@seekjustice I love research!  But since I think it will take an extremely long time to research for this project and I really want to write it now, I’m going to do the research later.  I know the culture very well, since it’s very similar to my dad’s culture, and I’ve compared and contrasted the cultures a lot, and that’s what I need most for t…[Read more]

@valtmy I’m glad you like it!  Ohhh…much more trouble! 😛  You won’t believe what happens in the next couple of paragraphs.  I mean, for a normal author, yeah, but for a character-coddler like me, my poor little girl is breaking my heart!

Bathshua is a mouthful to say, but not as much for me…as you say your heroine’s name is from your cu…[Read more]

@valtmy Yeah, totally fine.  😛 Different cultures.  Anyway, the word people usually would use in polite company here would be the milder form with the same meaning which starts with “c”.  As you can see, I don’t even use that one, but I have a few friends who do, and it’s totally not considered bad, like the other one is. 😉

@seekjustice Si…[Read more]

@valtmy Sure, you can read it.  I’ll give you the link to the opening, which is what I showed SeekJustice.  It’s purely unedited, and I don’t want comments right now, other than stuff like “that sounds interesting” or “that’s a kinda weird idea.” 😛  An…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hi!  I’m falling asleep, so I probably won’t be on much longer.  Terrible for my poor heroine, though, since she’s stuck in a horrible situation, and since I’m not used to writing horrible situations I can’t get her out of it… 😮 😛

Ah yes, I remember.  The musical that’s in German.

I have a pen from China with an origami crane on…[Read more]

@valtmy Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.  I’m talking about Bathshua from Daughter of Judas, so she’s nearly the same age as your MC, perhaps a little older, but I think she would definitely look down on your character as stupid and annoying. 😛  However, right now she’s in a tough place where she’d be thankful for any kindness, and your c…[Read more]

@valtmy My MC is in a pit of despair as well. 🙁  Guess they can be in a pit of despair together.  Do you think they would commiserate well?

@valtmy Hey, how’s it going?

Hey, I’m back.

@seekjustice What musical is that?

@valtmy You still around?

@seekjustice Cool, let me know if you do. 😀  Oh, you’ve probably heard of Russ Tamblyn because he plays the absolutely adorable youngest brother, Gideon, in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, which is the movie nearly everyone here has seen but you, and everyone loves to talk about, but which you probably wouldn’t like because no one dies in it.…[Read more]

@valtmy

Glad to hear you’re still loyal 😉 *wipes proud tear*

I hope your new job goes well (and your book too 😀 ). We looked forward to any time you’re able to come on the Writers’ Corner. 🙂

@seekjustice It’s “Gee Officer Krupke” from West Side Story.  West Side Story is a Romeo and Juliet retelling set among the New York street gangs during the 60s.  So the boys in the song have New York accents, like the Newsies, and the song is complaining about the adult authority figures, like Newsies.  It’s a bit different though.  Hope you lik…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh my goodness!  I was just watching a song clip (that we’ve seen before) with my sister and laughing over it with her, but it really reminded me of Newsies!  Since you love Newsies so much, I think there’s a chance you might like it. 😉  Are you able to watch YouTube today?

@seekjustice @valtmy I have returned! 😀

@seekjustice Ok, tag me. 🙂

@alia Didn’t see this until now.  I’ll be praying for you!

@alia so sorry to hear that! I wish I could hug you right now. <3 I promise i’ll be praying for you!

@alia Well, I got 346 words, but I’m afraid I’ll have to delete a lot of them.  I was definitely not on a roll, and am very unhappy with what I wrote. 🙁

Oh well, see you later!

@seekjustice @valtmy Are either of you ready to be on yet?

@alia Well you see, I am able to morph into many forms. A steampunk horse, a cute blue car, whatever pleases me. So don’t be surprised if my profile pic changes frequently. 😛

@alia Sorry, my email isn’t working so I’m not getting quick updates.  Fifteen minutes it is!
