The fledgling Artist

@seekjustice They do sound really cool.  And pretty crazy.  Any little boy saddled with a name like that these days would be hopelessly bullied. 😮

I will now be departing for the night.  Talk to you later!

@seekjustice I’m seriously considering using Jaron.  However, choosing a name for a character is such an important task I believe I’ll think on it for a bit just to make sure. 😉  Thank you so much!

Yeah, I think both Dalbert and Elbert made me think of Anglo-Saxon names from my old his-fic and history books, so that’s probably why they didn’t s…[Read more]

@seekjustice Jaron and Keir are great!  I like those a lot.  Especially Jaron.  I think I might end up using that!

I’ve actually heard of all those except Casimir, Jaron, Kier, Kele, and Kiel, so I’m interested to hear which ones you thought were weird? 🙂  Casimir is the weirdest in my opinion. 😛 (No offense to any Casimirs who may happen to…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, actually neither. 😛 Addison is still too normal.  It sounds a bit strange, but everyone’s heard of it.  I don’t want an ancient name either, like Adeodatus.  I want a name that sounds normal, but no one has ever heard of it before, like

…okay, I have spent the last fifteen minutes searching for at least one example and I ca…[Read more]

@seekjustice My sister is Selah Chelyah, and she writes primary historical fiction like I do.  She’s two years older than me, and she’s awesome ( except for 2% of the time when I’m sure I could strangle her). 😉

@seekjustice @ariel-ashira I need a name for a character.  He’s the protagonist of one of my writing projects, and it’s set in a contemporary period.  Since he’s the protagonist he needs to have a nice enough sounding name that people won’t be put off by it.  However, it needs to be a very unusual name in order for the plot to work.  The kic…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha.  Well, I’ve heard of people doing that, so I don’t think it’s a completely strange or new idea.  It’s not something I’d do, though. 😉

However, I did once (several years ago) write a list of questions I’d ask a guy who wanted to court me and their required answers.  I went over it again recently and realized how silly it wa…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Ah, thanks. 🙂

@seekjustice 😛

What are you doing now?

@rochellaine Yeah, that makes sense.  My sister is on SE, which is the main reason I go there.

But it seriously is nicer with you around.

@seekjustice I’m back!

The line between helpfulness and obsession…hm. 😛

@ariel-ashira Hello, I’m here now.  One thing I noticed about SE was that it’s a lot like KP used to be. (obviously, because it’s run by the same people…) Basically what I mean is, while like you say, 90% of the people write fantasy and magic, a lot of the discussions…[Read more]

@seekjustice Are you on right now?

@rochellaine What you were saying about SE is true.  Lots, like 90% of everyone, are into the fantasy and magic type of writing.  I find I can’t post or respond to posts much without taking time I don’t have right now to explain myself.  Its not as easy to state your beliefs there.  Plus, its not as fun when I’m not your deputy. 😉

@seekjustice 😉 Okay.  I’ll ignore Pinterest’s ideas of you.

@seekjustice I just went over there and it does look interesting.

I’m going to disappear for probably half an hour or forty-five minutes.  See you later.

@seekjustice Haha!  What’s the blog about?  Never heard of it.

@seekjustice Hello!  Whatcha workin’ on?

@seekjustice Thanks. 🙂 I’ll be thinking about joining SE.  I think the discussions there would probably be useful.  In fact, I was just reading one about a question I had recently.  Did you see the topic about whether a villain is necessary?  I have a couple stories which don’t contain a specific villain, but only an antagonistic situation, or…[Read more]

@seekjustice Thinking back, though, I think I’ve managed to have only quite short and reasonable discussions about magic on KP, so I might be able to get along.  I don’t remember getting into any really long serious discussions on the forums.  All the long discussions I can remember were rants and jokes about things most of us agreed on.

@seekjustice Yeah, I was just on Story Embers reading some of the threads.  It looks like a lot of fun.  And I guess it isn’t really all that much bigger than KP used to be.  At least it doesn’t seem so.

The biggest problem other than the actual size of the place is the fact that most of the people there seem to be into fantasy and magic, wh…[Read more]

@seekjustice That is quite interesting.  I think I can count on one hand the number of males I have conversed with on KP.  Let’s see…Daeus, Sam, Ben, Leumeister…yup!  That’s all I can think of.  Oh, and Josiah, of course.  But that’s still on only one hand! 😛

Oh really?  I would be very interested in reading a story of yours that didn’…[Read more]
