Hey there!

@rochellaine @valtmy @jenwriter17 @bluejay

Anyone around? I’m editing/watching Les Mis.

@jenwriter17 You too. I enjoy talking with you. ^.^
(I suppose we all have our mistags. Catwin for the win. :P)

@rochellaine Well, you see it’s a small picture. And I mistook your white hat for a blank mannequin face. And I think your hair for part of shirt or vest on a flowing white dress. My poor confused brain. *shakes head*

@rochellaine Wow, I don’t think I realized that we’d joined so close together! 😀 It’s been really nice knowing you, my friend. 🙂

Wow…a whole year…

Hehe, been on the KP forum a while (Wise Jester rank now), and I don’t think I introduced myself here. Oopsy. Bet you all were wondering where this random girl came from huh? Well, anyway, obviously you can guess I’m a writer. 😉 I love writing contemporary, historical, sci-fi- and fantasy. I LOVE the Marvel movies (Ca…

@rochellaine @valtmy

honestly, I don’t know how to get around that “Mark of the Beast” parallel. I certainly don’t want people to think this is some sort of “Left Behind” version of Les Mis (how weird does that sound?) But on the other hand, I think tattoos would be a very useful form of identification. I had the plastic tags in the last draft,…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I see. 😀

Reposting because my first post strangely disappeared…

I looked at @rochellaine‘s comments and just have a couple of things to add:

#1: I agree that you have to decide what names Jean/Chessy use when they think of themselves and each other and change the names accordingly when writing in their POVs but I think you are…[Read more]

@valtmy @rochellaine @ariel-ashira @seekjustice @dekreel @alia @catwing

I’ll be on for a bit, if anyone would like to join me. 🙂

@rochellaine

Ah, so she does actually say she likes Kendall? Hmm…I didn’t know that

*wonders off to ponder for a while*

@valtmy @rochellaine

I do that everytime. I even went and copied the link, just never pasted it.

@dekreel Hey! We’re just discussing my New York Times Bestseller WIP.

@rochellaine  @valtmy  @seekjustice  @alia  @ariel-ashira  @jenwriter17  @anyone

I think I’ll try to hack away this plot hole a bit. How are y’all doing? 🙂

@rochellaine @valtmy

Here’s the rough draft I wrote the other day (really late at night 😛 ). It’s in omniscient pov, since that’s how most prologues seem to be done, but i’m still to decide whether the abrupt switch of focus at the end works? Let me know what you think 😀

@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]

@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!)

@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. 🙂

@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!
