Hey there! How are you doing? I’m Chelsea R.H. aka SeekJustice 😀 Congratulations on getting your first draft done and good luck with your second draft!

And now for my obligatory questions…are you more of a tea or a coffee person? Or neither? and do you have any pets?

@larchness

Hello there! I’m Chelsea R.H., otherwise known as SeekJustice!

I really enjoy history and would have loved the chance to study it (weirdly enough, I went the dog training/disbility care route). What are your favourite periods/things to study?

Ooh, I have so many fantasy recommendations! What are your preferences (subgenres, YA,…[Read more]

oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!! I hope you all have a blessed and awesome 2021. I know you’re going to accomplish wonderful things and write some epic stories this year. 🙂 <3

@catwing I’m glad you’re doing well. 🙂 A Minecraft youtube channel? Awesome! 😀

@catwing HELLO! 😀 How have you been?

@rochellaine Hi! My holidays have been really good actually (despite changes due to the virus). How have you been doing?

@seekjustice That sounds marvelous. Here’s to all of 2021 being just as pleasant. 😉

I’m off now! I’ll chat to you all later. 😀

@catwing @alia @godlyfantasy12

@catwing

Not too bad at all. I’m recovering after the holidays 😛 How have you been?

@alia

Yeah, that’s hard. I find when I’m in a stitch like that that going back to characters can be really helpful. For me, that’s where a lot of ideas for how to integrate subplots into the main plot comes from exploring various facets of the main and side characters.

@catwing

Hellloooo!! It has been so long my friend!

@alia

Ooh that’s tricky. Are you finding it hard to come up with subplots or just integrate them into the main plot?

@alia

I definitely understand. Second drafts are so hard. What in particular are you struggling with?

@alia

That’s really good to hear. I’m going to add them to my Goodreads right now 😀

Hopefully it will be intriguing. I pantsed the whole thing (which I do not do) so its not in great shape at the moment but at least the first draft is done and I’ve got something to work with. The half-elf is awesome. Definitely one of my favourite characters…[Read more]

@alia

I’ll definitely look into her then! I enjoy books like that if they’re well written 😀

Thank you! The one I just finished is a dark(ish) fantasy thriller about two brothers, who may or may not hate each other, who have to uncover an ancient conspiracy with the help of an immortal half-elf. The one I’m working on plotting at the moment is a…[Read more]

@alia

Ooh, I’ve heard of Tessa Afshar but I’ve never read any of her books. What are some of her plots about?

I’ve read some really good books lately, mostly non-fiction and adult historical fiction! My writing’s been pretty good too. I finished another novel a couple of days ago which was really good and I’ve got plans to start another one very soon.

@alia not too bad at all. Very tired from all the crazy holidays, but doing very well. How about you? Read any good books or written anything lately?

@alia

Hey! Yes, I am for now! I may disappear sooner or later.

@rochellaine

I am keen to write it! I think it will be a lot of fun.

Yes I am! Completely certified 😀 The new ones are Bull Arabs, which is an aussie breed which look like Great Danes but a little bit smaller. They’re from a pound in Queensland and just need someone to look after them and train them until they’re adopted.

I love Pyrenees and…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 As I’ve already explained all I’ve done in 2021 is be cuddled up in bed listening to an audiobook so it’s been pretty good.

@rochellaine

I’m not sure about it being well-written at the moment, but thanks for the sentiment 😛 My next one is a historical novel set in an alternate world (fantasy, but without magic? Or anything…[Read more]

@seekjustice

LOL how is 2021 so far? The perks of being in Australia, huh? XD

(I’m not writing right now, just hopped in to say that)

@godlyfantasy12

I’m procrastinating getting out of bed. I’m usually up very early to walk my dogs, but its a public holiday and it’s raining, so its eight thirty and I’m still not out of bed lol.

My novel is still underwraps, but its a fantasy thriller novel with two brothers who may or may not hate each other as the main characters who must…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Not sure, so far no one even got the full blurb yet 😀 It is a proper fantasy though.

Yep, I knitted them! And yes, it is summer *pretends I’m not huddled under three blankets and still cold*

No, we don’t have any streaming services unfortunately, due to being rural and only have limited internet 🙁 So we just watch DVDs and a bit…[Read more]
