Choisissez vos amis avec soin ! (1)

“Les justes choisissent leurs amis avec soin...” Proverbes 12. 26

CH. Spurgeon a dit : “On juge un homme autant par la compagnie de ses amis, que par les fréquentations qu’il refuse.” Et Benjamin Franklin a affirmé : “Fréquentez les gens de qualité si vous tenez à avoir une bonne réputation, car il vaut mieux être seul que mal accompagné !” Quant à Salomon, il a averti ses lecteurs de la nécessité de choisir avec soin ses amis. Les bons vous guideront sur le bon chemin, les mauvais vous égareront. Si seulement son fils Roboam avait retenu la leçon (1 Roi 12. 6-12) ! Le mot “choisir” signifie précisément ici : explorer un pays, une région. Le “juste” doit analyser, explorer l’attitude, le caractère de ceux qu’il veut fréquenter pour ne pas regretter plus tard les amitiés qu’il s’est forgées.

J. Merritt donne comme conseil à ses enfants : “Soyez agréables et amicaux avec tout le monde, mais ne sélectionnez pas tout le monde comme amis !” L’enfer contient beaucoup de gens qui ont fait de mauvais choix quant à leurs amitiés et nos prisons regorgent de détenus qui ont entretenu trop de mauvaises fréquentations quand ils étaient adolescents. Merritt raconte l’histoire de ce fermier qui décida un jour de tirer avec son fusil sur un groupe de corbeaux qui ne cessaient d’envahir son champ de blé. Or les enfants de ce fermier possédaient un perroquet habitué à fréquenter tout le monde et à se lier d’amité avec d’autres oiseaux.

Celui-ci s’était associé au groupe de corbeaux et quand le fermier tira dans le tas, c’est le perroquet qui écopa du plomb. Malgré une aile cassée et un bec endommagé, il était toujours en vie, sur le sol, quand le fermier arriva, entouré de ses enfants. Ceux-ci s’écrièrent : “Papa, que s’est-il passé ?” Le perroquet, sans lui laisser le temps de

répondre, répliqua : “C’est ce qui risque de vous arriver si vous avez de mauvaises fréquentations !” Sa parole pour vous aujourd’hui ? Ne vous liez pas d’amitié avec n’importe qui ! Choisissez vos amis avec soin !

GARETH MERRITT fifty-one. peter dinklage. 

Gareth Merritt- better known by his public name, Gaius Pollus- has dedicated his life to the Republic. As the eldest son of a family with strong ties to the Legion, public service was never a question of ‘if’, but rather of ‘how’. Fortunately perhaps, it was clear from an early age that while Gareth might never wear a Legionnaire’s uniform, the sharpness of his mind more than made up for his physical shortcomings. 

Running first for Edile, then Magistrate, then finally a seat in the Senate just as he entered his fiftieth year, Gareth has become a notable figure in Republican politics, not just for his short stature, but for his determination to excel, efficiency, and an occasionally blistering temper. But despite a reputation for being unable to suffer fools, Gareth’s priority is, as it has ever been, to serve the people. As the Republic edges to the brink of an economic crisis, what better time is there to use the trust that has been placed in him to change the Republic for the better?

The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!

So, technically, I’m back to “writing” and I have been working, hitting my 300-500 words a day which has been nice! But I’ve been really unmotivated lately, feeling really down, and just being hard on my writing and I tend to fall into periods of that. But I’m aware of it and I know taking it easy is better for me in the long run, working on a project like this. So, I’m probably gonna start do bi-weekly, twice a month logs like this with more to update on, rather than the usual weekly ones!

My focus right now is on planning and organizing. When I started laf I just kinda stuck variables wherever and named them whatever seemed right at the time and it’s gotten confusing and all lost. Now that we’re hitting larger chunks of narrative, where I need to recall a var from ten passages ago, it’ll save me so much time to have a masterlist to refer to. That’s mostly where I’ve sunk my time this and last week. 

The other thing I’ve done is started using Tweego, it sounds and looks much spookier than what it actually is. It’s really just a way of keeping track all of your passages(those little boxes that you have open and close individually to edit in the twine app). Tweego compiles them into one or a few text files that is easily managed in your prefered text editor. Moving over to this system(and I’m not being hyperbolic) has saved me hours! Before this, I would write in word, copy/paste into a text editor with syntax highlighting(the colors) for sugarcube, then copy/paste again into Twine. This process took forever and made bug fixes, testing, etc. take forever. 

Narrative wise, ch 1 is mostly planned out. I know kinda how I want the scenes to play out but I also have a decent idea of how long it’s gonna take me to finish the full thing....and yeah, it’s a while. Chapter one’s first scene is a picnic where you’ll have a chance to meet the other ro’s you missed during the opening ball. Which! is exciting! But! It means six different variations of the same scene;-; I’m gonna try to make all that variation worth the replay but yea I can forsee some struggling with that. We’re also meeting some new side characters!! Some of Miss Merritt’s town friends, in addition to Janet and Ben, here’s what they pretty much look like^^

(side note: this dressup is so cute! very much recommend!) 

Also I think I mentioned some side project stuff would be coming out this or next month and that’s on hold at the moment.... I had planned on working in choicescript for that but I’m considering moving that to Twine or maybe experimenting with inky(another kind of text-based narrative program)

But that’s about it! I hope everyone is staying safe, healthy, and happy<3333

09/9/20 - Prologue pt 1 is done!!

It took five-ever but Love and Friendship’s prologue is live! You can find it linked in my bio and at the bottom of this post! 

I’m pretty proud I managed to meet my Wednesday goal, considering how late I had to stay up to get her all set up. But I’m happy with the way she looks and reads. 

Current Draft Details:

word count ~ 16k, 10k per play-thorough

Set your name, appearance, and skill vars, make personality choices(not locked in until end of ch 1)

Unlock Rumor, Relationship, Skills, Letter, and Description Journal Pages

Spend the opening ball getting to know either Sam and Hugh’s in their own split intro scenes

Meet a few reoccurring side characters

In terms of feedback for this draft, I’m looking for any comments really but specific concerns I have are regarding the pacing of the opening common scenes. If it moves too fast or lingers. If the conversations feel too forced or too exposition-driven. If the choices are ones that feel natural or if there are spots where it feels strange that the mc can not say or do something. Also, I not super confident writing in the second person, so I lean on dialogue and my descriptions can suffer. If you notice anywhere that could use some attention, please let me know! 

I know a few of you are gonna be disappointed we don’t meet Vivian or Warren yet. But don’t you fret! The next half with have their intro scenes and you’ll get to spend more quality time with all four members of Miss Merritt’s circle in chapter 1!
