@jenwriter17 I have arrived. Working on a blog post.

@rochellaine writers’ corner is acting funny, so I’m gonna go ahead and start a new corner…

@rochellaine Awesome! I’m sipping sparkling strawberry lemonade 😛 (so. good.)

hmm….your western? 😉

@rochellaine @seekjustice @alia @kaya-young @skredder @catwing @daughteroftheking @dragon-snapper @dekreel I’m editing/rewriting/doing website stuffs! Anyone on?

@rochellaine

My own work is… 😅

By the way, I am still waiting for your feedback on my first three chapters. *hint, hint*

Haha it’s OK though. I know you’re busy with exams and I have to focus on what I’m currently working on now instead of getting distracted by my previous parts.

@rochellaine

I am imagining the narration of the MC being in this very pompous tone of someone who thinks he is very smart but isn’t (I mean he doesn’t even know what a prosthetic is???). The doctor could be this nervous, stuttering geek and the nurse a brainless beauty with a flair for the dramatic. Not sure if that’s how you’re seeing it but…[Read more]

@rochellaine

That’s probably true. 😛

I actually think your piece will work well as a short film where you can see all the crowding and jostling and it’ll be funny to watch the overdramatic reactions that the incompetent doctors and nurses have. But just reading it as a story makes me go “Really? What kind of doctor/nurse will do that?” If it…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Bye!

@rochellaine

Obviously what I would do is not to make everything more realistic (that would defeat the point of the humour). But what I would do is give more characterisation to the doctors and nurses so that it is clear they are meant to be taken as a joke (frankly speaking, I wasn’t laughing at those parts because I was…[Read more]

@valtmy @rochellaine

Anyway, I’m going to first aid tonight 😀 Fare well!

@rochellaine

I think that, because its silly, slapstick sort of comedy and doesn’t matter. No one reading comedy is looking for something that particularly make sense. In the context of the story, it doesn’t bother me at all 😛

@rochellaine

Well, my family would probably think I’m a loony with the amount I’m laughing at the moment, so I guess so.

@rochellaine

My word. Gracious goodness. Glory be.

@rochellaine  Okey dokey 🙂

*sits back to wait* *starts on math sums*

@rochellaine

Wait, I did? When did this happen? Can I read it? 😛

@rochellaine

Ooh, interesting! What’s it about???

@valtmy

😛 My pleasure 😀

@seekjustice

Thanks! That was a nice article. I guess I can think of this scene as a… fireside chat scene. Without the fireside or the chat. 😀

@rochellaine

I know the feeling. But, hey, at least you can afford to have a slower pace and lots of time for introspection given the genre you’re writing. 😀

Mine’s a comedy so I need things to be light, fast and with a constantly moving and changing web of jokes so that the humour doesn’t get old… 😓

@valtmy

I wouldn’t worry about it too much at the moment, but if you’d like here’s a blog post I read yesterday about those kind of “quiet” scenes, if you’d find it useful: Click this link! (that doesn’t sound like a dodgy advertisement at all)
