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]

@seekjustice Goodbye, and please treat your patients better than my doctors and nurses treat theirs! 😛

@seekjustice Thank you!  That is how I intended it, so when Valtmy said it should be more realistic I was kind of confused.  I like realistic, but there’s a time and place for very unrealistic stuff as well. 😉  I just wanted to put a piece of craziness together, and I think that worked. 😛

@seekjustice Ah, perfect. 😛  My sister has fallen asleep (which is actually a good thing…) so I can’t show her the story. 🙁 I can’t wait until tomorrow morning, because it’s the type of story she’ll love.

I have a question.  You gave me a lot of corrections on my medical personnel in my Western, so you’re probably the perfect person to ask a…[Read more]

@seekjustice I assume that means you liked it? 😛

@valtmy @seekjustice Oh, I don’t think I allowed you commenting access.  If you want to comment, but can’t, you can probably use this link instead:

Or you can just tell me what you think here. 😀

@valtmy Okay, so when you said you were writing comedy, (yes, I already knew you were writing comedy, but you know sometimes your brain does different things at different times, right?) my brain had a flash that went something like “I love writing comedy.  I should write a comedy short story.” and then I started to write.  Starting from the f…[Read more]

@seekjustice @valtmy It’s almost done.  Give me a few more minutes. 😉

@rochellaine

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

@seekjustice @valtmy Sorry for kind of disappearing!  I didn’t really go anywhere, it’s just that Valtmy gave me a great idea for a very short story and I got caught up in writing it and forgot to post for a while. 🙂

@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]

@valtmy Sort of. 🙂  I’ve written enough that I could post it, but nothing exciting happens in any of the scenes I’ve written lately, since they’re just resolution scenes for the earlier excitements.  I was planning to wait until I at least had something new that would be a little bit interesting before posting the next section.

I don’t want to b…[Read more]

@rochellaine

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

@seekjustice Mm, sounds good!  I love Chinese food, but it gives me a stomachache, so…there’s always that balance when I have the chance to eat it. 😛  Oh, pasta is also a dish we eat a lot.  Mostly when my dad isn’t home, though, since he thinks pasta is bland. 😉  My mom makes a good spicy lasagna, though, that he does enjoy.

You’ll never gue…[Read more]

@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]

@valtmy Hello!  What are you working on?  How is it going?

@rochellaine @seekjustice

Hey guys. I’m on now. 🙂

@jenwriter17 Okay, I’m not sure if I’ll be on tomorrow, but if I am, I hope to see you then! 🙂

😛 Thanks for the advice.  I’ll try to take it!  (Notice, I said TRY. 😉 )
