@seekjustice, well Zac still flirted better than I can. Which isn’t saying much because A. I don’t flirt, and B. I’m sure I would be terrible at it. But hey! At least Zac is better than someone

@rochellaine, yeah, I guess that is part of it. Probably the main reason I don’t ship them because it wasn’t til near the end of book two that I got the impression that Justice made the faith his own and not simply thinking believing in God was all that mattered.
Ooh, and I agree with what you said to @valtmy about the whole leader thing.

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
@rochellaine, honestly, if a guy did that to me I’d find it pretty darn romantic, but like I said, there’s just something about those two. I don’t even know what it is, but for some reason I do not ship them. No clue why.

@seekjustice, aren’t we all? Confused by our own writings I mean.
Hey, maybe he was flirting with her in the same way she flirted with him was so that she wouldn’t like him like that. Yep, thats my theory and I’m sticking with it

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
@rochellaine, well I guess @seekjustice failed with getting me to ship them through the window scene, because I like them as friends and really hope Chessy gets over liking him and he gets over liking her because I really like them as friends, but not as a couple. I don’t know, its just something about them together doesn’t appeal to me

Okay, so a while ago I posted the first three chapters on my book Decisions to see if anyone had any thoughts. Now I’m hoping for some beta readers (is that what they are called? I don’t know). So yeah, I’ll be posting chapters hopefully regularly.

@rochellaine, wait, he didn’t? Never mind, ignore what I said then I thought he did and that annoyed me, but if it was all what other people saw then it makes sense and is fine.
(but I still didn’t like him as a person, that I know)

@rochellaine, I agree with you on the most part, but I just didn’t feel much realisticness from him in his own POV

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
@seekjustice, I get him appearing like that in someone else’s POV, but when it was like that in his too is when it started bothering me a bit.
Yeah, I don’t think they care much about honouring (yes auto correct there is a u in honour) their parents. 😉
great.

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, just to be clear, beta readers are kind of what y’all are doing with @valtmy ‘s and what you did with Seekjustice’s book, right? where you read it part by part and critique it?

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
@seekjustice, I didn’t really like Justice in book one either because I felt like he was a robot. He didn’t feel very realistic to me except for him not wanting anyone to die. But even that was more like he didn’t want anyone else to die.
Oh good, I thought for sure I was going crazy with that thought

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, doesn’t the song Proud of Your Boy from Aladdin kinda reflect both Justice and Zac during the bar fight? not completely, but somewhat?
(it probably doesn’t but I’m listening to that broadway right now and that song just came on and so that thought lept into my brain)

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
@seekjustice, @rochellaine, I have to say, I liked Zac a lot better than Justice from the beginning. I mean, I knew he was going to turn out better, but even before he did I could see that he was acting the way he was as protection against getting hurt. Which made him opening up to Chessy so easily and quickly a bit confusing.

@rochellaine, I don’t know. If she is willing to kill someone as wonderful as Jonas I think she is capable of anything…

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 4 months ago
@seekjustice, uh huh, I’m holding you to that
Thats what I thought. I actually can’t remember if you even showed us Jonas’ death scene of if we just found out when Chessy (or Justice) did.
Oh, and I would have cried, but every time I started getting emotionally involved I kept getting called away until the tears were gone.

@seekjustice, Hey, I’m here for the moment. But I might be popping in and out. I’m about to go clean a bathroom.
oh, and really? Zac? let me guess, Quillon dies in book 3?
(Zac’s death was better than Jonas’ in my opinion with how it was written. it felt more personal)
