I haven’t listened to that in ages! I feel I need to rectify that at the next given opportunity.

Currently I’m proofing the short story version and another little story of mine which is being published in a book. (eep!!!)

And yep, I’m doing it, but I’m working on a few short stories for competitions and I’m setting my goal quite…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Why, yes, I am indeed. What are you up to?

@rochellaine

Sorry, I just was doing some cleaning, I’m having my quiet time now, but I’ll probably be on later.

The editing isn’t going as fast as I’d like, but I’m getting there. 🙂

@rochellaine

Oh, righto 😛

Well, yes, it is cool…especially in stories. very useful 😀

Well, by synopsis, I usually just scribble a sentence which will help me to remember it, or a quote or something. But it is annoying when you don’t write it down and you know you had a brilliant idea…but you can’t remember what it was. 😛

@rochellaine

Eavesdropping is always good in those situations 😛

occasionally I write scenes beforehand, but usually I just write a synopsis of the scene and then stick them together like puzzle pieces 😛

@rochellaine

Yeah, I did. But I think it worked okay, and like you said, it wasn’t for long.

And that would be a bit weird. So either you’d have to leave that scene out or put some more scenes in his pov beforehand.

@rochellaine

I used to write books with heaps of povs as well, but lately I’ve had to limit myself to about two, because otherwise I get overwhelmed. Two’s my favourite though, enough variation without being overwhelming. I think you could try doing some scenes from Derek’s pov, but it would be completely fine if you just did it exclusively with…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Definitely 🙂

It depends…some characters are so self-centred they want all the povs, some don’t. I feel like Chara wouldn’t mind. In fact, I think she’d be more than happy to share with Derek.

@rochellaine

It took me quite a while to really immerse myself in the style of blogging as well, its kind of different to other kinds of writing.

😛 Have fun with that!

@rochellaine

Awesome! Do I dare ask how its going?

@jenwriter17

No worries 😀

@dekreel @rochellaine @catwing

Anyone around? I’m editing.

@jenwriter17

No that’s fine! I just posted it because Rochellaine wanted to read it. I won’t be looking for beta readers until its done, and you’re welcome to read it then. Of course, if you don’t want to read it again, you don’t have to 😉

Oh, I forgot that Jen was away anyway 😛

By the way everyone, I would love to stay and chat today but I’m going out with my family and I’m not sure how long I’ll be gone for. Probably I won’t be around today 🙁

May your writing prosper in tue absence of the queen.

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 @valtmy and everyone else.

@rochellaine

Awww, thank you 🙂 You’re so sweet and encouraging.

Well, I guess for me, writing romance is no different to writing a psychopath like Theresa Caelan. It just requires a lot of imagination. And while I don’t really like reading romance, I may have a soft spot for writing it. Particularly Sapphire and Quillon. They warm my cold, hard heart 😉

@rochellaine Great!

@alia @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @sarah-anson @dekreel @valtmy @catwing @sleepwalkingmk

I’ve got here a short story which is actually an excerpt from the novel which most of you have already read. I’m planning to enter it into a competition and I’d love if you guys would read it over and tear it apart if you have to.

I’d also love to know if you…[Read more]

@valtmy

I just had my lunch, obviously a later lunch than you. 😀 Bye!

@rochellaine

Awesome 😀

@rochellaine

Well, you’ll have to hurry…before I die of suspense!
