Hey. Really wish I can join but I’ll be working now. Thankfully there’s nothing on my plate yet since I’m new and I might be able to pop in during lunch. So just letting you know that I’ll still be stalking around. 😛

I’ll keep that in mind though I don’t know whether I would ever need my character to faint. My MC might pretend to faint (which is likely given her job) but she’s not the kind to actually faint. 😛

Hey my MC will begin trekking out of her despair soon! Which means that I can write more cute and funny scenes soon! 😀

Oh yeah. That part I was really struggling with because I already consider it beyond my usual humour. That scene was meant to poke fun at poetic language and at obnoxious heroines who think they are too ‘smart’ and ‘deep’ compared to other girls. I felt I was making it too obvious.
Carefully explained and diagrammed? I’m not that…[Read more]

Hmm I guess that makes sense. I’m calling it a parody because that’s the closest thing I can think of for now. I’m trying to strike a delicate balance between drama and comedy. In some ways being over the top is good but I’m also deconstructing some of the cliches and sometimes that calls for being more subdued and…[Read more]

Hey. Just getting lost reading SeekJustice’s blog and reviewing what I wrote last night… Do you think it is weird if every other character is described as handsome, beautiful, attractive etc.? I mean, my story is supposed to have a sugary romance novel surface (underneath the surface is something else entirely) after…[Read more]

Sorry. Am getting distracted checking out the blog 😛
I have no discipline when it comes to POVs. I just finished a chapter with a scene from the POV of a minor character who I doubt will ever show up on page again. I am amazed how you managed to consistently stick with a few POVs each book, SeekJustice.

Could you do me a favor and darken the picture, if you can? So the color pops more? Thank you!

I had to return to the doc to see who Nes is (me and my forgetfulness).
I suppose it’s really up to you to decide since I don’t know what you have planned for your plot. The whole proverbs thing is a potentially interesting quirk that can be a good source of wit and levity (not that your story is a comedy).
I’m fine if he’s just a…[Read more]

If you’re the motherly type that wants to make sure no one gets hurt. why are you hurting your characters? 😛
Great! I would love to continue reading your story then 🙂
Hmm… giving your MC two names might be interesting and justified if she is navigating two different cultures.
As for my own MC… no English names…[Read more]

I am not sure if I am remembering this correctly but from what I learnt in my bible study, whether the names are Jewish or Greek can indicate the person’s background and origin. So I guess you should look at what type of name your MC’s family, given who they are as people, would give her.
