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 🙂

@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…
#1 If you were to go swimming and someone dressed up like a shark swallowed you. Use ketchup. Or cornstarch mixed with food coloring.
#2 Parachute a dummy dressed as you but have the parachute faulty and so you fall into the ocean/ravine. Or the…[Read more] -

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. The person who when watching BBC’s new Sherlock series thought up how Moriarty could have faked his death, even though he died by shooting himself in the head. The person who when eating cherries wonders if they could make a…[Read more]

Well, it hurts my pride, my honestly my pride is rather…I don’t know…large. And I could do with some humility. That’s why God made me a writer 😛
Fair enough. That makes sense. Honestly, I think the uniqueness of my story lies not so much in the plot, because the plot is…well, fairly average, but more so in the characters.…[Read more]

So I’ve been agonising over your post for w ay longer than is normal and I’ve come to this conclusion:
Writing retellings are a balancing act between original content and not. For example, I think the changes I made with Caderousse (have you started P4 yet?) were good because someone would expect that of a story based on Les…[Read more]

Hopefully!
I do quite like parodies if they’re done right 🙂
I didn’t change that much, did I?

Well, I have the 1955 version in the house currently, so I’ll watch that first but I know our library has the 1999 version so I might watch that one later.
Yep its definitely a classic one. I’m a bit of a Sherlock Holmes nerd 😉
Well, yes, I am overly obsessed with Les Mis and have listened to so many different versions and I have…[Read more]

Ah, that’s unfortunate. My family tends to stick the rain out and make us all miserable 😛
I’m not sure how many I’ve seen, I’d have to count. By the way, do you like the 19something version of Oklahoma or the Hugh Jackman version best?
I guess so, she just struck me as really naïve and not at all smart.
She’s in her forties, but…[Read more]

Sorry I keep missing you! I was at church this morning you see 😀
Welcome back! Does your family go camping much?
Yeah, I didn’t like that, and it’s generally not my style (Oh, I love Brigadoon! Its pretty much the only exception to the old musical dislike. And I don’t mind Mary Poppins. But other than that…)
I did…[Read more]

I do not know how to fake someone’s death. I have never done it before
😛
Never. Not even to Zac.

@rochellaine Yes, yes, I know… Hey, at least I didn’t STOP coming here all together. 😛
“Sentient being.” Yeah. I might just start using that phrase. XD
Poor Bobert! Maybe he likes Jen because she’s a Steampunk horse. Because honestly, there are few things more awesome than a Steampunk horse.

Going okay. How are you?

@rochellaine Hey, hey!! I know, it’s been a while! 😀
I’m doing okay. Sorry I haven’t been around much. The Aetherlight has been so addicting…
How is, um… Bobert doing? XD

You know you’re a writer when you see a tall stack of clean, fresh notebooks at the store and you go, “MUST… HAVE…!!!!!”
