Good plan. I would be better off never knowing of its existence.

Its mostly a romance between Gladys and a half-Chinese half-Dutch (and yet so thoroughly white and American) colonel, Gladys with bobbed blonde hair (rather than long and black) and about two Asian actors. Its 1958, I believe, and no wonder she hated it.

I love your…[Read more]

No, I haven’t, but I’ve heard of it and have no intention of ever watching it.  I believe I read about it in a biography of Gladys Aylward and I think she herself was horrified when she heard what they had done to her story.  Sounds like it even puts the term “highly fictionalized” to shame. 😛

You say “old” movie…what year w…[Read more]

Hello! I’d like to have a word war with you soon!

Have you seen the movie The Inn of the Sixth Happiness? I just finished reading a book about Gladys Aylward, who’s one of my very favourite missionaries and it mentioned an old movie about her, which I looked up. I’ve watched about five minutes and I’m already horrified.

@catwing Oh, I wish I hadn’t missed you! 🙁

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @dekreel @valtmy Anyone here?  I’m writing now.

@jenwriter17 I’m so sorry!  I keep forgetting about this, because when I’m on KP I really only check Writers’ Corner (the only really live topic left). 🙁

Going back and reading through your poem I can’t find the places that I thought were jerky before.  However, I think the difference could be that I read it aloud this time, rather than in my h…[Read more]

@catwing Oh! I guess you tagged me for your own prayer request.

I’ll be praying for you!

@catwing Uh, thanks…but I don’t recall putting out any prayer requests?  Did you tag me by accident?

@rochellaine

😛 I do things like that all the time. Sometimes, if I’m actually talking, I’ll just say a word, which may or may not have anything to do with it 😀

@seekjustice Proof that I’m sleepy: I had the word “executioner” all ready to write in the previous post, but I couldn’t think of the word “execute” to go along with it, so I sat with my eyes closed for several minutes trying to think of the synonym for “put to death” even though all I had to do was remember the different form of the word “executioner”.

@rochellaine

Ah yes. I remember it now. Goodnight!

@seekjustice 😛

The Mikado is the one where flirting is made a capital offense but no one can be executed because the executioner himself is next in line to be executed, and he refuses to execute himself.

I’m sleepy, so goodnight. 🙂

@rochellaine

Anything to keep you going on Daughter of Judas 😛

I believe I have read the synopsis before, or you’ve at least told me about it.

@seekjustice Well, as expected, I got only 159 words in.  However, it does count as something. 🙂  Thanks for warring with me!  I’ll look forward to doing some more in the future, and getting back up to speed where I can almost keep up with you. 😛

@valtmy Ok.  Let me know when you do get a chance.  I’d love to hear your opinion on it. ;)…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I got 267, which is pretty much my normal count for 5 min. How did you go?

@seekjustice Go ahead. 🙂 I’ll time myself after I post this.

@rochellaine

Certainly 😀 Shall I put on my timer?

@seekjustice 😀 😀 I will fail miserably, but I’d love to try anyhow.  I usually find word wars help me through rough places, since I don’t think about how hard it is to write, but simply write. 😉

Unfortunately, I’m tired, so can we do a short, five minute war?

(And hooray for the Comic History of Britain! 😉 )

@valtmy Have you had a chance t…[Read more]

@valtmy

Yes. I usually do retellings of things I like quite a lot. And usually, it’s not so much that I think I have a better way of doing it, but just that I have a different way, which I’d like to explore.

No, I don’t think you should be. 😀 I also fail to see how Lancelot and Guinevere are romantic and not just plain selfish/stupid.

@rochellaine

I will more than happily word war with you, if you’d like that.

@seekjustice *rushes in* Did you say word war??!!  Am I too late?
