@jenwriter17 I see.  Will you change your forum name once you turn eighteen?  I’ve always wondered that. 😉

@rochellaine huh, that is odd that the ceremony is so far from when you finish. I bet it’ll be hard to wait that long.

Close…I’ll be eighteen next week. 🙂 I graduate from high school in 2019.

@jenwriter17 I have found out the many flaws in the ways books and movies handle legal matters. 😛

I’ll be done in December of next year (2019).  However, the official graduation ceremony won’t be held until August of 2020.  Weird, I know. 😉

What are you studying right now?  You’re…eighteen?

@rochellaine *sighs* sometimes it’s just so easy to get distracted away from writing. 😉

Cool! I always thought that someone in your field would be full of good book research info. 🙂 What year would you graduate (if you don’t mind me asking)?

@jenwriter17 I’m doing fine. 🙂

Isn’t it cool that as writers we can basically put anything down to “research”? 😛

I am trying to work on Daughter of Judas.  “Trying” being the key word there, as usual. 😉

Law school’s going great!  I’m studying “Business Organizations” and “Wills and Trusts” this semester, which are actually a lot more i…[Read more]

@rochellaine pretty good; and you? I am furiously trying to get a blog post together in time for Saturday because I had no time to do it earlier this week…..and may or may not be getting distracted by Pinterest and researching. 😛 How about you? how’s law school? (it was law school right?)

@jenwriter17 How’s it going?  What are you working on?

@rochellaine Yup. 🙂

@jenwriter17 You still here?

@rochellaine @seekjustice @alia @ariel-ashira @catwing @kaya-young Anyone on?

@seekjustice Ah, I see.

A method all your own.  Cool. 😛

Well, I’m departing now.  Goodnight!

@rochellaine

Oh and yep. There’s a lot of outlining methods. I use my own method which seems to work for me and is fairly simple.

@rochellaine

Strange and confused can be fun, definitely, but I prefer more realistic scenarios.

I don’t think I’ve ever written anything purely comedic, but I don’t mind watching or reading something purely for fun every now and then. The thing is, my life and family is fairly comedic so I prefer to look for more serious things in fiction 😛

@seekjustice Okay, now I’m really going to have to read King Solomon’s Mines and see if it’s worse than Lysbeth and Pearl Maiden. 😛

But isn’t confused and strange fun?  I love writing confused and strange stories.  Do you ever write comedies?  We established the other night that your characters don’t always die. 😉

*looks up Snowflake meth…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Not scared me in a bad way, but thrilled and creeped me out and fascinated me. Haggard just scares me 😛

I only wrote 1k but it was terribly confused and strange. So I went back to my outline. Have you tried the Snowflake method? You might prefer that way of outlining.

@kaya-young Do you hate romance?  My absolute favorite series of all time is on Gutenberg, minus a couple of books.  It’s the Patty Fairfield series by Carolyn Wells.  It’s not all romance, but romance does play a big part.

Or Westerns?  A couple of my other favorite authors from Gutenberg are William MacLeod Raine and B.M.Bower. (There are like…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, I see (and The Magician’s Nephew scared me too).

I don’t even remember much about it, just that it terrified me when I read it years ago 🙂

@rochellaine Yes, I do! 🙂

@kaya-young Interesting.  I haven’t read any of those.  Do you like lighter, less-known works at all?

@rochellaine @seekjustice  I must bid you both goodnight! Happy writing!
