I vote fantasy as well, and no, it doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that my current read is fantasy too. 😛 (Ranger’s Apprentice yeaaaahhh!!)

(also if this post shows up twice, don’t blame me. Blame the angry computer gnomes in my laptop.)

@rochellaine I assure you potato-squash is not poisonous. That is an interesting prompt though. 🙂

@catwing @daughteroftheking @seekjustice @princessfoo Awesome! So what genre do you guys vote we start with?

I vote fantasy (and it has nothing to do with the fact that I’m reading a fantasy right now and I hate stopping books in the middle to read a different one 😛 ) My second option would be historical.

We’ll probably close the voting on…[Read more]

@jenwroter17 *whispers in corner* I might perhaps join in…

@jenwriter17 *rises dramatically out of the floor* Count me in!

@valtmy Sorry for dropping out on you. 🙁  I’m just popping in now to let you know I am not going to be on for a while, but I’ll probably be on and off later today.

@valtmy

Slack-jawed confusion is not necessarily the reaction I am going for.

Congratulations, you have now ascended to the ranks of @seekjustice, who up to this point has been the only other person I recall who made me laugh aloud just from a forum message. 😀

@valtmy Well, it’s supposed to be a comedy, right?

😛

You know you’re a writer when you see a high quality grocery bag sitting in your house and it freaks you out…because on the outside of the bag it says “I am a reusable bag” and you wonder why the bag is talking to you and who decided to give a bag a POV anyway, and whether all bags can talk and if the bags are going to start a revolution against…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Hi!  As I said above, I’m also going to be off and on, so I might take a really long time to respond sometimes.  But hello again. 🙂

@valtmy That is the problem I’m having with my western. (which I’m not working on right now, I’m doing something for my parents’ books.) I already have beta readers, you included, and I haven’t been a…[Read more]

@rochellaine @valtmy Hi!  I am back on for a bit.  I will be on and off today.

@valtmy Hello, hello!  I’m going to be in and out for a bit.  What are you working on?

@ariel-ashira Okay, goodbye. 🙂

@rochellaine I am on, but the family is waking up now so I think I will have to go.  I read about butter, but I don’t think they did that in the Middle Ages.

@ariel-ashira Haha, I can’t mind that you left without telling me yesterday since you can see I did the very same thing to @seekjustice last night! 😛

I see you two had quite the conversation this morning. 😉  Speaking of things they used to do for burns, I don’t know about the middle ages, but I know somewhere around the 1700s-1800s they would…[Read more]

@seekjustice Neat!  Seems like that would help when you are a writer. 😀

Okay, goodnight!  Tomorrow for you might be tonight for me. 🙂

@ariel-ashira

Awwww…really? *hugs*

@ariel-ashira

Oh, I should have known the aloe and honey ones. The rest are quite interesting.

Basically it means I take first aid classes every week and I have two first aid certificates.

Ah that’s me too. I often get up at 6ish to write before my family gets up. I’m probably going to go to bed now, but I’ll happily chat tomorrow 🙂

@seekjustice These are some things they used:

Honey
Flaxseed/Linseed Oil
Spirit of Turpentine
Aloe
Wine
Cold Water Compress
Lime Water

You are a first aid officer?  I should know what that means…

Well, I am here if you want to chat.  It is 7:00 in the morning here, and I am up before everyone else, so I think I can talk for a little while longer.

@seekjustice I cried when you said the same of me.
