@seekjustice I didn’t do overly well. Got 214 words. But it’s a start. 🙂
Want to share favorite sentences or last sentences or something?

@seekjustice Ten minutes it is!
I’ll start now.

@seekjustice Thankfully, no abyss. 😛 Just Thanksgiving, and crazy moving to a new house sort of stuff.
Sounds great! I’ve got an idea for a short story that I want to try out, so I’ll pull up a blank document while you name the time.

@seekjustice Are you here? Want to word war or chat or something?

@seekjustice I found a website that has a recording of the entire opera (which I’m listening to right now 😉 ):

And the libretto here:

And a few scenes from the opera on…[Read more]

It’s a musical which sort of partially inspired QOD. I watched it back when I was staying in London. It is not a deep show by any means and the plot and character development is not there but I listen to some of the soundtrack when I do my writing for QOD. 😛

I get the feeling. Always get that after watching a good show. Got it for QOD after watching 42nd Street. 😛
Sooner or later? That’s a crucial phrase you inserted there. 😛

Hi good to know you enjoyed yourself at Les Mis. 🙂
So how inspired are you now for SFI/Wattle Fire? 😛

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
@seekjustice I’m reading up on this page and see you saying something about seeing Les Miserables live???!! That’s so cool!! 😀 Did you like it?

@seekjustice I know you don’t like operas, but have you heard of the opera Silent Night? My family went to see it tonight, and it made me think of you because it’s about the Christmas Treaty of 1914.
I’m here now, and will be for a little bit, as we just arrived home and I am wide awake. 😛 Anyone want to word war?

Oh dear. In that case hopefully it’ll be a bad production and you wouldn’t feel inspired at all!
(Just kidding. Please enjoy yourself). 😛

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
Well, hopefully you’ll leave the show feeling even more inspired! 😀
Nope, no daylight savings here. I think it is an obsolete concept. It started out as a way to conserve energy right? (More daylight, less energy used for lighting). But I think people will be wasting energy regardless nowadays.

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
All right. Talk to you another time. 🙂
How exciting! I know you listen to the soundtrack but is it your first time watching the musical live? 😀
Ah, yes. Daylight savings. That explains why the time stamps on this forum are different. The whole concept of it escapes me though. 😛

Looks like we both missed each other yesterday. 😛 But I can probably come on again in about five and a half hours if you want. Let me know if you are free to chat today.
I think you are actually three hours ahead of me? (Which is weird because I could have sworn it was two last time). So that’ll actually be 3.30pm for you? I’m not sure. 😛

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
Hey so are you around now?

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
Sorry will be working so won’t be able to join. 😛 However, I should be able to chat during my break (in about 4 hours which is about 2.30pm for you?). Let me know if you want to.
I would invite you guys too but I don’t want to promote the bad habit of staying up late on the comp. 😛

@seekjustice Perhaps. I’ve heard that the British do not excessively display flags either except on national holidays, though, so I kind of think it may be just an American thing. Not that Americans are necessarily more patriotic than others, just that we more outwardly and excessively display and rejoice in our patriotism. 😉
To clarify: I d…[Read more]

@bluejay Nope, I don’t have it. Sorry. 🙁 But that sounds like an interesting business to have!
@seekjustice That sounds like a fun game.
Yeah, we’ve got flags everywhere. American flags, state flags, sometimes other flags as well, for organizations, always placed under the American and state flags. And if you go down South you do have the…[Read more]
