@seekjustice Happy Birthday!  How old are you now?

@seekjustice Who’s birthday is it?

@seekjustice Bye.
@jenwriter17 😀 Bye.
@valtmy hello.

@seekjustice Have fun.
I hope so.
@jenwriter17 Rain.

@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.)
