Hi! I won’t be here long but it’s been a while since we talked, hasn’t it?

What’re you working on? 🙂

@rochellaine

Are you still around?

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17

I’ve woken up way earlier than planned so I suppose I should make use of the time to do some writing. I guess I’ll be here today. 😛

@seekjustice

Ah, I see. I guess that might also tie into your worldbuilding as well.

All right then I shall aim to meet your expectations and surprise you at the same time. 🙂 (That was a very weird sentence that I think only makes sense in storytelling).

I will need to make a move now. Do you think you’ll be on tomorrow?

@seekjustice

Oh. I must have misunderstood then. 😛

As one of your betas, I don’t think I gave you any feedback regarding your descriptions. Because I am the last person who should be doing that. Was that a common issue the others pointed out?

Yes, it’s amazing how these stories are as much of a learning experience for our characters as it is…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Oh dear. You got an impression of my extreme discomfort with descriptive writing just from reading some of my writing? I really need to improve. 😛

It’s just that I see everything so clearly in my head so it’s hard to figure out how to convey all that to the poor readers who don’t see. I’m the sort of reader who skips descriptive…[Read more]

@seekjustice

All right. I’ll just leave myself a note there. I’ll have to think of how to make it less abrupt since I really had nothing else planned for that scene. The first idea I have is to just put in some description of the ambience and zoom out into the night sky but that works better for movies, I think. I always get the feeling that I’m…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I see. For me I don’t really outline. I have the ending in mind and I know what is suppose to happen in the next few chapters but nothing beyond that (Like I said, I’m writing by faith). Tying everything together in the climax is going to be tough but I just need to get myself more motivated to actually write first before worrying…[Read more]

@seekjustice

😛 In essence, you could have just distilled it to, “It’s back to square one for Wattle Fire.” (Not in terms of writing, of course, since I’m sure you gained some insights on that. But as a reader waiting for it, it is square one).

I’ve got good and bad news for you too.

Good news is that I’m preparing QOD Part 3 for upload.

Bad…[Read more]

(crawls out from the brink of oblivion)

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17

Hey, anyone around?

@seekjustice

It’s a musical which sort of partially inspired QOD. I watched it back when I was staying in London. It is not a deep show by any means and the plot and character development is not there but I listen to some of the soundtrack when I do my writing for QOD. 😛

@seekjustice

I get the feeling. Always get that after watching a good show. Got it for QOD after watching 42nd Street. 😛

Sooner or later? That’s a crucial phrase you inserted there. 😛

@seekjustice

Hi good to know you enjoyed yourself at Les Mis. 🙂

So how inspired are you now for SFI/Wattle Fire? 😛

@seekjustice

Oh dear. In that case hopefully it’ll be a bad production and you wouldn’t feel inspired at all!

(Just kidding. Please enjoy yourself). 😛

@seekjustice

Well, hopefully you’ll leave the show feeling even more inspired! 😀

Nope, no daylight savings here. I think it is an obsolete concept. It started out as a way to conserve energy right? (More daylight, less energy used for lighting). But I think people will be wasting energy regardless nowadays.

@seekjustice

All right. Talk to you another time. 🙂

How exciting! I know you listen to the soundtrack but is it your first time watching the musical live? 😀

Ah, yes. Daylight savings. That explains why the time stamps on this forum are different. The whole concept of it escapes me though. 😛

@seekjustice

Looks like we both missed each other yesterday. 😛 But I can probably come on again in about five and a half hours if you want. Let me know if you are free to chat today.

I think you are actually three hours ahead of me? (Which is weird because I could have sworn it was two last time). So that’ll actually be 3.30pm for you? I’m not sure. 😛

@seekjustice

Hey so are you around now?

@seekjustice

Sorry will be working so won’t be able to join. 😛 However, I should be able to chat during my break (in about 4 hours which is about 2.30pm for you?). Let me know if you want to.

@jenwriter17 @catwing

I would invite you guys too but I don’t want to promote the bad habit of staying up late on the comp. 😛

@seekjustice

Good to know that my comments have some basis then 😀
