      @rochellaine

      Have you never sobbed uncontrollably from laughter? Though I guess sobbing has generally sorrowful connotations. 😛

      I am here (whilst wrestling with the beast known as mathematics). Sorry I didn’t get your message till just now.

        @seekjustice Haha, I don’t think so. 😛

        Hi!!  Finally a direct conversation between us!  I wonder how long it has been?  Anyway, I won’t be on for much longer, but I’m not quite done yet so, I am still here at present.

        Ah, sorry. 😉  I’ll ask you the question I ask everyone: Do you prefer decimals or fractions?  I adore fractions and abhor decimals, but most people I talk to say the opposite.

        I saw that you were having problems with your editing process again?  I’m not sure, because I didn’t see the whole conversation.  But what was it that you were working on?

          @rochellaine

          Hysterical laughter and hysterical sobbing aren’t that different. Tears, hiccuping, general chaos. I stand by my proclamation.

          Some time 😛 How much longer does your conference last?

          Can I say neither? But currently I get the best of both worlds because I’m working out decimals with a remainder in fractions. I think I generally find fractions easier to conceptionalise than decimals.

          That was the outline for the third book I was moaning about earlier 😛

            @seekjustice “Tears, hiccuping, general chaos…” perfect description.  I find myself agreeing, at this point. 😛

            So, I guess that means I do okay?  Well, with my comic short stories and poems, at least. 😉  I do hope to write a good sad scene sometime, though.  But, like you said, you’d probably faint from shock if I ever did such a thing… 😛

            I’ll be going home Friday, but I think the next couple of days are pretty busy at home, as well.  Hopefully next week I’ll get back into writing.

            Ah, haha. 😀  Yeah, I absolutely loved fractions, but I get that some people just don’t like math at all.  (I don’t generally.  Just fractions. 😉 )

            I see.  I’m certainly looking forward to reading that, as I’m sure you know.  No pressure there.  None at all. 😉  (But seriously, not every book has to be outlined and written as quickly as your first two.  It’s okay if you take a bit longer on this one.)

              @rochellaine

              I’m glad ( I also saved myself an embarrassing situation 😛 ). I think you do find. I guess not evey writer needs to make people weep.

              I just find math extremely frustrating. Especially when I can’t see the point to what I’m doing. Will I ever use this? Not unless I want to be an astrophysicist. Then why am I doing it?

              It actually took me a really long time to outline and plan the first book, but I’m just having trouble with this one because I can’t even get the main plot points to go together, so I can’t even properly begin outlining.

                @seekjustice 😀

                Yes, but there are other jobs where it is used, such as engineering or accounting.  However, I doubt I’ll use more than basic arithmetic, and my chemistry knowledge is confined to baking. 😉

                I see.  Well, I certainly can’t help you there, since I have no idea what the “main plot points” even are supposed to be. 😛

                I need to get some sleep now.  Hope to talk to you again soon!

                  @rochellaine

                  I know that 😛 I was just exaggerating. I’m prone to that sort of thing.

                  I’m sure I’ll get there eventually!

                  Bye 🙂

                      @Seekjustice @rochellaine The tears, the heart ache, the hurt, the angry letters, the fan mail, and the joy of the readers, etc. etc. 🙂 We make them sob for joy and hurt.

                            @alia If you’re still around, I’ll write for a while. I haven’t been on KP for a while, but I figured I’d drop by today 🙂

                                  @alia In general? Or writing-wise?
