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]

@rochellaine

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.

@introvert_girl

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

@catwing

Thanks! 🤗

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  With the pencils, yes. 🙂

@seekjustice  @rochellaine  @valtmy  @jenwriter17  @sarah-anson  @anyone

Oy! I’m writing! Care to join me?

@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.

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @alia @gh24682468999

Thanks guys 🙂 All the best for you too!

@seekjustice @rochellaine

Bye! I’m also leaving.

@rochellaine

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]

@seekjustice

If you’re the motherly type that wants to make sure no one gets hurt. why are you hurting your characters? 😛

@rochellaine

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]

@rochellaine @seekjustice

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.

@rochellaine

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]

@rochellaine

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…

@rochellaine

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…”). 😅

@rochellaine

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).

@rochellaine

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?
