@rochellaine I’ve heard of the movie, but I haven’t seen it or read the book.
haha, really? Don’t worry, we won’t attack you for not liking personality tests. 😉 is there a particular reason why you don’t like them?
@seekjustice realized I didn’t answer your first question. 😉 The only personality type I think I’ve decided on is for one…[Read more]

@seekjustice You should definitely read the novel. The Princess Bride happens to be one of the very few stories with which the movie and book are equally good. But the book is very different from the movie.
Well…I’m wondering where the love/hate relationship with the movie comes from, in that case? 😛 Glad you don’t think ridiculous is ne…[Read more]

Awesome, I’ll check these out. Thank you! 🙂 I’ve heard of both Singin’ in the Rain and Oklahoma! but I don’t know much about them.
@seekjustice I have seen Mary Poppins and I love it. 🙂
Not sure about the magic part, it depends. As for scary, well, I believe my siblings could handle it. 😉

@jenwriter17 Oh, no I haven’t answered yet. I think you asked me right as I was leaving one night, and I didn’t get a chance to reply.
So, let’s see…
Oklahoma! (1955) by Rogers and Hammerstein is really good. The antagonist is rather scary, but I think you said your siblings have watched mildly scary stuff before, right?
Singin’ in the Ra…[Read more]

@rochellaine Outlining my dystopian (a.k.a. trying to figure out the characters’ personality types 😛 )
@seekjustice Yay! I can’t wait to find out more about it. 🙂

@jenwriter17 Daughter of Judas. 😉 How about you?
@seekjustice Have you ever read the book?
Also…huge question here: When did ridiculous become a negative thing?

Jenna Terese replied to the topic Writers' Corner #20 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
@seekjustice Is your new novel for NaNoWriMo? My brother’s an ISTJ, so lemme know if you have any questions. 😉
Okay, I’ll keep praying!
@rochellaine I’m sorry if I keep asking you this and forgetting your answers, but what family-friendly musicals can you recommend? I’ve watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

@rochellaine Welcome back. 🙂 What are you working on?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #20 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
@jenwriter17 @seekjustice I got distracted reading about The Princess Bride, but I’m back now. 😉

@seekjustice Ah, you are older! *bows to my elder* 😛
What are you working on? Has there been anymore rain in your area (or areas that need it)?

@seekjustice Hi! 🙂 I feel like I haven’t been able to be on here as much lately.
Did your birthday already pass? If so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Mine is tomorrow, and I was wondering how far we were apart, and who was technically older. 😛

@rochellaine You still on?
@ariel-ashira @dragon-snapper @seekjustice @alia @catwing @valtmy @daughteroftheking Anyone else wanna join?

@seekjustice @valtmy @alia @catwing @dekreel Anyone around tonight?

I’ve just got to pop back in here and say it’s hilarious that you have Joe Bloggs in Australia. In America we have John Does. 😛
(At least I assume that’s what you meant by Joe Blogg.)
I will definitely answer your questions about his-fics in our next conversation. 🙂 Goodnight!

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #20 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
@valtmy Yes, it’s funny – and kinda sad – how wrong modern perception of history is. There are so many things the history books just don’t tell you, and so many things they tell you that are just fabricated because “winners write the history books.” 😉
Anyway, I’ve got to go now. Goodnight!

@seekjustice There are some GREAT modern his-fics, and there are some HORRIBLE modern his-fics. 😛
@valtmy Well, I can just say I’ve seen the type all over the place, in 1870s heroines, in 1910s heroines, 1930s heroines…you can see where this is going. 😉
Well, I don’t really see why that makes her more similar to the Southern Belle than to…[Read more]

@valtmy My reply to @seekjustice above covers some of what you’re talking about.
I agree that they’re a subset of the noblewoman/lady stereotype.
I don’t think they come from a specific time period, though. They originated in the pre-Civil War era, but they had existed before then, in women like Martha Washington and Martha Jefferson, and they…[Read more]

@seekjustice I read Anne Frank’s diary too, and I both liked it and hated it. 😛 I don’t know, I feel sorry for her because while she was not perfect by any means, I think perhaps if her family hadn’t been so messed up and her life hadn’t been so messed up, she might not have been so messed up.
But Agnes Lee’s diary is completely different! S…[Read more]

@valtmy Hi! You’re still here. 😀
Yes, I’ve figured out a plan. Not going to reveal it right now, though. 😉 My plotting and planning has been going great, but the writing itself is still going slowly. 😛 Hopefully I’ll have the next section done soon, though.
Do you have any examples of Southern Belles that you like or dislike?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #20 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
@seekjustice I see. Well…two true-life examples I can think of are Martha Washington and Agnes Lee. Martha Washington would probably not be defined as a “Southern belle” since she was Revolutionary era, and the idea of Southern belles started around the time of the Civil War, but she was from the South, and beautiful, and sweet, so I’m c…[Read more]
