Oh wow. Maybe he has one of those double character family names 😛
Bye! Talk to you tomorrow (maybe)! 😀

I have so many characters demanding to have ‘yeon’ in their names so I’ve given up on that one already.
Is your dad’s friend’s surname Kim by any chance? (cos that is like the most common surname among Koreans and I remember including a very small joke about that somewhere)

Lol so the problematic one is my MC’s which is the most important one??
Korean names can often look and sound very similar to each other because there are phonetic vowels that are very often used so sometimes figuring out what to name a character is a trial by itself. 😛

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
Haha it’s that bad?
Oh well. Nothing I can do about the language. But I made sure most of my main characters have names that start with different letters. 😛

You don’t need to be able to pronounce it to type it 😛

Yep 🙂 How’s your editing going?

Sorry but the work here is very sensitive so I can’t share much (man I’m sounding really suspicious, aren’t I?).
But I can tell you that it’s related to finance. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination. 😉

Hey I might be able to chat for a while. Going off for lunch soon.

Hey. Really wish I can join but I’ll be working now. Thankfully there’s nothing on my plate yet since I’m new and I might be able to pop in during lunch. So just letting you know that I’ll still be stalking around. 😛

Bye!
I’ll be here a little while longer so just let me know if you’re still around 😛

I’ll keep that in mind though I don’t know whether I would ever need my character to faint. My MC might pretend to faint (which is likely given her job) but she’s not the kind to actually faint. 😛

Hey my MC will begin trekking out of her despair soon! Which means that I can write more cute and funny scenes soon! 😀

Hey I’ll be here now too for a little while.

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
It’s ok I got what you mean 😛
By the way, no pressure here but I’m still waiting for you to post your comments 😉
I have to go now too so bye!
Bye @seekjustice I will be reading your blog! 😀

Oh yeah. That part I was really struggling with because I already consider it beyond my usual humour. That scene was meant to poke fun at poetic language and at obnoxious heroines who think they are too ‘smart’ and ‘deep’ compared to other girls. I felt I was making it too obvious.
Carefully explained and diagrammed? I’m not that…[Read more]

Hmm I guess that makes sense. I’m calling it a parody because that’s the closest thing I can think of for now. I’m trying to strike a delicate balance between drama and comedy. In some ways being over the top is good but I’m also deconstructing some of the cliches and sometimes that calls for being more subdued and…[Read more]

Hey. Just getting lost reading SeekJustice’s blog and reviewing what I wrote last night… Do you think it is weird if every other character is described as handsome, beautiful, attractive etc.? I mean, my story is supposed to have a sugary romance novel surface (underneath the surface is something else entirely) after…[Read more]

Sorry. Am getting distracted checking out the blog 😛
I have no discipline when it comes to POVs. I just finished a chapter with a scene from the POV of a minor character who I doubt will ever show up on page again. I am amazed how you managed to consistently stick with a few POVs each book, SeekJustice.

Yep this is the same job I was agonising over back then. God is great! 😀
Thanks! 🤗
