😀 And you reminded me, I really gotta sit down and write some posts too. I’ll do that once I’ve put the washing away so I can actually sit on my chair 😛

@seekjustice Awesome! I actually just got done doing the same thing XD

@jenwriter17

Hey! I’m folding the washing but I’ll join you anyway.

Hey! I’m folding the washing but I’ll join you anyway.

@seekjustice @rochelaine @valtmy @alia @ariel-ashira @kaya-young @dragon-snapper @dekreel Heloooooo! I am outlining and working on blog posts. 🙂 Anyone wanna join me?

@xonos-darkgate I don’t think I’ve met you before, but hello 🙂

You know @dekreel don’t you?

To answer your question, @rochellaine, since Xonos obviously missed it, yes, we know each other on another forum. (Although I think we met each other on Kingdom Pen once or twice beforehand. . .)

@valtmy

I’m the opposite. I can’t get anything finished without planning. Though I still have days when I have no idea what’s happening next.

Well…I do believe there’s a difference between purposeful ridiculousness and lame ridiculousness, which in all likelihood is what my stories are.

@valtmy

Self-criticism has got to be the worst thing about being a writer…or being a human really.

I’m a bit of an obsessive plotter for that very reason. I tend to get lost otherwise and end up with ridiculous plots. Or lack thereof.

@valtmy

That is unfortunate 🙁

@valtmy

🙂 how’s your current WIP going?

@Rochellaine

Goodnight.

@seekjustice Oh, that’s awful. 🙁  I hope they get better.

It is highly fascinating. 😛

Well, I’ll be departing now.  Goodnight!

@valtmy

@rochellaine

Me too. I’ve had some really bad asthma attacks which obviously haven’t been all that good for me.

That sounds like a highly fascinating operetta.

@valtmy

Speaking of asthma, I’ve always wanted to give a stereotypical fantasy hero asthma just to see them deal with it 😛

That is, if you manage to remember it.

@valtmy Well, it’s not really an opera, it’s an operetta, so the music might be a bit more bearable.  Basically, an operetta has a lot more talking in between songs than an opera, so it’s more like a musical with fancier music than normal.  And it’s a comic operetta so the songs are funny too.  G&S are great writers.  So you might be able to get…[Read more]

@valtmy Okay, well, I thought you might be interested in it.  I don’t know what kind of music you like, and you might hate it because of that, (it’s an operetta) but the story is really funny.  It’s set in old Japan, and the premise is that flirting has been made a capital crime, and anyone who flirts must be beheaded.  Fortunately, in one sm…[Read more]

@valtmy Hey, same here! 🙂  I think I asked you a bit ago if you’d heard of The Mikado.  You haven’t, right?

@seekjustice I’m doing okay, but am exhausted right now. 😉  I wanted to pop in and say hi, though, since it feels like a while since I talked to you people.

How are you?

@valtmy

Well, it still sounds like a fairly depressing story 😛

Ah, canola fields are really pretty! There’s a lot of them around here too and I like looking at them 🙂 .

@rochellaine

Hello! Its been…a few days. How are you?

@valtmy @seekjustice Hello, I’m here! 😀

I remember the two big epidemic scares that happened over the past few years.  And I remember people talking about what you’re saying – that the world’s so interconnected it’s really hard to contain viruses now.

So…other than discussing the dangers of deadly diseases and their impact on your…[Read more]

@valtmy

Yeah, I think it would be be so much worse if it happened now. We’re definitely completely dependant on His grace!

Oh well, that’s good. I love a good poetic justice storyline in that case 😀

@valtmy

You should know me better than that. I’d hate to be one of my characters.

Yeah, that matches what I’ve read. The thing I find interesting, and scary, about it is that since no one knows what caused it, we couldn’t prevent it from happening again. So theoretically we could have another flu outbreak and all die anytime.

That sounds like a…[Read more]
