Eavesdropping is always good in those situations 😛

occasionally I write scenes beforehand, but usually I just write a synopsis of the scene and then stick them together like puzzle pieces 😛

@seekjustice Yes, I think so too.  I’ll either have to find a way to make the story work with out that scene, or have Chara watching or something, so she can describe it, or else just find a few more scenes that I can do from Derek’s perspective.

I think I might be able to have that scene from Chara’s POV if she’s watching it happen or listening…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yeah, I did. But I think it worked okay, and like you said, it wasn’t for long.

And that would be a bit weird. So either you’d have to leave that scene out or put some more scenes in his pov beforehand.

@seekjustice And yet you used Zac’s POV in When Infinity is Empty which made it three. 😉  But that was only for a few pages.  And it was pretty necessary.

I’ll consider it.  Most of the scenes I have planned will very much not work with any POV but Chara’s.  I thought if I did a second it would probably be Raelyn for a few scenes, but I just…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I used to write books with heaps of povs as well, but lately I’ve had to limit myself to about two, because otherwise I get overwhelmed. Two’s my favourite though, enough variation without being overwhelming. I think you could try doing some scenes from Derek’s pov, but it would be completely fine if you just did it exclusively with…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hm, I guess you’re right.  Besides, she’d probably love to have something in common with Derek, huh? 😛

It was an empty threat anyway, since I don’t intend on using Derek’s POV except as a last resort.  All the scenes I have planned work best from Chara’s POV, and I’m trying to experiment with using only one, since I usually have s…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Definitely 🙂

It depends…some characters are so self-centred they want all the povs, some don’t. I feel like Chara wouldn’t mind. In fact, I think she’d be more than happy to share with Derek.

@seekjustice Yes, I’m sure it’ll take me a while, too.  I’ve done lots of kinds of writing, but this is different from all of them. 😛

Ohh, no.  Not fun.  I have no idea what’s going on inside Chara’s head right now, and she’s not letting me see it.  Think if I threaten to switch to Derek’s POV she might behave? 😛

@rochellaine

It took me quite a while to really immerse myself in the style of blogging as well, its kind of different to other kinds of writing.

😛 Have fun with that!

@seekjustice Since I’ve only written about three blog posts, I’m still having quite a bit of trouble figuring out the style of that. 😉

I’m opening my western now to see if my characters remember me or if I’ll have to introduce myself to them all over again.  I’ll let you know how that goes.

@rochellaine

Awesome! Do I dare ask how its going?

@seekjustice Hi, I’m here!  Possibly working on a blog post, possibly working on my western. 🙂 Neither of which has been touched in weeks. 😛

@jenwriter17

No worries 😀

@dekreel @rochellaine @catwing

Anyone around? I’m editing.

@seekjustice Okay, awesome, thank you! And I definitely want to read it when it’s done 😀

@jenwriter17

No that’s fine! I just posted it because Rochellaine wanted to read it. I won’t be looking for beta readers until its done, and you’re welcome to read it then. Of course, if you don’t want to read it again, you don’t have to 😉

@seekjustice I just realized that the link you gave Rochellaine was the second draft of your first Stars. I’d hate to back out on this, but do you mind if I wait on reading until it’s done (that is, if you were wanting us to read the second draft)? I have two other alpha readings that I’m doing, plus trying to get my website up + life stuffs, and…[Read more]

@dekreel Hey, Dekreel!!  I see you on SeekJustice’s document.  I feel like I barely know you anymore, you’re never around!  Are you on right now?

sorry y’all, signing off for now…. 🙁

@seekjustice Ooh awesome! The contest wouldn’t happen to be the SE one would it? (or maybe that’s already closed…?). I’d love to read/comment on your short story! 😀

@rochellaine @alia @dekreel @dragon-snapper I think I can be on now. Forgive me if I randomly disappear or my responses are really long in coming, the internet where I’m at is pretty bad.

Oh, I forgot that Jen was away anyway 😛
