A futeristic tavern/pub sort of place. Probably pretty dirty, quite crowded, I can imagine the walls being metal for some reason, but very grubby. She usually sits behind the bar and paints at an easel.

Rochellaine replied to the topic Audiobooks (and all the jazz) in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@christi-eaton Jim Weiss does some very enjoyable versions of G. A. Henty’s books. However, he does edit them to ensure they can be heard by children, which some might think is a good thing, and others a bad thing. 🙂 (I usually prefer the unabridged versions.)
I don’t listen to audiobooks much, but when I do I go to librivox.org for free…[Read more]

Rochellaine replied to the topic Quote That in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@dekreel I don’t know that one, but I think I do know the one Louise Fowler posted over a month ago which no one answered…
@perfectfifths, is it Fezzik from The Princess Bride when he and Inigo are trying to find the “Man in Black?”
Anyone know this one? (We can do books, too, right?)
“He calls me a crow, because my hair is black…”

@supermonkey42 @perfectfifths @whoever
Bonus points and my undying respect to those of you who can guess these:
Two characters on the telephone:
Character 1: “I’ll be there in an AAAAAAAAAA…!”
Character 2: “In an ‘hour?’ I can’t wait an hour!”
Second quote:
“Dynamic deduction!”

@catwing This will sound like a totally ridiculous question unless you are the person I’m thinking of…
Something you said here about a book you are writing made me want to ask: When you were about twelve years old did you write a book about a detective animal – I think a rabbit?
And illustrate it yourself?
Have you ever been to the HEAV…[Read more]

Joy replied to the topic Character Dilemma! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@emily-d Tell me about the characters! I love hearing about them. What kind of world do they live in? What are their personalities like? How old are they? That way I can give you a story idea based on the characters and the world they live in 🙂

@valtmy Thanks for commenting! You make some very good points.
Giving Chara a bad experience at home so that she flees to her aunt and uncle’s house to mature and then go back to face the problems at home is a reasonable idea, and I’ve read several books with that premise. My problem with it is if something like that happened to me, I don’t t…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 No idea. 🙂 Good quote, though.
@ingridrd Oh, I LOVE the Julie Wright quote! Most people think this is weird, but my form of optimism is often not “Things could be worse,” but “Now that I’ve experienced this horrible thing, I can write about it more correctly.” 😀

Rochellaine replied to the topic Magic System Idea and Time Loops in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 7 months ago
@valtmy I think time loops are really cool, though they do kind of give me a headache. 🙂 I don’t really have anything to add, but I’m wondering where you got the idea?
There’s a hilarious episode of Stargate SG-1 that deals with time loops and their quirks called Window of Opportunity. If you’re writing about time loops you might enjoy it, and…[Read more]

Joy replied to the topic Any Manga Style Artists Out There? in the forum Art 8 years, 7 months ago
@warrenluther04Â Personally I like girls eyes better because boys eyes tend to be angular. I’m more used to drawing girls in general X’D
@catwing That’s good! I like the eyes 😀

Rochellaine replied to the topic Be in Our Newsletter!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@that_writer_girl_99 I finally came up with something. 🙂
I think science fiction worldbuilding shouldn’t be as complicated as a lot of us try to make it. When writing science fiction, wouldn’t it be simpler to pick one specific scientific interest which is the basis for your story, and then have the rest of the story be more normal? That would…[Read more]

Rochellaine replied to the topic What Do You Think Of? in the forum Historical 8 years, 7 months ago
@bella-d I second all the comments above! 🙂
Something I think is interesting about Medieval times is that back then very few people knew how to read, and so almost all news was carried from castle to castle by minstrels who would make up songs about the famous deeds done, and would learn songs from other minstrels to carry the news of those…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Isn’t it, though? I have a tendency to become melodramatic, but I think this really sums up how to write good drama. I know I usually cry more when I watch/read about someone trying not to cry than when they’re sobbing their heart out.
I like your quote, by the way. 🙂
