Aw, poor boy! I’m praying.

@Dragon-Snapper haha, yes. It’s a muscle cramp, not a mental cramp. XD

@Rolena-Hatfield I don’t know the answer to that specific question, though I suspect it very much depends on whether it was a formal joust (or even a royal joust) or a rougher, livelier joust hosted by a baron or some other ‘petty’ lord. ‘Country’ jousts were rough and probably a lot less organized. Royal jousts were merely for the show of it,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Ah, yes! I know what you mean now. At first I thought you meant a writerly cramp we get in our heads when we write too much or something weird like that. Which goes to prove my confusion “How are stress balls and hand exercises going to help us?” I understand a lot better now, thanks!

@Dragon-Snapper basically a heavy, chronic hand cramp caused by perpetual repetitive motion. The motion of holding/moving a pencil… over… and over… and over… even typing can give it to you, though that’s less common. The muscles get weary of being frozen in one position for too long and just seize up. It’s not pleasant. 😛

@kate-flournoy One thing I want to ask… what is writer’s cramp in the 1st place?

@rolena-hatfield Have you ever seen The Sword in the Stone? It’s not entirely about jousting, but it has a scene or two with it. I know that squires keep all of the Knight’s items and anything they need. When a knight is dismounted, they move onto sword-fighting. That’s really all I know… Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

@anne-of-lothlorien @jess Oh, I really liked Ever After! Especially with Leonardo. He was great comic relief.

@jadamae
The poor thing! I will definitely pray for Cade. Something’s trying to take his destiny, but with God, we’re not going to let it!

@dragon-snapper I jump up and down and either (1) write it down or (2) tell someone or (3) do both.

What do you all do when you get a new story idea? Or an addition to your story that you think will be awesome! Do you sit at your computer for endless hours, or do you brainstorm on it? Do you jump up and down and shout it on the mountaintops (by that, I mean, tell your siblings how awesome it will be) or do you sit quietly and do an evil chuckle…[Read more]

@jess Yes, I really liked Big Hero 6 too, but the handling of themes may be a bit iffy for me. That’s my opinion so. And there’s Beyond the Mask again. 🙁

@Jess oh yes, no argument there— Big Hero 6 was awesome. Much better than Frozen. But Frozen was still very enjoyable.

@Mark-Kamibaya I watched Frozen for the first time just a few days ago and actually really enjoyed it. I was surprised— expecting a typical ‘princess’ story and it was anything but. I recommend it.

@Jadamae I will definitely be praying. Lymes disease can be really nasty.

@the-bean Pretty much. They were all horrified. I’m lucky I have fire-proof scales.

@the-bean Well, actually, I am a dragon myself. I don’t snap the dragons…It’s a long story (sort of) that will remain under wraps. And either way, I can’t get close enough to the other dragons. They don’t like me for turning to the writing side of things. 😀
