Hey I’ll be here for a bit before I go off for bible study.
SeekJustice you have a blog? Can I read it? 😀

@jenwriter17 That’s AWESOME!!
Could you do me a favor and darken the picture, if you can? So the color pops more? Thank you!

@alia, oh poor dear!
You are going through so many trials right now. Don’t ever forget how much Jesus loves you!
I’m so glad your friend was a child of God. Praying for you and her family.

I had to return to the doc to see who Nes is (me and my forgetfulness).
I suppose it’s really up to you to decide since I don’t know what you have planned for your plot. The whole proverbs thing is a potentially interesting quirk that can be a good source of wit and levity (not that your story is a comedy).
I’m fine if he’s just a…[Read more]

If you’re the motherly type that wants to make sure no one gets hurt. why are you hurting your characters? 😛
Great! I would love to continue reading your story then 🙂
Hmm… giving your MC two names might be interesting and justified if she is navigating two different cultures.
As for my own MC… no English names…[Read more]

I am not sure if I am remembering this correctly but from what I learnt in my bible study, whether the names are Jewish or Greek can indicate the person’s background and origin. So I guess you should look at what type of name your MC’s family, given who they are as people, would give her.

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
A plan? Regarding your heroine’s name? OK I guess I’ll just see what you come up with if you decide to continue with the story. 😛
But you’re not the only one stuck with a difficult name for the purpose of symbolism. 😀 My MC’s name means ‘bright moon’ in Korean and the king and queen are often compared to the sun and moon so…[Read more]

I’ve read it. It’s interesting so far and now I’m curious as to how much trouble she’s going to get in just because of that broken sandal. But, yes, @seekjustice is right. Bathshua is a mouthful to say. 😛
But considering my MC’s own name… 😅 I have no problems pronouncing it myself of course but others less familiar with Korean w…

Oops sorry! I didn’t know that. Where I’m from that word is considered pretty tame so it is used sometimes even when people share their testimonies (“I went from one **** situation to another…”). 😅

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
Uh yeah I don’t think I read that. Can I? 😛
Yes, my MC is a stupid and annoying little shit. Especially as a child (she’s a grown woman now). She’s also a snob though and incredibly jaded and concerned with survival now so I don’t know how much help she would actually give your MC (I have punished my MC terribly).

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
I don’t know. You have read a little of mine already, haven’t you? So you know my MC isn’t the most sympathetic person around. A lot of my MC’s suffering is very much her own fault so your MC may not really empathise. Not that I know much about your MC. You are not speaking of Chara right but another story?

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
My MC is still wading through her pit of despair…
Until, ahem, a certain someone comes along… 😉

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
Yep.

Your way sounds far more effective than my cringing-over-each-word-I-type. 😛
Hey. See you later.

No, I am not turning traitor to SE.
What I am, though, is starting a new job next week which means that I won’t be able to come on as often as I used to (goodbye Writer’s Corner). 😭
However, I will still drop by to check out the forums, especially for the beta reading for QOD which I am continuing to write. So tag me and…[Read more]

Ooh yeah that feeling sucks 🙁
Since I’ve never really completed a novel-length project like this before, how different would you say your first and second drafts are in terms of the writing? I think the reason why I am progressing so slowly is because I am pressuring myself to get the prose all right the first time so I want to put…[Read more]
