Meanwhile, there’s only so much lack-of-death we can take 😛 I guess it’s good that my WIP is not really a romantic comedy otherwise I would not have been able to get you to help me beta read at all.

German musicals? I have watched quite a few musicals but I don’t think I ever heard of any German musicals in particular.

@seekjustice

It’s OK. Considering all the things I’m going to put my characters through, I think I am just as bad if not worse than you. Let’s concern @rochellaine together 😛

Ooh what are you watching? I’m watching a teaser trailer of a Korean television show. It was from quite a while ago but the actor I like is just so adorable in it I can’t…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Ooh what a sadist. You’re editing?

Actually I’m not writing much now since I’m getting distracted watching videos of this actor that I really like 😛 But such is life.

@seekjustice

I’m finishing up the dumping of my MC into a pit of despair for my WIP.

@alia

Yes sorry. I was in a good part in my writing just now so got distracted 🙂

@seekjustice

Hey. I’m still here.

@jenwriter17

Haha no. Not really my thing.

@jenwriter17

I’m here. Working on my WIP.

@jenwriter17 Yes, I saw your website!  Sorry I forgot to let you know.  It looks great!

@alia Haha, yes.  Getting distracted is very easy!  Much easier than staying focused, actually. 😛

I guess I can ask you the question I usually ask SeekJustice: Have you been listening to anything interesting lately? 😉

@alia Writing, and studying.  Each is declaring it is more important, 😛  so I have to switch back and forth.

And searching for vinyl records of hymns by Jim Reeves… 😉

How about you?

@alia I guess so. 🙂  I may be on and off for a bit.

A few others who would be awake around this time would be @dekreel @catwing and @jenwriter17

@seekjustice It is amazing how different and yet how similar other families can be to ours at the same time.  It does seem like a sort of paradox. 😀

Haha, real people tend to be harder to describe than the characters in books; no matter how complex the characters are, human beings have something that only God can give them, and mere imitations…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, my parents use that in their marriage counseling.  They say that everyone comes from different subcultures, or mini, family-cultures.  It’s easier to notice when you come from drastically different backgrounds, but every family has different ways of doing things, and it’s important to talk it all out before you get in a fight b…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, I’ve read too many books where authors dismiss the traditions of other cultures because they sound silly to them in the culture where they were raised. 😛  I’ve got a bit of experience in understanding that someone else’s culture could be different because my mom and dad came from such different cultures.  (You know my dad’s M…[Read more]

@seekjustice Tevye isn’t perfect, but he’s funny, and his relationship with God is cool, when you listen to his prayers.

I think there wasn’t meant to be much closure.  Tevye did say “and God be with you” in the end, but the end of the film seems to be a dreary hope that one day things may be better, rather than the bright day of a new…[Read more]

@valtmy Is it okay if I answer a few of your comments?  I’ve read the second draft of her book, and a few things have changed…

For one, Chessy is noted to be adopted from the first, so it is no longer a surprise in the second book.  That helps for continuity. 😀

Oh yes, about the trial! I agree with you.  Why didn’t Jean and Quillon just te…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, wowly-wow!! 😛  I am impressed.  What did you think of Fiddler on the Roof?  My family sees the theme in that to be “when you rebel against traditions simply because you feel like it, rather than for a good reason, society crumbles.” or something like that.  I’m bad at being concise, so that might not be a fully correct sta…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Hey. 🙂 I’m answering your questions here. I may have missed out some things because they did not cross my mind at the moment but here goes:

When did you feel like the story had really begun?
The prologue. It was necessary in order to understand what was going on and it informs readers of the first book that Jean is not Chessy’s b…[Read more]

@seekjustice Very true.  Because we are taught that life was horrible for women back in those days, it obviously must have been.  But it was really just women were treated differently in different parts of the countries or world, like they are now.  I think people were happier back then as a general rule, too, more than they are now, because ba…[Read more]

@seekjustice I just looked it up, and then remembered that I have had pizza with eggs on it before, but for dinner at a nice restaurant.  Apparently you can eat that for breakfast too.  Another very popular switch-up here is people very often have what we call “breakfast for dinner,” meaning you eat waffles or pancakes for dinner instead of b…[Read more]
