@seekjustice Well, that’s a good thing I guess. 🙂

Christmas songs are not annoying!!! 😛

Do you dislike Christmas songs because they talk about snow on Christmas?  (Bigger question I’ve been planning to ask you: do you have Australian Christmas songs?)  My family starts singing Christmas songs on Thanksgiving, though this year we started on t…[Read more]

@seekjustice

It began as an outreach thing. There are lots of foreigners who come here to study and work. One particular group my church reached out to several years ago comprised of nursing students from abroad who are now working. Since they work in shifts, they can’t attend regular Sunday services so now my church has services ok both Sundays…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, I didn’t notice the date.   Oh…I’m sorry! 🙁  I hope it isn’t too discouraging.

@valtmy 😛 Yes, isn’t it?

Haha, well, how is the story going, then?  Do you have your characters where you want them, or are they rebelling like any good character would?

Are either of you preparing for Christmas yet?  What do you usually do f…[Read more]

@seekjustice

😛 Aw… Did you miss me that much?

I spent much of Sunday (like, almost all of it since I found myself waking at 2.30am for some strange reason) on KP but you didn’t turn up and I know @rochellaine dropped by but we missed each other. 🙁

Haha it’s ok, I know Sunday’s for church. (I think I’m the only one who has service on Saturdays).

@seekjustice

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.

@rochellaine

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?

@rochellaine

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?

@rochellaine

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.

@rochellaine

Are you still around?

@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. 😛

@seekjustice

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?

@seekjustice

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]

@seekjustice

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]

@seekjustice

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]

@seekjustice

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]

@seekjustice

😛 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]

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17

Hey, anyone around?
