@valtmy Haha, apparently I’m having the same trouble with Daughter of Judas. 😛  Trying to keep the customs and culture of the times, while making it not confusing and freaky to a modern audience is certainly difficult.

Well, of course. 😛  And no, you haven’t been portraying it as a positive thing, but you have been portraying it as sort of t…[Read more]

@valtmy That’s what happened to my western, unfortunately. 🙁  I definitely haven’t quit it, but I had to take a break because I wasn’t getting anywhere with it.

Ok, I went back and replied to your age question.  I didn’t see what other questions you had asked, though.  What were they?

@seekjustice Are you back from church yet?  What do you thi…[Read more]

@valtmy  I’m glad your writing is going well!! 😀 😀

(I’m not trying to imply that I’m glad you keep disappearing, by the way… XD)

@rochellaine  I’m pretty sure I’m on the second draft. Why?

Good! I’m glad! So now I know I DON’T want poison ivy. XD

A jackalope is like a giant rabbit with antlers. Look up pictures. 😉

@valtmy Thank you so much!  That’s very helpful. 😀

Have you convinced yourself to start working on your own project yet? 😛  You said you were having trouble with that.

@dekreel Aw, Kai. 😀  Hey, are you reading the first draft or the second draft?  (This is a VERY important question.)  😛  You’ll find out who he is soon enough.  He’s not my…[Read more]

@catwing  I like blog posts with art in them (like your comic) and life posts in general. Like the kind of stuff Ethryndal does (if you’ve ever read her blog).

@rochellaine  Hey hey! That’s fine. 😉 I’m at the part where Chessy is talking to Kai.

I’m very curious about this “boy…” *smirks* How’s your poison ivy doing, by the way? Any better?

Random-ish question: Would you disbelief a jackalope?

@catwing  Hullo! Good to see ya! How are you doing?

@catwing I wonder. 😛  Since it was apparently “obvious” at the time the Bible was written, it must have been later that the change took place.  The Pharisees and Sadducees did make up some pretty ridiculous rules, didn’t they?

Well, since that’s in the Bible, I know that. 😉  For holidays, my dad’s relatives start the holiday at sundown, but si…[Read more]

@dekreel Hey-hello-how-do-you-do-how-nice-to-see-you!  😛  Sorry for falling asleep on you last night. 😉  But I’m awake now!  It’s only 10:20.

@seekjustice Don’t worry, Dekreel will soon know who that “boy” is. 😛

What part are you on now, Dekreel?

@valtmy  @catwing  @rochellaine  @seekjustice  @whoever

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]

@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]

@valtmy Hey!  How’s it going?

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

@dekreel How about you?

@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]

@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?

@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]

@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  Yeah, that one. XD

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

Ahhhh, the life of a writer…

Yeah, definitely.

Sooooo…. *tries to think of something to say*

@dekreel Oh really?  Well be thankful you never have, and stay away from it! 😛  It’s not a whole lot of fun. 😉

Ohhh!!  The famous Stars Fill Infinity!  The most talked-about book on this forum!  The book I have written fanfiction for… 😛

Glad you’re getting a chance to read it.  What part are you on?

What am I doing?  I am trying to convin…[Read more]
