I’ll have to check your profile out!

I’d love to be an ARC reader if you get published this year. 😀

@catwing

Awesome! What’s your pinterest name?

Is this Finding Secrets? If so, its definitely the sort of book I would have liked a few years ago. I haven’t read anything like it in a while so I’m not sure if I’d still like that style.

Pretty good. I’ve lost my voice and have a cough, but its pretty good. I’ll survive.

@catwing How’s things?

@catwing Hey!

@rochellaine

You around? I’ll be here for half an hourish.

@jenwriter17 Oh, oh!!  Haha, I just remembered, I was looking through our sales a few days ago and saw that I’d sold one of those.  I was quite surprised, since the only links are from the ministry website, so people are looking for my parents’ books, not mine.

Now the mystery is solved! 😀

@jenwriter17 Oh…oh my. 😛  How in the world did you find that??

Ohh…from the ministry website’s page on Lulu?

I hope you like it okay!  The beginning (first several chapters) is very boring and forgettable.  But if you can get past that, it gets a little better.  😉

Wow, you’ll be the first person on KP who has read that! 😀 This is exc…[Read more]

I like the poem too. It’s one of my favourites to recite and when we visited Barcoo I couldn’t stop myself, because everytime I hear the word Barcoo it gets stuck in my head. It’s “A Bush Christening” by Banjo Paterson, if you’re interested.

Okay dokey

Good night!

@seekjustice I see. 🙂  I love making up names!

Oh, wow. I love the rhythm of that poem!

Don’t worry.  I’ve been going on tangents all night! 😛

Oh, that is strange.  You need to try it out!! 😉  You should watch the pilot episode first, if possible, just to get the background, but then whatever order of episodes you want.

I’m leaving now.  Goodnight!

@rochellaine

Righto. Mooniji and Narara are the only ones I took straight from Australian towns, the rest are all some sort of mixing up.

Kalamooney was a mixture of Kala–which is a fairly common Aboriginal prefix and Mooney Mooney, which is an actual town, believe it or not.

Traumlant is actually the only one which isn’t Australian Aboriginal…[Read more]

@seekjustice Okay, I’m in an analyzation mood, so here’s my take on those names:

Moonaru and Mooniji have too much “moon” in them, and they make me think of moony romance or loony weirdness.  (Yeah, sorry, couldn’t come up with a better phrase than “loony weirdness” which is sad, seeing as I’m a writer, but that’s life.)

Narara is too much of a…[Read more]

@alia @rochellaine

It’s basically about the princess/queen of said kingdom who is accused of being disconnected from her people, who are starving while she gambles away the kingdom’s money etc. So she orders a girl from the country to come and live with her and teach her about the ways of the people…

I’ve come up with a few different ideas,…[Read more]

@rochellaine, I have. its part of what gave me the idea for the narrator guild. And thank you for the cliches. if you think of more feel free to tell me

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, I’ve gotta head to bed. talk to y’all later

@alia Haha, your idea reminds me of the Studio C episode where the Narrator has a fight with the protagonist. 😛  Have you seen that?

Let’s see… (I’ll copy @seekjustice‘s style of listing 😉 )

Villain Cliches:

• Male villain has a mustache
• Female villain is either the most beautiful woman in the world, or extremely ugly
• Villain’s voice…

@seekjustice, what is it about?

@alia Yep!

@jenwriter17, I think I’m on canva. I’ll try that.

@rochellaine, you were fairly close. She is in her late fifties to early sixties. A mother of five children, three died before the age of ten and the younger two were essentially kidnapped by the priests. She is clever, uses things to her advantage.

I have a character but the name isn’t set yet. She is for Decisions, a fairly major character with…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Maybe cliché isn’t the right word, maybe archetype describes it better. Usually in terms of your characters, they fit quite neatly into the prearranged boxes, if you know what I mean? Maybe I just get confused because your stories are humorous and have clichés, so I tend to blend the two separate concepts together.

I quite enjoyed y…[Read more]
