Hello, m’friends! I did not expect to be able to be on here while out of town, but here I am. 🙂 I’m writing and working on blog stuff, if anyone would like to join me. 😉

@rochellaine @seekjustice I tagged you guys on SE for the Prayer Requests topic….thought you might like to be a part of it!

(I still stalk the stuff on here! 😀 )

@rochellaine

The clip I saw of them was from several years ago, so they might have grown up a bit since then.

That’s fine. I have to go too, so I probably won’t be on again. I’ll talk later!

@rochellaine

I’m not sure that I have heard of it, but yes, it does sound a little too cheesy for me 😛

Is Collabro sort of like a teenaged boy band? I remember hearing a boy band sing “Stars” and it really blew me away. I wasn’t expecting them to do it so fantastically.

Have you tried contacting Hope Ann or Daeus, or someone?

@rochellaine

I have the main conflict and plot for 3 mostly sorted out, I just have to work in the subplots and manage to wrap up the whole trilogy. Which is the difficult part.

I’ve been listening to The Secret Garden a lot lately, but I don’t think I’ve really found any new musicals that I can think of. Excepting Ludwig2, which is a German…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I hear you on the crazy.

Nope, I haven’t restarted yet, I’m currently doing another round of edits on SFI. Particularly changing some of the things in regard to Justice’s coma 😛 )

@rochellaine @seekjustice

Good to know that your exams are over. 😀

I’ll be going off for a church camp so I”m afraid I won’t be around this weekend. I will be free on Tues/Wed (or Mon/Tues depending on the time difference) though so I would probably be around then.

Talk to you guys another time! 🙂

@rochellaine

I was just about to see if you were around. I’m glad your finals are done (my friends all finished up with University a month ago). How’s life been other than school?

@rochellaine

Wouldn’t we all like a fictional writing mentor? 😛

And yeah, I think I filled out the survey on the first day it was sent out, otherwise I knew I’d never get around to it 😀

@bluejay Sorry, I’m beta reading/preparing to edit my own novel at the moment.

@dekreel

Aw, sorry I didn’t see this until now! I was out shopping. I don’t know if you’re still on, but I won’t be able to come on right now. 🙁 Probably more on Christmas break next week. 🙂

I’ll (hopefully) be writing a bit.

@rochellaine  @seekjustice  @valtmy  @jenwriter17  @alia  @bluejay  @………

@bluejay  I might be able to do it, depends on how hectic life gets. 😉 I’m interested, anyway!

@bluejay What is it about? 😀

@bluejay I’m working on another beta reading project at the moment, and I won’t be able to take another one on for a while. Sorry! 🙁

But I’ll tag a bunch more people for you 😉 @rochellaine @alia @ariel-ashira @daughteroftheking @kaya-young @warrenluther04 @valtmy

@seekjustice

No problem. 🙂 Take everything I say with a grain of salt though because I belong to the “Begin as late as you can and leave as early as possible” and the “If the reader has likely read a hundred other such scenes and can imagine what will happen, don’t show it” schools of thought… which I don’t think is very suitable to your…[Read more]

@valtmy

Thanks very much for your thoughts! I’ll definitely keep all those things in mind as I start my outline again 😀

(I would write a much longer reply, but my brain is super fuzzy and honestly not working that great 😛 )

@seekjustice

All right. I read it and liked what you have so far. 🙂 Here are some thoughts I have that may help you. I think this may be more suited to assist with refining a first draft to a second draft but hopefully some of it can apply to a Draft 1.5 as well.

#1: Word count is about 9k which I think is fair for the set-up of a 90-100k…[Read more]

@valtmy I put it in another post.

I was planning for it to be 90-100k.
