True… Mr and Mrs Quillon were lower middle-class and worked as undertakers, if that helps. My sister suggested Francis and Angelica. What about Adelaide? It struck me earlier that the name Augustine is pretty grandiose, but it also brings to mind very traditional Anglicans or Catholics, at least to my mind.

@seekjustice Yes, I knew a girl named Tabitha too, and she was nice. I just don’t happen to like the name. But it’s just my preference.
I do like those better, but…what station were Mr. and Mrs. Quillon? Augustine sounds pretty grandiose, while Tabitha, Abigail, and Bethany all sound like calico and sunbonnets. Augustine sounds more lik…[Read more]

Oh, really? That’s what I wanted to do for a long time. I don’t know if its what I want to do/what God’s calling me to do anymore, but I still love planes 😀 A lot.
I don’t particularly like the name Tabitha, but it does have good connotations for me, since there’s the really cool Tabitha/Dorcas in the Bible and I knew a girl called…[Read more]

@seekjustice Cool! One of my brothers plans to be a missionary pilot.
I’ll do that! Thanks. 😉
Well, I really don’t like the name Tabitha, but I guess you’re trying to get an old-fashioned, not-so-pretty name to match Augustine, right?
(Oh, or do you actually like the name Tabitha? I hope I didn’t just horrify you by calling it unpretty! Sorry…)

Proabably a lot more than most people. 😀 I’ve even had a few lessons.
Poor Uncle Bill! Send him my love *blows kisses and hugs at Uncle Bill*
By the way, what do you think Quillon’s sister might be named? I’m thinking at the moment of Tabitha Quillon, but what do you think?

@seekjustice Do you know a lot of pilot jargon? 😛 I think you said something about knowing a pilot, but I don’t really remember.
Chara is, but Uncle Bill isn’t. I can’t tell when he’s going to be out of the hospital until I know what’s wrong with him, and at present I have no idea what’s wrong with him. 😛 Poor Uncle Bill! But anyway, he’…[Read more]

They definitely would have been able to see each other much better then, because yeah, they weren’t really enclosed. I’m also trying not to overload the story with pilot jargon, and that’s kind of hard.
That’s good. Are Chara and Uncle Bill out of hospital yet?

@seekjustice Well, during WWI the pilots could see each other pretty well since the planes weren’t as sealed in as they are now, right? I’ve read of dogfights where the pilots saw the expressions on their opponents’ faces sometimes.
Well actually right now it’s going okay. I think. 😛 I’m at a kind of boring part so I’m hoping I can get th…[Read more]

I don’t know, I’m just terrible at writing descriptions of people fighting each other, especially when it’s not a duel with swords or anything, its more impersonal.
No, I haven’t, but I might have heard of it.
Cool! And how’s that going? Hopefully better than my dogfighting.

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
@seekjustice Dogfights are cool, but I wouldn’t know how to write them either. 😀 Have you read the Tales of the RAF by Don Patterson?
Well, right now I have my stuff on a flash drive so I’m trying to work on my western from our desktop computer. 🙂

Hello! I’m currently trying to edit/rewrite a dogfighting scene (not, like, an actual dogfight, but aeroplanes fighting each other).
I’m terrible at fight scenes, so it’s not coming along very well. You?

@seekjustice Working on anything at present?

Yep, I’m likely to be on later 😀

I’m editing my novella currently!

Oh, good! I worry overly much about whether I’ve offended people and feel the need to apologise until I get to the point where I’m apologising for apologising. 😛
I’m sad for your computer by the way 🙂 I hope its okay *sends encouraging hugs to the computer*

@seekjustice Oh my goodness, no! You were not rude. 🙂 You were just expressing an opinion. The reason I jumped out so quickly last night with that very short post was because my computer was acting up. (And besides, it was very late. 😉 )
So please don’t worry about it. I never thought you were rude at all.

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
By the way, sorry if I sounded a bit rude in my last post. Sometimes I just say exactly what I think. So sorry about that 🙂

No, I haven’t, but that sounds pretty cool! I like when you can do that sort of thing to a story!
They get older in the sequel, but I wouldn’t say that they were grown up. Well, the fact is, Curdie in the book is more mature than most twenty-year-olds. But still Irene is……..she’s never been my favourite character in the first p…[Read more]
