Snapper

@seekjustice Sorry, I’m having trouble getting what you’re saying. 🙂  Do you mean that you’re on right now, but won’t be on for the rest of the day?

@rochellaine

Hey! (Sorry I disappeared yesterday!) I’m doing some work this morning, but I’m not going to be on later.

@seekjustice Okay, well I’ve been thinking about it, and maybe the best thing to do would just be write him the same as you would write an Australian, and then let your beta-readers tell you if there’s anything that sounds weird.

It’s hard for us to think of specific instances of slang or whatever, and if we could, you’d have a hard time keeping…[Read more]

@rochellaine

The first thing you should know about Aussies, should you ever visit us, is that we make fun of everyone and everything. Usually Americans 😀

And yes, he is deaf and doesn’t speak, so everything he communicates would be by writing, and though I think people do write more formally than they speak, I actually think he probably would…[Read more]

@skredder Thank you!!! <3

@rochellaine Yes, I agree. 🙂

@kaya-young  I like that part too.  🙂

@seekjustice I live in Ohio if you ever have any questions about there.

@ariella-newheart  Thanks for your comments!  And don’t worry about being late.  🙂 🙂

@rochellaine And I’m cutting out for the night. I gotta go to bed. Good luck with the western! 🙂

@skredder 🙂 Hooray for shattered trust!  An author’s key to wonderful anxiety and emotional impact on our characters.

But I’m going to go now, I think.  It’s getting late.  Goodnight!  Have fun with the heart-to-heart!

@rochellaine They’re gonna have a heart-to-heart and pseudo trust each other. Then I am going to shatter that trust with a jack-hammer, but only on one side.

Thanks! I’ll definitely be taking your guy’s advice. Kirin is… weird. He’s my MC, but he’s hard for me to write because I usually write anti-hero MCs and he’s not really an anti-hero. He’s entertaining sometimes, but I’m just not quite as attached to him as my other characters. *sighs* At least I have…[Read more]

@skredder A heart-to-heart?  Oh, that was the most terrifying part of my last book for me to write!  I had been planning it from the beginning and had it all perfect in my head, and then when I finally got to that scene I completely forgot everything I had planned. 🙁  It turned out okay, but though I can’t remember what I had planned I’m still su…[Read more]

@rochellaine They’re actually behaving rather well right now. A couple of them, that don’t trust each other, are about to have a heart-to-heart. We’ll see how that goes. At least I do have a mediating character, although I just revealed a really horrible moment in his otherwise unexciting backstory.

@skredder I’m editing my western, which is also going at a slower pace than I’d like. 🙂  However, my pace is not at all steady, so congratulations on that score. 😛

How are your characters behaving?

@rochellaine I’m working on Clouded Fury. It’s at a slower pace than I’d like, but it seems to be a steady pace. So, not too bad I guess. 🙂

Watcha workin’ on?

@skredder Hi!  What are you working on?  How’s it going?

@rochellaine I will be for a little bit.
