@jenwriter17 Well, since you’re allowed to outline first, I would think it’s “legal.”  But I’m not in any way an expert on NaNoWriMo rules, having never done it before. 😛 (I’ve only attemped camp nano so far.)

Great! 😀

@jenwriter17 Oh, that’s interesting.  I thought you had to start from scratch for the full NaNoWriMo?

I can’t wait to read the revised version!  I really enjoyed the story when I read it. 🙂 (You will let me read it, won’t you? 😉 )

@jenwriter17 You just wrote a dystopian.  Is this in the same series/part two or is it a completely different book?

@jenwriter17 Hello!  I’m working on Daughter of Judas.

How’s it going?  Which WIP is this?

@rochellaine Are you still around? I’ll be here for a bit.

@jenwriter17 Yeah, I guess it would probably cause a lot of problems.

Okay, bye!

@jenwriter17 I see.  Will you change your forum name once you turn eighteen?  I’ve always wondered that. 😉

@jenwriter17 I have found out the many flaws in the ways books and movies handle legal matters. 😛

I’ll be done in December of next year (2019).  However, the official graduation ceremony won’t be held until August of 2020.  Weird, I know. 😉

What are you studying right now?  You’re…eighteen?

@jenwriter17 I’m doing fine. 🙂

Isn’t it cool that as writers we can basically put anything down to “research”? 😛

I am trying to work on Daughter of Judas.  “Trying” being the key word there, as usual. 😉

Law school’s going great!  I’m studying “Business Organizations” and “Wills and Trusts” this semester, which are actually a lot more i…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 How’s it going?  What are you working on?

@jenwriter17 You still here?

@seekjustice Ah, I see.

A method all your own.  Cool. 😛

Well, I’m departing now.  Goodnight!

@rochellaine

Oh and yep. There’s a lot of outlining methods. I use my own method which seems to work for me and is fairly simple.

@rochellaine

Strange and confused can be fun, definitely, but I prefer more realistic scenarios.

I don’t think I’ve ever written anything purely comedic, but I don’t mind watching or reading something purely for fun every now and then. The thing is, my life and family is fairly comedic so I prefer to look for more serious things in fiction 😛

@seekjustice Okay, now I’m really going to have to read King Solomon’s Mines and see if it’s worse than Lysbeth and Pearl Maiden. 😛

But isn’t confused and strange fun?  I love writing confused and strange stories.  Do you ever write comedies?  We established the other night that your characters don’t always die. 😉

@rochellaine

Not scared me in a bad way, but thrilled and creeped me out and fascinated me. Haggard just scares me 😛

I only wrote 1k but it was terribly confused and strange. So I went back to my outline. Have you tried the Snowflake method? You might prefer that way of outlining.

@kaya-young Do you hate romance?  My absolute favorite series of all time is on Gutenberg, minus a couple of books.  It’s the Patty Fairfield series by Carolyn Wells.  It’s not all romance, but romance does play a big part.

Or Westerns?  A couple of my other favorite authors from Gutenberg are William MacLeod Raine and B.M.Bower. (There are like…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, I see (and The Magician’s Nephew scared me too).

I don’t even remember much about it, just that it terrified me when I read it years ago 🙂

@kaya-young Interesting.  I haven’t read any of those.  Do you like lighter, less-known works at all?

@seekjustice Well, The Magician’s Nephew terrified me, so, that’s not much to go on. 😉

I absolutely loved the three Haggard his-fics that I read, Pearl Maiden, Lysbeth, and another I can’t remember the name of.  I didn’t like the ending of the third one because it was sad, but I liked the story, and it didn’t freak me out.  Very susp…[Read more]
