Hello, m’friends! I did not expect to be able to be on here while out of town, but here I am. 🙂 I’m writing and working on blog stuff, if anyone would like to join me. 😉

@rochellaine @seekjustice I tagged you guys on SE for the Prayer Requests topic….thought you might like to be a part of it!

(I still stalk the stuff on here! 😀 )

@seekjustice

Yes, they look like a boy band, but they sing very differently from how you’d expect a boy band to sing. 🙂  I don’t think they’re teenagers, though.  At least not anymore. 😉  And yes, I love their versions of Stars and I Dreamed a Dream.

No, I haven’t.  I think it’s a problem with my computer, not with the website, so I’ll try a f…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I just have to work in the subplots and manage to wrap up the whole trilogy. Which is the difficult part.

…yeah, not complicated at all…right? 😛

I’ve been humming Bye Bye Birdie a lot over the past few weeks.  Not sure why. 😛  Have you ever heard of it?  You probably wouldn’t like it. 😉  It’d be too cheesy for you.  But the…[Read more]

@seekjustice

😉

Well, that’s cool too.  How’s the outlining for book 3 coming along?

Have you listened to any new musicals lately?  I’ve been thinking of looking up some new ones but haven’t really had the chance yet.  Now that finals are over I probably will. 🙂

For some reason my computer hasn’t been loading the Story Embers page the past fe…[Read more]

@rochellaine @seekjustice

Good to know that your exams are over. 😀

I’ll be going off for a church camp so I”m afraid I won’t be around this weekend. I will be free on Tues/Wed (or Mon/Tues depending on the time difference) though so I would probably be around then.

Talk to you guys another time! 🙂

@seekjustice Hello!  😀

Life has been crazy these past couple months, as we still haven’t quite finished with the move.  The closing date on the house has been pushed back and moved around and a whole bunch of other things to do with the move have been just problematic.  But we’ll hopefully finally get into the house in a couple of days, and we…[Read more]

@seekjustice @valtmy @dekreel @bluejay @catwing

I’m free!  Finals are over.  Now I can really write again without worrying about having to study. 😀  Anyone want to join me?

@seekjustice

I’m looking at the Story Embers survey they sent out about how to improve their site, and having mixed thoughts from “cool” to “weird” to “that’s totally a loaded question” to “funniest thing ever!” 😛  Did you fill out the survey yet?

The question that made me really laugh was this one:

On a scale of 1 (least) to 5 (most), how…

I’ll (hopefully) be writing a bit.

@seekjustice

No problem. 🙂 Take everything I say with a grain of salt though because I belong to the “Begin as late as you can and leave as early as possible” and the “If the reader has likely read a hundred other such scenes and can imagine what will happen, don’t show it” schools of thought… which I don’t think is very suitable to your…[Read more]

@seekjustice

All right. I read it and liked what you have so far. 🙂 Here are some thoughts I have that may help you. I think this may be more suited to assist with refining a first draft to a second draft but hopefully some of it can apply to a Draft 1.5 as well.

#1: Word count is about 9k which I think is fair for the set-up of a 90-100k…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I can’t find the link?

By the way, just to get an idea on the proper pacing, can you let me know how many words you’re planning to have for this novel?

@seekjustice

All right, a few chapters won’t take too long. Not sure how much insight I can glean from that but I’ll do my best. It’s in my interest to help you get Wattle Fire done as soon as possible after all. 😛

@seekjustice

Hmm… tough. I’ll offer to help if you let me take a look at your 50% NaNo draft so that I can try to see what exactly are the issues here… (An excuse to ask you to let me read some of Wattle Fire early!) 😛

But since I don’t know the full extent of your outline and what you have planned, I’m not sure any advice from me would be…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I see. What’s the main issue you’re facing on that? The pacing, the logical flow of events, the scene structure…?

I realised that I have jumbled up the sequence of one or two scenes for QOD in Part 2 so the story does not necessarily progress in a linear fashion and am wondering whether I should change that. But that’s an issue…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Can’t wait for Part 3? 😉
I have tidied things up and filled in some of the blanks I had initially left but I think I have to write a few more scenes for Chapter 9.

How’s Wattle Fire coming along?

@seekjustice

I would ask how exactly you’re able to come onto the forum while “in the throes of washing up” but considering that I once played the character game with you while soaking in a pool, I guess I’ll refrain.

All right, see you later. 🙂

@seekjustice

Hello I have the day off so I’ll be here today. Are you around? I know that it’s still Sunday for the others so you’re probably the only one who might be. 😛
