@rochellaine  Hello, hello. 😉

I am doing some characterization and world-building…

@seekjustice @rochellaine @dekreel @dragon-snapper

@rochellaine  Ooooh!  My favorites are Unter, Byrk, and Anret.  🙂

High fives to all of my fellow homeschoolers!

@seekjustice I read all kinds of books, and it would be next to impossible to settle on one genre as my “favorite”. I have a few short stories, an article, and a book that I started to write… I live in the midwest, surrounded by trees, cows and rolling hills. Our puppy is an Australian Shepherd, and…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’ve grown out of those sorts of books but I used to love them when I was in that age group.

That is actually a really cool idea! I would definitely read that, I’ve never read much about the Civil War, but I love historical fiction and that premise sounds fascinating. Maybe you should try a rewrite?

Goodnight then. I’ve enjoyed…[Read more]

@rochellaine

*gasp* I had no idea. Time zones literally confuse me so much. It’s 6pm here. I haven’t even had dinner. I feel you should probably sleep.

My publishing experience includes a short story in a magazine almost two years ago and a blogful of ramblings. I’m hoping to be traditionally published one day, but I’m happy to look into…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Thanks for that insightful comment. I had actually never considered that to be part of the theme, it just appeared and I had never thought about the fact that her first impressions were different to what he really was. (sort of like Pride and Prejudice, but the other way around).

I was pondering the fact that she fell in love with…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’m extra sorry now 🙁

That happened to me when I was replying to comments on my blog the other day, and I was super annoyed because my comment was very long and eloquent 🙂

@rochellaine

I’m sorry, it’s really super annoying when that happens. May you have great speed in your rewriting 😀

@jenwriter17 @rochellaine @waterlily

Well, my fangirls, I have some questions for you. These are mostly moral and theme questions, I think, so hopefully they make sense. if they don’t just let me know and I’ll try to rephrase them.

Sapphire: okay….well…*stops to scratch head*. In our day and age, teen girls who have kids are not as frowned…[Read more]

@rochellaine

That happened to me once but I just googled how to restore unsaved changes or something like that and found instructions on how to get it back! It worked too and I was so pleased!

@waterlily

Oh thank you! I’m so happy that you enjoyed it!

@rochellaine

Thank you, that means so much to me 🙂 I did my absolute best to make the ending hopeful and not too depressing because I hate depressing books (I don’t like Romeo and Juliet either. It’s overly melodramatic and depressing in my view)

I sing a lot too. I mean why talk when…[Read more]

@rochellaine They’re not irrelevant, but having things about his street life pop up in his mind mostly when things in the scenes remind him of that life, and only things relevant to that moment, would help to organize his narration more.

I think readers will learn about why he acts the way he does simply by learning about what kind of person he…[Read more]

@rochellaine Ah! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will fix that straight away! 🙂

@rochellaine I actually really this style of writing! That casualness of it…. I also agree with what Dekreel said.

Could I critique it in Goggle docs too?

@rochellaine I didn’t notice the change in style, actually. Except for the fact that there was more going on and less internal monologue. There are still pieces of narration that seem to go on for too long, mostly in the first half. To streamline things more, you could have the narrator only talk about things that directly pertain to what’s…[Read more]

@rochellaine Oh, about halfway. D’Artagnan just found Aramis meeting with Superior of the Jesuits and the Cure of Montdidier. 🙂

@rochellaine

Its fun, isn’t it? I like talking in an Irish accent 🙂

Funnily enough, only one main character (and the antagonist) die.

@dekreel @rochellaine

Good idea… except that I read too much! 😀

But, anyways, I’m reading The Three Musketeers.
