@valtmy ah I REALLY wish I could read your book, but sadly I’m super-duper busy right now with multiple things + beta reading for someone else as well. So sorry 🙁 Keep up the good work though!

Tagging some more people for you just in case they didn’t see this @alia @kaya-young @skredder @dekreel @dragon-snapper

Hey guys. Thanks for the comments so far. 😛 I have finished chapters 4 to 6 so I’m putting them up for review. Access can be requested for here. I know some of you won’t be able to commit to reading everything. That’s perfectly fine (no stress here). I’ll be happy if you just sh…[Read more]

Well, I have a prayer request.
Tomorrow morning I am going to be in a 4th of July (America’s Independence day) parade with my horse club (yay horse club. I don’t know if I told you guys that I found I place to ride. Well I found a place to ride.). I’m a little nervous cause it will be my first parade in a while (I was in a dance parade once or…[Read more]

@alia Sometimes I get confused about what he wants me to do next too.
Moving is hard. I moved last year.
Praying for both of those things.

Another prayer request real quick.

A friend of mine in China just found out that her family has to find a different home by the end of this month. Where the are right now is right next to her husband’s work so it’s really convenient. They have two small children (I think the ages are 3 and 2 but I might be a year off in either direction).…[Read more]

I would say that a parody is a work that pokes fun at another work or a certain genre of works. For example, so far in my WIP every single one of the drama performances is based on a real life show. 😛

Maybe I should stop calling it a romance parody but a things-I-have-watched parody.

@valtmy *chuckles nervously* um, yeah.  She actually hasn’t been up to much.  That’s the problem. 😛  But I’ll work on it. 😀

Okay, that’s what I thought.  Now, follow up question: What’s your definition of parody?  Not the dictionary definition, but what do you think when you hear the word “parody?”

@rochellaine

No need to be hard on yourself. I’m not the one who only just completed her exams. 😛 (Though I’ve been waiting to find out what Chara has been up to…)

For lack of a better description, yes, my WIP is a romance parody.

@valtmy Wow, haha. 😛  I’m not sure what that means but I think you’re saying I need to update soon.  😛

I have a question.  Your book is supposed to be a romance parody, right?  Or did I get that mixed up with something else?  During my semi-break I kind of lost focus on everyone’s WIPs but SeekJustice’s, so sorry if I’m remembering wrong.

@rochellaine

Oh. No I don’t think you have.

It’s OK. I’ll be uploading three more chapters so you can do six at once if you want. 😛

@valtmy I didn’t mean I had that attitude yet, just that I need to have that attitude. 😛

And I was just thinking, I never ended up commenting on your first chapters, did I? 😮

@rochellaine

That’s a good attitude. One which I should adopt as well. 😛

I think I’ll do some editing and upload my new chapters soon. Hopefully I’ll have more motivation after that.

@valtmy I think I have a section almost ready for beta reading too, I just have to accept that it’s not going to be perfect the first time around and that’s why I’m putting it up for you all to read… 😉

@rochellaine

Haha I talked with her for a little while about this before and she says angsty parts can be hard too.

I do have enough new material to put up for beta reading though so maybe I’ll do so for a change of pace. But I’ll have to get over myself before I can do that.

@rochellaine @valtmy I’m “here”, but we’ll probably be leaving for town soonish. I’ll be able to chat though one I’m at the library.

Angst is so fun though. Sometimes. Sometimes it isn’t.

@valtmy Same here. 🙂

“Angst is not very fun to write” Hm, maybe you should talk to @seekjustice 😛  She seems to handle it pretty well…

@rochellaine

Hey. I’m trying to find motivation to continue my WIP *sigh*

Angst is not very fun to write.

@seekjustice @valtmy I’m on now.  Are either of you working on anything?

@seekjustice Are you going to be around in a little while?  Right now we have a few guests and the girls are chatting in the girls’ room, but we should be going to bed in a bit and I’ll write then.
