@catwing I’m here!  How are you doing?

@rochellaine @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @dekreel @alia @sam-kowal
I am rewriting on my book. Anyone else here?

@seekjustice The long list of books to read… *shakes head* I know exactly what you mean.

Yes, so if something happens, you should have plenty of time to warn us.  Can I trust you to do so? 😛

(There are definitely people that uneducated.  I’ve seen lots of similarly ridiculous quotes. 😛 )

I’m going to say goodnight now.  Talk to you later!

@seekjustice Ah, I see. 🙂  Irrational fears always seem to be the worst.

It’s been a while since I read most of Henty’s books (we have the full collection, or possibly minus one or two) and I don’t remember that one well.  I think it wasn’t one of my favorites.  I have three favorites, and one of those three was the one on the French Re…[Read more]

@seekjustice “tyrannical rule of the Shetland ponies?” Haha!  Sounds intriguing.  In what manner, exactly, are ponies tyrannical?

Which book do you have?  Oh, well, the one I was referring to is Dale Robertson.  He’s not far above a lot of other favorite actors I have, but he’s the one I’ve “picked” to be at the top of the list right now. 😛 …[Read more]

@seekjustice I was just reading where Chessy disapproves of Justice’s methods of trickery and bribery, but for some reason doesn’t disapprove of his plan to kill people… 😛 Yeah, I know that’s not really what’s going on, but it just reminded me of this:

@seekjustice The Haitian revolution is very horrible and very interesting.  It has many similarities to the French revolution.  I first heard about it in a G.A.Henty book.  (Have you heard of Henty?  He’s extremely popular as a historical author among U.S. homeschoolers)  I later watched a movie about it, and absolutely loved it.  (It didn’t hurt…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, since I’ve never read Les Mis fully, I guess I didn’t notice the time period much.  I probably would be able to tell if I read it in-depth, since, as you say of yourself, I am also a history nerd. 😛  Okay, so this is after Napoleon, right?  I actually don’t know much about Napoleon, either, except as he has to do with the Ha…[Read more]

@valtmy Yeah, sorry, I really haven’t been on top of my beta work for a while.  SeekJustice sent me her part three several days ago, and I haven’t even read half of it, while I usually read her stuff straight through day of or next day.  And I didn’t get to Jen’s book until a couple of weeks after she finished it, I think.

So, if I don’t get to i…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, okay.  I thought that it was set during the French Revolution.  I don’t know a lot of French history, mostly where French history interconnected with the history of other countries.  What exactly happened in the 1830s that Les Mis was set during that period?

Okay, so about Jean leaving Chessy in the trench, yeah, he should pr…[Read more]

@seekjustice Um, yeah, but children’s rights hadn’t been discussed yet in the 1700s…

Setting your story in the present day/future means that the cultural things won’t all match up with the circumstances in Les Mis.  Such as the thing I talked to you a long time a go about, with Sapphire being looked down upon, which is not so much a thing…[Read more]

@valtmy No, you weren’t making it too obvious, it worked fine for me. 😉

Oh, oh!  Haha, I’m so sorry!  I just realized how that sounded.  I didn’t mean that you don’t understand jokes unless they’re explained to you.  I meant that you prefer more realistic circumstances, as you were pointing out how the nurses and doctor didn’t act prof…[Read more]

@valtmy I’m not sure…I think it was the part about the party where she was talking to all her brother’s friends and embarrassing herself by not knowing the meaning of the poetry. 😉

Anyway, we’ve already established that we enjoy different types of humor, right? 😛  You need to have your humor carefully explained and diagramed, while I prefer…[Read more]

@catwing Goodnight!  Oh, you’ll be here tomorrow?  I hope so!  I’ve been missing you. 😀

That reminds me, @dekreel I’m so sorry to have missed you earlier!!!  I wish I had been here at the right time to chat with you a bit. 🙁  Hope to see you soon again.

@seekjustice I’m starting chapter 20 now, and in the opening of that Justice is telling Chessy she is supposed to be at home, as usual. 😛  Then Jonas looks at Justice to make him shut up, also as usual. 😛

However, I was wondering, of course Jonas would tell Justice not to be so harsh, but Justice is just trying to protect Chessy, so why is he…[Read more]

@seekjustice I know right? What are our books thinking?
How did I ever decide on that name? XP

@valtmy Indeed it is.
Yes, fun villains could be fun to write sometimes. ;3

@rochellaine

Okay I have to go to bed now. I got a lot done. YAY!
Perhaps I shall see some of you tomorrow. Good night.

@seekjustice I have been doing third person. Yes, I think I understand now.

@rochellaine Thank you. But I’m closer to finishing this one so I’m working on doing that first… 😛

Yeah, that’s me too. I didn’t want to do Firebird currently, it was being annoying. I wasn’t making much progress (except my book trying to start a romance subplot.…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m here now!  How’s it going?  I think I’m finally going to read the rest of the third part of the second draft of your first book…I love the way that sounds…before I get back to my own book. 😀

@catwing Your WIP sounds interesting, but I’ve been waiting for three years for you to write Firebird… 😛

Just kidding, though.  I…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, I have a timeline… and at least one more sad character to add…
Do you mean changing between first and third person?

I know, poor Alex. 🙁

@valtmy *laughs* nice blog, huh?
I do have one book that will have only one POV, in first person… But she is my favorite character. XD

@seekjustice I had six. *nods* I was told I confused the readers so… And I had planned more for the second book, so I’m going to have to figure that out. It’s fun. ;P

aaahhhh… I shall say she is a teenager who feels betrayed, confused, and really really mad. The group she meets doesn’t help at all either. But I don’t want to say too much that m…[Read more]
