Hey I’m back now.
And totally agree with the flowers things by the way 😛 That’s the kind of stuff that only works in fiction where you can be sure both parties are adept in the language.

@seekjustice Oh, and about the flower thing…that’s cool in a fictional tale, but wouldn’t it be awkward in real life? I mean, how do you tell whether the flowers are intended for speech or whether they’re intended for loveliness? If the guy gave the girl “will you marry me” flowers, and the girl gave the guy “yes” flowers back, then the girl t…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, the worst thing for me in a book or movie proposal is when the guy goes on for five minutes saying things like “you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me, I love you from the depths of my heart. God has blessed me with you and I know that I will find happiness if you will grant me the right to spend the rest of my life…[Read more]

@seekjustice Okay, well, rest assured that I have come up with an unusual proposal for one of my novels. I’m just not telling you what it is yet. 😛
Haha! That’s along the line of the unconventional proposals I was thinking of. However, I don’t like the ideas much personally. I would prefer a simple and sweet proposal, just so long as it doe…[Read more]

I think the going on the knee thing is just really weird. And unoriginal. So my answer is no.

@seekjustice Oh, I was talking about two separate proposal scenes. 😛 The one I described is in a published book, and I consider it to be quite conventional. 😉 The other one is a hypothetical proposal scene which I haven’t written yet, only noted the idea for. That one is much more unconventional. Actually, I’m not sure whether it act…[Read more]

Hi. There’s no work today so I’ll be on 🙂 though I’ll have to go off for a little while soon…
That proposal rant though… 😛

@seekjustice A proposal scene already planned out? 😛 I also have one for two lesser characters in one of my novels. It is, likewise, quite unconventional. I believe I have written one proposal scene so far, and it was set in the 1800s so basically he asked her brother, then called her in and said something like, “your brother is willing, so wi…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well then! Here I go. 😛
So, I was just reading a book and I knew this guy was about to propose. So for the last few pages I was just mentally begging him “please do not get down on your knee. Please do not get down on your knee!” And, a few pages later, what does he do? He defies my perfectly reasonable request and plops dow…[Read more]

@seekjustice Are you prepared for a rant? If not, I’ll hold back, but I’m in a ranting mood. 😛
(Warning, it’s about romance cliches, which you might or might not enjoy a rant about… 😉 )

@daughteroftheking Hello! What are you working on?
@seekjustice *laughs* Ahem! 😛 Uh, I think, contrariwise, I have the least emotional strain when I am writing the romance scenes…
Ooh! That sounds very interesting!! 😀 I can’t wait to read it. (Will there be more window scenes??)
Well, I’ll let you know when I finish it, of course. 🙂

@seekjustice Interesting. Giving Quillon a turn to take first place, are we? I’m interested to watch what changes his character will go through during the course of this, seeing as he’s not usually one to take risks, which seems to be a necessary component of a hero’s makeup. 😉
I’m also interested in the fact that he could possibly be your f…[Read more]

@seekjustice So you have a villain now…but do you have a hero? 😛 You were asking for suggestions in the comment section of Empty. 😉
Of course. 😛 If only you felt that way about Zac…
Hooray for you! 😀 Will you be upset if I don’t ask you to let me read it? Knowing the story of ATOTC partially ruined the second book for me, and I don…[Read more]

@seekjustice So I thought. 🙂 I don’t recall you ever saying a good word about a one of them, though you’ve said you liked the conflict they cause or things to that effect.
Haha, yes, your sister and I will be forever at odds as to whether you should have saved Justice or Zac at the end of the Empty. And they are both what you might call a…[Read more]

@seekjustice Here I am! 😀
@catwing, I can confirm that Quillon is most certainly NOT a villain, and I don’t believe SeekJustice likes any of her very horrible and unlikeable villains.
She does seem to like anti-heroes, though… 😉
Oh, and you probably won’t realize it’s Quillon when you first meet him. He’s an unnamed character in several…[Read more]

I’ll be on in about fifteen or twenty minutes, actually, but I just wanted to make sure you’ll be on then. 😉

Might be around for a little while. Not writing though. Tomorrow’s another break day so I’ll have more time then.
