I just talked to you last Saturday. 😛 But it has been a very, very long time since all three of us were on the forum at the same time. Man, what I’ll give for a more flexible schedule.
Ah, yes. Last-minute panic is an excellent motivator. 😛
Haha I have absolutely no idea how many parts there will be for QOD. I am…[Read more]

@valtmy 😛 Interest is one thing, time is another. Finals are just around the corner. 😉
(bows)
Cool. How many parts will there be?
@seekjustice Hi!! 😀 Yes, it has been a bit too long, hasn’t it?
Thanks. 😛
How’s NaNo coming along?

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
Do I get a prize for guessing which is claiming more of your interest? 😛
(Gives Rochellaine a round of applause)
As I told Seekjustice, I’ve been readying QOD Part 3 for upload.

@valtmy Hello! Yes, it has been.
I’m off and on switching from memorizing law school definitions to work on Daughter of Judas. 😉
I reached the 10,000 word mark today! 😀
How about you? What are you working on?

Hi! I won’t be here long but it’s been a while since we talked, hasn’t it?
What’re you working on? 🙂

@seekjustice @valtmy @jenwriter17
I’m writing now.

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
Are you still around?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
@valtmy Oh, I missed you again! I’m writing now, though. Anyone else? @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @dekreel @catwing

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17
I’ve woken up way earlier than planned so I suppose I should make use of the time to do some writing. I guess I’ll be here today. 😛

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
Ah, I see. I guess that might also tie into your worldbuilding as well.
All right then I shall aim to meet your expectations and surprise you at the same time. 🙂 (That was a very weird sentence that I think only makes sense in storytelling).
I will need to make a move now. Do you think you’ll be on tomorrow?

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
Oh. I must have misunderstood then. 😛
As one of your betas, I don’t think I gave you any feedback regarding your descriptions. Because I am the last person who should be doing that. Was that a common issue the others pointed out?
Yes, it’s amazing how these stories are as much of a learning experience for our characters as it is…[Read more]

Oh dear. You got an impression of my extreme discomfort with descriptive writing just from reading some of my writing? I really need to improve. 😛
It’s just that I see everything so clearly in my head so it’s hard to figure out how to convey all that to the poor readers who don’t see. I’m the sort of reader who skips descriptive…[Read more]

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
All right. I’ll just leave myself a note there. I’ll have to think of how to make it less abrupt since I really had nothing else planned for that scene. The first idea I have is to just put in some description of the ambience and zoom out into the night sky but that works better for movies, I think. I always get the feeling that I’m…[Read more]

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
I see. For me I don’t really outline. I have the ending in mind and I know what is suppose to happen in the next few chapters but nothing beyond that (Like I said, I’m writing by faith). Tying everything together in the climax is going to be tough but I just need to get myself more motivated to actually write first before worrying…[Read more]

😛 In essence, you could have just distilled it to, “It’s back to square one for Wattle Fire.” (Not in terms of writing, of course, since I’m sure you gained some insights on that. But as a reader waiting for it, it is square one).
I’ve got good and bad news for you too.
Good news is that I’m preparing QOD Part 3 for upload.
Bad…[Read more]

Yes, it is frightening to think that there’s a possibility of tripping over or stepping on one of the little dogs. But they are so adorable! I don’t recognize the name “Papillon” but I looked for pictures, and I feel like I’ve seen that type of dog before. They’re really cute. I have to say I like Shih Tzus bes…[Read more]

I’ve read books by a few different authors who had “cameos” from characters in other series they had written previously. 😀 That was fun. But you really couldn’t have a crossover between Courageous and Infinity, and I could not have a crossover between my western and DoJ. 😛
Labs are pretty. What color is he? Are Jack and Davy A…[Read more]

Now you’ve started me wondering whether Chara and Bathshua would like each other, and I’m still undecided. 😛
😀 You’re right, it is weird. Not really appealing to the aesthetic tastes, is it? 😉 But it might be fun.
Oh wow, I’m sorry it’s so cold! Cold is bad enough in the winter time, but in the summer…eek! 🙁

@seekjustice He should meet up with Quillon and learn how to say “gracious goodness.”
My last (full) sentence was
With a pop, he landed on a bright black and orange fuzzy rug and did a somersault before bouncing to his feet.
(“Pop” because he popped out of somewhere onto the fuzzy rug… 😛 it sounds so weird.)
Aw, too bad. 🙁 About the weather,…[Read more]
