@seekjustice Okay, cool. Too bad, because I love WWI slang, but it’ll be easier for you, probably. 🙂
Hm, let me see… number one, Don’t let him say “bloke” for the first while, but he will definitely say it as a joke at one point! Americans love copying and making fun of other English dialects and slang words we’re not used to. (It do…[Read more]

@seekjustice I LOVE studying slang!
First, a couple of clarifications: American slang and idioms are very diversified depending on what part of the country we live in. In certain parts of the country we have even almost different dialects altogether. 😛 So, thanks for saying he’s in Ohio.
But…secondly, what time period is this? Is it for y…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 One pair of boots coming up!
Where to find the best fast food?! Do you remember the opening of my book where Chara looks through the airport restaurants for “anything that’s not greasy or sugar-saturated?” 😛 I’m afraid she wouldn’t be all that grateful for Rin’s advice. She’s a bit too ladylike and conservative. 😉 Raelyn, on t…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Haha!
Oh, the boots being ruined is probably the worst of all, isn’t it? I hadn’t thought of that. I did plan for her to get a new pair, but I don’t think I told her that yet, so maybe that’s the trouble. 😉
You know, I realize that what my characters go through isn’t necessarily horrible compared to what your or SeekJustice’s c…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, she keeps trying to have panic attacks, and I can’t have her doing that because it slows the action down and makes her seem like an annoying character. But every time I delete one panic attack or freak out session she just goes and has another!
So I’m giving her a time-out until she comes to her senses.
Although, I guess…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, it’s the series I have on my website. I thought you had seen that? Six are published so far, but it’s been two years since I published the last one, and I’ve had requests for another, so I’m trying to write a seventh book. They’re pretty short, only about 14,000 words each, so I should be able to write it pretty qu…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Actually, not at the moment. 😀 I’m working on the seventh book in my kids series. (Four Children’s Adventures.)  I’ll probably be going back to my western in a little bit.
How’s your dystopian coming? Are your characters still alive? 😛

@jenwriter17 Yes, I’m here! What are you working on?

@jenwriter17 I don’t know, but probably. 🙂 See you soon!

@seekjustice No, I don’t think he could stand it. 🙂
Little Women is an amazing book!! Have you read any of the sequels? We have Little Men and Jo’s Boys. I don’t really like Jo’s Boys much at all.
You know what? I actually just found out about the musical a couple of hours ago too, and haven’t yet listened to any of the songs. 😀 But I rea…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hahaha!! That’s hilarious, but actually true! 😛 What about the third book? No…never mind. I don’t want to know.
Tonight I was singing “I’m the King of New York” when my sister informed me she thinks I’ve fallen in love with that song? Hm. I think it’s just that I’m going to see the musical in a few days. The ninth! It’s…[Read more]

@seekjustice I think that sounds good. She needs to still take the bullet for Justice, though, not just get shot while walking back to warn them.

@seekjustice Things are okay. 🙂
Have you found a solution to your problem with Sapphire?

@seekjustice Hello? I’m here, temporarily.

@alia Are you still here?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
@seekjustice Sorry! 🙂 (But I’ve left suddenly in the past. Especially when it gets really late. If I leave suddenly it’s usually because I just crash and fall asleep. 😛 )
Oh yes. That will make you feel better! …did you find a cupcake?
Sorry, but I still haven’t thought of anything. I’m going to leave completely now, I think. But I’…[Read more]

@seekjustice I don’t know if you got my post saying I was leaving, but I’m back now for a very little bit.
Oh yes, now I remember. That wouldn’t be as easy a fix as some edits, but I don’t think it would be too hard to make it a semi-accident.

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
@seekjustice Does she intentionally try to catch the bullet herself, or is she trying to push him out of harm’s way when she gets struck? In the case of the latter I think it would be perfectly reasonable, since she wouldn’t be actually trying to give her life for him. What do you think?
I’m going to disappear for about an hour to watch s…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m upset because I want to use a certain picture for my blog post, but don’t know how to use it without being afraid of copyright stuff, so I’m trying to find a private picture that will be boring, but which at least I will own myself.
Sure, *brings bag of dirt* plot hole did you say? Let’s fill it up. I’ve got some special s…[Read more]
