Bye!

@rochellaine

Obviously what I would do is not to make everything more realistic (that would defeat the point of the humour). But what I would do is give more characterisation to the doctors and nurses so that it is clear they are meant to be taken as a joke (frankly speaking, I wasn’t laughing at those parts because I was…[Read more]

@seekjustice Goodbye, and please treat your patients better than my doctors and nurses treat theirs! 😛

@seekjustice Thank you!  That is how I intended it, so when Valtmy said it should be more realistic I was kind of confused.  I like realistic, but there’s a time and place for very unrealistic stuff as well. 😉  I just wanted to put a piece of craziness together, and I think that worked. 😛

@valtmy @rochellaine

Anyway, I’m going to first aid tonight 😀 Fare well!

@rochellaine

I think that, because its silly, slapstick sort of comedy and doesn’t matter. No one reading comedy is looking for something that particularly make sense. In the context of the story, it doesn’t bother me at all 😛

@seekjustice Ah, perfect. 😛  My sister has fallen asleep (which is actually a good thing…) so I can’t show her the story. 🙁 I can’t wait until tomorrow morning, because it’s the type of story she’ll love.

I have a question.  You gave me a lot of corrections on my medical personnel in my Western, so you’re probably the perfect person to ask a…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well, my family would probably think I’m a loony with the amount I’m laughing at the moment, so I guess so.

@seekjustice I assume that means you liked it? 😛

@rochellaine

My word. Gracious goodness. Glory be.

@valtmy @seekjustice Oh, I don’t think I allowed you commenting access.  If you want to comment, but can’t, you can probably use this link instead:

Or you can just tell me what you think here. 😀

@valtmy Okay, so when you said you were writing comedy, (yes, I already knew you were writing comedy, but you know sometimes your brain does different things at different times, right?) my brain had a flash that went something like “I love writing comedy.  I should write a comedy short story.” and then I started to write.  Starting from the f…[Read more]

@rochellaine  Okey dokey 🙂

*sits back to wait* *starts on math sums*

@seekjustice @valtmy It’s almost done.  Give me a few more minutes. 😉

@rochellaine

Wait, I did? When did this happen? Can I read it? 😛

@rochellaine

Ooh, interesting! What’s it about???

@seekjustice @valtmy Sorry for kind of disappearing!  I didn’t really go anywhere, it’s just that Valtmy gave me a great idea for a very short story and I got caught up in writing it and forgot to post for a while. 🙂

@valtmy

😛 My pleasure 😀

@seekjustice

Thanks! That was a nice article. I guess I can think of this scene as a… fireside chat scene. Without the fireside or the chat. 😀

@rochellaine

I know the feeling. But, hey, at least you can afford to have a slower pace and lots of time for introspection given the genre you’re writing. 😀

Mine’s a comedy so I need things to be light, fast and with a constantly moving and changing web of jokes so that the humour doesn’t get old… 😓

@valtmy

I wouldn’t worry about it too much at the moment, but if you’d like here’s a blog post I read yesterday about those kind of “quiet” scenes, if you’d find it useful: Click this link! (that doesn’t sound like a dodgy advertisement at all)
