I see, 😀 We’ve got a few shift workers in our church and we have two services (both on Sunday though) for that purpose.

Bye for now 😀

@rochellaine

It was pretty discouraging to keep going with it, honestly, so I’m kinda happy to be starting again 😛

Yes, I’m prepping for Christmas, to my chagrin. (that sounds dramatic). My overexuberant brothers and sister have already put up the Christmas tree and mum’s making us do lists…

And every time I walk into a shopping centre,…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, I didn’t notice the date.   Oh…I’m sorry! 🙁  I hope it isn’t too discouraging.

@valtmy 😛 Yes, isn’t it?

Haha, well, how is the story going, then?  Do you have your characters where you want them, or are they rebelling like any good character would?

Are either of you preparing for Christmas yet?  What do you usually do f…[Read more]

@valtmy Is there a particular reason you have Saturday services? Is it a denominational or cultural thing, or is it just practical?

so yeah, I was busy Sunday and then I was up in Sydney all day yesterday, so I didn’t really get anything done then.

@valtmy

Saturday was a long time ago.

Like…a whole three days ago.

@rochellaine

NaNo went fairly well. I got the 50k (just)…

but as I was telling @valtmy the other day, I’m going to…uh, start my novel again?

@valtmy 😛 Interest is one thing, time is another.  Finals are just around the corner. 😉

(bows)

Cool.  How many parts will there be?

@seekjustice Hi!! 😀 Yes, it has been a bit too long, hasn’t it?

Thanks. 😛

How’s NaNo coming along?

@rochellaine @valtmy

Hellooooo!

I feel like it’s been a really long time since I’ve talked to you two 😀

(Congratulations on 10k, Rochellaine!)

@valtmy Hello!  Yes, it has been.

I’m off and on switching from memorizing law school definitions to work on Daughter of Judas. 😉

I reached the 10,000 word mark today! 😀

How about you? What are you working on?

@seekjustice @valtmy @jenwriter17

I’m writing now.

@valtmy Oh, I missed you again!  I’m writing now, though.  Anyone else?  @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @dekreel @catwing

@valtmy

I need to go too 🙂

I’m not sure whether I’ll be on tomorrow or not, since I’ll be at church and may end up doing other things as well, we’ll see.

Bye for now

@valtmy

A lot of people said that they wanted more descriptions of the settings, in particular. They had trouble visualizing what they looked like.

I think so 🙂 but of course I can always be surprised.

@valtmy

Ah, no…I was still thinking about abrupt endings. Apparently the conversation had moved on 😛

Me too, as my astute betas have continually pointed out. I obviously need to work on it as well 😀

😛 I can always use a good dose of humility. I can get a bit up myself on occasions.

@valtmy

I could just be imagining things, but that’s the impression I had 🙂

Yep, I understand. I think it helps keep us humble and reminds us that we really aren’t as great as we think we are 😉

@valtmy

I don’t think I literally meant mid sentence, but I didn’t have the sense that it was complete. I guess that can be dealt with next draft though.

That’s really disappointing. I’ve had that a few times so far and its also very frustrating 😣

@valtmy

Essentially. Though I’m going for a much more detailed outline which will help me write more quickly. In fact, I think most of my writing issues this month were because of the outline that I wrote, so I’m hoping solidifying some of the character goals and making the plot more streamline will help it go faster.

Yay!

(But did P2 finish? I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I did have a listen to it, I haven’t finished though. I like the sound 🙂

And I’ve heard of Mary Poppins returns. Not really sure how good it will be though!

@valtmy

Hello! I’ve got good news and bad news.

Good news is that Wattle Fire is halfway done

Bad news is that I’m starting again. Completely rewriting it 😛

@seekjustice

Oh, I see! 😀

Yes, it is frightening to think that there’s a possibility of tripping over or stepping on one of the little dogs.  But they are so adorable!  I don’t recognize the name “Papillon” but I looked for pictures, and I feel like I’ve seen that type of dog before.  They’re really cute.  I have to say I like Shih Tzus bes…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, yes, those are fun. But I agree that it wouldn’t work 😛

He’s golden/whitish, I forget what they call that colour. And no, 😀 she was thinking of Jack and Davy in Newsies.

I tend to prefer big dogs (I’m always scared of hurting little ones 😛 ). I find it really hard to choose a favourite type of dog, but I do like huskies.…[Read more]
