@seekjustice Slipper and the Rose listen through? Cool! Let’s do it together. 🙂
I’ve listened to a bit more of the Tale of Two Cities soundtrack. I just finished Resurrection Man. My favorite so far is probably No Honest Way, for some undetermined reason… 😛
Not so great. 😀 My eyes are attempting to close, my brain is telling me to writ…[Read more]

@seekjustice Are you around? I’m writing…sort of…trying to…pretending to…wishing it were as easy as it sounds…

@ariel-ashira SeekJustice said yesterday that I didn’t have to kill my characters. So there. 😛 Haha, you’re right, I probably should kill a character some time. Just let me work up to it, okay?
As for sidekicks…it’s impossible to tell when a sidekick will appear. Mine appeared quite naturally out of thin air during a conversation with Dekr…[Read more]

@alia If you call 1:30 a.m. early… 😉
@ariel-ashira I think my favorite song from SBfSB would have to be Bless Yore Beautiful Hide. However, close behind it are Wonderful, Wonderful Day and Sobbin’ Women. 😛 Don’t Howard Keel and Jane Powell have amazing singing voices?

@ariel-ashira Haha! 🙂 I do go to bed early sometimes.
Of course I like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers! @sleepwalkingmk Looks like we’ve got another fan. Ariel, who’s your favorite character?
Haha, of course. No, actually, I’m afraid killing characters is possibly heartless. (Forgive me, @seekjustice 😛 ) But I was completely joking in my p…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking Plot away! But unfortunately, I’m going to say goodnight now.
See you tomorrow, I hope!

@daughteroftheking Hello, hello, hello!!!! I haven’t seen you here in a long time! How’s it going?

@seekjustice Okay, thank you! 🙂
How’s the writing going?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@seekjustice No, I haven’t. I probably should, but since the songs are in the wrong order in the playlist I keep getting mixed up about what’s happening. I can’t even listen to the songs as they’re listed on Wikipedia because they don’t have all the same songs in the playlist. 🙁 But okay, I’ll listen to a few more now. After I look up Mi…[Read more]

@alia You gave your secret away? Be prepared for circular reasoning at random times in the future. 😀
@seekjustice My sister and I actually sort of “collect” laughs. We like Howard Keel’s laugh during his song Bless Yore Beautiful Hide in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, we like Robert Goulet’s laugh, but the most contagious laugh I’ve ever h…[Read more]

@seekjustice It all depends on your perspective. During the 1700s and 1800s getting married at fifteen was normal. When my grandmother was in high school in the 60s she had several girl friends who were getting married right out of high school, which would have been when they were seventeen, nearing eighteen.
It’s only recently that people h…[Read more]

@alia Yes, I was meaning that people say China will be sending the most missionaries out to other countries. Chinese people witnessing for Christ in other places like Africa or, you know, just other countries besides China. That’s what I’ve heard.
It’s really cool that relations with North Korea are progressing, isn’t it?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@seekjustice Yes, I guess not. We also used to live next to a family who ran a ministry home for young girls. So I had exposure to that from a very young age.
Besides that I actually know a Christian homeschooled girl whose brother married a seventeen-year-old girl. 😀 Something funny about that was that he met her during ballroom dancing cl…[Read more]

It’s a good excuse to get out a social situation you never wanted to be in though. “Excuse me, I must go. My child is calling.”
Except that you’re only seventeen… 😀
@jenwriter17 Hello! My novel is also calling me, and I’m trying to ignore it and write a long-overdue blog post, but since I have no idea what to write for the post a…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira @alia It’s not an amazing poem, but you can read it if you want. Here’s the link.

@seekjustice Well, if you look at it technically and literally, I am in the South. I live below the Mason-Dixon line which is the official start of Dixie. There’s a reason I can give you for why most people think we don’t live in the south, but before I do that:
What state do you think I live in? I don’t remember ever stating sp…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m not back. 😀 I’m just popping in to say give that advice to your sister, sure, but tell her to take it with a grain of salt, since it comes from a writer who can’t possibly kill her own characters. 😛
Also to say that I’ve never that I can remember heard @catwing‘s saying. 😉 America’s a big place, and we have a lot of di…[Read more]

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@seekjustice Tell your sister that I understand the problem, but from everything I’ve read with advice on writing that’s considered a very bad reason to kill a character. If you need to kill them off, have a good reason to do so. Don’t just do it because you can’t think of anything else to do. 😀

@catwing Your brother got you a sword? Well, my brother got me a Civil War style Colt Navy revolver. Top that!
😛 😛 😛 😛 😛
Seriously, though, I read your blog post about it and the sword sounds really cool!
(Especially since the range we normally go to won’t allow black powder guns, so I rarely get to shoot the revolver anyway. 🙁 )

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
@seekjustice Thank you! Bless you! I will survive.
And think of the many great authors who didn’t kill characters in every novel. Even C.S. Lewis didn’t. He only killed characters in some of his books. Jane Austen, of course, but you don’t like her, so that’s not really a good argument.
Can’t you all think of any more?
