I am not sure if I am remembering this correctly but from what I learnt in my bible study, whether the names are Jewish or Greek can indicate the person’s background and origin. So I guess you should look at what type of name your MC’s family, given who they are as people, would give her.

@seekjustice I love research! But since I think it will take an extremely long time to research for this project and I really want to write it now, I’m going to do the research later. I know the culture very well, since it’s very similar to my dad’s culture, and I’ve compared and contrasted the cultures a lot, and that’s what I need most for t…[Read more]

@valtmy Yeah, totally fine. 😛 Different cultures. Anyway, the word people usually would use in polite company here would be the milder form with the same meaning which starts with “c”. As you can see, I don’t even use that one, but I have a few friends who do, and it’s totally not considered bad, like the other one is. 😉

I’ve read it. It’s interesting so far and now I’m curious as to how much trouble she’s going to get in just because of that broken sandal. But, yes, @seekjustice is right. Bathshua is a mouthful to say. 😛
But considering my MC’s own name… 😅 I have no problems pronouncing it myself of course but others less familiar with Korean w…

@valtmy Sure, you can read it. I’ll give you the link to the opening, which is what I showed SeekJustice. It’s purely unedited, and I don’t want comments right now, other than stuff like “that sounds interesting” or “that’s a kinda weird idea.” 😛 An…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hi! I’m falling asleep, so I probably won’t be on much longer. Terrible for my poor heroine, though, since she’s stuck in a horrible situation, and since I’m not used to writing horrible situations I can’t get her out of it… 😮 😛
Ah yes, I remember. The musical that’s in German.
I have a pen from China with an origami crane on…[Read more]

@valtmy Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I’m talking about Bathshua from Daughter of Judas, so she’s nearly the same age as your MC, perhaps a little older, but I think she would definitely look down on your character as stupid and annoying. 😛 However, right now she’s in a tough place where she’d be thankful for any kindness, and your c…[Read more]

@seekjustice Cool, let me know if you do. 😀 Oh, you’ve probably heard of Russ Tamblyn because he plays the absolutely adorable youngest brother, Gideon, in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, which is the movie nearly everyone here has seen but you, and everyone loves to talk about, but which you probably wouldn’t like because no one dies in it.…[Read more]

Your way sounds far more effective than my cringing-over-each-word-I-type. 😛
Hey. See you later.

@seekjustice It’s “Gee Officer Krupke” from West Side Story. West Side Story is a Romeo and Juliet retelling set among the New York street gangs during the 60s. So the boys in the song have New York accents, like the Newsies, and the song is complaining about the adult authority figures, like Newsies. It’s a bit different though. Hope you lik…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh my goodness! I was just watching a song clip (that we’ve seen before) with my sister and laughing over it with her, but it really reminded me of Newsies! Since you love Newsies so much, I think there’s a chance you might like it. 😉 Are you able to watch YouTube today?

No, I am not turning traitor to SE.
What I am, though, is starting a new job next week which means that I won’t be able to come on as often as I used to (goodbye Writer’s Corner). 😭
However, I will still drop by to check out the forums, especially for the beta reading for QOD which I am continuing to write. So tag me and…[Read more]

Ooh yeah that feeling sucks 🙁
Since I’ve never really completed a novel-length project like this before, how different would you say your first and second drafts are in terms of the writing? I think the reason why I am progressing so slowly is because I am pressuring myself to get the prose all right the first time so I want to put…[Read more]

Hey so what are you working on?
I am reviewing what I’ve managed to write on my phone yesterday and it’s… 😅 Hope today will be better.

@alia Well, I got 346 words, but I’m afraid I’ll have to delete a lot of them. I was definitely not on a roll, and am very unhappy with what I wrote. 🙁
Oh well, see you later!
@seekjustice @valtmy Are either of you ready to be on yet?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #18 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago

Anyone else here? @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @valtmy @dekreel @catwing

@jenwriter17, Are you sure? I mean you were a horse and then some cars. So are you sure you’re a person?
@seekjustice, @rochellaine, @valtmy, @catwing
