@seekjustice Hm, I guess they don’t want people cheating if they get near the end and see that they can’t make their goals.
Ah, I see. 😛
Great!! I can’t wait to read them. I have one more planned right now, but don’t know when I’ll get around to writing it. 😉 Maybe sometime when I need a break from my western.

Yep, I’m editing now 😀
I’ve only got an hour and a half so far (I tried to lower my goal but it wouldn’t let me for some reason???) but hopefully I’ll get some time tonight after I’ve done school, editing and first aid.
My editing is going slower than is normal, but I think I’m dragging my heels because I have less than 10k before…[Read more]

@seekjustice Aaand, that took longer than I expected. But I’m back now! How about you? Finish your lunch?
I haven’t done enough to really say Camp is going well, but I think I’ll be rolling in the next few days. 🙂
How about you? How is your editing going? And are you doing any more fanfics? (which shouldn’t actually be called fanfics beca…[Read more]

Um, it’s going…better? I think? 😛 Still slow, but I am back in the storyline. I mean, I’ve gotten my head back into the story, where it was out since I’d been not writing for a while. So that’s good.
I’m actually going to step out for about half an hour, so maybe you can eat lunch and then we’ll get back in a bit?

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Actually, I changed my mind and I’ll be here until my lunch cooks 😀 How’s the western going?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice Ok, just tag me when you get back.

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
I mean just going for lunch, but I’ll be around in about 20min.

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice Are you around? I’m going to try to make some progress on my western. 🙂

@Alia I’m just moving here ’cause I don’t wanna sabotage the Writer’s Corner…
Yay that you love the song!
Eh, extra time is ever elusive. I guess that’s better than not having anything to post though. ;P How long have you been a blogger, and how long have you had that blog up?

@dekreel Hey, I believe that you asked a while ago if I’d like to be in a KP story? I didn’t see it until recently, sorry 🙁 Yes, I would love to, if you decide to write one one day! 🙂

@valtmy *chuckles nervously* um, yeah. She actually hasn’t been up to much. That’s the problem. 😛 But I’ll work on it. 😀
Okay, that’s what I thought. Now, follow up question: What’s your definition of parody? Not the dictionary definition, but what do you think when you hear the word “parody?”
-
Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@valtmy Wow, haha. 😛 I’m not sure what that means but I think you’re saying I need to update soon. 😛
I have a question. Your book is supposed to be a romance parody, right? Or did I get that mixed up with something else? During my semi-break I kind of lost focus on everyone’s WIPs but SeekJustice’s, so sorry if I’m remembering wrong.

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@valtmy I didn’t mean I had that attitude yet, just that I need to have that attitude. 😛
And I was just thinking, I never ended up commenting on your first chapters, did I? 😮

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@valtmy I think I have a section almost ready for beta reading too, I just have to accept that it’s not going to be perfect the first time around and that’s why I’m putting it up for you all to read… 😉

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@rochellaine @valtmy I’m “here”, but we’ll probably be leaving for town soonish. I’ll be able to chat though one I’m at the library.
Angst is so fun though. Sometimes. Sometimes it isn’t.

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@valtmy Same here. 🙂
“Angst is not very fun to write” Hm, maybe you should talk to @seekjustice 😛 She seems to handle it pretty well…

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice @valtmy I’m on now. Are either of you working on anything?
-
Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@seekjustice Are you going to be around in a little while? Right now we have a few guests and the girls are chatting in the girls’ room, but we should be going to bed in a bit and I’ll write then.

@emma-flournoy plus moving here makes it easier to keep track of what on earth the conversation is about
Have you ever listened to Where Were You by Francesca Battistelie?
I think I started my writing blog about a year and a half ago. Broken journey was at the end of May.
Do you have a blog? Or does that fall under you not being a writer?
Quite.
I haven’t, but I will now.
I don’t have a blog, but not because I’m not a writer. I think it’d be fun (and educational, and hopefully useful to others) to blog, I just don’t have time. If I had one, it would probably be a mish-mash of book and movie rantings, telling people to go read Kate’s books, music stuff, general life/spiritual…[Read more]
@Alia
@emma-flournoy, hey, sorry for not getting back to you til now, this past week has been a bit crazy at my house.
thats the thing I like about my blog is that I can post something whenever I have time.
your idea for what you blog would be sounds like something I would read all the time
Nope, I live in the States. It seems as though I get asked…[Read more]
That’s fine, and totally no pressure, I just wanted to make sure you’d seen it. I’ve found that the notification system isn’t entirely reliable sometimes. ;P
Yaaay for flexibility.
Oh, well that’s an encouraging thought. ;D
Huh. I wonder why I thought that.
So your life’s been crazy, eh? Mine too. Seems a generally recurring theme the older I…[Read more]
@emma-flournoy,
I wonder, could the reason that our lives keep getting busier as we get older be at all related to the fact that older people have more responsibility? Mind-blown
It’s strange, I watch my little sisters act as though the day is so long and I’m over here thinking that there isn’t enough time in the day to actually get anything…[Read more]
I know, really. O.o Such shocking revelations.
Precisely that. And in that I fervently hope and pray they relish it while they can, ’cause it sure as sartin’ ain’t gonna last forever.
That makes a lot of sense. I read my Bible early in the morning before the day really starts, but I think a here-and-there throughout the day would be good to add…[Read more]
@emma-flournoy
My mom printed of a ton of bible verses a few years ago and she puts them all over the house. So thats one way that I am able to read scripture all day
Oh yeah, that’s awesome. We do have a lot of that too; sometimes I’m so used to them I don’t really stop and read them anymore, so that could well be a problem. What’s your favorite passage or section? It’s nigh on impossible to choose, I know, and that’s an impossible question, so just, what’s one of your favorites. ;P
Thats the downside of having them up all the time, but my mom changes them every now and then so that keeps me looking at them some times.
One that I often turn to is Psalm 71:1-6
In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
turn your ear to me and save me.
Be my rock…[Read more]
That’s a great one. One I find helpful is Ecclesiastes 3:1-15.
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
2 A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
3 A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
4 A time to weep,
And a time to…[Read more]
