@dekreel Yeah. I’m gonna try to do some more writing on it either this month or November. 😐 Darn school for always getting in the way of precious writing time with nasty homework! 😉

Done for now. . .

@jenwriter17  @seekjustice  @rochellaine  @valtmy  @alia  @xonos-darkgrate  @ariel-ashira  @catwing

Yo, peeps! I’m writing. Ish. . .

SeekJustice — That writer’s block meme is hilarious.

@jenwriter17  . . . That would be “Darkgrate.” Don’t worry, I used to spell it wrong, too. 😉

@xonos-darkgrate  Jen says “hi.”

You know @dekreel don’t you?

To answer your question, @rochellaine, since Xonos obviously missed it, yes, we know each other on another forum. (Although I think we met each other on Kingdom Pen once or twice beforehand. . .)

@seekjustice

Ah, that’s the self-criticism talking, isn’t it?

FYI: My WIP is about a queen that falls from grace and goes into hiding… and does that by hiding in plain sight as a rising star in the local theatre scene and waging a propaganda war with her enemies. Ridiculous, yes, but I suppose whether it is lame or not is a matter of preference. 😛

@seekjustice

Ah, well. For me, I will never get anything done if I sit down to do careful planning and plotting (e.g. I have planned out quite a few things for my adventure/fantasy story and written about 7 chapters but it’ll take forever to plan out the rest because it’s quite the sweeping epic). The trouble is in getting myself to actually…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Well, maybe I’m just being too critical of myself. All part of being a writer. Once I get the scenes done, I’ll post them for review to see what you guys think.

But for now I am stuck with these problematic scenes. It is not about me having trouble resisting the urge to edit but more that I haven’t planned everything in my plot out…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Goodnight.

@seekjustice

I think I’ve told you this before. The scenes that were cute in my head don’t seem to turn out as cute when I write them. 🙁

@rochellaine

Cool. I’ll check it out when I have time.

@seekjustice

Haha. Unfortunately, I don’t think any of the heroes in my adventure/fantasy story are in a position to be inflicted with asthma (this has to do why they are immune to the magic plague as well) and/or having asthma does not fit with their characterisation (one of them is a…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Haha that does sound funny though I doubt the opera music will do it for me. I don’t suppose there’s anywhere I can watch it?

@rochellaine

Nope I have not.

@seekjustice

Haha. I am a sadistic writer in my own way. I’m all for anything that can kill the delusional power fantasy that is rampant in adventure/fantasy stories. I mean, how many stories have you read that have badass mages and warriors catching the sniffles (not dealing with romanticised injuries they got in some glorious battle)?

Ooh you…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hi. Feels like I haven’t talked to you for ages. 😛

@seekjustice

Good?! Given how much you torture your characters, I would have thought that you would have liked it if I made it a gloriously depressing storyline. 😛

By the way, I read your blog post about your story for Nanowrimo! The wattle blossoms remind me of the canola flower fields in Jeju in Korea. 😀

@seekjustice

Oh, yes. The people I’ve talked to who are in the medical community are all very concerned about the possibility of a global flu outbreak especially given how interconnected the world is now. Great reminder of how we are only living by God’s grace, right?

Haha that storyline is actually only one of the plot threads in the story. The…[Read more]

@seekjustice

And to think I thought I was cruel when it comes to killing my characters. 😛

From what I read about the Spanish flu, an unusual thing about it is that a young and healthy person is more likely to die from it if they get infected (something to do with the overreaction of the immune system). So I found it to be very fitting for my…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Hi! Haha are you sure you won’t use it to torture your characters someday?

One of my story ideas involve unleashing a magical equivalent of the Spanish flu in an empire so you may never know. 😛

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @dekreel

Is there anyone around?
