@seekjustice, howdy

what are you working on?

@catwing Cool 🙂 Did what I said make sense?

@rochellaine That sounds somewhat annoying. Are you around now? I won’t be on tonight so I’m trying to get some writing in now.

I’ll be here for probably another 30 minutes

@rochellaine, @jenwriter17, @catwing, anyone around?

@Seekjustice Okay that makes sense. I was wondering about advice because one of my beta readers said that not each of my main characters had a clear unique character arc. So I was trying to find out more about them. 😉

@alia Sometimes it is hard to find the right words to write down, so I think, “But I’m a writer.” Yeah, well that doesn’t mean we always know how to express what we want to say (just maybe we’re better at it. Poor non-writers. ;P )

@seekjustice

Oh wow. Maybe he has one of those double character family names 😛

Bye! Talk to you tomorrow (maybe)! 😀

@valtmy

😀 no its not. Its not as short and sweet as that.

Anyway, I’m disappearing now. Farewell 😉

@seekjustice

I have so many characters demanding to have ‘yeon’ in their names so I’ve given up on that one already.

Is your dad’s friend’s surname Kim by any chance? (cos that is like the most common surname among Koreans and I remember including a very small joke about that somewhere)

@valtmy

Yep, pretty much 😛 Sorry 😀

I can imagine that Korean names would be confusing. My dad has a friend from Korea who has anglicized his first name but the rest of his name??? It’s completely got me. 😛

@seekjustice

Lol so the problematic one is my MC’s which is the most important one??

Korean names can often look and sound very similar to each other because there are phonetic vowels that are very often used so sometimes figuring out what to name a character is a trial by itself. 😛

@valtmy

I would have to go and look at the document to know how to spell it! The good thing is, the other character’s names are pretty manageable. 🙂

@seekjustice

Haha it’s that bad?

Oh well. Nothing I can do about the language. But I made sure most of my main characters have names that start with different letters. 😛

@valtmy

In that case let me rephrase…

Congratulations to you, character-whose-name-I-wouldn’t-be-able-to-spell-without-triple-checking 😛

@seekjustice

You don’t need to be able to pronounce it to type it 😛

@valtmy

My congratulations to you, character-whose-name-I-can’t-pronounce 😛

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Haha for me I’m going to have things start looking up for my MC. I’ve been looking forward to writing this part but now that I’m going to it’s hard to start :P</p>

@valtmy

I’m getting so close to the end! Which is a relief, pure and simple 😀

@seekjustice

Yep 🙂 How’s your editing going?

@valtmy

No worries 😀 I understand (except that I don’t really, but I wouldn’t share my job on the internet either 😛 )

Are you on your lunchbreak yet?
