I’m here for a bit.  Anyone interested in joining me?

@rochellaine

Yeah, me either. I think it would kinda ruin her character!

I forgot we were talking about Jonathan and had to look at that sentence twice to work out what you were talking about 😛

Good night!

@seekjustice I cannot see Chessy as a mother. 😛  A fun aunt, yes, but a mother?  Well, I guess she’d be a good mother if she did have kids, I just can’t see her as one right now. 😉

What other guy would actively assist someone else who was planning to take over the kingdom which should by inheritance be his own?

Well, maybe I’ll be able to w…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yeah, I’ve read a few series like that and I know it can be done, sometimes I just wish the author would move onto something else though. However, I have my Kai book I want to write and I love the Oliver Twist/Waif idea so I’ll probably wrote that eventually.

I’m half and half over whether I should give Chessy a child though 😛

I…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’ve read several series which had second, third, or more additional series along the same timeline with references to the same characters.  To name a few, Gilbert Morris, Robin Jones Gunn, and Lauraine Snelling were all very successful with that.  I don’t think it’s a problem, since if people like your books they’ll want to keep l…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’m not even one of those super obsessed people. I find them confusing! I think its quite interesting though.

I have thought about that. I am kind of wary of those people who just can’t let go of their characters though and just keep going and going and going with their series. But that is a cool idea. If I get some more ideas, I’ll…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, if I ever decided to fully study it, I’d probably become more interested in it, since I’m usually very invested in what I intentionally study.  Right now it’s pretty confusing, but I get the gist of what you’re saying. 😉

I was reading your blog post earlier, and wondering, since you want to make the Infinity series a trilogy,…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Oh I see. Well, the idea behind the MBTI is that its about how people think rather than how they actually act, though obviously thought influences actions.

For example, the difference between Sensing and Intuition is whether someone processes information based on what they can sense and what they know to be factual, whereas…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yeah, I definitely know what you mean. 😛  There are some people who think it would be a perfect tragedy to be not able to talk to someone for five minutes.

Hm, well, that’s not exactly what I meant.  I mean, what if your character’s arc was that he learned to take things as they come, and not expect things to be in little boxes?  Wo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Bye!

@Rochellaine

Introverts only joke about that (I think anyway). I quite like people actually. I would argue though that labelling people as extrovert/introvert is helpful sometimes. I have extrovert friends who just don’t understand the need to be left alone, so in that case reading about introverts would be helpful for them to…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, I don’t like them because I don’t trust them, and I think they kind of limit people.  I feel like if you tell someone “Hey, you’re an introvert!” they’ll think about it, then they’ll believe you, and they won’t ever try to be an extrovert.  They’ll just think, “Oh, I’m an introvert, I don’t have to go out and meet people.”  So…[Read more]

@rochellaine @seekjustice Well, lovely ladies, I have to depart now. I might be on for a bit tomorrow. Bye!

@jenwriter17 Well, out of only my four mainest characters, Chessy’s the only extrovert, and even then…she’s kind of an introverted extrovert 😛

@seekjustice haha, now that I think back I very rarely had an extroverted character! 😀

@jenwriter17 I remember Jax, but I don’t remember the characters vividly enough to really say if they’re this type or that. (I have an overabundance of introverts too! I guess I find it hard to imagine what it’s like being extroverted!)

@rochellaine I’ve heard of the movie, but I haven’t seen it or read the book.

haha, really? Don’t worry, we won’t attack you for not liking personality tests. 😉 is there a particular reason why you don’t like them?

@seekjustice realized I didn’t answer your first question. 😉 The only personality type I think I’ve decided on is for one…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Oh, that’s good. Mary Poppins is very awesome (or indeed, practically perfect).

(The concept of the movie is that there’s a curse on the Romanovs, which is why they all died. And the curse is trying to kill Anastasia. So it’s portrayed in a negative light…but yeah).

@rochellaine

Well, I…find it highly annoying. Like,…[Read more]

@seekjustice You should definitely read the novel.  The Princess Bride happens to be one of the very few stories with which the movie and book are equally good.  But the book is very different from the movie.

Well…I’m wondering where the love/hate relationship with the movie comes from, in that case? 😛  Glad you don’t think ridiculous is ne…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Awesome, I’ll check these out. Thank you! 🙂 I’ve heard of both Singin’ in the Rain and Oklahoma! but I don’t know much about them.

@seekjustice I have seen Mary Poppins and I love it. 🙂

Not sure about the magic part, it depends. As for scary, well, I believe my siblings could handle it. 😉

@jenwriter17 Oh, what types are you thinking so far? Hopefully, I’ll get time to do my promised blog post today, but we’ll see.

Have you seen Mary Poppins? I much prefer the Broadway/Australian version to the movie, but the movie is pretty good. the Anastasia animated movie is also really good (as long as you’re okay with a few scary moments and…[Read more]
