@valtmy

Your opinions on Justice? Did you like him or not?

(Did anyone like Justice excepting my sister?)

@rochellaine @alia

Oooh, I love conflicting opinions! 😛

Personally, I believe he was too emotionless in the first book and waaay too angsty in the second. Neither side of Justice quite captures the glory of Enjolras, which was what I was going for.

@alia

Yep, in a nutshell 😀

@alia

I think that’s the way he’s supposed to appear for the most part, but hopefully I’m making him more human in the second draft.

Well, I think that taken out of context it fits them both perfectly. They aren’t so much wanting to be better in order to honour their parents, though, but rather to prove themselves. So its a bit different, but…[Read more]

@alia

Zac and Justice are both confusing full stop.

In some ways, I identified with Justice much more in the first book, but I’ll admit that I don’t really like his character in the second. I think he was just too different to the Justice we’d come to know in the first book and he kind of spiralled out of control.

Yeah, I think it does!…[Read more]

@rochellaine @alia

I don’t mind being held accountable to you who are on the other side of the world, because I’m already accountable to my sister for Quillon and she’s in the same bedroom. If Quillon dies, I die too. 😀

I fluctuate between adoring Justice and absolutely hating him. He could possibly die if I’m in a bad mood.

And no, Chessy…[Read more]

@alia

I would never, never, never kill Quillon. You have my word. He is the only safe character.

I did that on purpose (making Jonas’ death more impersonal). Death in war is not often a particularly personal thing, especially in trench warfare, and Chessy had also got to the point where she was overwhelmed and had to stop herself from caring so…[Read more]

@valtmy

Hey, I was wondering if you would do a favour for me? You’ve given me some invaluable feedback on Stars Fill Infinity but would you mind filling out the questions at the end of the second book? Just so I can get some more indepth thoughts on that one as well? Thanks!

@alia @rochellaine

Anyone around?

@jenwriter17

Wow! Its awesome! Its really pretty and I love your About page. You also look different to how I imagined you (but please don’t ask me how I imagined you because then I’d have to sheepishly admit that I was still imagining the steampunk horse 😛 )

@rochellaine

Well, that would have been clever if she could have got it to work. 🙂

Anyway I’m going to go to bed now because *gasp* its 10:15 I’ll talk tomorrow…or the day after or whatever 😛

@rochellaine

Well, hopefully I would. 🙂 I like that the leave the ending open to interpretation though, even if its kind of maddening 😛 I’m surprised that she didn’t show him the tiger door and then throw herself in to die with him in some tragic Romeo and Juliet type thing.

Which I’m glad didn’t happen, just so you know.

Okay, I’ll look it…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

I just love the whole idea of it. I’m currently reading the plot of the original short story 😛

Its funny because the sermon we were watching as I read the synopsis was about relationships between men and women, particularly dating, so it was very applicable 😀

@rochellaine

No I haven’t heard of him, this speaker is Louie Giglio from Passion Church in Atlanta. Have you heard of him?

I’m just looking at the synopsis. It looks pretty cool, especially the second story so far.

@rochellaine

I’m awake and watching a sermon with mg parents.

No I haven’t. I’ll look it up.

@valtmy

Never mind 🙂 People often point out my own misinterpretations of my own writing. At least you can be excused for mixing up minor details 😛

Well, originally he was there to get around the plot hole in Les Mis–the fact that no one recognised Javert until it was convenient, even though there were three people at least who should have…[Read more]

@valtmy

That’s good! I hope things make more sense in the second draft.

Well…that wasn’t Mathias who let them go. That was one of the wharf men.

Observe (that word makes me feel smart, you see):

Instead I met the eyes of a bearded man who looked even more startled than I did. His mouth was open, and he was staring down at Rain and I…

@rochellaine

Cool! I’ll see if I can get it to post now!

Ooh what soundtrack?

@valtmy @rochellaine

Sorry for the late reply, I was out all day yesterday and have only just got back from church now.

Basically, I fixed most of the things you pointed out Valtmy, in the second draft and I fixed it quite simply. Unfortunately though, I don’t know what to do with character of Mathias. :/

I agree with pretty much everything you…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Fair enough. I’m just trying to finish off a blog post so I can schedule it for tomorrow, since I’m going to be aware for most of tomorrow.

Editing is pretty good! I’m hoping to finish Part 3 tomorrow 😀

@rochellaine

I’ve just arrived but I probably will only be around for half an hour, then I’ve got dancing. How’s your story going now?
