Lunar Inklings

@ariel-ashira I’ll be praying!

@seekjustice Most Americans only know the first verse of the National Anthem, but it’s a very long verse.  The second verse talks about God, so Christians sing it in church or when we get together for hymn sings, but regular people don’t know it.  Have you ever heard the American National Anthem?  It’s famous for being an extremely complicated so…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 It was wonderful!  As I was telling SeekJustice, we had the guy who played Mr. Pulitzer as our waiter, and my dad joked about not tipping him if he had realized he was the bad guy beforehand. 😛

@seekjustice Oh, okay.  I know it’s an Asian thing, and I’ve heard that it’s European too, but what you’re describing in Australia seems p…[Read more]

@valtmy And now it’s the dead of night for me… 😛

Thanks!  I did enjoy Newsies very much!

Yes, that makes sense.  Actually the paramedics scene was very easy for me, but it’s the longer bridge sections that are harder.  I’m pretty much having the problem you just described: I have to have some things happen between the important scenes, wi…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, I was considering asking you about that.  I’ve heard they don’t tip in Europe, but I wasn’t sure about Australia.

In America waiters are paid very little, and nearly their entire wages consist of what tips the patrons are generous enough to leave.  I believe a 15-20% tip is considered reasonable most places, and a lot of times t…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😛 It was really funny, because they give out the tip trays before the show starts, and you don’t know who is playing what, since they’re all in their waiter uniforms.  So my dad left him a big tip because he was a good waiter, and then he got it during intermission, and came back to thank my dad.  My dad teased him that he didn’t k…[Read more]

@seekjustice And it was good, yes. 😀

It was amazing!  Really fun.  Great actors/singers/dancers.  My favorites were Crutchie, Jack, and Mr. Pulitzer, in that order.  (I have to include Mr. Pulitzer especially because he was our waiter.  It was a dinner theater, remember?  But he was great in his part as well.)

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice @alia Back from NEWSIES!!!!

@Jenwriter17 Yep, I have heard of canva. Great job designing your own covers! 😀

@alia And I had to take a break as well, because…housework. 🙂  I got to start reorganizing our library; fun stuff. 😛

But now, it’s my day to go see Newsies!  So I have about half an hour and then I’ve got to get ready to go.

Are you still here?  How’s it going now?

@catwing You know what?  This one’s for you:

Threatening voice: “You never know until you find out.  And finding out can be very dangerous.”
Timid voice: “Could it kill you?”
Threatening voice: “It could.  That is within the realm of possibility.”
Timid voice: “By the way…what exactly is it that you never know, again?”
Threatening voice: “Whet…[Read more]

@alia My characters usually have a little bit of me in them, and a little bit of my brother, my sister, or my friend, or a random person I meet on the street.  🙂  But this particular character she was talking about actually has several very similar character traits to me, which are pretty obvious to my siblings when they read the story.  I us…[Read more]

@alia Aaand, I’m back. 😛

Oh, that’s wonderful. 🙂  It’s amazing to realize that I have the power to save the lives of fictional people in a fictional world which exists at present only in the mind of a girl who lives quite far away from me, and whom I’ve never met.

*sits back and contemplates my impact on society* – that is – fictional…[Read more]

@valtmy My problem isn’t infodumps as much as it is “bridge” sections.  I don’t know if there’s an actual name for them, but they’re the parts where you go down in between the exciting passages and have to get the characters from one place to another.  There are things that have to happen in between, so I can’t just skip the bridge and go on to t…[Read more]

@valtmy Really?  If you figure that out, will you please let me know the secret?!  I’m working on an annoyingly boring passage myself. 😉

@ariel-ashira Goodbye! 🙁

@valtmy Oh, okay.  SeekJustice is in Australia, about sixteen hours ahead of me.  Usually I stay up really late and talk with her at about 11:00-2:00 a.m. while it’s only lunch time for her. 😛   What are you working on right now?

@alia Hello!  How’s it going? (I’m on and off right now too, since I’m watching my litt…[Read more]

@valtmy That’s okay, but…what?!  Where do you live?

@ariel-ashira I’m going to be off and on, since I’ve got to watch my little sisters while my mom is out of the house.  So my replies might be slow or quick depending on what’s going on.

How’s it going?  Working on your biblical story?

@ariel-ashira If you were here for only a few seconds I may have missed you, but if not, hello!

@ariel-ashira Well, I’m here for a little while, and it is morning, so are you on now? 😉

@seekjustice Oh, okay. 🙂 Haha, nope.  Don’t follow that advice.  You might end up dying, don’t you think?

@seekjustice Hm. Yes, I should go to bed. 😀

Okay, see you tomorrow hopefully!  And I’ll keep praying for your arms.

Goodnight.
