@ariel-ashira Well, this isn’t really something I think about a whole lot because I tend to have a good grip on my characters so I just always do what feels right for them and it pretty much turns out. I guess though personally, if I had a brother I thought was dead show up alive I would probably rush him and hug him.

just saying, still here

@Jenwriter17 pretty much just throwing in all the subplots and more try-fail sequences will fill out your plot a lot more.

@seekjustice, @rochellaine,

I don’t know if anyone is on, but I’m here

@alia @bekreations  *beam*  Thanks for bringin’ this back, guys!  I don’t know what to add, but…  🙂  *thumbs up*

@ariella-newheart  Why thank you.  🙂  And I love your version of Aspen!!!

@ariella-newheart Thanks! I’ll try it out.

@ariella-newheart Thanks! Yes, they are. The middle is Smaug and Bilbo… Bilbo with a katana, anyways. (Don’t ask me. It just happened.)

@bekreations, you brought it back! yay

“Woah, woah, slow down,” the man says, as he strides over to me.  I glare at him.

“My name is Brek.  This bag carries machine that, although it looks like a glowing rock, it is incredibly dangerous.”  Brek pauses.  “As for your friends, they are individually separated into rooms such as yours…”  Boom…[Read more]

@jenwriter17, sadly I don’t know. I try to write a short story and it becomes a series…

@jenwriter17 Yeah, what Kate said is huge. If you have part 2 of my Show Don’t Tell Course, I have a whole lesson on live scenes there, but basically a live scene is the literary version of a camera taking in everything that’s happening in a scene. No time is skipped. An overview is like when someone tells you what happened at their birthday…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Good night! 😀

@rochellaine

All right, I’ll go with Adelaide, and she’ll come up with some nickname for herself. And Ladle…it’s still making me giggle now 😀

Yes, I’ve definitely done that with character names too. And real people  as well, on occasions.

@rochellaine

True 🙂 I’ve actually never thought about Aaron and Erin being said the same though. But they are, aren’t they?

Ladle??? That made me laugh out loud 😀 I like Day or Dae though, and I can see Quillon calling her Ladle though, and she’d have some silly name for him as well.

@rochellaine

what about…

Florence Quillon

Adeline Quillon

Violet Quillon

Harriet Quillon

Charlotte Quillon

Flora Quillon

@rochellaine

Hmm, actually, I think that Francis is a boy’s name and technically Frances, is a girl’s name. I like Narcissa, but I don’t think it really matches her personality, since I automatically think of Narcissus. Penelope isn’t bad though.

Adelaide is growing on me, though I’m thinking she might need a nickname like Quillon 😀

@rochellaine

True… Mr and Mrs Quillon were lower middle-class and worked as undertakers, if that helps.  My sister suggested Francis and Angelica. What about Adelaide? It struck me earlier that the name Augustine is pretty grandiose, but it also brings to mind very traditional Anglicans or Catholics, at least to my mind.

@rochellaine

Oh, really? That’s what I wanted to do for a long time. I don’t know if its what I want to do/what God’s calling me to do anymore, but I still love planes 😀 A lot.

I don’t particularly like the name Tabitha, but it does have good connotations for me, since there’s the really cool Tabitha/Dorcas in the Bible and I knew a girl called…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Proabably a lot more than most people. 😀 I’ve even had a few lessons.

Poor Uncle Bill! Send him my love *blows kisses and hugs at Uncle Bill*

By the way, what do you think Quillon’s sister might be named? I’m thinking at the moment of Tabitha Quillon, but what do you think?

@rochellaine

They definitely would have been able to see each other much better then, because yeah, they weren’t really enclosed. I’m also trying not to overload the story with pilot jargon, and that’s kind of hard.

That’s good. Are Chara and Uncle Bill out of hospital yet?
