Oh wow. That’s actually a very relevant question for my characters.

QOD: If Myeongwol had chosen differently, her life would be tougher in the short term. She would lose her position and privileges in the short term but in the long term she would have had a much better chance for happiness. For Seungyun, his major decision points…[Read more]

@valtmy

What would your characters be like if they had made a different decision at a major turning point in their lives?

@valtmy

Oh, interesting. I think Yilla would fear losing her family the most, as much of what she does is to protect them. I think Courageous fears losing just about everything so its hard to say what he fears most. High-Praise would start off fearing losing her position and privilege and finishes off fearing losing her children.

@seekjustice

That sounds like a job interview question.

QOD: Myeongwol would want to have an army to get revenge on her enemies. Seungyun would like his theatre empire to have the monopoly on drama and to earn a noble position. Taekyeon wants his theatre to be thriving and him and his fellow actors be able to live peacefully and with…[Read more]

@valtmy

Ensuring it sounds even more ominous.

Ah, yes. Where would your character like to be in five years?

@seekjustice

Just to clarify, it was his father the emperor who kicked them out to the streets. Shu Juqing just… ensured it.

By the way it’s your turn to ask a question.

@valtmy

I don’t imagine so. Revolutionaries don’t tend to put their disposed kings in luxury prisons.

Well, its true that I have a general abhorrence for royalty, but he sounds quite interesting, and I do admire the fact that he kicks his brothers onto the street.

I’m not sure if I should admire that, but I do.

The question was open to…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I’m not soaking with my phone. I’m picking up my phone from time to time to see if you’ve replied. 😛

Poor Courageous. Is it at least a luxury prison?

Haha. I imagine Shu Juqing to be a love-him-or-hate-him kind of character. I’m surprised that you, the Australian that abhors royalty, are saying that you like him.

By the way,…[Read more]

@valtmy

A relaxing soak with your phone?

Unfortunately for Courageous, he ends up as a homeless commoner anyway. Though he isn’t technically homeless, since he at least gets to live in prison.

I like this character of yours, though it seems like you can’t win with him.

Ah, sorry. I was distracted by suggested wordcounts for YA, and by w…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I’m having what’s called a relaxing soak.

Homeless commoners have to worry about food though. And even if Courageous stayed at the palace, he’ll be bullied horribly because Shu Juqing would see no reason to respect him as a brother and a prince.

So do you have a question? Or should I come up with one?

@valtmy

But I’m not sure I see the point of going to the pool if you’re going to spend all your time on the net 😛

Well, we could argue about that till the cows come home. But at least homeless commoners don’t have to make royal addresses 😀

@seekjustice

Haha I am at the pool now! And I can continue surfing the net here!

Oh, it’s not going to be that easy. If Courageous will not take on royal responsibilities, he will not have the privileges as well. Shu Juqing’s brothers were kicked out of the palace with nothing but the clothes on their back. And they were not even expensive…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

WHAT????

Bye 🙂

@valtmy

Ooh, a swim sounds lovely. I haven’t been swimming in ages.

Being king keeps Courageous up at night. I don’t know what would keep Yilla up at night but it would have to be something very, very terrible. Homesickness and/or loneliness would keep High-Praise awake.

Shu Juqing sounds quite interesting. And I…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Bye!

@seekjustice

I’m going off for a short while for a swim but I’ll love to continue if you want to. 🙂

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice

QOD: I think ‘Rewrite the Stars’ from The Greatest Showman really fit Myeongwol and Taekyeon. And as I mentioned before, the soundtrack of 42nd Street in general.

ROF: I am just trying to recall the names of all the epic, grand battle music scores I’ve listened to but can’t.

My question: Your characters can’t sleep!…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice

I love playing around with clichés in my story. Shu Juqing is basically my experiment at taking all the traits associated with evil princes (e.g. ambition, ruthlessness) and turning them into a force for good. He is great as a friend, companion and ruler… He is just really, really terrifying and horrible to have as a…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

I’ve heard we’re the only country that eats the animals on its coat of arms, seeing as we also eat emu on occasion. I’m not sure if that’s true or not, but seeing as Britain has a unicorn and lion on their coat of arms, I believe it 😉

Hmm…I think I did this in my blog post the other day. Courageous would be “Courageous” because I…[Read more]

@valtmy

I was just thinking that Shu Juqing sounded quite nice. Maybe I misinterpreted everything 😛

@jenwriter17

It’s a great traditional delicacy and was particularly popular before the colonisation

@valtmy

I don’t know if Yilla is charismatic enough to do really well at running fot president, but if she did she’d be a great president. Courageous and High-Praise wouldn’t get far at all, which is unfortunate, seeing as they actually are…[Read more]

@seekjustice

My crown prince’s name is Shu Juqing and from what I know of your story, Courageous should be very, very glad he does not have him as a brother. 😛

I think it’s your turn to ask a question 😀
