No, I’m sorry, I just don’t like them. At all. It is my dearest wish that The Sound of Music is remade as not a musical. Though it does make sense it would have singing in it, since its about singers…just…not a musical.

@dekreel Only what my brother has showed me.  He’ll edit out parts that he thinks I shouldn’t see/hear by switching screens or muting the sound.  I watch the older stuff on my own.

He’s showed me things like Short Circuit, (AMAZING!) Galaxy Quest, (Star Trek: TOS spoof.  Hilarious.) and E.T. (for some reason I wasn’t able to fall asleep after…[Read more]

@dekreel I couldn’t remember how I did it, so I just found the description I gave @seekjustice

Copied and pasted:

The oldest brother of the seven gets married in the beginning, and his brothers decide they need wives too, but they don’t know how to woo the girls of the town since they’re rough backwoodsmen.  Their big brother has been read…[Read more]

@dekreel ;D What I’m doing is talking to a crazy person who’s up in the middle of the night just like me!  And attempting to convince myself to do a little more writing, but getting distracted.

Okay, how many spoilers do you want?  I can say it’s about a seven redhaired backwoodsmen who try to get wives for themselves…do you want more i…[Read more]

@dekreel What are you doing up at two o’clock in the morning?!

You’re asking for a deluge in that question!  But I’ll keep it down and just recommend two or three.  First an argument, though: @seekjustice will not recommend any musicals that are similar to the Sound of Music or The King and I.  She thinks The Sound of Music is boring! 😮 So I’m a…[Read more]

@dekreel No, you’re not in trouble. 😀  What I meant was that I couldn’t unimagine you into a person like I could with Catwing because I don’t know you as a person.

@catwing All authors are a little bit abnormal, right?  But does the fact that they’re all abnormal make their very abnormalness normal?  There’s the question. 😀 (Brown hair was the…[Read more]

@dekreel On the small chance you are still here I am tagging you…and demanding how dare you ask Seekjustice for musical recommendations without asking me, too! 😀

@seekjustice Are you back yet?

That conversation actually startled me a bit, since I’d never talked “publicly” about my books before.  I’ve told that one sister some of the plots a…[Read more]

@dekreel Unfortunately I have to disappear for a bit.

Good job with the word count!

I’d recommend  Les Mis, because it’s probably the world’s most popular musical to start with. Do you prefer comedic or serious sorts of stories?

@dekreel Glad you liked it! 😀  I’m leaving now.

@seekjustice I’ll be doing a little more writing in about an hour if you’ll be here then.

@dekreel Sorry!  I can maybe do a word war with you tomorrow? 🙂  Why don’t you do one with @seekjustice when I leave?

Okay, here’s the document.  I did the best I could from memory, and it’s hard to actually write down a true “banter” conversation – they go so fast!  But I think it should make sense. 😀

@dekreel @seekjustice Actually, my sister wants to watch an episode of 77 Sunset Strip with me in about fifteen minutes, so I can’t do a word war right now.

Since I can’t do a word war, I want to show you something funny.

This evening I had a really funny conversation with a few of my siblings about the book I’m writing, so I transcribed what I…[Read more]

@seekjustice I think @dekreel was trying to translate it into Australian time, but since Australia has several different time zones, she might have translated it into the wrong one. 🙂  What time is it right now where you live?

And can you actually do a word war while writing a blog post?  It seems that blog posts have to be more organized than i…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well, you and @dekreel are actually the ones who seem confused, which has confused me. Dekreel was talking about 5:40, so I wasn’t sure whether she’d just got the time wrong or whether she was actually talking about 5:40.

Anyway, I’m here and writing tomorrow’s blog post. 😀

@dekreel

The almighty word war 😀 I usually war against myself (my record is three hundred words in five minutes), but I’ll definitely go against the two of you.

@dekreel I’m an hour ahead of you, so it’ll be 1:20 actually.  It’s 1247 right now. 🙂  You’re not starting yet, right?  Seekjustice is apparently confused, so let’s make sure everything makes sense to everyone before we start so we don’t have the same problem we had last time. 😀

@seekjustice What exactly are you confused about?  What we’re doi…[Read more]

@rochellaine @dekreel

I feel a slight bit confused right now, but that’s okay. If either of you are warring, I’m more than happy to join in, otherwise I’ll just try not to get distracted.

@dekreel Well, we can start now if you want! 😀  It just means that I got extra writing done, hooray!

@seekjustice do you want to join us?

@rochellaine @dekreel

Hello, I’m back!

@dekreel Okay, I’m ready!  Are you?

How about we do it until 11:40 (you’re in Central time, right?  So it should be 11:12 where you live?)

That will be about half an hour from now.

(I’ll start once I get your post confirming this.)

@dekreel Okay, I’m working on something for a few minutes that I can’t race with, but I’ll let you know as soon as I’m done.

The first time I tried was yesterday against Sam, and I failed miserably, and the second time I tried was this evening against Snapper, and I still lost by a lot because she’s amazing at it, but I got nearly twice as many…[Read more]
