@rochellaine No, I haven’t read it yet. I thought I was supposed to get an email with the word doc (did I do something wrong @seekjustice?)

😀 I don’t blame you. Australia is a rather exotic location, given that most books are set in America or Britain.
True, I’ll work on that. I’ve been reading through the novel, but I’m not finding much of use.

I imagine Zac wearing a very typical Australian outfit–a chequered Drizabone shirt, or something similar, jeans and riding boots. So probably not all that different from what you’re imagining.
In the book, the servant is let go, in all of the adaptions that I’ve seen, he’s been killed. Did that have anything to do with your plot twist?

Ah, true. Being in love with the aviators as I am, I always imagine leather aviator jackets, which were, of course, made to keep you warm.
Its the working class jacket, which is why its associated with the French Revolution. Actually though, my sister also thought Justice wore a leather jacket too, so you aren’t the only one. I can…[Read more]

I tend to be able to deal with curse words, as long as they aren’t too “strong” or too often, so I often forget to mention those (sorry). However, I cannot deal with people kissing each other, as my family will testify, hence my dislike of romance, particularly in movies.
No, I wouldn’t be. I’m sure a leather jacket would be pretty…[Read more]

Sorry 🙁 I honestly don’t think though that she’s ever seen one of those shows which she was talking about, and she didn’t know who Clint Eastwood was. Our family doesn’t watch much in the way of shows or movies, but usually when we do we watch newer things.
The jacket is a very specific type of jacket. Observe this one:

She said: “….they still look too old. Like guys from those old tv shows where everyone laughs but you don’t even get the joke.”
Justice’s jacket is not actually a leather one, just thought I’d point that out. 😀

@dekreel I know!
And when Walmart has their back to school sale, “These spiral bound only 25 cents, a few years ago they used to be 18 cents though. And those other bound books are only 50 cents… But I will not buy them. I have enough. Besides they aren’t that pretty.” Continues looking at all the pencils, books, and school supplies. “Oh, look…[Read more] -

@rochellaine haha, yes I like Kendall too. I wouldn’t say he’s my favorite, but yeah I like him. 😉

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Some of those twists are actually quite inventive 🙂
That’s true, Justice would not be harmed in the making of any of those twists 😛

I showed her the picture and the response was awkward giggling and then “I can’t imagine Justice looking like that…he looks like a cowboy”.

She said, in reference to your first comment, that it was confusing, but I think she understands.
Neither of us are sure what you mean by Cliff Robertson.
All right, I’ll give you some time for review.
(She said it was very nice and that she likes being called SeekJustice’s sister)

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago

Currently my sister and I are trying to come up with plot twists for the second book. Have any ideas?
(My sister reckons you’ll all say “that Justice died instead of Zac” because “you’re all selfish people who love Zac and underappreciate Justice!”)
I’m pretty sure she’s joking.

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
All right, all right! I give up. It just baffles me that everyone likes the characters I don’t like all that much and no one likes as much the ones that I adore. 😀
@catwing Well, hopefully we aren’t spoiling too much for you 🙂

Catwing replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@rochellaine Thanks!
Yes, ditto on that.@Seekjustice I can not submit my opinion on that matter because I have not read your book yet. *totally innocent grin* But I am sure whoever-character-who’s-name-I-forgot-because-he-died-so-who-could-that-be-it’s-not-like-you-kill-lots-of-your-characters is they are/will be a very nice character. ^.^…[Read more]

Okay 😀
Well, I didn’t necessarily write him to be likeable, but then again I didn’t write Zac to be likeable either and obviously he turned out like that.
I don’t know how I want people to feel about Kendall though. I mean…he has a rather immoral lifestyle…
But his case isn’t hopeless. He redeems himself.

@rochellaine I wasn’t worried about you. I don’t know why I was fixing them. *shrug* Let’s see…

Was it only the instance you mentioned that you thought was too out of character for Justice?
The problem I found with Kendall and Rain is that honestly who would have a crush on Kendall? No one is supposed to like Kendall!
No, I didn’t know! I must go find out!

@rochellaine *clears throat* *raises eyebrow* Have you been faking deaths without me? Me, the person with crazy theories.
