There’s no point in writing unless we can make people sob uncontrollably
I guess there’s no point in any of my writing, in that case. 😛 Will you be disappointed when I tell you I don’t sob uncontrollably when reading your stuff? …I just weep uncontrollably… 😉
Oh, I miss you too!!! Are you on now? I can be on for a lit…[Read more]

@seekjustice The spy museum had lots of really cool spy gadgets that felt like they were right out of James Bond. 😀 There was a glove pistol, and umbrella gun, a bugged shoe (radio in the heel) and stuff like that. Also a lot of stories of spies. There was one guy who created a whole fake spy network, fooling the enemy into thinking it was re…[Read more]

@valtmy How’s it going?
Haha. 😛
@seekjustice You still around? We went to another place today that you should put on your “to visit” list. 😉 the International Spy museum! It was amazing. Really cool. 😀 Do you like stories of spies? You like wars, so it seems like you would…

@seekjustice I could never forget that one! You know, it’s actually the first ever writing by you that I read. Way back when you first posted it, and I didn’t know who you were, you’d never heard of me, and I promptly forgot the author of the story and didn’t find out until recently that it was actually you. 😉
What happens to the story now t…[Read more]

@seekjustice That’s so amazing about the competition!!! Which story was it?
I’m here now, for a little while. What about you?

@alia Thanks! Okay, I think I’ll just wait and read it on your blog. I’m getting ready for a trip and probably won’t have much time to read it right now anyway. 🙁

Rochellaine replied to the topic PRAYER REQUESTS #2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 8 months ago
@alia I’m sorry! That’s really hard. I’ll pray for you and her.
@seekjustice Oh, that’s not good. California had a very bad draught a couple of years ago, and they were having the same problem. (A few other states too, but CA was the worst.) And the government was really stupid about it and decided to give the relief water to the end…[Read more]

@seekjustice I don’t have the book. I think the only Austen books we have are Emma, Sense and Sensibility, and Pride and Prejudice. Oh, and Mansfield Park. Out of those four I hated one, liked another, and two were neutral, but I have no idea which book goes in which category, since I quit Austen after that. 😛
I only got Pride and Pr…[Read more]

@seekjustice Wonderful! It seems like it would be much more comedic than your Infinity series. 😛 But…but you hate Jane Austen. So, when and how did you convince yourself to read Northanger Abbey?
Oh, sounds great. 😀 I thought it would be something he’d say to Chessy, though, and it seemed like by the third book they’d be basically eng…[Read more]

Anyone on? @dekreel @catwing @jenwriter17
@alia Can I read your story?
@seekjustice I absolutely loved your idea for a Northanger Abbey retelling where the protagonist reads too many sci-fi novels!!! That would be hilarious!
And I completely wish you had put in “You disrupt the balance of my life!” That would be so cool. It’s one of the be…[Read more]

@catwing Hm, maybe it was a different girl. I remember someone coming to our booth and talking about my books and I asked her mom if it was okay if I recommended books with romance in them, and the mom said that the girl had read the LCS series. Guess I mixed you up with someone else. If it wasn’t you, I have no idea who she was…you’re the on…[Read more]

Yeah, that’s the tough part. 🙁
Ah, okay. You know, it’s actually one musical where the main plot isn’t romance…sort of. 😛 It’s more about a father and daughter, though it includes their love interests, of course. But yes, it’s quite funny.
And I’ll say goodnight now. Talk to you later!

@seekjustice Wait a minute, wait a minute!! “It’s hardly my fault that you people like talking about them so much.” ???? Who’s the one who wrote them in the first place, friend? 😛
Yes!! That would be quite nice. 😀 Sometimes I even change my voice so I can feel like I’m singing the two different parts correctly. 😉
Did you get a chance to…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yeah, yeah. You who wrote the books containing the two most talked-of couples on this forum… 😛 And two love triangles – if you count that awful way you changed Rain in the second draft of Stars. (yup, still complaining about that. 😉 )

@seekjustice They’re probably the least romance-y of any romance novels you could ever read. Like I said, they’re more about families than romance, usually. Or at least half and half.
You could always try one of her stand alone novels, and then if you didn’t like it you could get out of awkward conversations by just saying, “I probably read t…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hey, I’m here for a few minutes.
Well…Janette Oke’s books are not “mushy”. They’re more family books, with the romance there just as part of the life story. Especially in the Love Comes Softly series. I think probably half of her books start with the couple already married, and a lot of them are more about siblings caring for ea…[Read more]

@catwing I know you’ve read the Love Comes Softly series, though. Isn’t my memory good? 😛 So, that should prove you don’t dislike romance too much. But that’s what you said anyway. 😉
@seekjustice Don’t worry, I haven’t disintegrated. I’m busy right now, though. Might be around in an hour or so, or might go to sleep. I’ll let you know…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, oh!! Haha, I just remembered, I was looking through our sales a few days ago and saw that I’d sold one of those. I was quite surprised, since the only links are from the ministry website, so people are looking for my parents’ books, not mine.
Now the mystery is solved! 😀

@jenwriter17 Oh…oh my. 😛 How in the world did you find that??
Ohh…from the ministry website’s page on Lulu?
I hope you like it okay! The beginning (first several chapters) is very boring and forgettable. But if you can get past that, it gets a little better. 😉
Wow, you’ll be the first person on KP who has read that! 😀 This is exc…[Read more]

@seekjustice I see. 🙂 I love making up names!
Oh, wow. I love the rhythm of that poem!
Don’t worry. I’ve been going on tangents all night! 😛
Oh, that is strange. You need to try it out!! 😉 You should watch the pilot episode first, if possible, just to get the background, but then whatever order of episodes you want.
I’m leaving now. Goodnight!
