@catwing @ariel-ashira Sorry, I have to leave now. 🙁

@alia Ooh! *takes coffee* *adds milk and too much sugar*

Okay, catch ya some other time! 😉

@ariel-ashira ugh Pinterest is SO DISTRACTING! (I was literally just on it XD )

@ariel-ashira That’s okay, I understand. 🙂

I think I’ll be on for a bit more…

@catwing Cool! Which guild are you in? (so sorry if I’m forgetting that you’re in mine). I can’t wait to hear how the conference goes. 🙂 I’m just working on tweaking things on my website and fueling my inspiration tank via pinterest. 😛

@catwing I just left cuz no one else seemed to be on, but I can be on some more for a bit. 🙂 watcha working on?

leaving for now…

@ariel-ashira Hi! 😀 I’m just working on some outlining for my NaNo novel (and totally NOT getting distracted by pinterest 😛 ). how ’bout you?

whoops… @ariel-ashira

@seekjustice @rochellaine @alia @airle-ashira @dekreel @dragon-snapper @catwing I’m working on blog stuffs and outlining. 🙂 Anyone on?

@rochellaine

Sorry, my computer ran out of battery, but I’m back again!

Yes, I definitely base characters on people! Usually not purposefully though. I usually just realise, oh! So and so is a lot like so and so.

But I love when those disclaimers are in historical fiction novels, where the characters sometimes are real people.

@rochellaine

Maybe authors should start putting disclaimers in the front of their books:

We do not condone the behaviours of any character that seems slightly antagonistic, and nor we do take any responsibility for any of their evil deeds.

I know, poor Curt didn’t deserve anything that I forced him to endure.

Yes, it’s such an entertaining way…[Read more]

@rochellaine

People don’t actually expect us to take responsibility for our bad characters, do they?

Well, of course Curt did none of those things. Because he was a small angel. He definitely fell into the disabled angelic character trope that I see so many people complaining about 😛

@rochellaine

Unless you become ruthless. Like me 😛

Haha no. But he might as well be, down to the fact that he’s Irish and has an accent. But he’s a character from a very old book of mine (and don’t even bother asking to read it, because. Nope. No chance. No one is ever reading that thing).

@rochellaine

Poor Bathshua. She doesn’t deserve any of the things you throw at her (ah, look at me. Such a hypocrite!)

I’m currently reading over a really long and old character sheet I filled out for a character so completely perfect that I cringe now. I’m supposed to be taking the questions and filling out the sheet for another character…[Read more]

@rochellaine

It’s two o’clock, so I guess it is afternoon. And yep, I’m free for a bit. How are you? How’s Bathshua going?
