That’s exactly right! It’s a good excuse to get out a social situation you never wanted to be in though. “Excuse me, I must go. My child is calling.”

@jenwriter17

I think I’m free now 😀 But still, my novel is calling me and Michael Cerularius is not.

@jenwriter17

Well, I’m critiquing the excommunication of Michael Cerularius in the Santa Sophia church, trying to finish off my novel and also listening to Irish music, all the while getting distracted by Pinterest. Such is life.

@rochellaine

I’m not sure if you ever have said explicitly. But my brain decided you lived in Virginia. Based on what you said the other day though, about Washington DC, you probably either live in Virginia (or West Virginia), Maryland or Delaware.

So you live in the South but aren’t really…Southern?

@alia What is China like?  Do Americans have a wrong idea of China and what its like?

@ariel-ashira, not so much anymore. But when we were missionaries we had churches all over America that supported us, so we tried to visit them every time we came to the states for furlough.

@rochellaine, poem? I love other people’s poems. may we read it?

@alia Wow.  Sounds like your family travels!

@rochellaine Ooh!  Can I read that poem, please?

@ariel-ashira, I have some cousins who live in Alaska, but we’ve never visited them. I think Alaska is the only state that I have not been to.

@seekjustice Well, if you look at it technically and literally, I am in the South.  I live below the Mason-Dixon line which is the official start of Dixie.  There’s a reason I can give you for why most people think we don’t live in the south, but before I do that:

What state do you think I live in?  I don’t remember ever stating sp…[Read more]

@alia Dog sledding is so much fun!  The only reason we did it though is because we lived at a mountain hot springs resort and my Dad flew tourists (most of who were Japanese) out to see eskimo villages, and mountains at sunset.

@seekjustice What do Australian zoos have?  I like looking at the kangaroos in our zoos. 😛

@rochellaine No need to explain to me why there is actually no heaven for characters.  Don’t worry, I don’t believe that. 😀

@ariel-ashira, you’ve been dog sledding??? lucky. I want to do that. Is it fun? the only reason I have been to the Great Wall is because my family used to live 2 hours from Beijing.

@seekjustice, you still around? I’m back

@jenwriter17

I’ve learnt more about the Great Schism of 1054 than I ever thought I wanted to 😛

I don’t know, once I start a novel I just ovsessively keep going until I’m at the end.

@jenwriter17

Oh cool! I love going to the zoo 🙂 I’m not writing currently but I’m critiquing my dad’s bible college paper.

@rochellaine

Okay, I’ll be sure to tell her that too!

Well, I’ve heard the saying before, but only in American movies. But…wait…aren’t you from the south too? *frowns again at map*

@ariel-ashira

Dog-sledding in Alaska sounds really cool!

Um.  We call them “Police men with dogs”. Okay no, it’s called the Dog Unit, or the Dog Squad, I just looked it up.

@seekjustice I’m not back. 😀  I’m just popping in to say give that advice to your sister, sure, but tell her to take it with a grain of salt, since it comes from a writer who can’t possibly kill her own characters. 😛

Also to say that I’ve never that I can remember heard @catwing‘s saying. 😉  America’s a big place, and we have a lot of di…[Read more]

@alia You have been to The Great Wall of China?  Three times?  Cool.  *tries to think of the best place I have ever been*  Dog sledding in Alaska?

@seekjustice What do you call police men with dogs in Australia?

@rochellaine Are you flying to Nevada?

And how do you know that our characters don’t go to a book character heaven?  😛

@rochellaine

Bye! (I’ll pass that advice on)

The Scarlet Pimpernel is a fun book! Nowhere near as deep as A Tale of Two Cities or anything, but it’s a light read and that’s sometimes the best thing.

@catwing I don’t know, but we don’t say that! Does it kind of mean, “that’s just the way things are”?

@daeus Man, thats gotta be tough!  Will be praying for sure!

@jbb So good to hear!

@alia Definitely!
