@photobloggergal  YAAAAS ANOTHER WAYWARD KAPEEFER YEEEP

Anyway, welcome back!!! And congratulations! 😀 😀 😀

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 @seekjustice

Anyone around?

You saw Phantom? As in, the movie or the actual stage version? I enjoy both, but the stage version is superior.

@seekjustice  I saw the stage version. It was great!

My family has currently bamboozled themselves wondering whether you walk on the left side of the footpath or the right side.

Generally, we tend to walk on the right side since that’s…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I see. I like giving my MCs very personal connections to the villains. Mostly because it helps in making conversations with the villains not-boring (How many interesting ways can, “I’m stopping you because you’re evil!” or, “I’m stopping you to save the world!” be said?) 😀

Yes, an ironic one would work. Same goes for a fitting one…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Oh so Wattle Fire is going to have a human antagonist now?

Ah, creating villains can be so fun. 😛 Are you looking for a fitting Puritan name or an ironic one?

@dekreel

You watched Phantom? That’s cool 😀 What do you like best about it?

@seekjustice

Hi, what’s up? 🙂

@jenwriter17  Aye, I suppo– JEN YOU’RE A CHOSEN ONE!! Ack, congrats!!!! *tackle hugs*

Anyway, I um. . . watched The Phantom of the Opera for the first time. . . I don’t know if you’re big on musicals or anything heheh. . . I’m not either, but this one was good.

@jenwriter17  @rochellaine  @seekjustice  @ariel-ashira  @valtmy  @alia  @catwing  @anyone

I’ll try to write tonight. . . Anyone here??

SeekJustice, Rochellaine, I have some pretty great news for either of you. . . I’ll tell it to anyone though haha.

@rochellaine @seekjustice

Good to know that your exams are over. 😀

I’ll be going off for a church camp so I”m afraid I won’t be around this weekend. I will be free on Tues/Wed (or Mon/Tues depending on the time difference) though so I would probably be around then.

Talk to you guys another time! 🙂

I’ll (hopefully) be writing a bit.

@rochellaine  @seekjustice  @valtmy  @jenwriter17  @alia  @bluejay  @………

@bluejay  I might be able to do it, depends on how hectic life gets. 😉 I’m interested, anyway!

@seekjustice

No problem. 🙂 Take everything I say with a grain of salt though because I belong to the “Begin as late as you can and leave as early as possible” and the “If the reader has likely read a hundred other such scenes and can imagine what will happen, don’t show it” schools of thought… which I don’t think is very suitable to your…[Read more]

@seekjustice

All right. I read it and liked what you have so far. 🙂 Here are some thoughts I have that may help you. I think this may be more suited to assist with refining a first draft to a second draft but hopefully some of it can apply to a Draft 1.5 as well.

#1: Word count is about 9k which I think is fair for the set-up of a 90-100k…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I can’t find the link?

By the way, just to get an idea on the proper pacing, can you let me know how many words you’re planning to have for this novel?

@seekjustice

All right, a few chapters won’t take too long. Not sure how much insight I can glean from that but I’ll do my best. It’s in my interest to help you get Wattle Fire done as soon as possible after all. 😛

@seekjustice

Hmm… tough. I’ll offer to help if you let me take a look at your 50% NaNo draft so that I can try to see what exactly are the issues here… (An excuse to ask you to let me read some of Wattle Fire early!) 😛

But since I don’t know the full extent of your outline and what you have planned, I’m not sure any advice from me would be…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I see. What’s the main issue you’re facing on that? The pacing, the logical flow of events, the scene structure…?

I realised that I have jumbled up the sequence of one or two scenes for QOD in Part 2 so the story does not necessarily progress in a linear fashion and am wondering whether I should change that. But that’s an issue…[Read more]
