@seekjustice Haha, okay.  I thought that it was set during the French Revolution.  I don’t know a lot of French history, mostly where French history interconnected with the history of other countries.  What exactly happened in the 1830s that Les Mis was set during that period?

Okay, so about Jean leaving Chessy in the trench, yeah, he should pr…[Read more]

@seekjustice Um, yeah, but children’s rights hadn’t been discussed yet in the 1700s…

Setting your story in the present day/future means that the cultural things won’t all match up with the circumstances in Les Mis.  Such as the thing I talked to you a long time a go about, with Sapphire being looked down upon, which is not so much a thing…[Read more]

@valtmy No, you weren’t making it too obvious, it worked fine for me. 😉

Oh, oh!  Haha, I’m so sorry!  I just realized how that sounded.  I didn’t mean that you don’t understand jokes unless they’re explained to you.  I meant that you prefer more realistic circumstances, as you were pointing out how the nurses and doctor didn’t act prof…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Oh yeah. That part I was really struggling with because I already consider it beyond my usual humour. That scene was meant to poke fun at poetic language and at obnoxious heroines who think they are too ‘smart’ and ‘deep’ compared to other girls. I felt I was making it too obvious.

Carefully explained and diagrammed? I’m not that…[Read more]

@valtmy I’m not sure…I think it was the part about the party where she was talking to all her brother’s friends and embarrassing herself by not knowing the meaning of the poetry. 😉

Anyway, we’ve already established that we enjoy different types of humor, right? 😛  You need to have your humor carefully explained and diagramed, while I prefer…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hmm I guess that makes sense. I’m calling it a parody because that’s the closest thing I can think of for now. I’m trying to strike a delicate balance between drama and comedy. In some ways being over the top is good but I’m also deconstructing some of the cliches and sometimes that calls for being more subdued and…[Read more]

@catwing Goodnight!  Oh, you’ll be here tomorrow?  I hope so!  I’ve been missing you. 😀

That reminds me, @dekreel I’m so sorry to have missed you earlier!!!  I wish I had been here at the right time to chat with you a bit. 🙁  Hope to see you soon again.

@seekjustice I’m starting chapter 20 now, and in the opening of that Justice is telling Chessy she is supposed to be at home, as usual. 😛  Then Jonas looks at Justice to make him shut up, also as usual. 😛

However, I was wondering, of course Jonas would tell Justice not to be so harsh, but Justice is just trying to protect Chessy, so why is he…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hey. Just getting lost reading SeekJustice’s blog and reviewing what I wrote last night… Do you think it is weird if every other character is described as handsome, beautiful, attractive etc.? I mean, my story is supposed to have a sugary romance novel surface (underneath the surface is something else entirely) after…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m here now!  How’s it going?  I think I’m finally going to read the rest of the third part of the second draft of your first book…I love the way that sounds…before I get back to my own book. 😀

@catwing Your WIP sounds interesting, but I’ve been waiting for three years for you to write Firebird… 😛

Just kidding, though.  I…[Read more]

@seekjustice @catwing

Sorry. Am getting distracted checking out the blog 😛

I have no discipline when it comes to POVs. I just finished a chapter with a scene from the POV of a minor character who I doubt will ever show up on page again. I am amazed how you managed to consistently stick with a few POVs each book, SeekJustice.

@introvert_girl

Yep this is the same job I was agonising over back then. God is great! 😀

@catwing

Thanks! 🤗

@seekjustice @catwing

Hey I’ll be here for a bit before I go off for bible study.

SeekJustice you have a blog? Can I read it? 😀

@jenwriter17  With the pencils, yes. 🙂

@seekjustice  @rochellaine  @valtmy  @jenwriter17  @sarah-anson  @anyone

Oy! I’m writing! Care to join me?

@jenwriter17  That’s AWESOME!!

Could you do me a favor and darken the picture, if you can? So the color pops more? Thank you!

@alia I’m sorry!  I’ll pray for her family.

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @alia @gh24682468999

Thanks guys 🙂 All the best for you too!

@seekjustice @rochellaine

Bye! I’m also leaving.

@seekjustice @valtmy Haha, I have been thinking about Nes so much I thought he had a longer scene.  I see I was wrong. 😛  But thanks for the input.  In answer,

No, she’s not going on a long journey, she’ll be coming home pretty soon, so living in the same town with Nes, (at least during the beginning of the book,) she’ll probably see him ag…[Read more]
