Emma Flournoy

Oh, and @emma-flournoy, I do like Enjorlas. I thought he was a brilliant addition to the book. Very brave and passionate, but level-headed, too– a perfect contrast to Marius’ absent-minded dreaminess. I was very upset (and proud of him) when he died. They took him out of the movie too. But he was in the musical, and he was probably the…[Read more]

@daeus
Ah, yes, that makes sense. I was wondering how I’d show the theme since they all forgot everything. XD On that note, another question… This book is written in first person POV present tense (for various reasons), and I’m wondering if it would still work to cut from a third person/omniscient POV scene of the government right into a first…[Read more]

@everyone wait for me wait for me wait for me wait for me. I’m a bit late but man do I love this story. Everything about this story.

Judging by the little bit I skimmed previous conversations, I have this to say: @his-instrument never read the book, saw the musical though and that’s close enough. I also like Eponine better than Cosette, much…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy, no worries, just clarifying. 😉

@emma-flournoy That’s a relief…

@emma-flournoy Other guy? No. The girl.

@emma-Flournoy Perfect! Thank you! 🙂 I’m fairly positive I will read Les Mis. I’m just not sure if, out of all the ones I listed, I’ll read it first.

@emma-flournoy Well, ok, I took a bit of a liberty with the wording there. Often in a synopsis “will” means what will happen in the story, not that there is no way in the story it couldn’t have happened a different way. That was the intent. It could be taken either way, but I made his reaction an assumption. I mean, saying, “a long-hidden truth…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy The truth is the identity truth.

@Northerner @Emma-flournoy Hey, y’all! I just emailed Emma this, but I need Northerner’s email. 😛 😀 As soon as I’ve got that, I can do the thing!

@graciegirl Oh, boy. That’s a terrible feeling. Yeah, don’t worry a bit. I like getting your critique. It takes a lot to offend me.

As for the corrections, I’ll have to give them some more thought. At the moment, I’m considering replacing the current last sentence with, “In a twist of fate, he is forced to confront the shattering of everything he…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy, we had the lullaby worked in so Fantine sings it as she is daydreaming about little Cosette before she dies, then the little girl who played the young Cosette sang it right before she met Valjean in the woods, and then I was up in a window singing it and unbeknownst to me, Marius was listening underneath, and then the last time was…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Hmm. Do you think I should make it just bittersweetness?

@emma-flournoy, if it is any consolation we didn’t do the musical, but I did end up singing a lullaby twice onstage so there was singing involved. 🙂 Also, that very last scene rips my heart out every time. So many emotions.

Ok, I’m back.

@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @northerner @hope @winter-rose @graciegirl.

So what do you think of lingering bittersweetness?

Also, instead of saying, “forced to confront everything he fights for shattered,” do you think it would be better to say, “forced to confront everything he fights for ruined”?

@Emma-flournoy, I’d just gotten on to ask if you’d sent anything yet!

@Emma-flournoy, I haven’t even got anything in my spam.
