Yeah, I see where you’re coming from. In my opinion, that’s where its difficult to balance in retellings how similar and how different you are from the original work. One of my other readers loved the similarities and some of them (like yourself) loved the differences. I have been leaning more toward cutting the Quillon and Rain…[Read more]

@valtmy Hello!  I didn’t get a chance to say hi before dinner happened. 🙂  Are you still here?  How are you doing?

@seekjustice

I think that’s where my perspective is different from others.  I would possibly represent the readers who have not read/do not know well the story of Les Miserables as I had but once skimmed through Les Mis a while before I read the first draft of Stars, and did not notice the connection, so I viewed it simply as a novel of…[Read more]

How’s SFI going?  You’re still not going to put Rain and Kendall back together, are you? 😉 😛

*thinks of all my favorite parts and hopes you’ll keep them* 😉

@valtmy @jenwriter17 @rochellaine

Anyone around at the moment? I’ve actually found some time to work on the third draft of SFI!
