I recall reading some article somewhere about sentences which make sense in context but sound really weird/hilarious/nonsensical/criminal when they are just put out there by itself. That’s the sort of thing that happens when we put out the last sentence of our word wars 😛

@catwing

Hi, like I told @rochellaine I’ll be going out for a while so I won’t be able to word war but I will be able to chat if you want.

@catwing Hello! 😀

Brunch is amazing, isn’t it?  I mean, for breakfast, your choices are limited, but brunch can be anything!  There are so many possibilities!

Are you writing now?  Or did you just come for the food?

@valtmy Ah, big difference there. 😛  I see.  Yes, context is everything. 😉

@rochellaine

The sentence stated that she felt regret, not pity. @seekjustice has read Part 2 so she would know who Hyunjoo is so the sentence might make more sense to her. Not that either of you would be able to really tell what’s going on. These kinds of sentences only make sense in context. 😛

But yes, I’ll be worried if Myeongwol has gotten…[Read more]

@valtmy Okay.  Should I tag you as “brunch”? ( @catwing ) 😉

Haha, I guess it wouldn’t have done me any good to look it up, in that case. 😛  Good thing I asked you.

But did I hear aright?  Did your little, selfish Myeongwol actually feel pity for someone other than herself? 😮 😛

@rochellaine

A little, I guess. 🙂 But I’ll be going off for brunch in a bit. I will be able to talk to you still on this forum but I won’t be doing any more writing until afternoon.

Hahaha… Hyunjoo is the name of one of my characters. 😛

@valtmy Is it going any better after the word war?

What is a Hyunjoo? (I’m being lazy and not looking it up like I did with @seekjustice‘s “brumby” a few days ago.)

😛

@rochellaine

I have 244.

She heard the sleeping Hyunjoo whimpering below and could not help the sickening swell of regret that bloomed in her chest.

@valtmy I got 383 words.

My last sentence:

A few words were spoken in hushed voices between themselves, but no one spoke to her.

@valtmy All right!  Here I go. 🙂

@rochellaine

All right. 15 minutes?

@valtmy I’m back now! 😀

@rochellaine

Chores remain the same no matter what part of the world we are. 😛 Well, my laundry is all nicely hung now so let me know when you return.

@valtmy I don’t always do so, but I had a particular reason for using the meanings of names in this book, especially since name meanings were more specifically used in that time period than they are now.

I think we may have. It might have been Chara, though.  I think we concluded that (whichever one of my characters it was) my character would…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, yes. For my own characters, I usually choose their names based on the meaning and what is fitting (unless I really, really can’t think of anything in particular and go with something that just sounds nice). I had a blast researching the meaning of different Korean names.

Well, Myeongwol is still miserable as well so don’t worry…[Read more]

@valtmy Yes, I think I’m keeping her name as Bathshua.  I’m expecting people to think it’s weird, but I’m also expecting them to pretty much accept it because it’s set in a time period they’re already going to think is pretty different, so a weird name won’t be so strange.  And I have a specific reason I need her to be named B…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hi! Oh, it’s been a while since I last heard about Bathshua (that is still her name right? Because I thought you were thinking of changing it). How’s she doing? Still miserable?

Haha the concern you and @seekjustice have for what Myeongwol is up to is really cute. That sentence really had unfortunate implications, didn’t it? 😛 But…[Read more]

@valtmy Hello, I’m here!  I’ve actually been writing a poem, but didn’t see you were here until now that I’ve finished.

Guess I’ll get on to some serious work now, writing Daughter of Judas. 😉

How are you doing?  Is your character (sorry, I can’t spell her name 😉 ) still worried about how to repay that woman for her sacrifice?

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @catwing

(pokes head out)

Anyone around?

@seekjustice

I won’t be on today but will likely be tomorrow since there’ll be a day off. 😀

Just dropping by to clarify: No, of course Courageous won’t be whipping anyone into shape. I meant that Juqing could probably whip Courageous’ court into shape. That or just replace them all.

A happy ending? Oh dear, is that a spoiler? 😛
