@seekjustice  (Sorry it took so long to respond!!) I think you should describe the setting more. I mean, I get the idea that the story is set in futuristic Australia, but I feel like the descriptions aren’t… authentic enough. I don’t know exactly what you’d need to do to improve on it, but basically just make the setting and world more…[Read more]

@seekjustice  I could really feel the emotion in it. You did well.

May I offer a suggestion? If so, should I do it here? In your doc? Somewhere else?

@rochellaine  Good night! Hope to see you tomorrow. Earlier in the night would be even better. XD

@seekjustice  I’m enjoying your book so far! I just finished reading over Justice’s riot in front of the town hall. It really made my heart pound.

@dekreel Cool!  I can’t wait to read it!

I will have to wait until tomorrow, though, even if you get it done tonight.  I’m leaving now. 🙁

Talk to you later.

@seekjustce Bye!

@rochellaine  I’ve finished beta-reading and now I’m working on the comical poem prompt you gave me. 😉

@seekjustice  I know, you just didn’t know I was here. 😉 Going pretty well!

@dekreel Hi!!  I’m starting to get sleepy, though.  I’ll be here for a few more minutes.

What are you working on?

@rochellaine  @seekjustice  Heyyyy, I’m still here! 😉

@seekjustice Do people use satellite GPS in Australia?  I know it can still be hard to find something even with that, though.

@seekjustice Oh, that’s not too bad.  We used to live that far out, except for I think a farmers market or something that was nearby.  Nobody visiting could EVER find our house! 😛  We got so many calls from guests, saying “sorry, we’re confused.  Where exactly are you?”

Now we live in the suburbs (I think that’s what it’s called) so the sto…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’ll give the whole thing away if I tell you, so you’ll have to wait and read it when it’s done. 😉

Nice. 🙂  How far from town do you live?

@seekjustice I’m working on a new short story.

What do you do in town besides go to the library?

@seekjustice “Gesticulate” from Kismet.  In the musical, right before the song, a poet/storyteller is arrested and his hand threatened to be cut off.  The guy in charge gives him a chance to argue, and he sings this song about how much his hand is needed in his profession, and why he can’t be a storyteller without his hand.  You have to see his ha…[Read more]

@amy-l-klob  I found a website with boys names in the 1700s that might help out a little! My favorite names on the list for your character are Abe, Amos, Asa, Eli, Ike, Jed, Oscar, Reuben, Stanley,  and Thaddeus. Hope that helps! 🙂

@seekjustice Are you at the library yet?  I did end up thinking of a song. 😛  For some reason it jumped into my head this evening, and as I realized that I hadn’t told you about it before.  It is old, though, so you might not like it. 🙁

@catwing  They do sound cute!

Don’t you live on a farm? I forgot. If so what kinds of animals do you have?

@catwing  What kind of goats do you have? (I know nothing whatsoever about goat breeds or anything like that. Lecture me if you wish. 😛 )

@catwing  You sound busy! I wish my writer life was that lively. 😛

Haha, goats, eh? What’s it like having goats?

@catwing  CHESHIRE CATWINGIE! 😉

Hello! How are you doing?

@rochellaine  @catwing  @valtmy  @seekjustice

‘Ello. Anyone here?

@valtmy No, this one’s not a comedy.  I love writing comedic short stories, but I seem to only be able to do that on the spur of the moment, and all at once.  I can’t really decide to write one, it just happens. 😛  It’s the same with my comedic poems.

Sorry, but I can’t really tell you what it’s about, because it would give everything away.  I m…[Read more]
