@seekjustice Oh, good!

Okay, see you later!  Goodnight!

(Still praying. 🙂 )

@seekjustice Haha!  I’ve always loved that “meet cute” too.  It’s one of the closest ways you could realistically expect to be rescued since we don’t have dragons anymore. 😛

Oh, yes.  Musicals tend to make everything better. 🙂

Is it going okay?

@seekjustice Oh my goodness!  I’m so sorry!! I’m praying for you.

What’s the topic?  (Only answer if you feel like you have time… 😉 )

@seekjustice Oh my!  Yes, I’m around. 🙂  What do you need to be encouraged about?

@kaya-young Aw, thank you! 😀 I’m so glad you like Rin 🙂

@filewriterbase13x Have you seen the Character Search Corner that Dekreel made?  It’s got a very extensive list of KP characters which should help you with writing any KP fiction.

Here’s the link in case you haven’t seen it yet.

@waterlily, I have a very interesting style of either I completely plan out the book, or just have a vague idea and go with the flow. there is no in between for me until I have gotten father into it.

I have found it easiest to not outline in the beginning, but as the story progresses to jot down your ideas. But that might just be me

@ariel-ashira, my plan is to have it done by June. So be on the lookout then for a way to read it then

@skredder Okay, thank you 🙂

@gh24682468999 This may sound ridiculous, but I get really excited about my characters when I imagine them doing stuff in moveie form. 🙂

Actually, the newly launched website storyembers.org has a downloadable character questionnaire. K. M. Weiland also has a more extensive character form she fills out. You can get that on her website,…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 Hi Grace!  This is a cool question. 🙂  I’m going to answer it for myself, but I have no idea if my methods are the same as everyone else’s. 😀

Well, I read in the front page of every book where the author has the disclaimer which says something like “any resemblance to any persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental,” and I w…[Read more]

@jess-penrose Hello!  Cool!  What kind of music do you compose?  My brother is a classical style composer.

Seekjustice recommended that I read poetry by Banjo Patterson and Henry Lawson. 🙂

@seekjustice I’m going to get off now, and I guess you won’t be here when I get back.  Jess, I might be back in about an hour for a little bit if you’re sti…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hello!  Okay, I’ll be getting off pretty soon too, anyway.  I’m officially working on my western and unofficially on a short story. 🙂  How about you?

@seekjustice @jess-penrose Well, I’m back!  Are either of you Australians around?  Because I’m afraid most of the other Americans have gone to bed by now… 😛

SeekJustice, I finished A Little Bush Maid this morning, and got so into it that I had read half of the second book, Mates at Billabong, all at once before I realized how far I had got…[Read more]

@seekjustice Thank you so much for asking! Unfortunately, there’s been basically a complete hold-up in the adoption process and we have no idea when we will again start moving forward.  It’s much more complicated than it even was when I wrote my original post on the problem, and we’ve come up against several more road blocks.  It’s really sad b…[Read more]

@leumeister It was Mach 11, I think.  It was because the same four notes kept repeating over and over again in the bass.  I wasn’t able to listen to all of it, so I could be mistaken, but I listened to a good deal of it and skipped through portions of the rest and it sounded like it was that way the whole way through.  In Cannon in D the same ei…[Read more]

@leumeister I’m sorry. 🙂  As I anticipated they weren’t much to my taste.  I will say that the second one was much more interesting than the first, as the first one reminded me somewhat of Cannon in D. However, I do actually like Cannon in D, so that is not necessarily a bad thing. 😉  The real reason I didn’t like them is because I don’t lik…[Read more]

@waterlily I have done a few different types of planning for my stories, but I never can plan the ending first like Sam and SeekJustice do! 😀  In a way that’s cool, because I can have the same anticipation that the readers will have in that I don’t know how the story will end.  On the other hand, that also means I usually have no idea how to c…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hi!  I’m here.  It’s a little earlier than usual, but are you ready to write yet?

@seekjustice Ah!  It’s great!!  Only I almost wish I hadn’t watched ATOTC 1958 since it’s more fun to read something when it’s all going to be a surprise. 😀  But poor Justice!  Why didn’t he get rid of those papers when he had the chance?! 🙁

I really don’t like his cousin at all.  He’s annoying in the bad way instead of the good way. 😉  I lik…[Read more]
