For me, South Australia really looks like Victoria. If we didn’t have a big sign saying “Welcome to South Australia” I wouldn’t know when we crossed the border.
And yes, it is very bushy.
I have been to the seaside. Quite a few times. 🙂 No, Victoria doesn’t have palm trees. If they were anywhere in Australia it would be Queensland. (@clairec Do…[Read more]

@clairec I wrote 863 words. I’ve done my outlining and plotting so now it is just a matter of following it. 🙂 And I’m really happy with the way the story is going.

@ClaireC I agree that it would mean more to us Americans if you included the poem at the end. But then, if your intended audience is Australian, I suppose it doesn’t matter.

Hey, @clairec , I liked your story. Basing your story on a poem is totally cool and creative. I especially liked the bit about the camera flash. 🙂

I will say though that I’m not certain the first paragraph is entirely necessary to your story. The moment he lost his father, while interesting in itself, frankly confused me as to what the story…[Read more]

@clairec Great! I’ll check in 20, but I’m good to go 40. 🙂

@clairec Are you writing now? I am. 🙂

Yes, tag me then. I just got home from shopping so I was late today, but it would still be nice to write, so 3:30 should be fine.
I’ll still be editing this morning though. 🙂
@clairec

Is anyone writing today? @kate-flournoy, @daeus, @jess, @clairec I’ve got some editing to do, if you can join me.

Okay, here we are @bluejay @ClaireC.
I confess I do not know what quokkas or goanna are. You have the coolest animals over there. What kind of seals do you have? I never thought of seals being around Australia, I don’t know why. Have either of you been to the Great Barrier Reef? I want to go there one day; it sounds amazing. @bluejay It’s too…[Read more]

@claireC @bluejay I shall move to the “where do you live” topic, as you suggested…

@clairec and Sarah-h I didn’t get any reading done to day and I’m really cross. I read a paragraph out to my sister from a different book (couldn’t really avoid it) and that was all I did. Maybe next time will be better. You two sounded like you had a great day, though.

@ClaireC Sounds like you had an exciting day, though. Have fun with your youth group! 🙂

@bluejay I know, the ending with Jeff was terrible. Have you read his other two series, the Young Underground and the Promise of Zion? They are really good too, although Promise of Zion has a similar tragic ending. I found the Billabong series! I can’t wait to read it; thank you for suggesting it. 🙂 And…speaking of snakes…I have a really dumb…[Read more]

I was able to do quite a bit today, which I am very happy about; thank you all for doing it with me! How did you do @bluejay @ClaireC ?

@clairec No worries.
@daeus; @kate-flournoy; @clairec; @jess I’m starting 10 minutes early, but I’m going to 9 (USA) 11 (AUS)
*I love how you can mix up the letters of AUS to get USA or the opposite way round. 🙂 *

@jess; @clairec; @daeus Would anyone like to write now?

@sarah-h and @clairec I’ll be reading nothing but the Bible tomorrow, do you want to join me?

@ClaireC Yes, thanks for doing it with me. There have been a few days when I’ve been tempted to give up, but I am determined to stick with it.
