I’m afraid if I end up too much more inspired for SFI I might abandon Wattle Fire to the dust and I really don’t want to do that.

I’m not sure why it started. I know my grandfather, who was a dairy farmer hated it, because it meant getting up in the dark to milk the cows, whereas before daylight savings it would be almost light or light…[Read more]

@valtmy

I’ve never seen it live before, so hopefully it’s a good production!

You don’t have daylight savings?

@valtmy

I probably won’t be on the internet much today and I’ve got dancing…and I probably won’t be on tomorrow either because…

…I am going to see Les Miserables!

We’ve just gone into daylight savings, which meant we moved our clocks forward, thus making it three hours instead of two. It’ll be back to two in March.

@valtmy I don’t know if you are still here, but yes, I’m here now.

@catwing

No we don’t have thanksgiving. 😛

Definitely! Fifteen minutes? Let me go get some essentials and then I’ll be ready.

@valtmy

All righty! I’ll see you then. The only things I have to do today is clean up a lot and write a lot, so I should be here then.

@valtmy That’s only 11! That’s not too late! I’ve been staying up past that… 😬
I’ll probably still be on…

@Catwing

Still here? I’m behind so I need a bit of encouragement (aka, chocolate and word wars).

@rochellaine @valtmy @jenwriter17

Anyone else?

@rochellaine @seekjustice @ariel-ashira @alia @valtmy @dekreel @jenwriter17
I’m here writing, if anyone wants to word war I’d be happy to.

@valtmy

I just looked up the genre conventions of dystopian fiction and my novel includes all of them, though they are pretty severely underdeveloped 😀

@valtmy

But, technically speaking, its hardly a contemporary… 😛

@valtmy

I know, I seem to have worked myself into a tight genre spot. I can’t really think what I could market it as though. It doesn’t really fit anyway.

Oh well, I’ll see how it turns out after the third draft.

@valtmy

I know. But I’m so easily distracted! And yes, I know you want to read Wattle Fire 😀

oh, and I liked what you said about the worldbuilding. That actually makes a lot of sense, because I’m not entirely sure why I find the worldbuilding for SFI so difficult, since I’ve found the worldbuilding for Wattle Fire, which has a lot more intense…[Read more]

@valtmy @rochellaine

Maybe I just like letters? I write a lot in real life.

I’ll have to think over all the stuff you’ve said, but I did just want to point out that he does move from the Capital to his current house. He grew up in the Capital and that’s where his business was. He moved to his cool garden after the financial crisis.

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @alia @dekreel @valtmy @ariel-ashira I’m here writing. 🙂

@valtmy I see.  Yes, regarding worldbuilding that makes sense.

Well, in that case I think Jean would be stupid to be living still in the same city instead of relocating to another city or country.  The world is huge, and he can go anywhere he wants to, as he has a lot of money (I think that was established, right?) so why would he stay right t…[Read more]

@seekjustice

My first thought on reading your question was on how that would impact the original confrontation between Caderousse and Sapphire.  If Caderousse had been observing and examining the Verde family for years in attempt to find a pretense to arrest Jean, (or something similar, I’m not sure exactly what you’re intending here, but the…[Read more]

@valtmy

For some reason I never got notified that you’d replied 😀

I know, I’m so easily distracted! (and yes, I’m waiting eagerly for the next part!)

most of them, a few pulled out, but I have several thousand (getting close to 15-20k) words  worth of feedback, so I have enough to go on.

I was considering talking to @rochellaine about it…[Read more]

@valtmy

I’ll be around for a bit 😀 I’m supposed to be drafting, but instead I’m pondering problems in Stars Fill Infinity.

@valtmy @seekjustice Alas I must also vanish into the night and sleep. Farewell. *grins* *vanishes*

@catwing @seekjustice @valtmy I’ll be leaving now.  Happy writing!
