@jenwriter17 Oh, oh!!  Haha, I just remembered, I was looking through our sales a few days ago and saw that I’d sold one of those.  I was quite surprised, since the only links are from the ministry website, so people are looking for my parents’ books, not mine.

Now the mystery is solved! 😀

@jenwriter17 Oh…oh my. 😛  How in the world did you find that??

Ohh…from the ministry website’s page on Lulu?

I hope you like it okay!  The beginning (first several chapters) is very boring and forgettable.  But if you can get past that, it gets a little better.  😉

Wow, you’ll be the first person on KP who has read that! 😀 This is exc…[Read more]

@seekjustice I see. 🙂  I love making up names!

Oh, wow. I love the rhythm of that poem!

Don’t worry.  I’ve been going on tangents all night! 😛

Oh, that is strange.  You need to try it out!! 😉  You should watch the pilot episode first, if possible, just to get the background, but then whatever order of episodes you want.

I’m leaving now.  Goodnight!

@seekjustice Okay, I’m in an analyzation mood, so here’s my take on those names:

Moonaru and Mooniji have too much “moon” in them, and they make me think of moony romance or loony weirdness.  (Yeah, sorry, couldn’t come up with a better phrase than “loony weirdness” which is sad, seeing as I’m a writer, but that’s life.)

Narara is too much of a…[Read more]

@alia Haha, your idea reminds me of the Studio C episode where the Narrator has a fight with the protagonist. 😛  Have you seen that?

Let’s see… (I’ll copy @seekjustice‘s style of listing 😉 )

Villain Cliches:

• Male villain has a mustache
• Female villain is either the most beautiful woman in the world, or extremely ugly
• Villain’s voice…

@alia 😀 😀 😀 😀

Sometimes, I suppose, I’m just in a rambling mood.  And no matter what I write at those times, it always seems to turn out a ramble.  But, at least it has amused you. 😉

How close or far from your character was the analyzation, really?  I mean, if you already picked a name, you must have picked a character, right?

So, is th…[Read more]

@seekjustice @alia Forgive me, both of you.  I believe I’m in a rambling mood tonight.  I just totally rambled on for hours in my posts to both of you. 😛

I hope you don’t get too confused or bogged down in my mental spiderwebs. 😉

(How would you get “bogged down” in “spiderwebs?”  I’ve always known I was horrible at symbolism, but this is really bad.)

@alia I often go into a book with one opinion of a name and come out with another opinion.  If I originally hated a name, and the books hero had the name, I usually like the name afterwards, or the other way around. 😛

So basically, whatever you use it for, I think the name will mold itself to your character, in your readers’ eyes.

However, you…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, yes.  I love cliches!!!  But while I enjoy cliches being made fun of, I actually like real cliches used seriously.  I guess…hm, what sort of cliches did I use in my short stories? 😛 I didn’t do it on purpose.  I don’t mind if I did, I just never thought of it before.  Are stupid doctors cliche?  Valtmy seemed to think they…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Rochellaine likes doing clichés and making them humorous, so she might have some tips for you!

Um…did you mean @valtmy?  Or were you referring to something in one of my stories that for some reason I do not remember?

By the way, I’m back, finally. 😀

@alia Hi! how’s it going?

@seekjustice Yes, we had a good time.  The sermon was nice.  It was about going to a secret place with God, and just talking with Him, without other distractions.  I certainly don’t do that enough!

Okay, sounds great. 🙂

So am I, actually, since it’s time for dinner. 😛  See you later!

@seekjustice The blurb sounds quite interesting!  (I agree with @jenwriter17, that you didn’t sound at all selfish in the original post.)

I did have to read the blurb a couple of times to figure out what was going on, as I was mixing up Yilla and the queen, but I think that might have just been that I was doing other things at the same time, so…[Read more]

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 Sorry for dropping out on you.  My sister and I decided to go to the Wednesday evening service at our church. 🙂

@seekjustice That is the absolute WORST thing about being sick!!!  I always say so.  I don’t mind the feeling of being sick half as much as the feeling of being strangled and incapable of song.  How can you properly express feelings without music?  Words alone just don’t carry it. 😛

Hope you get better soon!

A new project??  Is it a secr…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Not being able to sing high notes could just mean you need practice. 😉

Okay, well, I’ve got to go now.  I’ll probably be on for a bit tonight.  Bye!

@jenwriter17 You don’t even know what my voice sounds like! 😛

Um, let’s see…

Well, I would say sing all the time.  Around the house, while doing your work, while driving, whatever.  Practice does make perfect, and your voice will get stronger with use.  You probably already do this, though. 😉

The one thing that really bugs me about mo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Yeah, no, I wouldn’t have gotten more than a few pages into it by now, probably.  I do most of my reading in the evening.

Remember, she made my Jonas scene canon! 😀  Of course she changed it quite a bit so it would fit in with the story correctly, but Jonas does visit Chessy in jail! 😀 😀

@jenwriter17 Okay. 🙂

Well, actually she let me start reading the second draft early.  I think @dekreel has also started reading the second draft.  SeekJustice was letting me read it as she was writing it. 😉

@jenwriter17 I’m fine. 🙂

Yes, of course. 😉  I already had several people read it, and I just wanted a quick perspective on how the opening was going and what types of things I might need to change before I got too far into the book.  So I’ve got that, and can write again.  And by the time you’re ready, I should have more written for you to re…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 😉

I’m working on a short story.

How’s it going?
