The fledgling Artist

Yippee!!  Third edit and the gif finally worked. 😛

@jenwriter17 Yes! He’s not my favorite either, but @seekjustice actually said “no one likes Kendall,” so I had to protest. I don’t like him best, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like him at all.

Thank you for your support! 😛

Oh, and have you read any of the second draft yet?

@dekreel I know!
And when Walmart has their back to school sale, “These spiral bound only 25 cents, a few years ago they used to be 18 cents though. And those other bound books are only 50 cents… But I will not buy them. I have enough. Besides they aren’t that pretty.” Continues looking at all the pencils, books, and school supplies. “Oh, look…[Read more]

@seekjustice Aw, too much like a cowboy?  All because of the hat, I’m sure.  Try these:

Or Clint Eastwood’s son, Scott Eastwood, with a black leather jacket just like Justice?

Why thank you!  But you still aren’t going to use any of them, are you? 😛 Nope, didn’t think so.  Maybe I should write an AU and save Zac myself, since you won’t. 😉

@seekjustice and @seekjustice‘s sister but you gotta be impressed with how many plot twists I came up with that Zac could be rescued in without Justice being killed in his place!  Right?  I was carefully keeping Justice out of it. 😉

@seekjustice Here are my ideas for plot twists.

Stasya could rescue Zac because he is big and strong and could just smash everyone that gets in their way as they’re escaping.

Sean Darcy could have a change of heart (brought on by Zac’s sacrifice) and tell everyone Zac isn’t Justice.

Jean could get all his gold that he kept in his mansion away…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh my goodness!  I’m so sorry. 😛  I actually meant Clint Eastwood, in reference to the pictures I was talking about with you earlier.  However, I’ve never seen a single Clint Eastwood film, and I’m not sure that I’ve even seen any clips of him acting, so I only know him by sight, really.  I constantly get his name mixed up with sev…[Read more]

@seekjustice‘s sister

Forgive me! 😛  Anyway, if Justice had died instead of Zac I’d probably like him way better than Zac.  It’s this thing where I always go for the guy who doesn’t get the girl.  I want Zac to get Chessy because she loves Justice, but if she loved Zac instead I’d want her with Justice, because I’d feel bad for Justice. That pr…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha. 😛  Don’t worry, I like Quillon too.  I just never feel the need to stand up for him since you adore him so much already.

@catwing Yay!! A second vote for Kendall!! (Yes, that face thing is cute. 😛 )

@jenwriter17 Um, when you get a chance, could you come over here and cast your vote?  For my side?  Please??  @seekjustice says no one cares for Kendall!  How could she say such a cruel thing?  I care for Kendall.  Don’t you?  (If you don’t, go back and read Waif’s…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, so does Justice, so, come on. 😛  And Chessy, like, for the first half of the book she is purposefully disobeying her father!  That may not seem as bad as Kendall’s lifestyle, but I would say, remember that Honor your Parents is in the Ten Commandments, while Keep from being a Drunkard is not. 😮 Okay that’s not really a great a…[Read more]

@rochellaine Thanks!
Yes, ditto on that.

@Seekjustice I can not submit my opinion on that matter because I have not read your book yet. *totally innocent grin* But I am sure whoever-character-who’s-name-I-forgot-because-he-died-so-who-could-that-be-it’s-not-like-you-kill-lots-of-your-characters is they are/will be a very nice character. ^.^…[Read more]

@catwing 😛

Oh, oh, oh!!!!  hahahaha!!!!  I love them!!  Thanks so much!  I especially like the “step into the water and get electrocuted” one. 😉

@seekjustice That was the biggest and most obvious instance.  I think there were a few other times when he seemed a little too soft, but I’ll have to go back through and read it again.  For the most part it’s all good.

I LIKE KENDALL!!!!!!!  How can you say no one likes Kendall?  Anyway, even Justice cares about him, as we established when Jus…[Read more]

@rochellaine I wasn’t worried about you. I don’t know why I was fixing them. *shrug* Let’s see…
#1 If you were to go swimming and someone dressed up like a shark swallowed you. Use ketchup. Or cornstarch mixed with food coloring.
#2 Parachute a dummy dressed as you but have the parachute faulty and so you fall into the ocean/ravine. Or the…[Read more]

@catwing Well, by all means!  Please give me your ideas!  One condition, make them as absurd as possible, and they aren’t supposed to work in real life.  That’s the entire point! 😛

Yes, I know the papers would burn, and I know that doctors would not be that incompetent in real life.  These faking death sequences are supposed to be in the ima…[Read more]

@rochellaine *clears throat* *raises eyebrow* Have you been faking deaths without me? Me, the person with crazy theories. The person who when watching BBC’s new Sherlock series thought up how Moriarty could have faked his death, even though he died by shooting himself in the head. The person who when eating cherries wonders if they could make a…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😛

Yes, I agree.  Your characters are the most important parts of your book.  My biggest issue in the second draft was with Justice’s character, remember? 😉  And actually the Rain thing is specifically about her character.  I feel like now that she’s “in love” with Justice instead of having a flirty kind of crush on Kendall she is…[Read more]

@seekjustice And thanks for not being offended. 😀  I know how hard it is to write, and I know how hard it is to have people say they don’t like something you’ve written, so I’m always worried when I say I dislike something about your writing, especially since for the most part I absolutely adore everything you write, so I don’t want you to get…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m sorry! 😛

I’ve started part 4, and I do agree that Caderousse makes a bit more sense here than she did in the first draft.

The biggest thing I am worried about is that I think you are an amazing writer, but I am afraid that if your book is too similar to Les Mis people will not realize what a good writer you are, but will simply…[Read more]
