My mother will be pleased to know the answer to that odd question.

I’ve got a weird question for you Americans. In Australia, we usually walk on the same side of the footpath as we drive on the road, that being the right side. My family has currently bamboozled themselves wondering whether you walk on the left side of the footpath or the right side. 😛

@valtmy

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. I’ve found that I enjoy very few books/movies with absent villains (and even ones like Lord of the Rings that have a largely absent villain in Sauron have very personal villains in Denethor, Gollum and Saruman).

I’m still scanning the archives of Puritan America, but for some reason I’m not thinking that…[Read more]

@valtmy

Well, the human antagonist is more a personification of the force of nature antagonist I had before. I thought that would help make it a bit more personal, rather than just a vague threatening presence.

Either would work. the villain is a surprise reveal sort of thing, so maybe an ironic name could work better.

@valtmy

Not much at the moment. I’m currently just making an antagonist for Wattle Fire and trying to find a good old, suitably weird Puritan name

@bluejay

Sorry, I didn’t mean to ignore you, I was just never notified about your tag, which is weird, but happens a fair bit.

I’d definitely be interested, but two questions. a) What’s it about? b) when do you want it read by?

And, how long is it?

@dekreel

Hello! Sorry, I was out last night, but I’m back now! You saw Phantom? As in, the movie or the actual stage version? I enjoy both, but the stage version is superior.

@rochellaine

The clip I saw of them was from several years ago, so they might have grown up a bit since then.

That’s fine. I have to go too, so I probably won’t be on again. I’ll talk later!

@rochellaine

I’m not sure that I have heard of it, but yes, it does sound a little too cheesy for me 😛

Is Collabro sort of like a teenaged boy band? I remember hearing a boy band sing “Stars” and it really blew me away. I wasn’t expecting them to do it so fantastically.

Have you tried contacting Hope Ann or Daeus, or someone?

@rochellaine

I have the main conflict and plot for 3 mostly sorted out, I just have to work in the subplots and manage to wrap up the whole trilogy. Which is the difficult part.

I’ve been listening to The Secret Garden a lot lately, but I don’t think I’ve really found any new musicals that I can think of. Excepting Ludwig2, which is a German…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I hear you on the crazy.

Nope, I haven’t restarted yet, I’m currently doing another round of edits on SFI. Particularly changing some of the things in regard to Justice’s coma 😛 )

@rochellaine

I was just about to see if you were around. I’m glad your finals are done (my friends all finished up with University a month ago). How’s life been other than school?

@rochellaine

Wouldn’t we all like a fictional writing mentor? 😛

And yeah, I think I filled out the survey on the first day it was sent out, otherwise I knew I’d never get around to it 😀

@valtmy

Thanks very much for your thoughts! I’ll definitely keep all those things in mind as I start my outline again 😀

(I would write a much longer reply, but my brain is super fuzzy and honestly not working that great 😛 )

@valtmy I put it in another post.

I was planning for it to be 90-100k.

@valtmy And I didn’t put the link in. *sighs*

@valtmy

Here’s the link. If you want, I can add more chapters when you’re done.

(Also, this is actually most of the stuff I wrote before NaNo. And it took me a while to pin down a good way to write Courageous’ stammer, so it is incredibly annoying in the first few chapters and I haven’t bothered to edit it yet).

@valtmy

If you’d like, I can put the first few chapters or so in a google doc for you to have a look at.

Only if won’t distract you too much for QoD.

@valtmy

….All of the above?

Seriously, I feel like it has every problem under the sun.

@valtmy

That’s good news 🙂

I’m currently planning out all the scenes on my corkboard, trying to get something to kind of work.
