The Impossible Girl

@rochellaine

I don’t really read historical diaries for anything other than research. I tend to find I dislike the person after reading them, I don’t know why. I read Anne Frank’s diary and found it really hard to feel sympathy for her afterwards. I tend to prefer biographies or autobiographies, rather than actual diaries.

I think the thing I’ve…[Read more]

@valtmy

Yeah, the stereotype really annoys me, though I don’t really have any idea how much truth is in the stereotype.

@rochellaine

Elsie Dinsmore and I’ve read about other books, such as Gone with the wind and I also have read things like Lottie Moon. I found her annoying until she went to China.

@rochellaine

Hello! Are you still around? I’m not working on anything but I’m happy for a chat.

Gone with the Wind is one of the classics I haven’t read. But I’ve never really wanted to, especially as Southern belle type characters tend to put me off. I think its set in the South?

@rochellaine Are you still around? I’ll be here for a bit.

@rochellaine

Oh and yep. There’s a lot of outlining methods. I use my own method which seems to work for me and is fairly simple.

@rochellaine

Strange and confused can be fun, definitely, but I prefer more realistic scenarios.

I don’t think I’ve ever written anything purely comedic, but I don’t mind watching or reading something purely for fun every now and then. The thing is, my life and family is fairly comedic so I prefer to look for more serious things in fiction 😛

@rochellaine

Not scared me in a bad way, but thrilled and creeped me out and fascinated me. Haggard just scares me 😛

I only wrote 1k but it was terribly confused and strange. So I went back to my outline. Have you tried the Snowflake method? You might prefer that way of outlining.

@rochellaine

Ah, I see (and The Magician’s Nephew scared me too).

I don’t even remember much about it, just that it terrified me when I read it years ago 🙂

@rochellaine

Just curious, why did you suggest it to Kaya if it was too horrifying for you?? I’ve only read King Solomon’s Mines and it terrified me, and I’ve never been able to look at Haggard again.

Hey. Its going pretty well. Yesterday I had an idea to start writing the third book of my trilogy without an outline, but I got 1,000 words in,…[Read more]

@rochellaine @kaya-young

I’ll be here on and off for a bit 🙂

@rochellaine

Justice is two and a half/three years older than Zac. And they are twenty-three and twenty respectively.

@rochellaine

Good night 🙂

@rochellaine

Well, I’ve just been reading several histories of British kings and some of my favourite names are the Anglo-Saxon kings…Aethulbert, Aethulwulf, Aethalstan, Aelfred. Great names 😛

Yeah, it has a really nice meaning!

Yes, that’s the one I meant. So far, I’m sure it makes zero sense, but at least I’ve started (though I am working…[Read more]

@rochellaine

They’re both pretty cool names!

I thought Dalbert was really odd. It’s like Albert, but with a D and that just seems crazy. Elbert is also quite strange and brings to mind an Anglo-Saxon prince or something. Amadeus is strange, but we’re more used to it, probably thanks to Mozart.

Some of these are very strange. If you don’t like any of them, let me know. I have half a book to go through yet.

@ariel-ashira

I remember seeing her around 😀 She does seem pretty cool. I’ve often wished that I had a big sister.

@rochellaine

Exactly how unusual are you thinking? More along the lines of Addison or, say, Adeodatus?

@rochellaine

Let me get the baby names book.

@rochellaine

I wouldn’t either, but I’m not adverse to the idea of praying for a husband (as in, praying for the guy, not praying that I would get one)

We do change a lot, don’t we? I don’t remember ever having a specific list though. I still don’t have one now, to be honest.
