The Impossible Girl

@jenwriter17

Bye!

@Rochellaine

Introverts only joke about that (I think anyway). I quite like people actually. I would argue though that labelling people as extrovert/introvert is helpful sometimes. I have extrovert friends who just don’t understand the need to be left alone, so in that case reading about introverts would be helpful for them to…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, out of only my four mainest characters, Chessy’s the only extrovert, and even then…she’s kind of an introverted extrovert 😛

@jenwriter17 I remember Jax, but I don’t remember the characters vividly enough to really say if they’re this type or that. (I have an overabundance of introverts too! I guess I find it hard to imagine what it’s like being extroverted!)

@jenwriter17

Oh, that’s good. Mary Poppins is very awesome (or indeed, practically perfect).

(The concept of the movie is that there’s a curse on the Romanovs, which is why they all died. And the curse is trying to kill Anastasia. So it’s portrayed in a negative light…but yeah).

@rochellaine

Well, I…find it highly annoying. Like,…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, what types are you thinking so far? Hopefully, I’ll get time to do my promised blog post today, but we’ll see.

Have you seen Mary Poppins? I much prefer the Broadway/Australian version to the movie, but the movie is pretty good. the Anastasia animated movie is also really good (as long as you’re okay with a few scary moments and…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, cool! I don’t think I know anyone I would class as a ISTJ. I’m pretty sure I know people of most other types. Though, I do know one girl and I’m not sure if she’s a INTJ, INTP or ISTJ….Once you get into Myers Briggs there’s no coming back.

And yep, it’s that novel!

@rochellaine

Nope, I haven’t.

Dear friend, you should know…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

*pats you on the head…or some other equally patronising thing*

I’m reading about characters with the ISTJ type at the moment, because my heroine for my new novel is an ISTJ and I don’t have a whole lot of experience dealing with them.

Unfortunately no. There’s been a few sprinkles, but nothing at all substantial. Keep…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

I think I’m having KP withdrawals 😀

Yes, my birthday was on the sixth. So I’m technically the older 😛

HAPPY BIRTHDAY though!

@rochellaine @jenwriter17

HELLLOOO! I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve chatted to anyone on here. Even though it’s only been three days.

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 @valtmy @dekreel @ariel-ashira @catwing

I’ll be here for a little bit, trying to write a blog post!

(also, if you’ve ever wanted to know anything about my book, let me know! I’m trying to come up with some random pieces of trivia and I’m finding it difficult…)

@valtmy

It was about six, so I think I wandered off and gpt distracted and then went for dinner.

I’ll probably have to go in a minute.

@valtmy

Sorry, I just kinda disappeared on you yesterday.

@valtmy

Ah, arranged marriages are another interesting point that a lot of people malign (though in some cases, how can you blame them?).

Something else you could try though, is an alternate history type thing. I have no much experience with that genre, but the plot could work in that sort of setting.

@valtmy

She sounds quite interesting. I should read more about her.

Well, then you’ll either have to choose to confront the issues or just make up a world where they don’t exist 😛

@valtmy

When did Marie Curie live? I can’t remember exactly how much formal education she had, but she was an extremely clever woman who definitely had a lot of knowledge (and would have made a good forensic scientist :P, which I’m sure would be helpful for your character).

When I create fictional countries/cultures I tend to make them a mash up…[Read more]

@valtmy

I don’t know. They’re new(ish) books, so they wouldn’t be in the public domain yet. Are you part of an online library like BorrowBox or Overdrive? They’d probably have some.

The thing I’ve noticed, in Western societies at least, which is what I know the most about, is the whole “you can’t do this because you’re a woman” is much more of a…[Read more]

@valtmy

I like the sound of that idea! Have you ever read the Brother Cadfael mysteries? They’re quite fun and they’re about a medieval monk during the first English civil war solving murders. I quite enjoy reading those, especially since it’s very obvious the author did her research.

@valtmy

Well, you’re my friend, so I would feel bad if I couldn’t overlook your annoying MC (and yes, she is annoying. I hope she gets better before the end). 😀 But when its just a book written by someone I don’t know, I have no patience.

@valtmy

That’s the problem. I absolutely adore historical fiction but can’t stand half of it. Or more than half of it. But yes, I have an extreme affinity to the “Common man”, which leads me to reading a lot of war historical fiction, because the war (both first and second world wars) were really won by the courage of the average Joe Bloggs. I…[Read more]

@valtmy

Yeah, true. I tend to dislike high born lady types (it’s the Australian in me), so that’s probably why I don’t like them. I also dislike the Regency era ladies in Jane Austen 😛

And yeah, you would think so. But in my experience, people will write anything in their diaries and that usually shows you their more flawed side, which you tend…[Read more]
