@alia Sorry, I can’t be on tonight. Will you be on tomorrow?

@jane-maree @sam-kowal @ariel-ashira Thank you all so much! I’m beginning to figure this out now 🙂

@catwing oh, good to know 😉

Rin would probably rather be deaf. Not sure why though.

would your character rather be duct taped to a plane mid flight or jump into Niagara Falls? Yeah this total random craziness 😜

@skredder My character (Rin) would probably rather fly. Since she lives in the city, it would come in handy 🙂

@alia haha, well I’m glad you don’t have the same trouble 🙂

@kate-flournoy @daeus Thank you both! I’ve been meaning to get part 2 of the course…. 🙂

@skredder Awesome! I’ll try to read it tonight 😉

@seekjustice Haha, Hooray! 😀

Got to go!  Goodnight!

@seekjustice And in the past few minutes I’ve completely changed my ideas of what those names sound like to me.  So forget that whole list, I guess. 😛

Like I said, though, whatever you choose will end up being great, because the readers will like the character and probably end up liking the name.

But still choose Adelaide and “Ladle”!

@seekjustice I think it can depend on what type of girl she is.  Florence makes me think “Florrie” and so I think of a delicate flower of a girl.  Adeline is a bit harsher, because of the heavy “d” and “i”.  Violet again is delicate.  Harriet sounds like a bit of a stiff, motherly sort of person, and Charlotte hits me the same way.  Flora is beau…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, but when you’re speaking it you can’t tell the difference between Frances and Francis.  It’s sort of like Aaron and Erin.  Though those two are pronounced with a very slight variation, most people can’t tell the difference.

Nicknames for Adelaide?  Adele, Addy, Addie, Lady, Aida, Day, Dae, shall I go on? 😛 (I’ve thought of se…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, I really don’t like gender-neutral names, since there’s already too much of that going on in the world lately, so I don’t like Francis much at all. 🙁 sorry, sister of SeekJustice. 😀  Angelica is very nice, but almost too pretty, isn’t it?  I like Adelaide a lot! (Not personally, but in comparison with Augustine, I mean. 😉 )…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, I knew a girl named Tabitha too, and she was nice.  I just don’t happen to like the name.  But it’s just my preference.

I do like those better, but…what station were Mr. and Mrs. Quillon?  Augustine sounds pretty grandiose, while Tabitha, Abigail, and Bethany all sound like calico and sunbonnets.  Augustine sounds more lik…[Read more]

@seekjustice Cool!  One of my brothers plans to be a missionary pilot.

I’ll do that!  Thanks. 😉

Well, I really don’t like the name Tabitha, but I guess you’re trying to get an old-fashioned, not-so-pretty name to match Augustine, right?

(Oh, or do you actually like the name Tabitha?  I hope I didn’t just horrify you by calling it unpretty!  Sorry…)

@seekjustice Do you know a lot of pilot jargon? 😛  I think you said something about knowing a pilot, but I don’t really remember.

Chara is, but Uncle Bill isn’t.  I can’t tell when he’s going to be out of the hospital until I know what’s wrong with him, and at present I have no idea what’s wrong with him. 😛  Poor Uncle Bill!  But anyway, he’…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, during WWI the pilots could see each other pretty well since the planes weren’t as sealed in as they are now, right?  I’ve read of dogfights where the pilots saw the expressions on their opponents’ faces sometimes.

Well actually right now it’s going okay.  I think. 😛  I’m at a kind of boring part so I’m hoping I can get th…[Read more]

@seekjustice  Dogfights are cool, but I wouldn’t know how to write them either. 😀  Have you read the Tales of the RAF by Don Patterson?

Well, right now I have my stuff on a flash drive  so I’m trying to work on my western from our desktop computer. 🙂

@seekjustice Working on anything at present?

@seekjustice I’m gonna have to go now. I might be on tomorrow 🙂
