Haha your book is not even published yet and you are already pandering to the fanbase? 😛

Yes, Kendall really, really needs to be developed more. If removing all romantic hints is needed for that, I’ll say go for it. You are already in a dilemma regarding the genre of SFI, right? 😛 (Whether or not it should be a dystopian or not).…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I have never heard that expression before, but what immediately came to mind was something along the lines of the Olympic torch 😛

And yes, they are torches. 😀

Well, at least I know I’ve succeeded in the aspect of making sure they’re enjoyable to people who have never read the source material, which some other retelling authors…[Read more]

@valtmy

Well, with Rain and Kendall, I honestly want to spend more time developing Kendall, because I feel like he could be a vastly interesting character if I just put a bit more effort to him. That will probably come at the expense of any romantic hints though.

(Honestly, I never met for them to be a romantic pairing anyway. They were just…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hi. Yes, I’m still around. Unfortunately, I’ve been sick 🙁 (But I promise I am still working on Part 3 of QOD, @seekjustice so do not worry!)

@seekjustice

Sure, I’d love to take a look. 🙂

As for your character pairings… Apart from Chessy’s silly crush, I honestly don’t have much of an opinion on that matter actually since I don’t really think of SFI as a romance so I did not read it as such.

Usually for romances what I like to see is two people coming together, supporting each…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yeah, I see where you’re coming from. In my opinion, that’s where its difficult to balance in retellings how similar and how different you are from the original work. One of my other readers loved the similarities and some of them (like yourself) loved the differences. I have been leaning more toward cutting the Quillon and Rain…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

Sorry, I forgot to tag you above. 🙂

@valtmy

Yep, and I think someone else might have mentioned it as well. And I tend to agree, so I changed it. Would you like to have a quick look at my rough draft for the new one? I feel you may like it, seeing as you insisted so warmly on a backstory between Jean and Caderousse  (which I also agreed on).

Most people didn’t comment on it,…[Read more]

@rochellaine @seekjustice

Hi, it’s been SO long since I talked to you guys on this forum. 😀

Ooh the third draft of SFI? Yes, I do believe that the thing about the prologue was one point that I raised for my review.

@rochellaine

Okay 😀

Well, I’ve rewritten the prologue so far. A few betas (I think Valtmy could have been one of them) suggested that the current prologue wasn’t really that important and it was told in a strange way (since it’s in third person when Sapph is one of the narrators anyway), so I redid it a bit different and am working the original…[Read more]

@valtmy @jenwriter17 @rochellaine

Anyone around at the moment? I’ve actually found some time to work on the third draft of SFI!

signing off for now, may be on later or tomorrow…

@daughteroftheking Your website looks great! 😀 (I left a comment 😉 ). Good job for taking this big step of starting a blog! *thumbs up*

@alia Are you still here?

@daughteroftheking, if you used wordpress you can go to customize -> widgets -> footer (1, 2, or 3) -> and then find the one that says follow blog or subscribe

@daughteroftheking, @rochellaine, @jenwriter17, anyone around?

@alia *throws some confetti and spaghetti* Thank you! Ah yes, I also can’t find the follow button. I’m still figuring some of this out… Thanks for checking it out!

@ariel-ashira, @catwing, @dekreel…anyone? must I write all alone? suffering through a lonesome road?

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, @jenwriter17, @anyone else
