Might be around for a little while. Not writing though. Tomorrow’s another break day so I’ll have more time then.

Haha I didn’t read through it very thoroughly though. Just enough to make some comments and answer her questions.
Hi!

@alia *sweeps in with fluttering black cape and lots of maniacal cackling* I’M BAAAAAAACK!!! Sorry I didn’t reply to this sooner. If it a YA novel, then falling in love with the first person they meet that’s their age and the opposite gender is a cliché that must be stomped into a thousand pieces and burned. I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned…[Read more]

Ohh, thanks for bringing this topic back! I loved it!
Lessee. I’ll do one for that girl with her arms spread out…
“And though she didn’t know it, though He was invisible, He was holding her by the hands like a baby learning to walk.”
How’s that? 😛

Yes, that’s a good idea. First decide what political and economic system you are trying to critique for your dystopia. I’m thinking capitalism/oligarchy based on what I’ve read so far (neither of which would justify the tech regression and stagnation).
Especially for the police force. The rich have every incentive so supply ample…[Read more]

Oh. There wasn’t much elaboration on the Great Collapse though so I didn’t notice any nods towards to the Depression and didn’t make the connection but I’m sort of seeing it now…?
But how long ago was the Collapse? I understand if there’s technological regression in the immediate aftermath and the next decade or so. But the story…[Read more]

Bye!
Good to know I’m not the only one that thinks so then. But worldbuilding is very crucial (one could say it is the heart of) for a dystopian story. And any changes you make (esp in the tech level) can cause ramifications in your plot (e.g. suddenly the conflict or problem doesn’t make sense because it can be s…[Read more]

@seekjustice I guess I’ll try the Google Doc then. 🙂

@seekjustice Great, thanks.
By the way, sorry I haven’t been reading your book lately. I’ve just been unsure about which document I need to read from. (The one in the email or the Google doc.) Hopefully I’ll start up again soon…
Which do you think I should use, the Google doc or the email doc?

Joy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 8 months ago
@seekjustice I’m doing fine.
May I ask what time is it in your region of Australia right now? Just so I know when you’re awake and asleep. If you don’t want to answer though, that’s fine.

You know you’re a writer when you pace back and forth in your room repeating your character’s name in different accents, trying to find a good accent for your world.
