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]

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

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. 😀

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]

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]

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. 😛

Is there anyone around?

@rochellaine Yep. That’s where it’s from.
It’s pretty interesting and quite well-written, but kind of bizarre and hard to understand. I haven’t been studying it hard enough to write a good analytic essay about it. XP
Eh, long-story poems aren’t my favorite thing in the world, but they’re cool.

Joy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #20 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
Well, I disappeared. . .
What’s the essay topic?
@rochellaine It’s a literary analysis essay on Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which I still need to study. XP
I think what was funny was at the time I found it I’d just been having a long discussion about MBTI with you, so the difference was startling.
Ha, I see. . . Yes, things have definitely chan…[Read more]

No I have not heard of it.

@rochellaine I’m theoretically writing an essay, but I’ve been getting quite distracted. . .  -_-
*squints*  And do tell, what’s so funny about it? I’ve changed, that’s all, if that’s what you mean. 😛

Joy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #20 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
@rochellaine Aye, I’m here. Barely got anything done though. 😛
Soooo, anything new with you?

Canberra, the unknown capital of Australia. 😛

Oh by the way something really funny happened during work earlier this week. We received a correspondence from Canberra and I spent the longest time wondering where in the world was Canberra before I asked a colleague who told me that Canberra is in Australia. Then I remembered that you live near Canberra and felt really bad for…[Read more]

Haha how do you know that cute = fun for me?
Well, to be honest, even the cute scenes are hard to write sometimes. They never seem to turn out as cute as I imagined them to be in my head.

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #20 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
Yep. Same WIP. Again struggling through the not-so-fun scenes.

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #20 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
Really tired after a week of work. I’m going for service later and hoping I could get some writing done before that.
