@valtmy Oh, I missed you again!  I’m writing now, though.  Anyone else?  @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @dekreel @catwing

@valtmy

I need to go too 🙂

I’m not sure whether I’ll be on tomorrow or not, since I’ll be at church and may end up doing other things as well, we’ll see.

Bye for now

@valtmy

A lot of people said that they wanted more descriptions of the settings, in particular. They had trouble visualizing what they looked like.

I think so 🙂 but of course I can always be surprised.

@valtmy

Ah, no…I was still thinking about abrupt endings. Apparently the conversation had moved on 😛

Me too, as my astute betas have continually pointed out. I obviously need to work on it as well 😀

😛 I can always use a good dose of humility. I can get a bit up myself on occasions.

@valtmy

I could just be imagining things, but that’s the impression I had 🙂

Yep, I understand. I think it helps keep us humble and reminds us that we really aren’t as great as we think we are 😉

@valtmy

I don’t think I literally meant mid sentence, but I didn’t have the sense that it was complete. I guess that can be dealt with next draft though.

That’s really disappointing. I’ve had that a few times so far and its also very frustrating 😣

@valtmy

Essentially. Though I’m going for a much more detailed outline which will help me write more quickly. In fact, I think most of my writing issues this month were because of the outline that I wrote, so I’m hoping solidifying some of the character goals and making the plot more streamline will help it go faster.

Yay!

(But did P2 finish? I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I did have a listen to it, I haven’t finished though. I like the sound 🙂

And I’ve heard of Mary Poppins returns. Not really sure how good it will be though!

@valtmy

Hello! I’ve got good news and bad news.

Good news is that Wattle Fire is halfway done

Bad news is that I’m starting again. Completely rewriting it 😛

@seekjustice

Oh, I see! 😀

Yes, it is frightening to think that there’s a possibility of tripping over or stepping on one of the little dogs.  But they are so adorable!  I don’t recognize the name “Papillon” but I looked for pictures, and I feel like I’ve seen that type of dog before.  They’re really cute.  I have to say I like Shih Tzus bes…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, yes, those are fun. But I agree that it wouldn’t work 😛

He’s golden/whitish, I forget what they call that colour. And no, 😀 she was thinking of Jack and Davy in Newsies.

I tend to prefer big dogs (I’m always scared of hurting little ones 😛 ). I find it really hard to choose a favourite type of dog, but I do like huskies.…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I’ve read books by a few different authors who had “cameos” from characters in other series they had written previously. 😀 That was fun.  But you really couldn’t have a crossover between Courageous and Infinity, and I could not have a crossover between my western and DoJ. 😛

Labs are pretty.  What color is he? Are Jack and Davy A…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Oh, that’s hard. I’m not sure if they would.

We ended up getting him 🙂 he’s a labrador, named Jack ( now my sister wants to get another dog and name him Davy) . We used to have a labrador cross mutt who was lovely but she died some time ago. Mum found a really nice lady (homeschooled, American with a super strong Southern accent)…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Now you’ve started me wondering whether Chara and Bathshua would like each other, and I’m still undecided. 😛

😀 You’re right, it is weird.  Not really appealing to the aesthetic tastes, is it? 😉 But it might be fun.

Oh wow, I’m sorry it’s so cold!  Cold is bad enough in the winter time, but in the summer…eek! 🙁

What kind of d…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

I feel like Courageous and Quillon would like each other a lot 🙂

I’m just imagining a bright orange and black fuzzy rug and its kind of weird?

Well, I looked up the temperatures there yesterday. Apparently it was 2 (celsius) at 4am. Here, at 4 it was 9. So seven degrees difference and we’re supposed to be in the high 30s! Gracious…[Read more]

@seekjustice He should meet up with Quillon and learn how to say “gracious goodness.”

My last (full) sentence was

With a pop, he landed on a bright black and orange fuzzy rug and did a somersault before bouncing to his feet.

(“Pop” because he popped out of somewhere onto the fuzzy rug… 😛 it sounds so weird.)

Aw, too bad. 🙁 About the weather,…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I got 220, so I beat you by six words 😛

sure, my last sentence was this:

Good gracious

Courageous’ pov 😀 Unfortunately, I forgot I had to go out tonight, so I must leave my warm and cuddly spot (good gracious, this is Australia, it’s summer and its freezing) and go into town. Farewell. Will you be on tomorrow do you think?

@seekjustice I didn’t do overly well.  Got 214 words.  But it’s a start. 🙂

Want to share favorite sentences or last sentences or something?

@seekjustice Ten minutes it is!

I’ll start now.

@rochellaine

Ah, that’s right. I’d forgotten about you moving.

Ten minutes?

@seekjustice Thankfully, no abyss. 😛  Just Thanksgiving, and crazy moving to a new house sort of stuff.

Sounds great!  I’ve got an idea for a short story that I want to try out, so I’ll pull up a blank document while you name the time.
