@seekjustice  Wait… You’ve watched Doctor Who?! Tell me more!!

@rochellaine  Yeah, I don’t watch the newer ones as often as the older ones. Although, frankly, I haven’t watched Doctor Who in general for at least six months now… I’ve drifted away from it. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t like it anymore. But some the older ones were kind o…[Read more]

@rochellaine  Oh, that’s cool!! It must be a good book then.

*raises eyebrow* Oh?? Well, what of Doctor Who, may I ask, did you talk about?

@seekjustice  You must feel honored. 😉 Well, I finished reading Les Miserables, so now I HAVE to read your story. 😉

I’m doing okay. Today was incredibly unproductive, but I did get to go to a party. S…[Read more]

Hey I’m on now too.

A fanfic? Sounds interesting. Will I need to have read Star Fills Infinity to understand it?

@seekjustice  @rochellaine  Heya! May I join y’all? I think I’ll be making story plans and stuff. It’s been while… 😀

Rochellaine, a fanfic?? OOH! For what?

You know you’re a writer when you’re reading a word problem in math that says something like, “Two jugs stand side by side on a shelf,” and your brain goes, “What are those jugs doing there? Who put them on the shelves? What is the liquid used for? What color are they? What is the room like where the shelf is? How old are the jugs?” But instead it…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira  Note to self: Don’t SKIM-READ.

I didn’t realize you’d be gone! I’ll miss you!! Please come back soon…

@jenwriter17 @rochellaine Finished checking through the blog post so I’m headed out now! 😀

@jenwriter17 I have arrived. Working on a blog post.

@rochellaine

My own work is… 😅

By the way, I am still waiting for your feedback on my first three chapters. *hint, hint*

Haha it’s OK though. I know you’re busy with exams and I have to focus on what I’m currently working on now instead of getting distracted by my previous parts.

@rochellaine

I am imagining the narration of the MC being in this very pompous tone of someone who thinks he is very smart but isn’t (I mean he doesn’t even know what a prosthetic is???). The doctor could be this nervous, stuttering geek and the nurse a brainless beauty with a flair for the dramatic. Not sure if that’s how you’re seeing it but…[Read more]

@rochellaine

That’s probably true. 😛

I actually think your piece will work well as a short film where you can see all the crowding and jostling and it’ll be funny to watch the overdramatic reactions that the incompetent doctors and nurses have. But just reading it as a story makes me go “Really? What kind of doctor/nurse will do that?” If it…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Bye!

@rochellaine

Obviously what I would do is not to make everything more realistic (that would defeat the point of the humour). But what I would do is give more characterisation to the doctors and nurses so that it is clear they are meant to be taken as a joke (frankly speaking, I wasn’t laughing at those parts because I was…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Wait, I did? When did this happen? Can I read it? 😛

@seekjustice

Thanks! That was a nice article. I guess I can think of this scene as a… fireside chat scene. Without the fireside or the chat. 😀

@rochellaine

I know the feeling. But, hey, at least you can afford to have a slower pace and lots of time for introspection given the genre you’re writing. 😀

Mine’s a comedy so I need things to be light, fast and with a constantly moving and changing web of jokes so that the humour doesn’t get old… 😓

@seekjustice

Yes I suppose that makes sense. Thanks! (now I’m imagining my character doing cooking and it, uh, doesn’t feel too right).

The scene is written from my side character’s POV and my MC is not even there at all (they haven’t met yet) so the purpose of the scene is foreshadowing to introduce a character and an element that my MC will…[Read more]

@rochellaine

You haven’t posted more of your western because of… scene structure?

@rochellaine

I’m working on my WIP…

This is weird to ask but… does every scene necessarily need a goal/conflict/outcome or reaction/decision? Because the scene I’m working on does seem important (it introduces a side character, does some foreshadowing and drops some hints of important events that happen in the background) but it doesn’t seem…[Read more]

@rochellaine @seekjustice

Hey guys. I’m on now. 🙂

@seekjustice

Haha it’s fine I completely understand! 👌 There’s no real rush since I’m also still not done with the second part.
