Except now I feel like stopping again. Is there an emoji for this situation? Is it worth keeping me from reading cry the beloved country or the brothers karmasomethingorotherrussian?

Hey, Ks make good kaltrops for dragons.

@bluejay I was praying when I say your comment, but didn’t quite get the chance to comment over here. So glad that you found it!!!

@jess I’ll be praying!!

The longer I stare at that, the more it messes with my eyes…

@Daeus gonna keep reading it unless you stop, hm? *chuckles* Glad I have you here to explain these things to me. 😀

In all seriousness, okay. Let me know what you thought once you finish.

@kate-flournoy Wellll… I flipped a heads, so I guess I’m gonna keep reading it unless I stop.

Kay Kate kan’t kantradict kat.

Also I’ll tag you when I start tomorrow, ‘kay?

@Daeus hey that’s not bad.

@kate-flournoy Well, that’s better than I’ve been doing recently. I did pretty good on editing tonight though. I did the first two and a half chapters from TATHOF, with the only exception of Sestin whom I’m going to focus on specifically in another round.

@Daeus I got 869— not stunning, but I got over a difficult slump where there was a lull in the action so I’m happy.

Oh, goody.

@Daeus me. And yes, I’m planning on it.

@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.

@Daeus I’d be the last person to judge you.

@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.

@Daeus yes, I know. Eldest was by far the toughest to get through. Thematically wishy-washy and not accomplishing much of anything. It’s been a while since I read Brisingr, but I do seem to remember it being a lot more interesting and a lot less eye-roll-worthy when it came to the worldview, probably because it didn’t say much of anything about it…[Read more]

@ethryndal Yep! Actually I was going to guess Princess Bride, Count Rugen to Wesley on your quote, but I guess that’s not it.
How about, “Oh, look! The princess has a powder room!” (Bonus points to whoever guesses that one.)

@warrior-of-the-realm I think chordally, so I almost always start with the melody and fill in the words, tweaking the melody as needed. But that’s just me. I think it’s because when I come up with something instrumental, it already has a meaning to me, so I know what the words are going to be about and it’s not hard for me to finish it up by…[Read more]

@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]
