@rochellaine My question: why were they gonna sacrifice her to the wild waves? And can babies actually be taught to swim that young?

"In a mask, was he?"
@seekjustice Either that, or you can come to America and sing “America the Beautiful” while I laugh at your Australian accent. 😀
"In a mask, was he?"
I have to go, guys. Nice talking with you!
"In a mask, was he?"
@seekjustice Cool! Another subplot? Like…oh, I’m not going to guess. Just let me read it again once you finish the edits. 😉
@jenwriter17 Thank you!
@alia Well, I offered it to Ariel, but if she doesn’t want it, I’d love for you to write it! 🙂
@ariel-ashira How should I know?! I just made the prompt. It’s your job to come up with the story. 😛 But I guess I was thinking something of the virgin sacrifices that happen(ed) all the time in the uncivilized (or civilized) tribes all over the world. I think it would be a religious or cultural thing. And yes, babies can definitely be taught to swim from infanthood. They don’t learn to actually swim until older than that, but they go underwater whenever their parents want them to, as long as there’s an adult helping them."Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@ariel-ashira Ha, I was waiting for someone to notice! 😛
Alrighty, nice talking with you too! 🙂

www.jennaterese.com@jenwriter17 You changed your profile picture again?! Haha. Thankfully we can’t change our faces in the same way we change online profile pictures…
…oh wait. Plastic surgery. Right.
😛 😛 😛
Change that to “Thankfully changing profile pictures is less expensive and less painful than plastic surgery.”

@rochellaine @seekjustice @alia Well, I’m gonna have to go now too. Usually I can divide my attention well, but the writers’ corner is distracting me right now. 😉 I have to go work on my SE contest entry. Bye! And don’t stay up too late 😛

www.jennaterese.com@jenwriter17 I love beetles!! As in, car beetles, Volkswagens. 😀
@rochellaine Actually, your prompt reminds me of a short story I wrote once, based on a Japanese myth. It was about a girl who offered herself as a sacrifice to the sea dragon instead of the emperor’s daughter.And yes, another subplot! (I just wrote sobplot though, and that seems way too accurate in regards to me story)

@rochellaine, well, my taking the story prompt is actually just me taking a single aspect from it. I rarely take the whole idea.and I’m back again, this time for a while. Anyone want roasted marshmallows? I think there are a few left

Kapeefer til we're old and grey@jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira Goodbye!
@seekjustice Interesting. That does sound similar, though I was thinking that she was chosen specifically, and not as a volunteer.Haha, definitely. Your books contain many sobplots.
@alia Okay, go for it! 😀I want roasted marshmallows. Give me roasted marshmallows. Now. 😛 SeekJustice do you have roasted marshmallows in Australia?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
We are not savages. Of course we have roasted marshmallows ;P
it was a fun story to write! I thought I had a copy on my computer, but I can’t find it now.

@alia @seekjustice @rochellaine *pops back in* *grabs the last of the roasted marshmallows* *vanishes into the night*
I might be on more later, I don’t know yet.
"In a mask, was he?"
@ariel-ashira, I see what kind of friendship this is. As long as there are marshmallows you stick around 😉
any tips on how to write about a forest without it getting boring?

Kapeefer til we're old and grey@seekjustice You’re not savages? What a revelation!
Haha. 😛 I’m glad you are able to know the joys of roasted marshmallows.
@alia “In the deep shadows loomed an unnecessarily large bear. He loomed there because the best thing for bears to do is loom. Otherwise they would not be frightening. And it’s important for bears to be frightening.“But there, in the shadows, loomed the bear, and he was waiting for (MC) to come within his reach so he could frighten her. (MC) knew the bear was looming, because she saw the shadow of his looming, because she was a very smart MC. She was a smart MC because it was necessary for her to be able to beat the bear so she could survive to the end of the book and Rochellaine wouldn’t be angry with Alia for killing a character.
“So, (MC) saw the bear, and decided to prepare. She drew her sword, which was, like the bear, unnecessarily large. It was so large that any onlookers would wonder why she drew it, because it would take a lot of paper to draw a sword of that proportion, and it would be quite a waste of time, since a bear cannot be slain with a paper drawing of a sword. However, she drew the sword just to show the bear what she had, and then thrust the paper drawing of the sword in the bear’s face. The bear took one look at the drawn sword and fled into the shadows of the forest. (MC) took one look at the fleeing bear and lunged after it.
“(MC) chased the bear for miles, waving her drawn sword, until the paper was torn to bits by thorny bushes and poky tree branches. Finally there was light ahead, and the shadows disappeared. The forest faded into a meadow, and the bear disappeared, too. A voice sounding somewhat like the voice of Siri announced, ‘You have arrived at your destination.’
“(MC) sighed in relief, and sat down in the middle of the grass, thinking to herself, That was a very interesting forest scene. I’m glad Alia wrote it.
The readers thought so too. The end.”
