Hahaha

That’s hilarious 😀

@seekjustice @jenwriter17

Hello there! 😀

How’s it going with you two?

@seekjustice

Signing off now.  Nice chatting with you!

Happy writing!

@seekjustice

Well, I really liked the first draft of the first book, which I think wasn’t originally intended to be a retelling at all, if I recall correctly?  So unless you feel it’s necessary to go along with your original plans, I’m sure you’d do great with a non-retelling plot.  Or maybe you could do something Scarlet Pimpernel inspired, w…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Yeah, adding a satisfactory ending would be really hard after that.  I mean, if you had a new leader come in and save the day just before Zac is killed, readers would probably laugh at it as too convenient.  Whereas if you had all the executions attract the new leader’s attention, but he got there right after Zac’s death, that w…[Read more]

@seekjustice

What kind of ending would a duology need?  A new leader and form of government and they all live happily ever after?  Or just a sparkle of hope that someday in the future things will get better?

The wedding is scheduled for the beginning of March.  We were planning a big wedding, but at this point we’re not sure how many people wo…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Ah yes, that was a fun book.  Weren’t you going to dissemble it and combine it with the Quillon story?

Well, the one I did for them previously was a musical, with four songs.  And musicals are usually more fun than just straight plays.  So, although I haven’t decided on what songs to write, I plan to write a few if I can.

It’ll ju…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Wonderful!

What are you working on?

I’m just getting started on a new play for my little sisters.  My youngest sister has been begging me to write another one before I get married, so this is a rush job.  Has to be done by the end of the month. 😉  I’ve been trying to think of an idea, and finally got one a couple of days ago, an…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Hey there!  Are you still here?

@jenwriter17 @alia @seekjustice @valtmy @gracie-j

Anyone around?  I’ll be here for a little bit, trying to figure out how writing works again. 😛

@gracie-j Your tips to @devastate-lasting about kiss scenes were super helpful! I meant to ask about a kiss scene I plan to rewrite because I was in a rush (aka NaNoWriMo) and it basically turned into a lot of YA fluff. I think I know how to approach it better now, thanks 🙂

@alia @seekjustice

I’m going to have to go now.  It was great chatting with you!

Hope to talk again soon.  Happy New Year and write on!

@alia

Oh yes!  We’re going to have to get together – with @jenwriter17 too – sometime once you’re here.  What are you planning on studying?

Visiting with family is really great. 🙂  I’m sure being an aunt is awesome.  My brother and sister-in-law live next door, and they’re going to have a baby in the spring, so we’re terribly excited about tha…[Read more]

@alia

Hey there!  How are you?

How have your holidays been?

@seekjustice

Well, that should be fun, if you do get them.  How old are they?

Yeah, that’s pretty much what they looked like. 😀  Ten is a lot.  But I think that’s a normal size litter for Pyrenees.  She had nine last time.  She’s a great mom, too.  Usually large breed dogs like that tend to accidentally sit on their babies the first week or so…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

A word war is where you and another writer (or writers) get together and choose a short amount of time, usually five, ten, or fifteen minutes, and then you write as fast as you can during that time, without checking grammar, spelling, or facts.  Then when the time is up, you count the words you’ve written, and see who’s written…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Historical, alternate world, pirates…well, that sounds like a lot of fun. 😀

Haha, I did the same thing with knitting.  I got the basic stitch down and lost interest. 😛

Congratulations! 😀  So are you an official dog trainer now?  What breed are the new ones you’re hoping for?

Our Pyrenees mama had ten babies a couple of mo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Hey there!  Nice to see you even if you aren’t staying. 🙂  How have your holidays been?

@godlyfantasy12

Have you ever done word wars?  Those are great anti-procrastinating games. 😉

@seekjustice

Well, if it’s got magic, I’ll just wait for your next his-fic. 😉  I’m sure it’s really well written, though.  Your stuff always is.

Have you ever tried crochet?  That’s what I prefer.  I think people usually like one or the other, not both. 😛

Haha, I’m cold all year long too.

Too bad.  Hopefully you’ll get to see Sigh…[Read more]
