@jenwriter17 Oh, no I haven’t answered yet.  I think you asked me right as I was leaving one night, and I didn’t get a chance to reply.

So, let’s see…

Oklahoma! (1955) by Rogers and Hammerstein is really good.  The antagonist is rather scary, but I think you said your siblings have watched mildly scary stuff before, right?

Singin’ in the Ra…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, cool! I don’t think I know anyone I would class as a ISTJ. I’m pretty sure I know people of most other types. Though, I do know one girl and I’m not sure if she’s a INTJ, INTP or ISTJ….Once you get into Myers Briggs there’s no coming back.

And yep, it’s that novel!

@rochellaine

Nope, I haven’t.

Dear friend, you should know…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Daughter of Judas. 😉 How about you?

@seekjustice Have you ever read the book?

Also…huge question here: When did ridiculous become a negative thing?

@jenwriter17

*pats you on the head…or some other equally patronising thing*

I’m reading about characters with the ISTJ type at the moment, because my heroine for my new novel is an ISTJ and I don’t have a whole lot of experience dealing with them.

Unfortunately no. There’s been a few sprinkles, but nothing at all substantial. Keep…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice I got distracted reading about The Princess Bride, but I’m back now. 😉

@jenwriter17

I think I’m having KP withdrawals 😀

Yes, my birthday was on the sixth. So I’m technically the older 😛

HAPPY BIRTHDAY though!

@rochellaine @jenwriter17

HELLLOOO! I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve chatted to anyone on here. Even though it’s only been three days.

@seekjustice @valtmy @alia @catwing @dekreel Anyone around tonight?

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 @valtmy @dekreel @ariel-ashira @catwing

I’ll be here for a little bit, trying to write a blog post!

(also, if you’ve ever wanted to know anything about my book, let me know! I’m trying to come up with some random pieces of trivia and I’m finding it difficult…)

@valtmy

It was about six, so I think I wandered off and gpt distracted and then went for dinner.

I’ll probably have to go in a minute.

@valtmy

Sorry, I just kinda disappeared on you yesterday.

@valtmy

Ah, arranged marriages are another interesting point that a lot of people malign (though in some cases, how can you blame them?).

Something else you could try though, is an alternate history type thing. I have no much experience with that genre, but the plot could work in that sort of setting.

@valtmy

She sounds quite interesting. I should read more about her.

Well, then you’ll either have to choose to confront the issues or just make up a world where they don’t exist 😛

@valtmy

When did Marie Curie live? I can’t remember exactly how much formal education she had, but she was an extremely clever woman who definitely had a lot of knowledge (and would have made a good forensic scientist :P, which I’m sure would be helpful for your character).

When I create fictional countries/cultures I tend to make them a mash up…[Read more]

@valtmy

I don’t know. They’re new(ish) books, so they wouldn’t be in the public domain yet. Are you part of an online library like BorrowBox or Overdrive? They’d probably have some.

The thing I’ve noticed, in Western societies at least, which is what I know the most about, is the whole “you can’t do this because you’re a woman” is much more of a…[Read more]

@valtmy

I like the sound of that idea! Have you ever read the Brother Cadfael mysteries? They’re quite fun and they’re about a medieval monk during the first English civil war solving murders. I quite enjoy reading those, especially since it’s very obvious the author did her research.

@valtmy

Well, you’re my friend, so I would feel bad if I couldn’t overlook your annoying MC (and yes, she is annoying. I hope she gets better before the end). 😀 But when its just a book written by someone I don’t know, I have no patience.

@seekjustice

I’ve just got to pop back in here and say it’s hilarious that you have Joe Bloggs in Australia.  In America we have John Does. 😛

(At least I assume that’s what you meant by Joe Blogg.)

I will definitely answer your questions about his-fics in our next conversation. 🙂  Goodnight!

@valtmy

That’s the problem. I absolutely adore historical fiction but can’t stand half of it. Or more than half of it. But yes, I have an extreme affinity to the “Common man”, which leads me to reading a lot of war historical fiction, because the war (both first and second world wars) were really won by the courage of the average Joe Bloggs. I…[Read more]

@valtmy Yes, it’s funny – and kinda sad – how wrong modern perception of history is.  There are so many things the history books just don’t tell you, and so many things they tell you that are just fabricated because “winners write the history books.” 😉

Anyway, I’ve got to go now.  Goodnight!

@seekjustice Rochellaine’s next mission: Think of h…[Read more]
