Absolutely praying for your friend, @alia, and for you too, as you try to counsel her with wisdom. I’ll be praying for both of you.

@seekjustice

Yes, that’s a good idea. First decide what political and economic system you are trying to critique for your dystopia. I’m thinking capitalism/oligarchy based on what I’ve read so far (neither of which would justify the tech regression and stagnation).

Especially for the police force. The rich have every incentive so supply ample…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Oh. There wasn’t much elaboration on the Great Collapse though so I didn’t notice any nods towards to the Depression and didn’t make the connection but I’m sort of seeing it now…?

But how long ago was the Collapse? I understand if there’s technological regression in the immediate aftermath and the next decade or so. But the story…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Good to know I’m not the only one that thinks so then. But worldbuilding is very crucial (one could say it is the heart of) for a dystopian story. And any changes you make (esp in the tech level) can cause ramifications in your plot (e.g. suddenly the conflict or problem doesn’t make sense because it can be s…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Haha hope you can make sense of my blubbering rants! 😛

@jenwriter17

Are you one of the beta readers as well?

@catwing

Bye!

@seekjustice @dekreel @jenwriter17

I’m on if any of you still are.

@seekjustice

Just sent you the email 😀

@dekreel

Hey!

@seekjustice  I guess I’ll try the Google Doc then. 🙂

@seekjustice  Great, thanks.

By the way, sorry I haven’t been reading your book lately. I’ve just been unsure about which document I need to read from. (The one in the email or the Google doc.) Hopefully I’ll start up again soon…

Which do you think I should use, the Google doc or the email doc?

@seekjustice  I’m doing fine.

May I ask what time is it in your region of Australia right now? Just so I know when you’re awake and asleep. If you don’t want to answer though, that’s fine.

You know you’re a writer when you pace back and forth in your room repeating your character’s name in different accents, trying to find a good accent for your world.

@seekjustice  @catwing  @valtmy  @rochellaine  @alia  @jenwriter17

Heyy, I will be world-building if not writing a bit. How are y’all doing?

@catwing  HAHA, I love it!! Well done! 😀 😀 😀

@catwing

Great!

@seekjustice

OK I think I will be sending the files to you soon. 😛

@catwing

Hi! I’m finishing up beta reading for @seekjustice and planning on working on my WIP later. How’s yours going? (Hopefully better than mine…)

@rochellaine

Not well at all. Couldn’t resist my urge to edit. Again.

What are you working on? How’s Bathshua? 😛

@alia

Hi!

@rochellaine

Trudging along on my WIP… Not that I will have a lot of time to do so now. Will continue later in the evening.

Managed to get a little writing done yesterday but then got confused with how strictly I should model the theatre design after Elizabethan theatre… 😛

@rochellaine @seekjustice

Hey.

Congrats, SeekJustice 😀

@alia @seekjustice

Praying!

@seekjustice @rochellaine @alia @catwing @jenwriter17

Hey I’m off work today so I’ll be here working on my WIP and beta reading…
