The Impossible Girl

@rochellaine

If I come across one, I’ll attempt it 😛 the style is still not my cup of tea though 😀

Well, that is a sliiightly awkward conversation. I’m curious as to the list of qualities you gave her? 😛

I did and it was Gesticulate from Kismet. It was pretty funny 🙂

@rochellaine

Well, I’ve never dared them, partly because they’re the Christian staples and I don’t want to offend anyone by saying I didn’t like them 😛

How’s things?

@rochellaine

Ah, that’s a relief!

Do you think I’ve read Janette Oke? Me, who rather….dislikes, shall we say, romance? No, I haven’t 😛

@catwing Very true. But still, who says no to free books?

Goodnight! Oh yes, I feel a bit the same about romance. 😀

@catwing

Look me in the eyes and tell me that you don’t 😛

@rochellaine Are you around this afternoon/evening? I feel like maybe you disintegrated or something.

@catwing I look forward to it!

@catwing

I’ll have to check your profile out!

I’d love to be an ARC reader if you get published this year. 😀

@catwing

Awesome! What’s your pinterest name?

Is this Finding Secrets? If so, its definitely the sort of book I would have liked a few years ago. I haven’t read anything like it in a while so I’m not sure if I’d still like that style.

Pretty good. I’ve lost my voice and have a cough, but its pretty good. I’ll survive.

@catwing How’s things?

@catwing Hey!

@rochellaine

You around? I’ll be here for half an hourish.

@Alia

Whheeee there are some good ones over here. Cliches are so fun to pick on. Some in my list are similar to ones already listed, ’cause I wrote it before I read the thread. I think I’ll change my stuff to the bullet-point method I’m seeing though as it looks way easier to digest than how I wrote my thing.

I like the poem too. It’s one of my favourites to recite and when we visited Barcoo I couldn’t stop myself, because everytime I hear the word Barcoo it gets stuck in my head. It’s “A Bush Christening” by Banjo Paterson, if you’re interested.

Okay dokey

Good night!

@rochellaine

Righto. Mooniji and Narara are the only ones I took straight from Australian towns, the rest are all some sort of mixing up.

Kalamooney was a mixture of Kala–which is a fairly common Aboriginal prefix and Mooney Mooney, which is an actual town, believe it or not.

Traumlant is actually the only one which isn’t Australian Aboriginal…[Read more]

@alia @rochellaine

It’s basically about the princess/queen of said kingdom who is accused of being disconnected from her people, who are starving while she gambles away the kingdom’s money etc. So she orders a girl from the country to come and live with her and teach her about the ways of the people…

I’ve come up with a few different ideas,…[Read more]

@alia Yep!

@rochellaine

Maybe cliché isn’t the right word, maybe archetype describes it better. Usually in terms of your characters, they fit quite neatly into the prearranged boxes, if you know what I mean? Maybe I just get confused because your stories are humorous and have clichés, so I tend to blend the two separate concepts together.

I quite enjoyed y…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I thought you were a fan of clichés? (definitely most of your short stories have struck me as humorous cliché sort of stories) Maybe that’s just me. I definitely thought you liked anything cliché though.

@alia

That’s up to you. You just gave me a name with no context and I said the first thing that came into my head, but if the ch…[Read more]

@alia I’m not sure how clean they are…the one I read was fine, but that was just one that my mum suggested to me because it was based on The Phantom of the Opera, so you’d have to check that out more thoroughly.

Ceer brings to mind a “strong female character” sort of person. No nonsense, brisk, strong, but not necessarily heartless. Probably a…[Read more]

I’m not sure the names of his books, but he wrote a lot, I’ve only read one but he also tends to use clichés in humorous ways. My mum likes his books.
