must have been thinking of someone else’s WIP when I thought yours was a comedy. Either that or I just heard romantic parody and assumed it must be comedic because parodies usually are.

Oh yes, I adore German musicals. Particularly Mozart (the one I’m listening to…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Meanwhile, there’s only so much lack-of-death we can take 😛 I guess it’s good that my WIP is not really a romantic comedy otherwise I would not have been able to get you to help me beta read at all.

German musicals? I have watched quite a few musicals but I don’t think I ever heard of any German musicals in particular.

@valtmy

Poor @rochellaine 😀 She isn’t quite on board with the torturing/killing of characters yet. But we still love her 😛

I was watching a girl rant about The Greatest Showman, but I got bored so now I’m listening to German musicals.

@seekjustice

It’s OK. Considering all the things I’m going to put my characters through, I think I am just as bad if not worse than you. Let’s concern @rochellaine together 😛

Ooh what are you watching? I’m watching a teaser trailer of a Korean television show. It was from quite a while ago but the actor I like is just so adorable in it I can’t…[Read more]
