I’m writing and getting distracted by plot bunnies, if anyone wants to join me. 😉

@valtmy

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. I’ve found that I enjoy very few books/movies with absent villains (and even ones like Lord of the Rings that have a largely absent villain in Sauron have very personal villains in Denethor, Gollum and Saruman).

I’m still scanning the archives of Puritan America, but for some reason I’m not thinking that…[Read more]

@valtmy

Well, the human antagonist is more a personification of the force of nature antagonist I had before. I thought that would help make it a bit more personal, rather than just a vague threatening presence.

Either would work. the villain is a surprise reveal sort of thing, so maybe an ironic name could work better.

@valtmy

Not much at the moment. I’m currently just making an antagonist for Wattle Fire and trying to find a good old, suitably weird Puritan name

I’ll try to write tonight. . . Anyone here??

SeekJustice, Rochellaine, I have some pretty great news for either of you. . . I’ll tell it to anyone though haha.

@seekjustice @rochellaine @alia @ariel-ashira @valtmy @catwing @dekreel @dragon-snapper @warrenluther04

Hello, m’friends! I did not expect to be able to be on here while out of town, but here I am. 🙂 I’m writing and working on blog stuff, if anyone would like to join me. 😉

@seekjustice @valtmy @dekreel @bluejay @catwing

I’m free!  Finals are over.  Now I can really write again without worrying about having to study. 😀  Anyone want to join me?

I’ll (hopefully) be writing a bit.

@rochellaine  @seekjustice  @valtmy  @jenwriter17  @alia  @bluejay  @………

@bluejay I’m working on another beta reading project at the moment, and I won’t be able to take another one on for a while. Sorry! 🙁

But I’ll tag a bunch more people for you 😉 @rochellaine @alia @ariel-ashira @daughteroftheking @kaya-young @warrenluther04 @valtmy

@valtmy

Thanks very much for your thoughts! I’ll definitely keep all those things in mind as I start my outline again 😀

(I would write a much longer reply, but my brain is super fuzzy and honestly not working that great 😛 )

@valtmy I put it in another post.

I was planning for it to be 90-100k.

@valtmy And I didn’t put the link in. *sighs*

@valtmy

Here’s the link. If you want, I can add more chapters when you’re done.

(Also, this is actually most of the stuff I wrote before NaNo. And it took me a while to pin down a good way to write Courageous’ stammer, so it is incredibly annoying in the first few chapters and I haven’t bothered to edit it yet).

@valtmy

If you’d like, I can put the first few chapters or so in a google doc for you to have a look at.

Only if won’t distract you too much for QoD.

@valtmy

….All of the above?

Seriously, I feel like it has every problem under the sun.

@valtmy

That’s good news 🙂

I’m currently planning out all the scenes on my corkboard, trying to get something to kind of work.

@Valtmy

Well, the phone screen was spattered with foam once I finished 😛

How’s QoD coming along?

@valtmy

I’m currently in the throes of washing up (😝 ), but I’m sure I’ll end up back here eventually.

@seekjustice @valtmy I am here now.

@seekjustice Well, that’s a good thing I guess. 🙂

Christmas songs are not annoying!!! 😛

Do you dislike Christmas songs because they talk about snow on Christmas?  (Bigger question I’ve been planning to ask you: do you have Australian Christmas songs?)  My family starts singing Christmas songs on Thanksgiving, though this year we started on t…[Read more]
