I got distracted reading Les Mis while looking for a quote 😛 Cool! do you like it?

@alia

Sorry, didn’t mean to ignore you earlier 🙂 I’m making some revision notes at the moment. What are you up to?

@Jenwriter17 pretty much just throwing in all the subplots and more try-fail sequences will fill out your plot a lot more.

@jenwriter17 I think Daeus and Kate got it. Basically, make things more complex. A longer story, more in depth themes, more characters, conflicts, obstacles to overcome, and more live scenes. That being said, you can’t just tack that stuff on to a story that is short at its core. Otherwise the story will drag. Layer things on, and see how in depth…[Read more]

@alia @bekreations  *beam*  Thanks for bringin’ this back, guys!  I don’t know what to add, but…  🙂  *thumbs up*

@ariella-newheart  Why thank you.  🙂  And I love your version of Aspen!!!

@daughteroftheking
Kay would rather relive it.
She refuses to tell me what it was though…

Alexandria Evergreen (Alex) would rather talk about it.
Sneaking to the Northern part of Evergreen forest.

Kay would sit in the cell with her worst enemy, Alice, and hope she doesn’t go insane. She doesn’t want someone she likes to hate her…[Read more]

@sarah-Anson I agree with @skredder @gh24682468999 @ariel-Ashira . Interview your character, write him in a different scene, flesh out your character.
But in edition something you could do for fun (though it will probably help) is to make a collage for him. I had to figure out somethings when I made my collages. Also got me excited about my book. 😋

@jenwriter17 heh… I’ve got the opposite problem. 😛

*scratches head* I would say probably the number one thing that makes my novels so ridiculously long is the crazy amount of time I spend really delving into the layers of chemistry in live scenes. I try to do all live scenes if I possibly can (no summaries, no overviews, no generalizations)…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Good night! 😀

@rochellaine

All right, I’ll go with Adelaide, and she’ll come up with some nickname for herself. And Ladle…it’s still making me giggle now 😀

Yes, I’ve definitely done that with character names too. And real people  as well, on occasions.

@rochellaine

True 🙂 I’ve actually never thought about Aaron and Erin being said the same though. But they are, aren’t they?

Ladle??? That made me laugh out loud 😀 I like Day or Dae though, and I can see Quillon calling her Ladle though, and she’d have some silly name for him as well.

@rochellaine

what about…

Florence Quillon

Adeline Quillon

Violet Quillon

Harriet Quillon

Charlotte Quillon

Flora Quillon

@rochellaine

Hmm, actually, I think that Francis is a boy’s name and technically Frances, is a girl’s name. I like Narcissa, but I don’t think it really matches her personality, since I automatically think of Narcissus. Penelope isn’t bad though.

Adelaide is growing on me, though I’m thinking she might need a nickname like Quillon 😀

@rochellaine

True… Mr and Mrs Quillon were lower middle-class and worked as undertakers, if that helps.  My sister suggested Francis and Angelica. What about Adelaide? It struck me earlier that the name Augustine is pretty grandiose, but it also brings to mind very traditional Anglicans or Catholics, at least to my mind.

@rochellaine

Oh, really? That’s what I wanted to do for a long time. I don’t know if its what I want to do/what God’s calling me to do anymore, but I still love planes 😀 A lot.

I don’t particularly like the name Tabitha, but it does have good connotations for me, since there’s the really cool Tabitha/Dorcas in the Bible and I knew a girl called…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Proabably a lot more than most people. 😀 I’ve even had a few lessons.

Poor Uncle Bill! Send him my love *blows kisses and hugs at Uncle Bill*

By the way, what do you think Quillon’s sister might be named? I’m thinking at the moment of Tabitha Quillon, but what do you think?

@rochellaine

They definitely would have been able to see each other much better then, because yeah, they weren’t really enclosed. I’m also trying not to overload the story with pilot jargon, and that’s kind of hard.

That’s good. Are Chara and Uncle Bill out of hospital yet?

@rochellaine

I don’t know, I’m just terrible at writing descriptions of people fighting each other, especially when it’s not a duel with swords or anything, its more impersonal.

No, I haven’t, but I might have heard of it.

Cool! And how’s that going? Hopefully better than my dogfighting.

@rochellaine

Hello! I’m currently trying to edit/rewrite a dogfighting scene (not, like, an actual dogfight, but aeroplanes fighting each other).

I’m terrible at fight scenes, so it’s not coming along very well. You?
