@seekjustice My brother has a degree in music and has made a study of what types of music effect your brain in different ways, and based on that we don’t listen to contemporary Christian music. 🙂  So when people here talk about all sorts of musical groups and band names I have no idea what anyone’s referring to. 😛  But the music groups that I d…[Read more]

@rochellaine Aw, I wish I could join you! Super busy right now, but I’ll see you next week 😉

@rochellaine

I broke my habit of listening to musicals and I was actually listening to some contemporary Christian music. Tenth Avenue North, in case you were wondering. 😀 Its not too bad.

Well the Red Baron definitely was pretty scary, I would have been scared of him. But, in the end, he was just a very young man who needed God and had a…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh yes, I meant to ask.  You said it’s going to be in a book?  What book?

@seekjustice I also like “What a Comforting Thing to Know” and “Tell Him Anything” best.  My brother’s favorite is “What has Love Got to Do with Getting Married?” 😛  Yes, “Position and Positioning” is great for a bit, but can get annoying after a while, haha.  Have you been singing or listening to anything today?

Oh, sweet.  There’s always tha…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I think I like ‘What a Comforting Thing to Know’ best, just because its funny, but I also like…um, what’s it called. ‘Tell Him Anything’? and I do like “Position and Positioning’, even though it gets on your nerves about two minutes in 😀

Uh, probably you haven’t. Its this one 

Well, originally I set it at 30hrs, but I’m…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, you certainly must! 🙂 What’s your favorite song from it?  I remember you said you didn’t like “Why Can’t I be Two People,” because you think it sounds kind of bratty.

What story?????  Have I read it?  If not, can I??  If not, whyyyyy?? 😛

Haha, you say you’re setting your goal “quite low,” but it’ll still probably be about the…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I haven’t listened to that in ages! I feel I need to rectify that at the next given opportunity.

Currently I’m proofing the short story version and another little story of mine which is being published in a book. (eep!!!)

And yep, I’m doing it, but I’m working on a few short stories for competitions and I’m setting my goal quite…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hello!  I’ve been singing “What a Comforting Thing to Know” all day. 😛

I’m working on my western.  I would assume you’re editing Stars? 😉

Are you doing the July Camp NaNoWriMo?  I remember you talking about it, but can’t think of what you would actually work on if you did, since you’re mostly editing and planning your projects ri…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Why, yes, I am indeed. What are you up to?

@seekjustice @valtmy @jenwriter17 @alia Are any of you around tonight?

@rochellaine

Sorry, I just was doing some cleaning, I’m having my quiet time now, but I’ll probably be on later.

The editing isn’t going as fast as I’d like, but I’m getting there. 🙂

@seekjustice I dropped out for a bit to eat dinner, but now have a little bit of time before going to prepare for the guests we’re having tonight and tomorrow. 🙂

How’s your editing going?

@rochellaine

Oh, righto 😛

Well, yes, it is cool…especially in stories. very useful 😀

Well, by synopsis, I usually just scribble a sentence which will help me to remember it, or a quote or something. But it is annoying when you don’t write it down and you know you had a brilliant idea…but you can’t remember what it was. 😛

@seekjustice Oho!  What kind of “situation” do you think it is? 😛  It’s actually just guys talking about guns, mostly.  Probably not what you were guessing, right?

But hm, now you’ve given me an idea.  Eavesdropping is cool, isn’t it? 😀

When I try to write a synopsis I usually get carried away, so instead I try to keep them in my head.  And…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Eavesdropping is always good in those situations 😛

occasionally I write scenes beforehand, but usually I just write a synopsis of the scene and then stick them together like puzzle pieces 😛

@seekjustice Yes, I think so too.  I’ll either have to find a way to make the story work with out that scene, or have Chara watching or something, so she can describe it, or else just find a few more scenes that I can do from Derek’s perspective.

I think I might be able to have that scene from Chara’s POV if she’s watching it happen or listening…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yeah, I did. But I think it worked okay, and like you said, it wasn’t for long.

And that would be a bit weird. So either you’d have to leave that scene out or put some more scenes in his pov beforehand.

@seekjustice And yet you used Zac’s POV in When Infinity is Empty which made it three. 😉  But that was only for a few pages.  And it was pretty necessary.

I’ll consider it.  Most of the scenes I have planned will very much not work with any POV but Chara’s.  I thought if I did a second it would probably be Raelyn for a few scenes, but I just…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I used to write books with heaps of povs as well, but lately I’ve had to limit myself to about two, because otherwise I get overwhelmed. Two’s my favourite though, enough variation without being overwhelming. I think you could try doing some scenes from Derek’s pov, but it would be completely fine if you just did it exclusively with…[Read more]
