The Impossible Girl

@valtmy

I was about to say I lived in the future, but two hours probably isn’t enough to have read a completed first draft, so I’ll just say nothing at all.

I think its pretty good. It did take me a while to get used to your writing style, but that’s probably just what I’m used to reading/writing. I’m not entirely sure about the massive jump in…[Read more]

@valtmy

Well, yes it is 😛

Also, it really doesn’t take a lot for me to get distracted.

Okay, I’ll go searching for it.

@valtmy

I need to do some more, since I’m rather devastatingly far behind…but you’re novel is looking very interesting at the moment (can I have the link to part 2?) and I’m up to a boring bit.

Well, a kind of boring bit. Someone gets kidnapped, but its boring before that.

@valtmy

I probably won’t get time for it today, but I’ll definitely get to it some day. Hopefully soon.

@valtmy

I would hate to see her become worse. :l

@valtmy

Yes, I would think so.

However, they both (hopefully) will improve.

Are you planning on improving Myeongwol??

@valtmy

I’m having a little trouble finding where I’m up to. I definitely remember the introduction to “Young Lady Kang”…

Well, I’ve found a bit I don’t remember, so I’m just going to read from there.

Oh, and I’ve just realised that the queen from my story is turning out a lot like Myeongwol and I’m not sure how I feel about that.

@valtmy

By the way, how’s that other WIP of yours going? That one with the strange, captivating crown prince in it? I don’t believe I’ve read any of that one.

@valtmy

Would you mind sending me another link? I think that was the reason I stopped reading in the first place–because it got lost somewhere in my piles and piles of Google docs.

@valtmy

It did indeed.

Ah, yes, I’ve not finished it. I can if you would like me too 😀

@catwing Ah, I see. Fair enough, I would probably do something similar.

@valtmy I am concerned about what Myeongwol is up to though.

@catwing

Though definitely intriguing. Why did poor Cele see gongs and get confused?

@valtmy

Well, you certainly know how to disturb people.

@rochellaine

Goodnight

@catwing

And yours is just a tad confusing 😛

@catwing @valtmy @rochellaine

I just finished my fifteen minutes. I got 415.

My last sentence (hence my interest in colts):

Several foals, all varying shades of brown, three black mares and a yearling colt, who looked big enough to be kicked out of the mob any day now.

@rochellaine

Well, I’ve just noticed a lot of use of the word colt. Just then I saw “rounding up mustang mares and colts”, etc. So I was wondering if it had a different meaning.

“Some guns are called colts” was also my immediate thought.

All right, I’m putting on my timer again @Catwing

@jenwriter17

Righto. The things I was reading seemed to indicate it meant more generally a horse that hadn’t reached mature age. Here it very specifically means a horse between 1-4. Younger than 1 is a foal, and a female is a filly. I’ve never really seen any Americans use those terms though, which was why I was a little confused.

@rochellaine @catwing @jenwriter17

And I’m pretty sure I have no interesting sentences, but this one…

This brumby was one of a highly sought after colouring–not quite pure white, but not cream or golden either.

…is a reference to one of my favourite childhood books, The Silver Brumby.

@rochellaine @jenwriter17

Guess what? I got 269. Without eating pizza.

I’m sort of stuck on the details of capturing brumbies though. Exactly how one does it with a horse and no helicopter.

By the way, Jen. Since you are an American horsie person, what does the word colt mean? You seem to use it in a different way to we do.

@rochellaine

My guild did not win the last word war though 🙁

@catwing @jenwriter17

Okay, I’m putting my timer on.

@jenwriter17

I have a secret… for some reason Scrivener counts more things as words than Word, I’m pretty sure.

But yes, I would love another war. Pizza calls right now, but I’m sure I can eat and type. I need a handicap anyhow.

Also, do you want to do that “share the last sentence you wrote” or something like that for some fun?
