Getting back to the original topic…Has anyone read The Courtship of Miles Standish? I really loved John Alden in that because the poor guy had to fight it out with himself about whether to help his best friend court the girl that he was actually in love with himself.
I also adore Peter in Not Regina.
And I’ve always wondered: Is it sa…[Read more]

Rochellaine replied to the topic How many characters is too many? in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@ariella-newheart Oh, I had this same problem with one of my books… 🙂
Since this is a series you are writing, the easiest way to do it without confusing the readers might be to make only a few characters the important ones in each book. If the others are background characters in one book, and then they become important characters in another…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart Good question! I have struggled with the exact same thing in my KPA (that’s Kapeefer Adventure, sort of like the LOKD). I guess it depends on the series: How long it is, and when and where your MC(s) are traveling. If you have to put in all your recurring characters, you could either alter the characters so they fit each scene,…[Read more]

@clairec Haha! No, I was speaking figuratively. There’s no specific “marriageable age.” 😀
However, my dad is from the Middle Eastern culture, and marriage and grandchildren are very important to him, and to all of us. After all, “children are a blessing.” 🙂 The way we figure it is a guy is “ready” to get married when he has a good job with…[Read more]

@kaya-young Good topic idea! Let’s see…. The most recent thing I can think of is Shakespeare’s play, Richard III. I haven’t read Act 5, though, so no spoilers X)

@warrenluthor04 WOW! Those are amazing names! I’m afraid I can’t pronounce Ualair, though. Is it pronounced like a Hawaiian name? Or a European name? Or is the pronunciation entirely original? 😀

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @kaya-young @ingridrd @notawriter @dekreel
So, I think I’m going with Oliver, since it has the majority. I still haven’t decided on a title for the book yet, but will probably go with Blueberria, Blueberries for Oliver, or A Ticket to Blueberria.
However, I tried to edit the name into the book but couldn’t figure out…[Read more]

@seekjustice Awww, thanks. 😀 I can’t wait!
Inner logician: Well actually, that phrase never made sense to me, because obviously the person saying it will be forced to wait, and therefore can wait. If I truly couldn’t wait it would be necessary for me to die before the time to read your book came upon us. The phrase “I can’t wait” should only…[Read more]

@clairec Oh, we’ve worried about the same thing! We have thousands of books in our library, many of which were birthday and Christmas gifts for various of our thirteen siblings. Now that five of us are marrying age( 😀 ) we have kind of reached an agreement with our anxious younger siblings that any books gotten while at home stay with our p…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper 🙂 yeah. That’s also why we don’t use our real names, right? 😀 I understand. Talk to you later!

@rochellaine XD Yep! It’s quite amusing, although I have a strange case of internet paranoia, so I probably won’t confess anything. 😉 😛 If you know what I mean…
@seekjustice No, thanks for rambling. That is actually really helpful!
And I think I’m going to sign out now. I wrote 797 to my novel, and a beginning of a blog post. Now… I have…[Read more]

Rochellaine replied to the topic In Honor of Valentine's Day… in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@seekjustice Oh, I don’t know if I ever told you how much I liked Jonas. I don’t think I listed him with my favorite characters because the list was already too long. But I loved his sweet counseling of Chessy which did not detract from his manliness.

Snapper replied to the topic Writer's Corner #13 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@seekjustice Well that’s good. XD I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it so far.
Soo… do you make comments on your novel before editing it? (I’m going to edit a book soon and it will technically be my first time editing a novel by myself on a computer. Yay…)
@rochellaine HI! Ooh, western. I’ve considered doing one of those before.
