I’ll write a bit! I’m not up for a word war, though. 😛 (And no, I’m not doing NaNo.)

@catwing I can probably word war in a few minutes.  I’ll let you know when I’m ready.

How’s NaNo going for you?

@catwing Hello! 😀

Brunch is amazing, isn’t it?  I mean, for breakfast, your choices are limited, but brunch can be anything!  There are so many possibilities!

Are you writing now?  Or did you just come for the food?

@valtmy Ah, big difference there. 😛  I see.  Yes, context is everything. 😉

@valtmy Okay.  Should I tag you as “brunch”? ( @catwing ) 😉

Haha, I guess it wouldn’t have done me any good to look it up, in that case. 😛  Good thing I asked you.

But did I hear aright?  Did your little, selfish Myeongwol actually feel pity for someone other than herself? 😮 😛

@valtmy Is it going any better after the word war?

What is a Hyunjoo? (I’m being lazy and not looking it up like I did with @seekjustice‘s “brumby” a few days ago.)

😛

@valtmy I got 383 words.

My last sentence:

A few words were spoken in hushed voices between themselves, but no one spoke to her.

@valtmy All right!  Here I go. 🙂

@valtmy I’m back now! 😀

@valtmy I don’t always do so, but I had a particular reason for using the meanings of names in this book, especially since name meanings were more specifically used in that time period than they are now.

I think we may have. It might have been Chara, though.  I think we concluded that (whichever one of my characters it was) my character would…[Read more]

@valtmy Yes, I think I’m keeping her name as Bathshua.  I’m expecting people to think it’s weird, but I’m also expecting them to pretty much accept it because it’s set in a time period they’re already going to think is pretty different, so a weird name won’t be so strange.  And I have a specific reason I need her to be named B…[Read more]

@valtmy Hello, I’m here!  I’ve actually been writing a poem, but didn’t see you were here until now that I’ve finished.

Guess I’ll get on to some serious work now, writing Daughter of Judas. 😉

How are you doing?  Is your character (sorry, I can’t spell her name 😉 ) still worried about how to repay that woman for her sacrifice?

@valtmy

I thought there was. The writing in ROF wasn’t bad but I thought it was rather lackluster compared to QOD. It wasn’t as funny and wasn’t really distinctive. Its an older work isn’t it? I’d say your voice has probably just improved.

I’m sure its been established that Courageous needs whipping into shape himself and is probably not capable…[Read more]

I liked it and I definitely think it has potential but I think it would need to be rewritten. The writing didn’t seem as good as in QoD and the characters didn’t seem as well developed, but maybe that’s just  because its shorter.

Courageous’s court, was what I meant. It basically goes round on the ideals of courtly love.

Yes, I suppose so. I…[Read more]

@valtmy

Well, I don’t think Juqing would like Courageous and he certainly wouldn’t like Courageous court. Whether Courageous would like Juqing or not, I’m not sure.

And yes, I think Juqing would definitely bully Courageous, and Courageous would probably run away to Antarctica.

@valtmy

I requested access 😀

I thought we came to the conclusion that he would be bullied horribly. But, the poor boy is bullied anyhow, so its just a matter of whether it would be better or worse.

@valtmy

There’s exceptions to every rule. But the time jumps are less noticeable in the book than the movie/musical because there’s so much extra stuff in there.

Honestly, I think its one of those tools that can be used very well and effectively, but often isn’t.

Most certainly 🙂

@valtmy

Huh, they’re all out of whack. That’s really weird.

Yeah, I think there would be people who wouldn’t enjoy your style, but once I got into it I really enjoyed it.

I have seen people do those time jumps in published books, personally I’ve never really liked it, but that could just be me. Still, I think you can make it work.

@valtmy

Hello! I finished reading QoD!

For some reason, this wasn’t posting…

@valtmy

I was about to say I lived in the future, but two hours probably isn’t enough to have read a completed first draft, so I’ll just say nothing at all.

I think its pretty good. It did take me a while to get used to your writing style, but that’s probably just what I’m used to reading/writing. I’m not entirely sure about the massive jump in…[Read more]

@catwing @valtmy

Aaaaaand I’m sorry but I have to leave unexpectedly. 🙁 Bye!
