@ariel-ashira That’s okay, I understand. 🙂

I think I’ll be on for a bit more…

@catwing Cool! Which guild are you in? (so sorry if I’m forgetting that you’re in mine). I can’t wait to hear how the conference goes. 🙂 I’m just working on tweaking things on my website and fueling my inspiration tank via pinterest. 😛

@catwing I just left cuz no one else seemed to be on, but I can be on some more for a bit. 🙂 watcha working on?

leaving for now…

@ariel-ashira Hi! 😀 I’m just working on some outlining for my NaNo novel (and totally NOT getting distracted by pinterest 😛 ). how ’bout you?

whoops… @ariel-ashira

@seekjustice @rochellaine @alia @airle-ashira @dekreel @dragon-snapper @catwing I’m working on blog stuffs and outlining. 🙂 Anyone on?

@rochellaine

Sorry, my computer ran out of battery, but I’m back again!

Yes, I definitely base characters on people! Usually not purposefully though. I usually just realise, oh! So and so is a lot like so and so.

But I love when those disclaimers are in historical fiction novels, where the characters sometimes are real people.

@rochellaine

Maybe authors should start putting disclaimers in the front of their books:

We do not condone the behaviours of any character that seems slightly antagonistic, and nor we do take any responsibility for any of their evil deeds.

I know, poor Curt didn’t deserve anything that I forced him to endure.

Yes, it’s such an entertaining way…[Read more]

@rochellaine

People don’t actually expect us to take responsibility for our bad characters, do they?

Well, of course Curt did none of those things. Because he was a small angel. He definitely fell into the disabled angelic character trope that I see so many people complaining about 😛

@rochellaine

Unless you become ruthless. Like me 😛

Haha no. But he might as well be, down to the fact that he’s Irish and has an accent. But he’s a character from a very old book of mine (and don’t even bother asking to read it, because. Nope. No chance. No one is ever reading that thing).

@rochellaine

Poor Bathshua. She doesn’t deserve any of the things you throw at her (ah, look at me. Such a hypocrite!)

I’m currently reading over a really long and old character sheet I filled out for a character so completely perfect that I cringe now. I’m supposed to be taking the questions and filling out the sheet for another character…[Read more]

@rochellaine

It’s two o’clock, so I guess it is afternoon. And yep, I’m free for a bit. How are you? How’s Bathshua going?

@catwing Thanks 😀

@rochellaine

I think I ended up watching all of it, but over several weeks and not in chronological order 😛 I know, we’ve discussed Dirk Bogarde before 🙂

Yep, I look forward to watching it properly.

@rochellaine

Thank you! I am indeed. And guess what? My mum managed to track down a copy of the 1958 version of A Tale of Two Cities, which I hadn’t been able to find anywhere. I was pretty excited about that.

@rochellaine Sorry for my late response! It’s my birthday today, so I probably won’t be around 😀 I might find some time this afternoon though.

@rochellaine Sorry, I can’t be on right now. 🙁

@jenwriter17 Awesome! I look forward to seeing what you have to say!
