Faith Q.

@rochellaine

*gasp* I had no idea. Time zones literally confuse me so much. It’s 6pm here. I haven’t even had dinner. I feel you should probably sleep.

My publishing experience includes a short story in a magazine almost two years ago and a blogful of ramblings. I’m hoping to be traditionally published one day, but I’m happy to look into…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Thanks for that insightful comment. I had actually never considered that to be part of the theme, it just appeared and I had never thought about the fact that her first impressions were different to what he really was. (sort of like Pride and Prejudice, but the other way around).

I was pondering the fact that she fell in love with…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’m extra sorry now 🙁

That happened to me when I was replying to comments on my blog the other day, and I was super annoyed because my comment was very long and eloquent 🙂

@rochellaine

I’m sorry, it’s really super annoying when that happens. May you have great speed in your rewriting 😀

@jenwriter17 @rochellaine @waterlily

Well, my fangirls, I have some questions for you. These are mostly moral and theme questions, I think, so hopefully they make sense. if they don’t just let me know and I’ll try to rephrase them.

Sapphire: okay….well…*stops to scratch head*. In our day and age, teen girls who have kids are not as frowned…[Read more]

@kaya-young

Welcome to the bestiest place on the internet!! (HAHA I SAID IT FIRST!). Sorry. *coughs* *straightens jacket*

Well, where do we begin! I’m homeschooled too (currently in my last year though), what kind of books do you read? Do you have a current writing project? Where abouts in the world are you from?

Also, what kind of dog is an…[Read more]

@waterlily

Thanks… *awkwardly trails off*.

I’m glad you weren’t  (overly) traumatized by my story. I aim not to utterly destroy my readers ( just my characters *sinister chuckling*)

But seriously, thank you. It means so much.

@rochellaine

That happened to me once but I just googled how to restore unsaved changes or something like that and found instructions on how to get it back! It worked too and I was so pleased!

@waterlily

Oh thank you! I’m so happy that you enjoyed it!

@rochellaine

Thank you, that means so much to me 🙂 I did my absolute best to make the ending hopeful and not too depressing because I hate depressing books (I don’t like Romeo and Juliet either. It’s overly melodramatic and depressing in my view)

I sing a lot too. I mean why talk when…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin and @jane-maree have basically said everything.

On privacy, you could definitely use a pen name. I personally used my real first name and my initials–Chelsea R.H. my name is fairly common (I’ve googled it before) so I’m not too concerned, but I still don’t want to plaster my full name around the internet. I’m also very vague about…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Its fun, isn’t it? I like talking in an Irish accent 🙂

Funnily enough, only one main character (and the antagonist) die.

@jenwriter17

Oppressive governments aren’t necessarily a cliche, they’re actually a requirement (or less, a complete lack of government), some cliches though would be:

MC is “different” (Divergent, maybe? ;P)

Rebellions ALWAYS work

Communist or Socialist governments. Any type of government can go wrong, so you could try exploring something…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Okay, I’m sorry that I misinterpreted you! I’m glad we’re in agreement on this. I’ll attempt to explain it all better as I revise it. And yes, I definitely tried to portray Justice as unhealthily obsessed with his country (at this point, he doesn’t believe in God, no).

Yes, that all made sense! And no, I don’t believe that all…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Thanks so much for answering those questions!

I like the point you raised about revolution. I don’t like war or fighting at all, but I would never call myself a pacifist. I believe there is a time and a place for war, and I believe that one of the reasons we should fight is to protect those who cannot protect themselves. at the…[Read more]

@waterlily

You definitely may read it! I’d love to hear your thoughts 😀

@pickupyourpenandwrite

Ooh I love musicals too! Les Mis is my favourite as well. We are now officially friends 😉

@dekreel

Anyway, I need to be off! I have a presentation tonight.

@dekreel I’m glad you’re looking forward to it!

Yep, Charles Dickens. The Hunchback of Notre Dame…now that was a singular book.

@rochellaine

Of course I don’t mind! Do you feel like answering the questions I asked Jenwriter17? I could always do with another opinion!

(Thanks, you made me smile! I’m currently planning/outlining the sequel, and I’m so excited about it! This one is  A Tale of Two cities retelling).
