I think the response has been pretty effective, from what I’ve seen on the news anyway. Hopefully the crisis passes soon.

At the moment I’m working on plotting the second draft of Wattle Fires and finishing off the first draft of my world war one novel. I haven’t done a lot of actual writing lately but I’ve been having a lot of fun with…[Read more]

Is that the Coronavirus? There’s been a freak out about that here too because someone in Melbourne has it.

I’d forgotten about the Lunar new year stuff. I don’t celebrate it myself but there’s usually a lot going on for it,because  of the large Asian population I guess, but I haven’t seen any decorations or anything for it this year.…[Read more]

@valtmy

Thankfully we’ve been all right, though I was evacuated from work the other day because of a fire that randomly sprang up during some really bad windy weather.

How have you been?

@valtmy

You still here? It’s been a while.

@alia

That’s understandable. 🙂

I’m going to have to leave now. It’s been nice chatting with you! I might be on later, or maybe tomorrow too. Bye!

@alia

Your goals sound great! Exciting! 😀

Oh, by the way, if you’re interested there’s a new-ish website accepting guest posts currently. It’s authorssupportingauthors.com

@alia

Thanks! Yes, it’s my NaNo novel. I think we probably did talk about it before here. I’m about 60k words in so far. I’m hoping to finish the first draft by the end of January, and fully edit it (including professional editor) during 2020. Do you have any writing goals for the year?

@alia

Life really likes to get in the way of writing, doesn’t it? What kind of college classes are you taking?

Here’s the blurb for my superhero book:

@alia Okay. I’ll probably be off and on too.

I haven’t been working on much during most of December, but I’ve been mostly focusing on my superhero book and writing a guest post (currently).

Combining different aspects of cultures sounds interesting!

@alia Awesome! 😀 I’ll be on for a little bit. What’s the genre of your new WIP?

@alia Are you still here?

@seekjustice Huh, that’s too bad.

@jenwriter17 Hey there!  I’ve got to go, so I’ll talk to you again later.

Farewell!

@rochellaine

That last post worked but my last few haven’t for some reason.

@rochellaine

Good grief, what is Kingdom Pen doing?

@rochellaine @seekjustice I can’t write right now, but HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! 😀 What are you guys most looking forward to in 2020?

@seekjustice Ah yes, research can be exhausting! 🙂

I remember discussing Aida with you a bit when you first discovered it.  I never actually ended up listening to it, (probably because I’m really not at all into ancient Egypt, 😉 ) but sounds like you’ve enjoyed it.  What’s one of your favorite Celtic songs?  I love Celtic music, but don’t ac…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’m slowly pegging away at my WIP. It’s set in WW1 and I’m suffering from a classic case of there being far too much research and I’m feeling swamped by it all.

I’m not sure that I have found many new musicals lately. I’ve been listening to Aida a fair bit and a lot of Scottish Gaelic and Irish music. Not a lot of musicals…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Hey there!  It’s been a while since we had a chat on these forums. 🙂

I’ll start the conversation with the two standard questions, then. 😉  How’s your WIP going? (is it set in the Great War or WWII?) and have you discovered any new musicals lately, or what have you been re-listening to?

@rochellaine

I’m shopping at the moment, so I’ll be a bit on and off, but I’m here for a bit to chat.

@seekjustice @valtmy @jenwriter17 @alia @dekreel @catwing

Happy New Year, everyone!

I’ll be around for a while tonight if anyone’s interested in chatting or writing. 🙂
