Lunar Inklings

@seekjustice Oh, yeah.  😀  I forgot it was Sunday for you!

Okay, the question is based on @jenwriter17 ‘s first chapter of her WIP which I just critiqued for her.  In it she kills a character, and I thought she didn’t have enough backstory for the killing to make reasonable sense.  But neither of us were sure about it, so since you’re an experien…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Yes, it was recent.  I’m the last one who posted something there. 😀

@jenwriter17 Okay, bye!  And thanks. 🙂  See you soon!

When @seekjustice finally decides to show up 😀 I’ll give her an unbiased account of the discussion we had 😉 to let her know what the question is, and she can message you with her thoughts, okay? 😀

@jenwriter17 Thank you for letting me!  I enjoyed it.  And I’m glad you aren’t too scarred by your first experience with a first-draft reader! 😀  Did you see my post in the KP Captions topic about beta readers?  I think Josiah’s face at the end perfectly expresses the authors’ feelings when their beta readers dissemble and dissect their novels. 🙂

@seekjustice Are you around?  @jenwriter17 and I have a question about the manner and timing in which she killed one of her characters, so since you’re the most notorious character murderer around here we’d like you to give us your input.

@jenwriter17 You want comments directly in the document, right?

@jenwriter17 I’m here now.  Actually reading your story right now, then I’ll probably work on my western or that blog post.

@jenwriter17 It worked! 🙂  I’ll read it in a few minutes and then let you know what I think.

@jenwriter17 I just sent in a request for access.  You’ll see my last name on the email address it shows. (You know my real name now, from my website. 🙂 )

@seekjustice Yes, but Oliver Twist, Le Musical is not as old as the Les Miserables musical.  I checked, and its not the same as Oliver!. 🙂

It’s based on the writing of the American Declaration of Independence.  I know it won’t mean as much to you since you’re Australian, but it’s a great historical musical.  And the music is more in a modern sty…[Read more]

@seekjustice Especially since Les Mis wasn’t written until 1845, which was 8 years after Oliver Twist was written? 😀  No, I don’t think that has anything to do with it.  But I know the songs from Oliver! so let me listen to the le Musical version and see if they’re the same…

On another note, but on the same topic, I just had a bell in my head…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😀 I’m sorry!  Honestly, I would’ve told you!  I just didn’t know you would be on at this time of day, and Jen asked what I was working on…so I told her! :0 😉

Oliver Twist casts singing in French?!  What is that from?  Oliver! the musical?  Or is it another adaption?

@jenwriter17 Oh, no!  I totally am fine with you commenting!!! 😀  Thanks for doing so, actually, since it feels less empty.  I’ve really got to run, but I’ll explain later what I meant.

@jenwriter17 I sing all the time. 😀  It’s not as obvious here, since it’s all written posts, but if you met me in real life it would probably be pretty obvious. 🙂

Thanks, I think I’ll probably try that then.

Oh, and part of the reason I haven’t announced it on KP yet is because I want to keep the two separate.  I’m using my website for bu…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh yeah, I haven’t officially announced it on KP yet, though my dad posted about it on Facebook so I’ve had a few visitors.  It’s not just a blog, it’s a website.  I have all my books and descriptions of them up there. Right now they can’t be bought on the website, but I’m planning to attach a link to a Square account in the near f…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I’m working on my western, as usual. 🙂

But I’m also brainstorming as to what in the world does one write as the second post on a blog?  First posts are easy.  You introduce yourself and tell what the blog is about.  Second posts?  That’s the first post with actual blog content, and feels to me to be more of a first post than the r…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Hello there!  What are you working on?

@waterlily I looked over your blog earlier.  Congratulations!  I just started one myself and am having trouble figuring out what to write, so I was impressed with the way you wrote so much and so smoothly. 🙂

@jenwriter17 I actually was just about to announce that I’ve arrived! I’ll be here when you get here. 🙂
