The Impossible Girl

@rochellaine

I read–or rather my mum read to me–Heidi many years ago. I don’t remember being particularly impressed by it and I kind of lumped it under Pollyanna/Anne of Green Gables/Elsie Dinsmore/What Katy Did and all the other girl books I didn’t like, but I should definitely try it again.

And yes, I’m currently reading it. (and referring…[Read more]

Ah, my new favourite at the moment is The Secret Garden.

@xonos-darkgrate Writer’s Corner is a free-for-all where we fangirl(boy) over things and argue quite a lot, usually over topics that have nothing to do with writing.

@rochellaine

That’s good. Well, I’m not writing anything yet…but hopefully I will be soon.

@rochellaine Heeelloo!

Sorry I didn’t talk much over the weekend. I was crazily busy.

@xonos-darkgrate

Welcome back! I remember you, but I’m not sure that you would remember me.

@ariel-ashira

I honestly think this is a matter for your conscience. Some Christians feel comfortable writing/reading books with swearing, others don’t. I personally choose not to add in curse words because I just don’t see the point. I think it also depends on who you’re writing for. Middle grade, for example, I don’t think should ever have…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira

Oh, that’s so sad! We just had to put our pony down so I know what it feels like. I’ll be praying for your sister and your family.

@rochellaine

Okay, I’ll put the rest of the series on my Christmas wish list 😛

I know. I didn’t know she was brilliant. But did she have a daughter who wrote too? It might have been her daughter’s books.

Oooh, the Bounty is an Australian thing!

@rochellaine

Yep, I managed to find them all on Koorong.

I’ll definitely have to see if I can find the rest of those 😀

I would love to speed-read through your library 😛

I think I had some of Grace Livingston Hill’s books, but unfortunately I had to cull them. Whoops 😛 (But hey, I have so many books that my bookcases are bursting at the…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I have the first two Viking Quest books and I enjoyed them when I read them several years ago. Do you know how many more there are in the series?

Oh, I’ve got one of Robert Elmer’s books too! A Way Across the Sea I think it’s called, and I really, really like that one. I’ve never got anymore of his books because they aren’t in p…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Okay! I’ll see you later 😀

@rochellaine

Yep, that’s what I mean. I really want some modern stuff which isn’t romance, but I know you mostly read older books, so I don’t mind if you’re suggestions are older.

(It was a few days ago. Sunday/Saturday maybe?)

@rochellaine

Just frustrating and I need to learn not to make mountains out of molehills. *Sigh*

Ah yes, I’d love that list! You were also going to suggest a few modern his-fics too, because you mentioned you’d read some good ones (and bad ones too, but I’m not interested in them 😛 )

@jenwriter17

Sorry Jen that I never got back to you (happy birthday by the way)

I think the numbers already posted are a good fit. It needs to be small, but there obviously needs to be enough people to give a variety of criticism. As to actually making it, I’m not really sure. I would suggest looking into something like Google hangouts (though…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Okay 😀

Ah, it’s one of those days where all the small things seem to be going wrong and its very frustrating 😉

@rochellaine

I didn’t get your notification till just now. Are you still around? Will you be around soon?

@rochellaine

Yeah, me either. I think it would kinda ruin her character!

I forgot we were talking about Jonathan and had to look at that sentence twice to work out what you were talking about 😛

Good night!

@rochellaine

Yeah, I’ve read a few series like that and I know it can be done, sometimes I just wish the author would move onto something else though. However, I have my Kai book I want to write and I love the Oliver Twist/Waif idea so I’ll probably wrote that eventually.

I’m half and half over whether I should give Chessy a child though 😛

I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’m not even one of those super obsessed people. I find them confusing! I think its quite interesting though.

I have thought about that. I am kind of wary of those people who just can’t let go of their characters though and just keep going and going and going with their series. But that is a cool idea. If I get some more ideas, I’ll…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Oh I see. Well, the idea behind the MBTI is that its about how people think rather than how they actually act, though obviously thought influences actions.

For example, the difference between Sensing and Intuition is whether someone processes information based on what they can sense and what they know to be factual, whereas…[Read more]
