Just curious, why did you suggest it to Kaya if it was too horrifying for you?? I’ve only read King Solomon’s Mines and it terrified me, and I’ve never been able to look at Haggard again.

Hey. Its going pretty well. Yesterday I had an idea to start writing the third book of my trilogy without an outline, but I got 1,000 words in,…[Read more]

@kaya-young It’s way to weird for my tastes, so I definitely don’t blame you. 😛 (Never read it, but the synopsis was enough to horrify me.) I do like Haggard’s his-fics though.  They’re not weird.

Really?  Which ones?  I’ve probably read a couple of hundred books on Gutenberg. 😉 But…there are thousands.

@seekjustice Hey!  How’s it going?

@rochellaine @kaya-young

I’ll be here on and off for a bit 🙂

@kaya-young Cool.

Oh, by the way, did you ever finish reading She by Haggard?

@kaya-young Whoa, you’re here??  Cool!! 😀 😀 Haven’t seen you in a while.  What are you working on?

@seekjustice Thanks. 🙂

@rochellaine

Justice is two and a half/three years older than Zac. And they are twenty-three and twenty respectively.

@seekjustice Zac is younger than Justice, right?  If so, by how much?  If not…how old are they?

@alia The Elsie Dinsmore article is here.  I don’t agree with everything the article says, but it does make a few good points.  Usually I look at a book differently depending on the era it depicts and when it was written, but there are some things you can’t compromise anyway.

I did enjoy the Elsie books very much too, but I upon rereading I f…[Read more]

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, can I have the link to the Elsie Dinsmore article? I haven’t read it in a while, but I always enjoyed them so I was wondering what the article said.

 

@ariel-ashira, @jenwriter17,

anyone writing right now? I’ll be here for about 20 minutes

@kaya-young How exiting!

Alyza is a beautiful name.  What does it mean?

@rochellaine

Good night 🙂

@seekjustice They do sound really cool.  And pretty crazy.  Any little boy saddled with a name like that these days would be hopelessly bullied. 😮

I will now be departing for the night.  Talk to you later!

@rochellaine

Well, I’ve just been reading several histories of British kings and some of my favourite names are the Anglo-Saxon kings…Aethulbert, Aethulwulf, Aethalstan, Aelfred. Great names 😛

Yeah, it has a really nice meaning!

Yes, that’s the one I meant. So far, I’m sure it makes zero sense, but at least I’ve started (though I am working…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m seriously considering using Jaron.  However, choosing a name for a character is such an important task I believe I’ll think on it for a bit just to make sure. 😉  Thank you so much!

Yeah, I think both Dalbert and Elbert made me think of Anglo-Saxon names from my old his-fic and history books, so that’s probably why they didn’t s…[Read more]

@rochellaine

They’re both pretty cool names!

I thought Dalbert was really odd. It’s like Albert, but with a D and that just seems crazy. Elbert is also quite strange and brings to mind an Anglo-Saxon prince or something. Amadeus is strange, but we’re more used to it, probably thanks to Mozart.

@seekjustice Jaron and Keir are great!  I like those a lot.  Especially Jaron.  I think I might end up using that!

I’ve actually heard of all those except Casimir, Jaron, Kier, Kele, and Kiel, so I’m interested to hear which ones you thought were weird? 🙂  Casimir is the weirdest in my opinion. 😛 (No offense to any Casimirs who may happen to…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Casimir

Colter

Keir

Kele

Kiel

Some of these are very strange. If you don’t like any of them, let me know. I have half a book to go through yet.

@seekjustice Well, actually neither. 😛 Addison is still too normal.  It sounds a bit strange, but everyone’s heard of it.  I don’t want an ancient name either, like Adeodatus.  I want a name that sounds normal, but no one has ever heard of it before, like

…okay, I have spent the last fifteen minutes searching for at least one example and I ca…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira

I remember seeing her around 😀 She does seem pretty cool. I’ve often wished that I had a big sister.
