I know, it’s not entirely perfect yet 😛

Concerning #4, I hadn’t even thought of the woman being arrested, but you’re right. She would be, 😛 I’ll have to fix that up.

#5 My idea was that he had her name “legally” changed to Chessy.

#6 And this is where I run into problems. Its all very well for Jean to change his name and hide so well…[Read more]

@valtmy @rochellaine

I do that everytime. I even went and copied the link, just never pasted it.

@dekreel Hey! We’re just discussing my New York Times Bestseller WIP.

@valtmy  Sounds tedious. 😛

I’m doing more fan stuff. As usual.

@seekjustice It took a while, but I found it! 😛  You said you had no idea where the pairing between Rain and Kendall came from?  Here’s the quote from your first draft:

I felt myself drifting off to sleep, the grass prickling my neck and tickling my ear. Then I smiled. “Hey, Rain, you’ve got a thing for Kendall, don’t you?”…

@valtmy

Well, it definitely doesn’t follow the conventions of a romance novel, but there is a lot of romance…

I think I’ve fixed the dystopian problem actually. Hopefully. I’ve read a lot about the expected conventions, and been working on worldbuilding, and it actually fits a lot more snugly into those expectations than I would immediately…[Read more]

I think I’ll try to hack away this plot hole a bit. How are y’all doing? 🙂

@rochellaine @valtmy

Here’s the rough draft I wrote the other day (really late at night 😛 ). It’s in omniscient pov, since that’s how most prologues seem to be done, but i’m still to decide whether the abrupt switch of focus at the end works? Let me know what you think 😀

@valtmy

Well, with Rain and Kendall, I honestly want to spend more time developing Kendall, because I feel like he could be a vastly interesting character if I just put a bit more effort to him. That will probably come at the expense of any romantic hints though.

(Honestly, I never met for them to be a romantic pairing anyway. They were just…[Read more]

@rochellaine

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?

@valtmy

Yep, and I think someone else might have mentioned it as well. And I tend to agree, so I changed it. Would you like to have a quick look at my rough draft for the new one? I feel you may like it, seeing as you insisted so warmly on a backstory between Jean and Caderousse  (which I also agreed on).

Most people didn’t comment on it,…[Read more]

@valtmy @jenwriter17 @rochellaine

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

@photobloggergal, Congratulations! I don’t know that I ever met you, but welcome back to KP. Most of us have left for the sister site Story Embers but I’ll tag the ones left so that they can check it out.

Anyone on?

@rochellaine @seekjustice @catwing @valtmy @alia @ariel-ashira @daughteroftheking @dekreel @warrenluther04

I’ve got a bit of time, so I’m on if anyone would like to join. 🙂

@kaymart I really like this bit! It makes me want to read more. 🙂

I’m going to tag some more people so they can read it too 🙂 @seekjustice @rochellaine @ariel-ashira @alia @catwing @daughteroftheking @valtmy

We are finally fully moved into the new house, just in time for Christmas!

…actually, barely in time for Christmas… 😛

But I have a chance to settle down and relax, and work on my Christmas presents now.  I just wanted to say hello and see if anyone was around to chat since I’ve been absent for a while and missed everyone…[Read more]

You saw Phantom? As in, the movie or the actual stage version? I enjoy both, but the stage version is superior.

@seekjustice  I saw the stage version. It was great!

My family has currently bamboozled themselves wondering whether you walk on the left side of the footpath or the right side.

Generally, we tend to walk on the right side since that’s…[Read more]

@seekjustice, @valtmy, @rochellaine, @ariel-ashira, or anyone else.

I’m still here for a bit longer.
