@rochellaine For some reason I didn’t see that til now.
But I got 284.

I have to go to bed now. Good night. 🙂

@rochellaine I’m doing good. I’m entering a writing contest next week, where you write a short story under 1,000 words in 48 hours. 😀

Does 15 minutes sound good?

@rochellaine Yep. 🙂
How are you doing?
Did you want to word war?

@jenwriter17 I’ll be around if you decide to come back.

@theresa-play @rochellaine @seekjustice @dekreel @snapper @ethryndal @jessirae I’m on for a while. If anyone wants to Word War or something.

@seekjustice @rochellaine @theresa-play @catwing @valtmy @ariel @dekreel @snapper

I’ll be writing for a while. Anyone want to join me?

@seekjustice @rochellaine @catwing @valtmy @kendra-lynne @dekreeal @snapper. @theresa-play @alia

I’m writing now for a bit.

@selah-chelyah @ashira

I have eight of the Elsie books and have never liked any of them 😛 As @rochellaine said, way too dramatic and ridiculous, as well as suffering from some unfortunate racial portrayals (as does pretty much any book from the time).

@rochellaine  @ashira

Yeah, I agree with you. There is not any 1900’s Christian fiction that I really like, let alone profit from, anymore. The Elsie books were fine for when I was younger, but they are very melodramatic and highly unrealistic to me now! It becomes obvious very fast that Martha Finley never got married and had a family of her…[Read more]

@rochellaine Eh, its been several years.  And yes 1800s Christian fiction is way melodramatic. 😛

I didnt really care why they screamed, mad, happy, whatever.  It was just a problem.

Yeah, that makes sense.

@rochellaine  @ashira

Hey, I don’t mind the Elsie Dinsmore books! I am curious as to whether you read them, though, Rochellaine. 🙂 I thought they were pretty cool, and they were a good influence for me at the time when I read them.

@rochellaine *covers ears* Ahg, I remember all of them screaming! Except maybe the mother.I got like two or three books into it I think, only because it was on our curiculum.   But my Mom let me stop because I was already dealing with migraines during school and when all they did was scream and tell stories or the “dear little brown house” (…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Okay, cool! I love researching random facts and things, as well. And the Pepper books drive me crazy with all the screaming, as well, lol.

@rochellaine, ah my mistake. I tend to click on everyone’s google docs links (being interested in reading what they have to say) but if you wish to keep it private, no worries. My apologies if I was too nosy.

@rochellaine UGH! 😀 I hate the Pepper books!  They are always screaming.

@rochellaine

Sounds like awesome research! I don’t know much about that, though it is familiar as well. Let us know what you find out…and if I find anything, I’ll let you know. 🙂

@rochellaine I have never heard of that before.  hmm, now you have me curious. 😀 I will let you know ifI find anything out about it.  Is it research for a WIP?

@rochellaine

Thanks so much! I just requested access, let me know if you get it. 🙂 It didn’t give a note option but should come in as my name I think. I won’t bother you until July, then. Looking forward to it! 🙂

@rochellaine

Hi Rochellaine! My name is Lindsey and I’m rather new to the forum. I’ve been stalking this conversation for a long while because it’s hard to find fellow historical fictioners. (Most people write fantasy, lol…and for someone who doesn’t, it’s kinda hard to find anyone to relate to).

I think you and I have a LOT in common, and I…[Read more]

@rochellaine There are two elements that come to my mind, which I think can work separately or in tandem.

1. The betrayal of conviction.

Basically, think of a die-hard zealot watching the leader they’ve idolized and followed for so long renounce what he’s said and done. It would make them furious; all their former passionate support would…[Read more]
