@rochellaine, I am. what are you working on?

@Jenwriter17 I do songwriting too, so if you wanted any help with anything/another POV on lyrics, etc, feel free to drop me an email. *fingerguns*

@alia @ariel-ashira Are either of you still here?

@ariel-ashira, I wish I had time to do that. sadly my self imposed deadline for my book is coming up, and I have to write a speech for my mom

@alia I am on, but I am not writing.  I am actually watching all the videos that Josiah and Daniel made.  Im about to die of laughter!!!

@rochellaine, @ariel-ashira, y’all on?

@daughteroftheking Those are great prompts!  Thanks for bringing this topic back.  It was so much fun!

Here’s one I thought of today:

“But why would he want to kill me?”
“I don’t know why he will do it, and I don’t know how he will do it. All I know is that in the end, you will be dead.”

@jenwriter17   I love music, but I am not a songwriter and I don’t play an instrument so I don’t have much advice.

I hope all of your songwriting goes well though! 🙂

One tip: try to match the mood of the tune with the mood of the words to as fine a degree as possible.

@ariel-ashira When you get a chance you should look it up on YouTube. 🙂  It’s What a Comforting Thing to Know from The Slipper and the Rose.  One of my favorite musical songs ever…but then, I’ve got quite a lot of those! 😛

By the way, I’m revising the last section I showed you of my western where Chara wakes up.  You told me you might have…[Read more]

@rochellaine No I never heard it before.  Good morning!

@ariel-ashira Good morning!

Oh, do you know it?

@rochellaine That song is hilarious! 😀

@seekjustice Yup, it’s basically just a comical word. 🙂  Oh yeah, Newsies is American.  Okay. 😛

Great!

Yes!  It’s an amazing musical, made in 1976, so it’s old enough for me, but the style is modern enough that I think you’d like it.  The twist on the Cinderella story in this one is that after the prince tries on the slipper and finds the girl…[Read more]

@rochellaine Nope. the only time I’ve heard that word is in Newsies, but it is a fun word. Though I think it’s slightly too comical for the situation 😀

Actually, I like the term “swells”, it is a bit old-fashioned, but I think it works with the more slang way of speaking the lower class would have. It’s also the term Enjolras uses to describe…[Read more]

@seekjustice Do you use the phrase “highfalutin” in Australia? 😛  Just wondering.  That probably wouldn’t work in the scenario you describe.

In America the upperclass are called “the One Percenters” but…that’s kind of a political thing, and actually the One Percent are usually the more conservative capitalists, so they’re really not the “bad g…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Cool, okay. 😀

Well, point one, I’m trying to think of a term I could use instead of the word “Aristocrat”, something which conveys a similar meaning, and that the revolutionaries could use contemptuously.

Secondly, could I ask you some questions about my novel?

@seekjustice Okay, I’m up for a little bit longer.  (My mom asked us to go to sleep a little earlier tonight since we’ve got a lot of stuff to do tomorrow.)  I’m not usually here on Sundays even just for discussions, but I’ve got something I need to do on the computer anyway, so might as well, right? 😀  So, here I am…

What do you want to discuss? 😉
