Oh. Oh. I’m intrigued.

I’m editing and eating cheese on toast. You?

😀 Few characters will ever go through what I have put mine through. Except Victor Hugo. He’s even more heartless than I am

@rochellaine

No worries 😀

What have you done??

@rochellaine

Oh, hello! How’s things going?

@valtmy

Okay, cool 😀

@jenwriter17

Ah, Jen! You changed your picture! You are now officially a person not a horse! How exciting 😀

@catwing

Yep, I’m back (got distracted doing dishes). How’s things? we haven’t spoken in a while.

@rochellaine

I’ll be around in half an hour or so, once I’ve finished my quiet time.

@valtmy

That’s good! There’s some books/shows I see and I just get dragged down and depressed by how dark they are. While straight-up comedy annoys me, I love humour in stories, particularly when they are very heavy (probably why I adore Charles Dickens)

Ah, interesting! I’ll have to look into it 😀

@valtmy

Right…I have to say I have never tried anything of the sort, so… 😀

All cool musicals! Particularly Les Mis :D. I haven’t heard of 42nd Street though.

@valtmy

Yes, definitely. Not that I like killing characters. Not at all. I must have been thinking of someone else’s WIP when I thought yours was a comedy. Either that or I just heard romantic parody and assumed it must be comedic because parodies usually are.

Oh yes, I adore German musicals. Particularly Mozart (the one I’m listening to…[Read more]

@valtmy

Poor @rochellaine 😀 She isn’t quite on board with the torturing/killing of characters yet. But we still love her 😛

I was watching a girl rant about The Greatest Showman, but I got bored so now I’m listening to German musicals.

@Valtmy

Yeah, I concern myself too. (And I concern @rochellaine too)

I’m watching things too when I should be torturing characters.

@valtmy

I love doing that to my characters. I’m just about to dump all of my characters into despair as well.

@valtmy @alia

What are you guys working on?

@alia @valtmy @rochellaine

Anyone around?

@rochellaine

Yep, I wholeheartedly agree. Only God can give people true life. Our characters can never come close to that!

Goodnight…good morning. 😀 Whatever it is.

@rochellaine

That’s so true! We’re all very different. For example, on the weekend we were visiting with a family who…have a much higher income (I would say are of a higher societal class, but that would make me sound like Jane Austen). And the differences were quite astounding, even though my family would hardly be classed as “poor”. The…[Read more]

@rochellaine

My parents aren’t from different cultures, but they’re definitely from different subcultures. And they definitely have a lot of different views of things. 😛

Very true. What I don’t like though, is when traditions become more important than the Bible. The preacher at our church on Sunday actually mentioned this, particularly in…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I guess its easy for me to see the Jewish traditions as silly because I’m not Jewish and I don’t think much even of Christian traditions, so I’m not really one for doing things just cause of the way things are.

Fyedka, though, is clearly labelled as an Eastern Orthodox Christian, so while Chava is definitely marrying outside her…[Read more]

@valtmy @rochellaine

Thanks for filling out the questions!

I added Chessy being adopted into the first book because I was tired of the whole “oh, wait, you’re adopted” sort of thing and I could think of no good reason why Jean wouldn’t tell her.

And yes, I wrote this as Christian fiction for a predominantly Christian audience.

What Rochellaine…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I liked The Fiddler on the Roof, but I felt it missed a lot of potential. I honestly didn’t like Tevye that much and I wished the story revolved more around the daughters, I especially wish they’d been more closure to Chava and the girl who married the Bolshevik, who’s name I forget. I felt it just….stopped.

I actually felt the…[Read more]
