@seekjustice *pats your head awkwardly* 😛
@rochellaine HIS-FIC!! *overly enthusiastic high five*
Anyway, I’m off. Happy writing, guys!

@seekjustice Oh, whoops.  I meant twentieth century fiction, not just stuff from 1900-1909. 😛  But I guess I am mostly talking about stuff from about 1900-1950.

Haha, I would hope not. 😀 So Zac is alive.  You know what?  I’m still excited about that.

some sort of melodramatic gothic romance heroine

Oh right.  You like Northanger Abbey. :P…[Read more]

*reads above posts*

…am I the only Kapeefer who is not on SE now? 😮

@daughteroftheking I wouldn’t necessarily use the word “realistic” in describing them.  I’d probably say “sensationalistic” and “melodramatic.”  You didn’t miss much. 😛

There is no better genre than his-fic, though.  None.

@seekjustice I agree, they were both wrong about a lot of things.

I’ve heard/read many references to Elsie Dinsmore in 19…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha! I would be the same, except my story concepts are usually so ridiculous, they seem best as kid’s books.

@rochellaine Oops. My attempts to tag have been thwarted by misspelling. Let me try that again.

@seekjustice *lights dim* Yes… join the children’s writers side… *ominous laughter* … *clears throat* *lights come back on* Sorry, uh, don’t know what that was about. *acts casual*

@rochelaine Hey there! I’ve never read those books, but I don’t think I would have liked them. I wasn’t big on realistic books and didn’t really get into h…[Read more]

@seekjustice Frankly, I would be extremely wary of reading any books you wrote to little kids. 😉

@seekjustice Thankfully my mom didn’t waste her money on the full set. 😛

The one thing I disagree with about the article is the part where it says Elsie has no right to think for herself against her father.  I do think eight-year-olds are often mature enough to read the Bible for themselves and come to their own conclusions, and I like what her…[Read more]

@seekjustice Ugg, that sounds quite tedious. Since my target audience is kids/ middle grade, I hope I’ll never have to get too intense. *inconspicuously doesn’t mention all the potentially fighty-er plot bunnies circling my brain*

@seekjustice Thank you. 🙂 Thankfully, this one should be over quickly. 😛

@seekjustice I have read the first three Elsie Dinsmore books.  I read the first two when I was very young and absolutely adored them.  And I reread them, tears streaming down my face every time.  When I came back to them as I grew older and when I read the third book I realized they weren’t what I had remembered.

This article actually sums up a…[Read more]

@seekjustice Heyo! Working on my WIP. I’m trying write a fight scene, which is a… *nervous laugh* challenge. What are you up to?

@Rochellaine @seekjustice *crashes through door* *plunks self down on the floor to write* I have finally got a decent stretch of time to write. Yay! *does a little dance* So hi!

@seekjustice Haha! 😛  That seems rather annoying, to say the least.

It’s, uh, coming along. 😉  It’s in a very different style from anything I’ve written before, so I’ve been researching how to write this style, and trying to decide if it’s worth it, but the idea is so good I’m not giving up that easily.  Hopefully it continues to…come al…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Okay.  Bye!

Anyone else, I’ll be on and off for the next couple of hours, so tag me if you arrive. 🙂

@ariel-ashira A mixture of old stuff from the 50s/60s.  Right now it’s Robert Goulet, a 60s Broadway star.  Ever heard of him?

@ariel-ashira Trying to work on Daughter of Judas and getting distracted listening to music instead. 😀

@ariel-ashira I’m sorry!  I got distracted. 😉

What are you working on? (if you’re even still here…)

Is anyone here yet?  @seekjustice @valtmy @catwing @jenwriter17
