I’ll write a bit! I’m not up for a word war, though. 😛 (And no, I’m not doing NaNo.)

I recall reading some article somewhere about sentences which make sense in context but sound really weird/hilarious/nonsensical/criminal when they are just put out there by itself. That’s the sort of thing that happens when we put out the last sentence of our word wars 😛

Hi, like I told @rochellaine I’ll be going out for a while so I won’t be able to word war but I will be able to chat if you want.

The sentence stated that she felt regret, not pity. @seekjustice has read Part 2 so she would know who Hyunjoo is so the sentence might make more sense to her. Not that either of you would be able to really tell what’s going on. These kinds of sentences only make sense in context. 😛
But yes, I’ll be worried if Myeongwol has gotten…[Read more]

A little, I guess. 🙂 But I’ll be going off for brunch in a bit. I will be able to talk to you still on this forum but I won’t be doing any more writing until afternoon.
Hahaha… Hyunjoo is the name of one of my characters. 😛

I have 244.
She heard the sleeping Hyunjoo whimpering below and could not help the sickening swell of regret that bloomed in her chest.

All right. 15 minutes?

Chores remain the same no matter what part of the world we are. 😛 Well, my laundry is all nicely hung now so let me know when you return.

Ah, yes. For my own characters, I usually choose their names based on the meaning and what is fitting (unless I really, really can’t think of anything in particular and go with something that just sounds nice). I had a blast researching the meaning of different Korean names.
Well, Myeongwol is still miserable as well so don’t worry…[Read more]

Hi! Oh, it’s been a while since I last heard about Bathshua (that is still her name right? Because I thought you were thinking of changing it). How’s she doing? Still miserable?
Haha the concern you and @seekjustice have for what Myeongwol is up to is really cute. That sentence really had unfortunate implications, didn’t it? 😛 But…[Read more]

I won’t be on today but will likely be tomorrow since there’ll be a day off. 😀
Just dropping by to clarify: No, of course Courageous won’t be whipping anyone into shape. I meant that Juqing could probably whip Courageous’ court into shape. That or just replace them all.
A happy ending? Oh dear, is that a spoiler? 😛

Yeah, well, it’s just 3 chapters. Though I have written 7 chapters for ROF, I posted only the first 3. But, really, there was a difference in the writing? I thought my writing for QOD was similar to this. Maybe I’ve improved? 😛
Well, but it’s not as though courtly love is an actual force that governs the universe, right? So he…[Read more]

Haha so what did you think of this old draft of mine?
Courageous court? What is that?
If Courageous would run away to Antarctica, wouldn’t that mean that he definitely wouldn’t like Juqing?

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 2 months ago
All right then, let me know whether Courageous would be bullied by Shu Juqing, specifically, and whether he would actually like to have him as a brother. Or to have the Emperor as a father. 😛

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 2 months ago
All right here’s the thread. As I said, please note that I have changed the story and the background of the characters since but this old draft should give you a rough idea.
Let me know whether Courageous would or wouldn’t be bullied horribly if they were brothers. 😛

Didn’t Les Mis have, like, two time jumps but still manage to be a book you really like? 😛
Time jumps to me are an effective tool to bring out lots of subtext since the reader knows what happens before, what happens after but the middle is a great unknown which they can fill up using their own imagination. Of course, that is…[Read more]

You can’t have finished reading QOD because QOD is not even finished yet. 😛 But in general, what do you think?
Haha hoped I did not distract you too much from your NaNo. How’s that going? 🙂

Mayhaps you really are a time traveller. According to these posts, you’ve answered my question before I even asked it.
Ah, yes, I think my writing style is very strange. In fact, I think a lot of things about me as a writer are strange. I am puzzled by a lot of the ideas I come up with sometimes and have to ask myself, “Is this…[Read more]
