Oy! I’m beta-reading again!

@catwing Continuing our earlier conversation, I didn’t realize that was the kind of prayer shawls you were talking about. 😛  I thought you were talking about men’s prayer shawls, like in Fiddler on the Roof.  So do you mean that the women wore different prayer shawls from their everyday head coverings, (or veils, as I called it in my story,) w…[Read more]

@rochellaine @valtmy I’m here doing a bit of writing.

@rochellaine

I didn’t say you didn’t give enough info. I understood the “going to be late” thing was something that the reader doesn’t need to know now. It’s just jarring that this guy doesn’t know who Bathshua is but this other guy with him somehow does so I think an explanation is needed for that.

Sure I’ll be happy to take a look at your…[Read more]

@valtmy Thanks, I’ll take a look. 🙂

Well, I have one more thing.  You asked about what was going on with the guys, and said I didn’t give enough info.  I had written a parallel scene from the guys’ perspective, but just set it aside because I really, really want to have only Bathshua’s POV in this.  However, if you like you could take a look at…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hey. Just trying to get the motivation to start 😛

I’ve replied to your replies to my comments in your doc. Are there any other questions you want to ask me?

@valtmy Hey!  How’s it going?

@rochellaine @catwing @dekreel

I’m here now.

@catwing I’m sorry for disappearing!  I’m back now, though.  Are you here still?

@dekreel How about you?

@rochellaine I see.
They did prayer shawls back then. They’re basically shawls that women wore on their head when they prayed. I think they have tassels on the ends and something in Hebrew in a corner. You may have to look it up, because my info right now is spotty (it’s been a while). But now you know about them and can research. 😛
That sounds good.

@catwing My father was born a Muslim, and became a Christian in college.  I have lived in a mixture of Middle Eastern and Western cultures since I was born, learning to change my behavior depending on which side of the family I was visiting.  So I am drawing off my own experience and my study of the Bible for most of the cultural worldbuilding I a…[Read more]

@rochellaine you’re welcome.
I know some about Hebrew culture so hopefully I can spot something if you mess up. 😉
Do you know about prayer shawls, the special stick they use to keep their place while reading the Bible (I can’t remember what it’s called right now), or what Shalom means? I can tell you a little bit if you don’t and want to.
Have…[Read more]

@seekjustice @dekreel Sorry for disappearing.  As you surmised, I did fall asleep. 😛

@catwing Thank you so much for your comments!!  They are helping me figure out the setting and style better.  I have a LOT of research I need to do before this will be finished.  Thankfully, I do enjoy research. 😀

Are you here now?

@dekreel

Okay bye!

…maybe @rochellaine has fallen asleep again!

@seekjustice  In that case I should read that part soon. XD

I actually finished a long time ago, and I’ve been passing the time binge-reading all the comments for the KPA.

I didn’t put periods after some of my sentences and it DRIVES… ME… CRAZY!!!!!

Anyway, I think I’ll sign off now. Good to see you!

Byeeee, @rochellaine! you’ve probably…[Read more]

@dekreel

😛

No, you aren’t supposed to know, but everyone else does know and also know that I am rather obsessed with him. In fact, that he is my favourite character.

@seekjustice  I mean, if your sister didn’t know I’m not a fox, then that’s fine. XD Just be sure she doesn’t KEEP calling me a fox. 😉

I’m sorry, am I supposed to know who he is? It’s hard to keep track of characters…

@rochellaine

And I agree with Valtmy on the subject of your question. Its hard to tell whether its too obvious or not because we don’t know what the point of it is. However, it is very obvious. Its just about whether you want it to be obvious or not.

@dekreel @rochellaine I’m here now, polishing up my blog post for today.

Dekreel, please don’t be offended, but my sister just called you a fox. I know you’re sensitive to be called a wolf, but how do you feel about being a fox?

I just got to the part where Sapphire is trying to take Kai to the hospital with the help of Rain and another boy.

😀 I…[Read more]
