@seekjustice Which would you choose? 😛 It’s actually easy if you realize what true love is, right?  I mean, wouldn’t it obviously be better for him to live, even though married to someone else, than die a horrible death?  Sounds like she had a pretty selfish love if there was even a consideration of showing him the wrong door.  What do you th…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hm, I seem to recognize the name.  I think I may have heard of him before.  I’ll have to look him up.

And you should definitely look up Paul Washer.  He’s amazing, and very passionate.

Ah, haha!  I was thinking that would be the one you would like. 😛  I’m not sure which one I like best.  I just watched on YouTube the American Playh…[Read more]

@seekjustice Cool!  Who’s the speaker?  My favorite is Paul Washer, but though he’s famous among us U.S. homeschoolers, I don’t think you’ve heard of him. 😛

Aaand, I probably haven’t heard of your speaker either, but…tell me anyway? 😉

@seekjustice Hey, are you still awake?  I’m here now. 🙂

The soundtrack I was listening to was from a musical called The Apple Tree.  Ever heard of it?

@seekjustice

Oh. I must have been dozing off when I read that part 😂

But my suggestions for Mathias are the same. Figure out what his motivations are, maybe think about how his relationship with his superior officer Caderousse and his fellow soldiers are etc. So far to me Mathias feels rather unnecessary. He seems to be there just to show that…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Hey. Great to know that they are going to be fixed! I’m really looking forward to reading your second draft now! 😊

For Mathias, I guess you can start by thinking up of a believable motivation for him much like Caderousse. Why is he serving in an immoral legal system? Why did he let Chessy and Rain go instead of reporting them to C…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, wow!!  Please send it over!  I don’t know how much I’ll read tonight, since I’ve got to get up around 5:30 tomorrow, but I might read it tomorrow in the car or something.  (My dad’s speaking at a church a few hours away, so we’ve got to leave by 6:30.)

I listened to a new soundtrack today… 😉

@rochellaine

OK it’s good that that’s going to be fixed in the next draft. 😀

I read your fanfics! They are really sweet and cute! 😊

@jenwriter17 Oh, I love Gideon too!!  He’s adorable.  So cute, especially when he…uh…every scene… 😛  But I love it when he dances with Milly in the “Goin’ Courtin'” scene.  And when he says “nice night for coon huntin'” as a “sweet thing.” 😛 (that was him, right?  It’s been a while.)

That actor is one of my favorite actors as well.  Funny…[Read more]

@valtmy Sorry, I went to sleep early last night, so I’m replying now. 🙂

Ah, haha.  Now that I put you through all the trouble of explaining I suddenly remembered that SeekJustice put a big backstory scene in with Maria in the second draft. 😛  I think she’s already thought through all those issues and will fix them as she finishes the second d…[Read more]

@rochellaine

As I have said, I am fine with the sparing of Mathias. The contrived resolution I am speaking of is the resolution to the Caderousse-Chessy conflict which is resolved with Caderousse, much like Javert, letting Chessy go and committing suicide later. In the original Les Mis, this was a fitting and sufficient resolution because of…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, I do too!  Jane Powell, (Milly,) is one of my absolute favorite female singers.  Possibly my favorite, but I never can decide… 😛

My favorite song is probably “Bless Yore Beautiful Hide.”  (What do you think of Howard Keel’s voice?  It’s really deep and cool sounding, isn’t it?  Or do you prefer tenors?)  But all the songs are amazing.

@valtmy I have never fully read Les Mis, actually.  I’ve skimmed it and read parts of it, and read the synopsis several times, so I know a lot of the story, but I would say I could probably give a pretty near perspective of a reader who hasn’t read Les Mis. 😉  What “contrived resolution” are you referring to?  Because you mentioned several th…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Thanks! I’ll read them later. 😀

Oh no, not really. I’ll go check the comments out later if I have the time.

I was not expecting a full blown Valjean-Javert conflict. But Chessy (along with her father) is sort of like Valjean with the unjust hard labour and all that. To me, SeekJustice is writing this from a ‘Valjean’ perspective…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, cool!  Yes, that’s the most popular part generally, I believe.  Or at least, the most famous part.  It’s really well choreographed.

Who is your favorite character?  What’s your favorite song?

@valtmy Oh, and did you read through all our crazy comments at the end of When Infinity is Empty?  Some of them are pretty hilarious. 😛

@valtmy Hi!  Sure, you can read my fanfics. 😀  @seekjustice has one too, so you can ask her for that.  But I have written two that I’ll post here for you:

Legend of the Re…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Hey. Just dropping by to let you know that I’ve finished reading both SFI and WIIE. 🙂 I didn’t put in any comments because I know you’re already in the process of editing. I’m not sure what sort of feedback you’re looking for so I’ll just share with you my general thoughts.

Overall I quite like both of them. Retellings are usually…[Read more]

@seekjustice Ok, I’m falling asleep now.  See you tomorrow, and have fun at dance class!

Great!  I’m waiting to read it, of course! 😀

@seekjustice I won’t be awake much longer than that anyway. 😉

It’s going pretty well. 😀  I’m still having fun, which is good.  Since I’m getting sleepy it’s a little slower than it was earlier, but I’m still pretty much on a roll.  I hope the “roll” lasts long enough for me to get a good deal done!

How’s your editing?
