Oh, that’s good. Mary Poppins is very awesome (or indeed, practically perfect).

(The concept of the movie is that there’s a curse on the Romanovs, which is why they all died. And the curse is trying to kill Anastasia. So it’s portrayed in a negative light…but yeah).

@rochellaine

Well, I…find it highly annoying. Like,…[Read more]

@seekjustice You should definitely read the novel.  The Princess Bride happens to be one of the very few stories with which the movie and book are equally good.  But the book is very different from the movie.

Well…I’m wondering where the love/hate relationship with the movie comes from, in that case? 😛  Glad you don’t think ridiculous is ne…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, what types are you thinking so far? Hopefully, I’ll get time to do my promised blog post today, but we’ll see.

Have you seen Mary Poppins? I much prefer the Broadway/Australian version to the movie, but the movie is pretty good. the Anastasia animated movie is also really good (as long as you’re okay with a few scary moments and…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, no I haven’t answered yet.  I think you asked me right as I was leaving one night, and I didn’t get a chance to reply.

So, let’s see…

Oklahoma! (1955) by Rogers and Hammerstein is really good.  The antagonist is rather scary, but I think you said your siblings have watched mildly scary stuff before, right?

Singin’ in the Ra…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, cool! I don’t think I know anyone I would class as a ISTJ. I’m pretty sure I know people of most other types. Though, I do know one girl and I’m not sure if she’s a INTJ, INTP or ISTJ….Once you get into Myers Briggs there’s no coming back.

And yep, it’s that novel!

@rochellaine

Nope, I haven’t.

Dear friend, you should know…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Daughter of Judas. 😉 How about you?

@seekjustice Have you ever read the book?

Also…huge question here: When did ridiculous become a negative thing?

@jenwriter17

*pats you on the head…or some other equally patronising thing*

I’m reading about characters with the ISTJ type at the moment, because my heroine for my new novel is an ISTJ and I don’t have a whole lot of experience dealing with them.

Unfortunately no. There’s been a few sprinkles, but nothing at all substantial. Keep…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice I got distracted reading about The Princess Bride, but I’m back now. 😉

@jenwriter17

I think I’m having KP withdrawals 😀

Yes, my birthday was on the sixth. So I’m technically the older 😛

HAPPY BIRTHDAY though!

@rochellaine @jenwriter17

HELLLOOO! I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve chatted to anyone on here. Even though it’s only been three days.

@seekjustice @valtmy @alia @catwing @dekreel Anyone around tonight?

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 @valtmy @dekreel @ariel-ashira @catwing

I’ll be here for a little bit, trying to write a blog post!

(also, if you’ve ever wanted to know anything about my book, let me know! I’m trying to come up with some random pieces of trivia and I’m finding it difficult…)

@valtmy

It was about six, so I think I wandered off and gpt distracted and then went for dinner.

I’ll probably have to go in a minute.

@seekjustice

It’s ok. It was getting towards the end of the day for you right? 😛

I’m up early so I have a little time but I have to go off for work soon.

@valtmy

Sorry, I just kinda disappeared on you yesterday.

@seekjustice

Haha. I noticed that my story set-ups are always such that they look like romance novels when they are really, really not romance novels.

For this story idea, I’m thinking of a book series that covers different but related murder cases and culminates into a finale that addresses the overarching story and mystery. The whole a…[Read more]

@valtmy

Ah, arranged marriages are another interesting point that a lot of people malign (though in some cases, how can you blame them?).

Something else you could try though, is an alternate history type thing. I have no much experience with that genre, but the plot could work in that sort of setting.

@seekjustice

*sigh* I hate reading “But you’re a woman!” scenes so if I have to write one myself, I’d rather not write the story at all. And I really have no interest in tackling all the issues of the period like war, revolution, industrialization, colonialism… I mean, I just want to write a murder mystery, not a social critique.

Yeah, I have…[Read more]

@valtmy

She sounds quite interesting. I should read more about her.

Well, then you’ll either have to choose to confront the issues or just make up a world where they don’t exist 😛

@seekjustice

I went to check. Marie Curie lived from 1867 – 1934 in Poland and France. She went to boarding school as a girl but but was rejected by regular institutions for higher education because she was a woman. Instead she went to a clandestine Flying University, a Polish patriotic institution of higher learning that admitted female…[Read more]
