YAY!! You came over! *throws confetti* 😄

Um…*cough* heh…that conversation was kind of embarrassing, because the story was pretty horrendous and I really had no idea what I was talking about. 🤦

Here’s our discussion question for the week. It’s a bit more serious than the last few and I’m really interested to hear your opinions.

How do you, personally, strike a balance between historical accuracy and ideas and beliefs that are now considered outdated or offensive (for example, views on slavery, colonialism, women, etc)?

Hello, Historical Fictioners!! (A great name, @seekjustice!)

I’ve had the best time reading over this thread for the last week! So glad to join in.

My favorite time periods are: Victorian America and Britain, but I love history between 1800 to about 1930. It’s the most interesting to me. I also find ancient Egypt fascinating. I don’t have a lot…[Read more]

@eden-anderson @rochellaine @ashira

I love romance! And love triangles. Provided that all the parties involved behave like sensible adults.

I agree that there has to be more at stake in the story than whether the couple gets together or not.

@seekjustice

What do you mean by “a certain kind of love triangle”?

@rochellaine @eden-anderson

*cough*

I kinda like the love triangle. I mean, a certain kind of love triangle. If done well. Then I like it.

I’m not really a fan of most other romance tropes but if played well, the love triangle can work.

@rochellaine

I just think the love triangle is SO overused in fiction. Sometimes it almost feels like the author is writing their novel and all of a sudden they think “this story doesn’t have enough conflict…hmm, how can I fix this? Oh, I know! Let’s throw in a love-triangle!” Voilà Now they have an awesome book!!  Um…no. Sorry.

I guess I…[Read more]

@rochellaine *high five*

@snapper @seekjustice @rochellaine @dekreel @catwing @ashira @valtmy

Anyone on? I’m working on various writing and blogging things…

@ashira @jenwriter17 @rochellaine @catwing Idk how long I’ll be here but I’m plotting if you want to join. 😀

Question of the week!

Do you like (or would you be prepared to read) historical fantasy/steampunk/alternate history, or any of those genres that purposely bend and play with history? If you do read those genres, what is your favourite book?

@valtmy @Rochellaine @ashira @selah-chelyah @samantha-pen @scarletimmortalized @michelle And everyone…[Read more]

@rochellaine YOU GOT YOUR HORSES!!  Im so excited for you!  Looks like everyone around here is.

You are gonna let me beta read Daughter of Judas, right?

@rochellaine AH I LOVE THOROUGHBREDS! They are so much fun to ride. 😀 Do you ever watch horse racing? Paints are pretty too. <3

Oh, okay. I hope the training and everything goes well! 🙂

Riding sidesaddle would be really interesting! I once heard of someone that jumped horses in a sidesaddle. O.O

@theresa-play

Well, I’m gonna leave for now…[Read more]

@jenwriter17, hippo-therapy is when instead of regular physical or occupational therapy, therapist use horses to help the patient. I volunteer at a hippo-therapy place during the summer months, and my youngest sister is supposed to start being the patient soon, hopefully.

raindrop therapy sounds really interesting. do different essential oils…[Read more]

@rochellaine

See above. 😉

WHAT YOU GOT HORSEZZZ?! O.O *tries not to drown you in questions* What breed? Color? Do you ride them western or english? CONGRATULATIONS! 😀 😀 😀

@rochellaine, you know what popped up in my google docs the other day? the KP character list from when people were compelling us all as characters. And guess what name I saw, Bobert. Is he still around? 😉

@rochellaine, @jenwriter17, and here I was think SE didn’t have one of these. EEK!

@rochellaine

Great. 🙂 Oh, don’t you graduate soon? Or is that next year?

I’m finishing highschool this year, and after graduating I’m going to continue to write books (of course), train horses, and possibly look into equine Raindrop therapy. 🙂

@rochellaine Well, I look forward to reading it. 🙂

I look forward to it being done, lol! 😉 I think you will like it more; I’ve added some characters that I think add a lot to the story and are really fun. 🙂

So how’s law school?

@rochellaine Will Daughter of Judas be up for readers when you’ve finished it? 😉

Ooh, an estimate…I’m not sure. I did a bit more outlining this time around (roughly outlining each scene) and it’s taking me much longer to write it. Hopefully sometimes this year (yes, very vague).

@jenwriter17 Last summer. It wasn’t the best experience in the world, but it wasn’t terrible. 😛

@rochellaine So far we’ve gone from the early 1600s and we’ll go on until modern time. It’s a fun class. 🙂

And I’m going to head out now. Thanks for writing with me and good luck!!
