@jenwriter17 No, you’re right.  We know several families with twenty or more kids. 🙂  It’s just some skeptical person in the government who was supposed to approve the paperwork as a formality decided that it’s impossible for a family to be “normal” or something with this many kids, so they put a hold-up on everything.

Thanks!

@dekreel I insist that disbeliefing someone is not morbid!  If they’re not real in the first place, how does it hurt to make them disappear from tangible sight?  I can only disbelief things that aren’t real, since disbeliefing is a factor of the imagination.

@supermonkey42 Well no, “sentient” droids aren’t real, but you don’t act like a droid. :…[Read more]

@dekreel *hides in shame* Haha, I was kind of hoping no one would notice. 🙂  I had a good reason to stay up late, though.  I wanted to discuss a problem with someone, and Seekjustice was the only one around.  If you want to know what the problem was, you can read a few posts from our discussion, starting from here. 🙂

@seekjustice Here’s my thesis! 😀

First of all, you said something about how Chessy’s and Sapphire’s relationship might be “interesting.”  This might be true if she was adopted at a later age, but really, if she’s grown up with Sapphire, she won’t ever consider her as anything other than a sister, and if she does, that might cause problems for…[Read more]

@seekjustice Probably between 4000 and 5000 words, which means with the average 800 word parts I’ve got it in now, one to three more sections.  Yeah, not much to work with. 😀

P.S. What would you do if someone stopped you in the middle of the night like happened to June in the beginning?

@seekjustice I have no idea what the paper says!!! 😀  Actually I have a sort of an idea.  I think it’s going to reference some place he wants her to meet him to discuss things.  But I’m not sure yet.  I’ll find out once the police get there and read it.  Also, I’m trying to keep the story down to size, so I don’t want to keep going for anot…[Read more]

@seekjustice Okay, I’ll try to find a chance to read it.  I’m currently still on the sixth chapter of A Little Bush Maid, so you can see I haven’t been reading much lately! 🙁

You’re right, the “Oh, you’re adopted” is done often and badly. 😀  Though I have heard of some real parents who don’t tell their kids until they’re older.  I think tha…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’d love to be able to “knuckle down and finish in six weeks!”  Especially with my western.  I might be able to if I actually decided to work on that instead of my short stories. 🙂  I just keep getting distracted.

Um, I have a couple of things I could tell you in answer to that, but in order to do so I’m afraid I’d break the “o…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh wow.  Now I definitely need to read A Tale of Two Cities!  (Though I haven’t fully read Les Miserables I have skimmed through most of it, but I don’t really know any of the story of the other.)

I think the fact that you added Chessy’s adoption into Stars is great, because it will link the two books together and make it look like…[Read more]

@seekjustice No, this isn’t that one.  I just found this one a couple of days ago when I was going through my old notes, halfway done, and decided to try and finish it. 🙂  I am extremely random in my writing habits, if you haven’t noticed! 😀  But I think I’ll be able to finish this one now, since it’s been going pretty well.

Okay, yeah, if sh…[Read more]

@seekjustice *laughs* Ohh, the poor guy! 😀

Oh, and a warning: this is completely a first draft, so I haven’t got really any imagery or description or good wording anywhere.  It’s just the idea of the story and I’ll edit it once I finish. So it might not be a great read right now. 🙂

Haha!  I read the author’s notes and acknowledgements too.  Ma…[Read more]

Oh, thank you! @seekjustice

Anything to do with the government is always a pain. 😀

@seekjustice I actually ate a breakfast sort of snack: instant oatmeal and a mini croissant. 🙂

Hahaha!  Hey, do you always know whether your characters will survive your stories?  Yeah, I know.  Killing someone is a little different.  And at one point I did question whether to have a twist and let him turn out to be a real murderer so she wou…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yeah, maybe I could just ask her to change it’s name from “troll” to something else, which she could easily come up with since she made up Chasm Beasts. 🙂  It’s funny, I actually said something against mermaids here once, and when I told my mom about it she said she doesn’t mind mermaids. 😀  So anyway, we’ll see how it ends up l…[Read more]

@seekjustice Um, I just looked up “Troll, the creature” on Wikipedia, and it said the Norse word “Troll” means “fiend, werewolf, or demon,” so now I think I might have to talk to my mom about this thing.  I wish Dekreel hadn’t called me it’s “overlord” since I believe Christians can command demons to go away, but should certainly not be…[Read more]

@seekjustice I definitely understand that, and that’s why I’ve treated my aversion to fantasy as somewhat of a joke here. 🙂  I do like fantasy, though only certain kinds.  Anyway, thanks for talking about it with me!  I’ll think about it, and if I don’t announce my website tomorrow I’ll do it within the next couple of days.

Now, why would you be…[Read more]
