The fledgling Artist

@seekjustice @valtmy My post saying I am here vanished…

Seekjustice I am enjoying your book, but was sick and then busy. I will try and finish before the end of the month though.

@jenwriter17 bye
@ariel-ashira I’m here

@jenwriter17 I’m in Erekdale.
I’m excited too. 😀
Fun!

@alia I am so sorry…*takes drink*…that you won’t be on right now…*slurps*…but this tea is just what I needed!

@jenwriter17 Actually, its not hard for me to research without being sidetracked if I am into it, but its those times in between when I pause researching and am like, “what should I look up next?  Oh, Pinterest!”

@jenwriter17 Great!  Me too.  I am researching (and getting sidetracked by Pinterest when I really feel like it). 😉

@jenwriter17 Hurrah!  Writer’s Corner #20!  *cheers and throws feathers before @catwing gets a chance*

Hey, sorry for dropping out on you without warning earlier.  My Mom came in suddenly and needed the tablet, so I had to go.  You still around?

@jenwriter17 Brainstorming for the guild war and working on my short story for the writer’s conference. You working on anything?

@rochellaine @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira @dekreel @alia I’m here catching up on somethings and then writing. 🙂

@jenwriter17 I am on for a little bit.  Whatcha up to?

@seekjustice Well, I don’t base all my characters on real people.  Just some of them.  But I do learn about character traits and behaviors from studying real people.  And I’ve always been sure every other writer does as well. 😉

@seekjustice

Hahaha!! 😛

I always think disclaimers that say “none of the characters are based on any real people” are ridiculous, because I totally base my characters on real people.

How else do you write realistic characters?? 😛

I wonder if it’s like the copyright laws, like, if you change ten percent of them they don’t count as based on…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Oh no, they can’t! 😛

Of course he didn’t.  Sweet little Curt.  Poor little Curt. 😀

Have you ever been on the TV Tropes website?  It’s hilarious.

@seekjustice

Not a chance!! 😮  I shall protect my characters! (but if the mean characters hurt them, that’s not necessarily my fault. 😉 )

😛 Ah, don’t worry.  I completely understand! 😀  I used to be extremely melodramatic in my writing, so a lot of my old bits contain characters who gasp and shriek or sob every few sentences.  It’s act…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Haha!  At least we know she’ll survive, right? 🙂

A character so completely perfect that I cringe now.

…in other words, Quillon? 😉 😛

@seekjustice

Bathshua is doing okay, the darling.  I got some good planning in over the past couple of days, and now have a clearer picture of how to get her where she needs to be.  But in order for that to happen she’s going to have to go through a lot. 🙁

Right now I’m working on a secret writing project, but I’ll get back to Daughter of J…[Read more]

@seekjustice I see. 🙂

Ah yes, I remember. 😀

Are you on now, or still celebrating your birthday?  (It’s technically “afternoon” for you, right?  But you didn’t say you would be on, only that you’d possibly be on.)

@seekjustice Wow, that’s cool!!  You’ve seen a bit of it on YouTube, right? (I think you said you skipped to the end.)  The guy who plays Sydney Carton (Dirk Bogarde) is one of my favorite actors.

So you have it on DVD now?

@seekjustice Happy birthday!
Glad you found it. 🙂

@seekjustice It’s your birthday?!!  Happy birthday!!!!  You’re turning eighteen, right?

@rochellaine @ariel-ashira I’m here for a little bit. A short story thing popped up today and the deadline is the 10th. (I don’t have to do it, but the deadline was extended, so I’m thinking of a story idea to fit.)
I was sick for a few days. That’s why I was gone. 🙁
But I’m better now.
