Some people are motivated by carrots, others by sticks. But nobody is motivated by carrot sticks.

Umm... IIRC, a week after the last seminar so aka next week.

don't leave it too late now!


Ancy that's also the paragraph I was referring to a few posts back, really hit me.

 

[riki]

well...told you I got trolled...at first I thought she had visions(somekind of oracle premonitions) but then I realized..they were actual happenings ...and the paragraph above confused me the most...being Merzak's servant and all

Oh, I'll clarify it then:

Spoiler

The whole time Kyah thought she was serving Puria, but in actuality, she was serving Merzak.

The Merzakians cast an illusion spell on her so that she would believe that she was back home and therefore, more willing to work with them.

don't leave it too late now!

I won't

Love your new avatar, keep it for a while.

I probably will. It took me forever to find something that caught my eyes. >.>

What is it from?

Cave Story

 

[goldb]

The avy is particularly awesome.

Btw, when are you planning on seeing the Avengers?

 

[riki]

Ummm... no idea

Probably after work sometimes this week

 

[goldb]

How did the seminar and group work go today?

 

[riki]

Pretty well

My group got 33.8 out of 34 points from our peer evaluations. One group said that it was good but we need to be humble, which is ironic because our presentation is about co-curriculars and humility. We think it has to be a joke on one of my group member since we like to pick on the only male teacher in the group.

Riki, you're story charmed me a little okay.. more than a little. Today, I was day-dreaming of possible plots and turnings for it. Especially because, I would like a continuation, in which Kyah is still the protagonist. I was wondering how come she ended up as Merzak's priestess. I'm fond of her and it is difficult to accept that she was evil...she seemed so sweet and kind. Why has she chosen to follow Merzak's merciless path? Was she an evil youngster or what happened ...so many questionssss

 

[riki]

Oh, she was brainwashed by the Merzakians. In other words, she was an unwitting follower.

Here is my goals for my next story (hopefully I'll be able to keep them ) after I finish my paper:

- Design map and nations/cultures
- Write characters' personality and descriptions (one per day)
- Write a little bit of a chapter (~15-30 per day)
- Finish a chapter within a month

But I want their background story ......I want moaaaarrr

 

[goldb]

Give the people what they ask for!

 

[riki]

Maybe another time.

I have a life, you know.

[riki]

... You're probably right.

In all honesty, I haven't really thought of a good story with Kyah and Roku. If I think of something, I will write it down, but it will take awhile since I would be revising the story constantly until I deem it good enough to write.

 

[Dried Ambrosia]

it's weird...your novel stimulated me to imagine possible background stories for Kyah..and you did not even think of one??

 

[riki]

Well, my novel is about different characters in the future (around 1000 years).

I like carrot sticks

riki, everytime I listen to Gotye's Somebody I Used to Know, I always wait to hear the ""ba-dum!" from the video you posted a while ago in FF
