@rochellaine Welcome! *bows*

@valtmy For me, I tend to concentrate on plot and characters in the first draft and who cares whether the words make any sense or not (as I’ve been reading through my draft I sometimes stop and stare at the ridiculous things I’ve written 😛 ). In the second draft, I embellish the plot and make sure the characters are…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Still slaving away at my editing. I’m getting closer to the end but I had to kill Rain again and that was upsetting 😢

I sympathise. I’ve felt like that all week. I’ve not done well at all.

@rochellaine @valtmy

I arrive!

@rochellaine

I’ll be on soon 🙂

@rochellaine

It is a retelling, after all 😛

Its another one of Charles Dickens novels, and its about a man who raises all his children to believe in nothing but facts and the whole novel is pretty much the consequences of that upbringing.

Well, my plan was that the MC would be one of those super cliché princesses, who’s kinda dramatic about ev…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I have so many new ideas all the time! 😀 My latest one is a retelling (I’m obsessed, I know) of Oliver Twist, with Waif as the main character. I’m thinking I might do a novella based on that one day in the future. My other idea that I’ve been nursing lately is inspired, but not a direct retelling of, Hard Times and its currently…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I look forward to it!

I’m still editing Stars, I think I’ve got about 20k left to go.

Awesome! I remember what I read ages ago being really cool. 🙂

@rochellaine

Oh. Oh. I’m intrigued.

I’m editing and eating cheese on toast. You?

😀 Few characters will ever go through what I have put mine through. Except Victor Hugo. He’s even more heartless than I am

@rochellaine

No worries 😀

What have you done??

@rochellaine

Oh, hello! How’s things going?

@valtmy

Okay, cool 😀

@jenwriter17

Ah, Jen! You changed your picture! You are now officially a person not a horse! How exciting 😀

@catwing

Yep, I’m back (got distracted doing dishes). How’s things? we haven’t spoken in a while.

@rochellaine

I’ll be around in half an hour or so, once I’ve finished my quiet time.

@valtmy

That’s good! There’s some books/shows I see and I just get dragged down and depressed by how dark they are. While straight-up comedy annoys me, I love humour in stories, particularly when they are very heavy (probably why I adore Charles Dickens)

Ah, interesting! I’ll have to look into it 😀

@valtmy

Right…I have to say I have never tried anything of the sort, so… 😀

All cool musicals! Particularly Les Mis :D. I haven’t heard of 42nd Street though.

@valtmy

Yes, definitely. Not that I like killing characters. Not at all. I must have been thinking of someone else’s WIP when I thought yours was a comedy. Either that or I just heard romantic parody and assumed it must be comedic because parodies usually are.

Oh yes, I adore German musicals. Particularly Mozart (the one I’m listening to…[Read more]

@valtmy

Poor @rochellaine 😀 She isn’t quite on board with the torturing/killing of characters yet. But we still love her 😛

I was watching a girl rant about The Greatest Showman, but I got bored so now I’m listening to German musicals.

@Valtmy

Yeah, I concern myself too. (And I concern @rochellaine too)

I’m watching things too when I should be torturing characters.

@valtmy

I love doing that to my characters. I’m just about to dump all of my characters into despair as well.

@valtmy @alia

What are you guys working on?
