I would be good friends with most of my main characters I think, though the more like me they are, the less I would get along with them :/ Which may be slightly concerning.

However, I definitely would get along very well with the main character of my current novel though. He’s heavily based on my own brother (who may or may not be…[Read more]

Hello there! I’m Chelsea/SeekJustice, and I’m also twenty, so I guess we can be old together 😛

Ooh, Harry Potter! I only just started reading them (I’m finally up to the Half-Blood Prince) because my mum wouldn’t let me read them when I was younger since she was never a fan of how dark the last few books were (she was an adult when…[Read more]

Hello there! I’m Chelsea/SeekJustice, one of the writing interns on the site. I hope  you’ve enjoyed your time here so far!

I see you like musicals? I also very much like musicals. Not to be basic or anything, but Les Miserables is definitely my favourite.

I love your list of books! During my early teens I was obsessed with Warr…[Read more]

In my current WIP? I can imagine being friends with at least two of my characters… possibly six of them. Maybe more. I can think of at least one I wouldn’t be friends with at all. Their personality does not mesh well with mine.

But two of them for sure. I could be best friends with at least one. 🙂

@nova21 And even after seventy years, the shine of the sea still hasn’t changed.

For me it’s character and settings. The character bit is pretty obvious I think, I get invested in the characters and they’re the ones that make me really enjoy the story. But next to that, I really love settings and worlds! It’s an amazing feeling reading a book that really delves into the worldbuilding, whether that be fantasy,…[Read more]

I’m a bit late to the party, but I analysed three pieces altogether, randomly picked from my current WIP and my last WIP. For the two pieces from my current WIP, I got James Joyce (who I’ve never read) and Stephen King (who I’ve also never read, but I’ve seen enough snippets of his to say, yeah fair I guess). and then the snippet from the older…[Read more]

I liked the first book in the space trilogy.  It had some pretty interesting worldbuilding.  I didn’t read the other two.  My older brother told me the third wasn’t good.  I don’t know why I didn’t read the second. 😛

Yes, I just found Only the Brave, a musical about the British gliders preparing for the D-Day invasion, and the Fren…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I haven’t heard of MaryLu Tyndall, but I just looked her up and her books sound fun. 🙂  Have you read any of Rafael Sabatini’s books or seen any of the old 30s swashbuckling movies?

@jenwriter17

I’m doing great. 🙂

Have you read any good books lately?

@gracie-j

Life insurance rules and regulations.  My dad’s a financial planner, and I’m doing some work with the family business.

I’ve been wanting to ask you, what are some of your favorite swashbuckling novels/movies?  (I assume you like the genre since you’re writing about pirates…?) 😛

@gracie-j

Studying, mostly.  Maybe some outlining too.  What about you?

@jenwriter17 Hello!  How are you?

@gracie-j

Hey there!

@gracie-j

Aw, too bad. 🙁

Hopefully tomorrow. 🙂

@gracie-j @jenwriter17

Hey there! 🙂

Are either of you around now?

The Prestige is an awesome movie! I really enjoyed it.

@kathleenramm

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! It’s such a well made movie and I absolutely loved the book as well. But the movie, which I watched about six weeks ago, broke my eighteen month writers block and I started writing a…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice @alia @valtmy @gracie-j @dekreel

Anyone around?

@alia It’s setting the chapter/book up to dramatic and mysterious, so I think as long as you follow through on the promise very quickly, it’s all good!

@kathleenramm

First of all, I completely agree about MacGuffins. They’re not bad, after all, I would argue that LOTR is a reverse-MacGuffin-quest-thing, but they’re often lazy.

Secondly! My worst mistake? I don’t know exactly, but a lot of my early stories and novels suffered from far too many main characters and subplots connected to those…[Read more]
