Hi @rochellaine! I also write primarily contemporary realistic fiction. I find it easier to relate with modern readers and their problems that way. I’m too practical for fantasy!

Hey @jenwriter17! I love historical fiction, some non-fiction, and the occasional fantasy. My top three favorite authors are J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and G.A. Henty.…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yes, I think it works best as as scene that Chara remembers instead of putting it in the beginning. Maybe when Chara is at the “bottom of her self-reliance ability”, she can think about how stuff like this always happens to her and have her flashback to give an example. Then to make her background clear and make Chara appear as a…[Read more]

@rochellaine (I did get multiple emails, it was a bit confusing, but that’s okay!)

Oh thank you 🙂 That’s so sweet that you wrote a poem for me!

“And one by one you refuse to let them live” my poor characters. They never had a chance! 🙁

I really love it. I’m copying it into a word document and putting it in the Stars Fill Infinity folder.

@rochellaine hhmm.. That quote is too true!

@rochellaine Ah, just relived all those tearful scenes! *sniffs* Love the poem though. 🙂

@rochellaine Ooh, fun! so I just have to say a quote from a movie and y’all have to try and guess what movie it’s from?

@rochellaine @gh24682468999@seekjustice @alia @dekreel Don’t feel like you have to or anything, but if any of you guys were wanting to proof my script, I’d appreciate if you could get it done this week, or early next week… Thanks for the tips @gh24682468999 🙂

@perfectfifths Actually I used that website to get the names of half my characters. Thanks, I definitely try out words in other languages.

@rochellaine Ok. Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll try it out.

@kaya-young That’s a great word! I’ll probably play around with the spelling, but I really like it. Thanks!

@dekreel Thanks! The trinkets made…[Read more]

@rochellaine Anyway, I need to make myself scarce because it’s time to go to youth group. And apparently it’s asocial to work on writing whilst hanging out with one’s peers 😀

@rochellaine I suppose so. I could be known as the author who kills characters badly. that would be a bad reputation.

Hmm…good question. I don’t know a lot of guys either, but the ones I do know are super nice, not perfect but nice. There are plenty of flaws that adults have too. he might be too quick to judge someone, or he speaks without…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Phew! Crisis averted ;P

It seems I’m becoming known as the author who does a really good job killing characters.  I assume that’s a good thing to be known for. Right?? But, if you cry a lot over a character’s death, at least in my opinion, it means the character was very well written and you loved them very much, so it’s a sign of…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well the fangirls have spoken. I think it would break my heart anyway, if I killed him. He’s too sweet, he deserves to live and be happy…well, as happy as he can be without Sapphire. *evil smile*

I have heeded your warning. I will not lay a finger on his life.

@rochellaine

Okay cool! I really enjoy doing character charts (I’ve written two today), and I find them super helpful. My poor brain can’t be expected to remember everything by itself. And they definitely do help with getting to know your characters better.

Aw, thank you. I love Quillon too. He’s definitely one of my favourite characters and I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

That’s what I usually do when I get stuck on a scene, I just write a brief explanation of what happened, and then I move on. I can usually write the scene much better if I come back to it a few days later.

I don’t remember that particular part of Anne of Green Gables, but definitely! No non-writer will ever understand the struggle!

@rochellaine

I know! I used to say that I hated love triangles, but then I realised that I actually quite like love triangles and it’s only when they’re badly done that I really hate them.

Urgh, that’s no good. What’s up with it?

@rochellaine

Lovely! Working on your western?

@rochellaine

I’ve always been in two minds about whether or not they should be together. Originally, I had yes, in the last chapter. and then I changed my mind, preferring no, so I changed the last chapter, but then my reader was sad that I’d changed it…

I still am not completely decided.

Justice’s cousin is a bit of a rogue, but in my…[Read more]

@rochellaine @epicaddie2 @jenwriter17 @dekreel

I’m working on some outlining, anyone wish to join me?

@rochellaine

Too true! I can just imagine all my slaughtered darlings saying that to me. I hope their deaths were swift and painless. 🙁
