@kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper @allyecornicopiaofpeople Anyone else writing?

By the way, Kate, are you writeathoning tomorrow? I’m trying to get back into writing (as opposed to just editing) and I feel like I need to go back to boot camp.

@kate-flournoy Hmm, sounds better. Maybe if I’m feeling less cynical tomorrow. Or maybe I’ll flip a coin. I really don’t know. I seriously might just flip a coin.

@kate-flournoy So I’ve finished book two now. I know you said it get’s better, but how much better? You see, I’ve almost lost interest in the series at this point. I know, I was just saying how I planned to finish the whole thing, but I guess I can change my mind quickly. One reason is that the books would take me a while to get through, but I’m…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Being the helpful person that I am, I both don’t know and I don’t know.

@emma-flournoy Well, the movie gave the date for his death, so I assume he was real.

Love your new profile picture, @anne-of-lothlorien

Also, the quote is from The Scarlet Pimpernel to chauvelin.

So do I get to go now, or do we wait for you to confirm we are correct? Anyways, here’s my next one.

“So you’re bravely refusing to fight a swordsman half your age?”

@Mark-Kamibaya Probably because his inner struggle was more intense which is always interesting. It could also be to seem less pushy with the theme. As in, “Look, we’ll prove this to you with your own guy.”

@Mark-Kamibaya They focused about equally on both the main characters, though I guess the foil’s POV was used more. You could also argue though that Eric was the bigger hero.

Alright, I got something to do now. I did write 454 words though, which I guess I pretty good seeing as it’s the first time I’ve actually written something original in maybe three months.

@jess @dragon-snapper Hey! Wait for me. I’m with you till nine.

@emma-flournoy The really amazing part is how well they handled Eric’s foil. Watch it.

@rolena-hatfield Ah. Unfortunately, I don’t know about that. 🙁

Thanks, Jackson. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday.

@emma-flournoy I have to agree with you. Even though I do like BTM, would recommend it, and would watch it again, it’s certainly not a true classic.

@Mark-Kamibaya At the same time, I read some of those critics when the movie came out, and they are certainly exaggerating. Yes, you’ll find stuff to critique all over the place, but I’d still…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I’m actually going to stop now. I’d normally keep going, but when I went to write, I realized it had been so long since I had touched this book, that I needed to review the characters before I kept writing. Now I think I understand them again, but with only ten minutes left, I don’t feel like just hacking out a couple sentences.

@dragon-snapper. Ah, goody. Just saw this.

Hey folks, I have a life again. Anyone want to write till nine? @kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper @anyone-else

@rolena-hatfield I’m no expert in jousting, but I do think flails were sometimes used in jousts. The advantage of a flail is that it can whip around an opponent’s shield, but they are hard to wield and bad for defense. Anything specific you wanted to know?
