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]

@seekjustice

I’ve read books by a few different authors who had “cameos” from characters in other series they had written previously. 😀 That was fun.  But you really couldn’t have a crossover between Courageous and Infinity, and I could not have a crossover between my western and DoJ. 😛

Labs are pretty.  What color is he? Are Jack and Davy A…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Oh, that’s hard. I’m not sure if they would.

We ended up getting him 🙂 he’s a labrador, named Jack ( now my sister wants to get another dog and name him Davy) . We used to have a labrador cross mutt who was lovely but she died some time ago. Mum found a really nice lady (homeschooled, American with a super strong Southern accent)…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Now you’ve started me wondering whether Chara and Bathshua would like each other, and I’m still undecided. 😛

😀 You’re right, it is weird.  Not really appealing to the aesthetic tastes, is it? 😉 But it might be fun.

Oh wow, I’m sorry it’s so cold!  Cold is bad enough in the winter time, but in the summer…eek! 🙁

What kind of d…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

I feel like Courageous and Quillon would like each other a lot 🙂

I’m just imagining a bright orange and black fuzzy rug and its kind of weird?

Well, I looked up the temperatures there yesterday. Apparently it was 2 (celsius) at 4am. Here, at 4 it was 9. So seven degrees difference and we’re supposed to be in the high 30s! Gracious…[Read more]

@seekjustice He should meet up with Quillon and learn how to say “gracious goodness.”

My last (full) sentence was

With a pop, he landed on a bright black and orange fuzzy rug and did a somersault before bouncing to his feet.

(“Pop” because he popped out of somewhere onto the fuzzy rug… 😛 it sounds so weird.)

Aw, too bad. 🙁 About the weather,…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I got 220, so I beat you by six words 😛

sure, my last sentence was this:

Good gracious

Courageous’ pov 😀 Unfortunately, I forgot I had to go out tonight, so I must leave my warm and cuddly spot (good gracious, this is Australia, it’s summer and its freezing) and go into town. Farewell. Will you be on tomorrow do you think?

@seekjustice I didn’t do overly well.  Got 214 words.  But it’s a start. 🙂

Want to share favorite sentences or last sentences or something?

@seekjustice Ten minutes it is!

I’ll start now.

@rochellaine

Ah, that’s right. I’d forgotten about you moving.

Ten minutes?

@seekjustice Thankfully, no abyss. 😛  Just Thanksgiving, and crazy moving to a new house sort of stuff.

Sounds great!  I’ve got an idea for a short story that I want to try out, so I’ll pull up a blank document while you name the time.

@rochellaine Hello! I was wondering if you’d disappeared into an abyss or something. Sure, I can word war with you. I’ve only written 77 words today.

@seekjustice Are you here?  Want to word war or chat or something?

@Rochellaine

I’ll have a look at it when I get home then 🙂

My favourite actors were the ones that played Valjean, Marius and Gavroche. They were really good. The bloke playing Valjean was really young, he was actually almost turned down in the auditions for being too young, but he was a fantastic singer and I think he did the part extremely…[Read more]

@seekjustice I found a website that has a recording of the entire opera (which I’m listening to right now 😉 ):

And the libretto here:

@valtmy

Interesting. 🙂 It’s funny all the weird places inspiration comes from 😛
