The Impossible Girl

@valtmy

Yes. I usually do retellings of things I like quite a lot. And usually, it’s not so much that I think I have a better way of doing it, but just that I have a different way, which I’d like to explore.

No, I don’t think you should be. 😀 I also fail to see how Lancelot and Guinevere are romantic and not just plain selfish/stupid.

@rochellaine

I will more than happily word war with you, if you’d like that.

@valtmy

Well, I’d be happy to let you read it before then.

Oh yes. that’s because I’m a brilliant writer and often read things and think “I could do so much better than this”. 😛

But yeah, I do a lot of retellings. I think I enjoy the challenge of taking something that people are familiar with and changing it. It’s kind of fun. 😛

Well, I…[Read more]

I find the Arthurian legends very interesting, and I especially enjoy playing with the older versions, which a lot of people have forgotten now. I haven’t seen Merlin but it does sound interesting.

Certainly! The competition deadline isn’t until March, I think, next year, but I tend to be a procrastinator, so I thought I’d get in early…[Read more]

@valtmy

Not the Lady of the Lake but the nymph/hand/creature that gives Arthur the sword.

Not all that many. 😛 this is only a short story that I’m planning on entering into a competition. Those are the sorts of things I work on in between drafting or editing big novels.

@valtmy

I know what you mean. I’ve hardly had any time for writing lately (partly my own fault).

A writing retreat sounds like a really cool idea. I’d love to do that myself one day. It’d probably help me focus on editing a little better 😀

I’ve actually been going pretty well with that. I got lunch made for my brothers and sister and a few…[Read more]

@valtmy

Sure! How’s things?

@rochellaine

Would you like a Word War? I know you’ve been dying for one for ages.

@rochellaine

I finished The Comic History of Britain 😛

@ariel-ashira

Bye then 😀

(Yes, I do sometimes read books on Gutenberg :D)

@ariel-ashira Is that a good interesting or bad?

Nothing right now, but I will be soon.

@ariel-ashira

No worries! How’s your research going?

@jenwriter17 @valtmy

I’ll probably be on later, but I want to get some writing done today, so I might not be on as much.

@ariel-ashira

Hello! I’ll be around for a bit 🙂

@ariel-ashira, I’m so sorry I didn’t see this till just now!! I’ve been pretty low on time this year, so haven’t been on KP in ages.

Thanks so much for drawing her! She looks great. 🙂

@dekreel. Thank you so much for sharing! I will absolutely be praying for you… 🙂

I’m two weeks away from finishing my last year of high school ever!!! *gleeful rubbing of hands* (If that confuses you, it just proves that you’re an American… In Australia, we finish a school year at the end of the year… How does that not make sense???…[Read more]

@valtmy @Rochellaine

I must leave now. Bye!

@rochellaine

That would be Ned Kelly, probably the most famous Australian ever, even though he was Irish. he thought he was Don Quixote and made himself a helmet and breastplate, though this unfortunately did not deter the police, who simply shot him in the legs to prevent his escape.

In case you don’t believe what I said about a tin can…

I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

You say to the Australians, who glorify a man with a tin can on his head.

@valtmy

Hello!

@rochellaine

I was just thinking that. He makes such detailed notes on the illustrations but we’re just left to imagine them 🙁

Very good advice. I might end up with slightly odd ideas.

Imagine if he was alive today and making satirical comments on modern society 😛
