It just means I forget books about a week after reading them. 🙂 which means maximum enjoyment in rereading. I’m not so good at forgetting people’s names though, so I will remember that something terrible happens to Ashley. 😉

@alia

Cool! I’ve yet to read Ender’s Game but I’v heard a lot of good things about it.

In that case, I think the situation would be quite traumatic, but they wouldn’t necessarily be isolated. Though they do lack parent and adult figures which could potentially be problematic.

@rochellaine

When it comes to spoilers in books I have the memory of a walnut and so by the time I actually get around to reading it I’ll have forgotten 🙂

@rochellaine

I hadn’t heard of the Mars Diaries before your conversation the other day but I’ll definitely have to look them up now 🙂 they aren’t in the vein of what I usually read, but every now and again its good to read something out of your comfort zone 😀

@alia

No worries. I just rolled with it.

Oh yes! I was stalking the topic the other day and saw that. It sounds pretty cool and reminds me a bit of Ender’s Game.

I definitely think that sort of isolation would be damaging, but maybe not as much as complete isolation. Are they allowed to be friends with each other or do they just exist with each other?

@alia

we’re here for you. 🙂

@alia

Awesome 😀

I’d do some research, but I’d hazard to guess that the consequences wouldn’t be good. I think it also depends on what sort of isolation it is. Is it isolation from absolutely everyone? Isolation from everyone but one or two select individuals? Isolation from everything except a group (say, a church)?

I think each of those w…[Read more]

@rochellaine

That’s pretty much how it is 😛 It reminds me of when I try to explain musical plots to my family.

@alia

Awesome! What are you outlining?

@valtmy

Oops, I forgot your new job! Maybe I’ll see you later then 😀

@rochellaine Got your tag wrong 😀

Anyone around I’m editing my novel/reading a short story for a friend. 😀

@alia

I find that writers know how to write the least when they can’t hide behind their characters. But I’ll keep praying for you and I hope God brings you through this time soon. 🙂

@catwing

All right, Catwing, I am here to give you instruction in the way of the glorious character arc.

I’ll try to keep this concise:

So, I feel the trick to Character arcs are these two things. Basically, a character arc can’t just be the character going from A–B. I’ve read books/seen movies where the characters are one way at the start,…[Read more]

@alia so sorry, turns out I can’t write tonight. spending some time with my siblings. I might be on tomorrow or Monday even. Again, I’m so sorry!

@alia I might be on tonight, but it’ll most likely be late. How late do you wanna stay up? (can’t let @rochellaine and @seekjustice have all the late night fun 😉 )

@catwing

I’m currently getting ready for church so I don’t have time right now to answer your question, but  as soon as I get home I’ll give you a whole lecture on Character Arcs (hey, wasn’t slope a term invented by Daniel??)

I just put up another blog post today! Don’t worry, I won’t tag you every time I post, I just wanted to let y’all know. For some reason the email sent out that was supposed to notify of new posts only sent out one and not…[Read more]

@rochellaine

At least we’ll never run out of books to read….

Of course I’ll warn you. What sort of queen would I be if I didn’t?

Gracious goodness. 😛

Goodnight 🙂

@rochellaine

Well, I’ll have to put them on my list to read (as if that list wasn’t long enough already 😛 ).

Sounds interesting, I’ll have to look into that one as well!

Oh my word. Are there really people that…uneducated? Unfortunately, I can’t stop snickering about that now. And Australia’s something like 16 hours in front of you, so we’re…[Read more]

@rochellaine

In no particular way, one of them is pretty old. But Josh decided he was terrified of them and couldn’t ride until they were all gone. Apparently, in his eyes they are monsters who might eat him.

I’d have to check, but I believe its one on Sir Francis Drake, but I could be wrong. We could have a few actually.

What’s Lydia…[Read more]
