@seekjustice, I didn’t really like Justice in book one either because I felt like he was a robot. He didn’t feel very realistic to me except for him not wanting anyone to die. But even that was more like he didn’t want anyone else to die.
Oh good, I thought for sure I was going crazy with that thought

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, doesn’t the song Proud of Your Boy from Aladdin kinda reflect both Justice and Zac during the bar fight? not completely, but somewhat?
(it probably doesn’t but I’m listening to that broadway right now and that song just came on and so that thought lept into my brain)

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, I have to say, I liked Zac a lot better than Justice from the beginning. I mean, I knew he was going to turn out better, but even before he did I could see that he was acting the way he was as protection against getting hurt. Which made him opening up to Chessy so easily and quickly a bit confusing.

@rochellaine, I don’t know. If she is willing to kill someone as wonderful as Jonas I think she is capable of anything…

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
@seekjustice, uh huh, I’m holding you to that
Thats what I thought. I actually can’t remember if you even showed us Jonas’ death scene of if we just found out when Chessy (or Justice) did.
Oh, and I would have cried, but every time I started getting emotionally involved I kept getting called away until the tears were gone.

@seekjustice, Hey, I’m here for the moment. But I might be popping in and out. I’m about to go clean a bathroom.
oh, and really? Zac? let me guess, Quillon dies in book 3?
(Zac’s death was better than Jonas’ in my opinion with how it was written. it felt more personal)

So I’m not quite sure where to share this, but I guess this will work.Â

@Alia I’m just moving here ’cause I don’t wanna sabotage the Writer’s Corner…
Yay that you love the song!
Eh, extra time is ever elusive. I guess that’s better than not having anything to post though. ;P How long have you been a blogger, and how long have you had that blog up?
-
@emma-flournoy plus moving here makes it easier to keep track of what on earth the conversation is about
Have you ever listened to Where Were You by Francesca Battistelie?
I think I started my writing blog about a year and a half ago. Broken journey was at the end of May.
Do you have a blog? Or does that fall under you not being a writer?
-
Quite.
I haven’t, but I will now.
I don’t have a blog, but not because I’m not a writer. I think it’d be fun (and educational, and hopefully useful to others) to blog, I just don’t have time. If I had one, it would probably be a mish-mash of book and movie rantings, telling people to go read Kate’s books, music stuff, general life/spiritual…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy, hey, sorry for not getting back to you til now, this past week has been a bit crazy at my house.
thats the thing I like about my blog is that I can post something whenever I have time.
your idea for what you blog would be sounds like something I would read all the time
Nope, I live in the States. It seems as though I get asked…[Read more]
-
That’s fine, and totally no pressure, I just wanted to make sure you’d seen it. I’ve found that the notification system isn’t entirely reliable sometimes. ;P
Yaaay for flexibility.
Oh, well that’s an encouraging thought. ;D
Huh. I wonder why I thought that.
So your life’s been crazy, eh? Mine too. Seems a generally recurring theme the older I…[Read more]

I wonder, could the reason that our lives keep getting busier as we get older be at all related to the fact that older people have more responsibility? Mind-blown
It’s strange, I watch my little sisters act as though the day is so long and I’m over here thinking that there isn’t enough time in the day to actually get anything…[Read more] -
I know, really. O.o Such shocking revelations.
Precisely that. And in that I fervently hope and pray they relish it while they can, ’cause it sure as sartin’ ain’t gonna last forever.
That makes a lot of sense. I read my Bible early in the morning before the day really starts, but I think a here-and-there throughout the day would be good to add…[Read more]

My mom printed of a ton of bible verses a few years ago and she puts them all over the house. So thats one way that I am able to read scripture all day
-
Oh yeah, that’s awesome. We do have a lot of that too; sometimes I’m so used to them I don’t really stop and read them anymore, so that could well be a problem. What’s your favorite passage or section? It’s nigh on impossible to choose, I know, and that’s an impossible question, so just, what’s one of your favorites. ;P
-
Thats the downside of having them up all the time, but my mom changes them every now and then so that keeps me looking at them some times.
One that I often turn to is Psalm 71:1-6
In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
turn your ear to me and save me.

That’s a great one. One I find helpful is Ecclesiastes 3:1-15.
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:2 A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
3 A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
4 A time to weep,
And a time to…[Read more]

Alia replied to the topic PRAYER REQUESTS #2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
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]

@emma-flournoy, I love that song!
I’m glad you like my blog. I have quite a few post waiting to be written, but its hard to find time to actually write them.

@Alia Heh, I get that. One of my specialties. So’s eating, come to think of it. *wry grin*
Well I’m fixing to be mainly off the computer for the night, so no, but that doesn’t mean the conversation can’t continue. Just mebbe not totally live-time. 😛 Which I don’t mind in the least.

@alia This is cool! Are we allowed to print it off and use it for our own characters?

@jenwriter17, yep, no problem
