Oh a Les Mis retelling that’s interesting 😀 I might take a look at it one day when I actually have the time!

I’ve only ever read one Les Mis retelling before and that was, um, not really a retelling (Pratchett’s Night Watch). It featured a good Javert (an honourable cop) and a bad Valjean (a serial killer) who travelled back in…[Read more]

@seekjustice

LOL 😛

What are you working on now? And (this is really embarrassing to ask since I feel like I should know this by now) can you tell me what your book is about? I see mentions of Justice and Chessy here and there and I know there are links to your drafts floating about but (sorry about this) I never really got around to reading it…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Hey 🙂

Wow I prefer to wake in the mornings as well but not THAT early. Wish I could so so that I could be more productive 😛

@rochellaine

Precisely correct 😛

Goodbye and all the best 😀

@rochellaine

I get the feeling. Imagining all those scenes in your head is so much easier than writing them, isn’t it? 😉

Oh dear, you sound like you have a lot going on your plate. 😦

I think I told you this before but I’m in Singapore. I am, I suspect, precisely 12 hours ahead of you.

@rochellaine

Yes I’ve been waiting soooooo long for that to be resolved. 😆

@rochellaine

It’s… plodding along. There’s a few exciting scenes coming up followed by a quiet but necessary lull period (hope that I can find the motivation to push through those) then more exciting scenes…

Ah studies I can sympathise with that. All the best for your exams 🙂

@rochellaine

Hi I’m on now. How’s it going with your studies?

@sarah-anson

I don’t think I’ll be of much help but I’ve added a few comments! 🙂

@rochellaine @ariel-ashira

Yep it’s in the middle of the afternoon here. Goodnight to the two of you anyway 🙂

@rochellaine

The Singing Revolution is a rare non-violent movement against a very violent regime that actually succeeded. You can read more about it here. 🙂

Haha I know the Roaring Twenties is not exactly a decent period but I don’t think that can be said for any time in real life history. But I like the 20s and 30s as a setting for the shows I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah… so do you like the Singing Revolution in Estonia where the people won their independence through song? 😀

Aw… no flappers? 🙁 But I do like those outfits too. I imagine those skirts and hats coupled with the music of the Jazz Age… Gives off a classy vibe. 😉

@seekjustice

An Australian based fantasy makes me think of Ned Kelly for some reason. Maybe you can write about him and his band of outlaws in a fantasy setting. 😂

Yes the hanboks are so pretty. I can do research and stare at the pictures all day… ☺️

@rochellaine

Both rebels and monarchs are heavily romanticised in fiction but recent trends have favoured the underdog. So I have a soft spot for rulers who are trying to do their best to run the country but keep getting impeded by the Standard Rebel Heroes who think they know better despite their youth and inexperience.

Um… since most of my…[Read more]

@seekjustice

All my story ideas tend to be fantasy/historical pieces set in Asian cultures. My WIP is based on Korea, another project is on China and I have a story idea that is based on the nomadic sea tribes in Southeast Asia. I want to come up with one for Japan too since I am prolific watcher of anime but I guess I’ll have to see how it…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hmm… I’m not really sure what period is my favourite because I don’t really study history all that much… Maybe the Age of Enlightenment in the 1700s? Because that period has some of the monarchs I find the most fascinating like Frederick the Great, Maria Theresa and Catherine the Great.

I also like the Prohibition era in the US…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Haha that’s how I do things as well. For my WIP, the setting is based of historical Korea but considering the tone of my story I guess I can get away with some inaccuracies. But this time I have done research and found pictures of the clothes (called hanboks) that my characters wear in the story.

@rochellaine

Um… what do you mean…[Read more]

@rochellaine @seekjustice @ariel-ashira

Hey guys I’m on now. 🙂

Wow this is interesting. I’ve read Regency and Victorian era books before but never really thought about the fashion before.

@rochellaine

It’ll be a while before I can post any more chapters because they are still not quite there yet. 😂. How long is your hiatus going to be?

By the way, do feel free to leave your comments in the doc. Same goes for @seekjustice and @ariel-ashira since I’ve given you all access 🙂

@jenwriter17

Sure no problem. Just request for access 🙂

@seekjustice @ariel-ashira @anyone-who-is-lurking

Would you mind letting me know what is the name you use for your Google accounts? Because I have granted one of you access but I can’t tell who.
