Would you mind sending me another link? I think that was the reason I stopped reading in the first place–because it got lost somewhere in my piles and piles of Google docs.

Oh yes, I would love it if you can let me know what you think. 😀

Haha that sentence really made things sound ominous, didn’t it? 😛
By the way, I keep forgetting to ask, but how much of my doc for QOD have you read? I noticed your comments stopped halfway but is it because you haven’t read the rest or you have no further comments?

At this rate, I’m afraid you’re going to have to wait really long… 😛
It’s not my fault 15 minutes ended right then and there and made that the last sentence. 😛

Though definitely intriguing. Why did poor Cele see gongs and get confused?

Well, you certainly know how to disturb people.
Goodnight
And yours is just a tad confusing 😛

Oh, and @valtmy I can’t wait to read your book once it’s completed! 😉

@seekjustice @catwing @valtmy This was so much fun! And very useful. 😀 😀
I’m going to depart now.
Goodnight everyone!  Happy writing!

@seekjustice @rochellaine @catwing
I have 361 words.
My last sentence:
But for sacrificing her son… What could Myeongwol possibly give to pay back this debt?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
@catwing @seekjustice @valtmy 342 words.
My chosen sentence:
The ache in her stomach intensified, and she pressed a hand against it as though it would calm at the touch.
The last sentence I wrote:
I shall go tonight.

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
I just finished my fifteen minutes. I got 415.
My last sentence (hence my interest in colts):
Several foals, all varying shades of brown, three black mares and a yearling colt, who looked big enough to be kicked out of the mob any day now.
-
SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
Well, I’ve just noticed a lot of use of the word colt. Just then I saw “rounding up mustang mares and colts”, etc. So I was wondering if it had a different meaning.
“Some guns are called colts” was also my immediate thought.
All right, I’m putting on my timer again @Catwing

@catwing I’ll start now, then. 🙂
@jenwriter17 I’ve heard many things about Nadine Brandes, but I have never read any of her stuff. 😛
@valtmy Glad you’re here! See you at the end of the word war!

Hey guys I’ve finally reached home! 🙂

@seekjustice Do you mean in horse books that you haven’t seen Americans using those words to describe horses? Or just in general that Americans don’t describe horses correctly?
Because somewhat depending on the part of the country they’re from, or how they were raised, a lot of Americans don’t know anything about horses. Or any animals. I me…[Read more]

But some people are named Colt.
😛 And my first thought was “Some guns are called Colt”
If we’re doing last sentences, then mine was pretty boring too. It was
And then Yishay had been there to meet her.

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
Righto. The things I was reading seemed to indicate it meant more generally a horse that hadn’t reached mature age. Here it very specifically means a horse between 1-4. Younger than 1 is a foal, and a female is a filly. I’ve never really seen any Americans use those terms though, which was why I was a little confused.

@catwing Okay, my sentences were all pretty short in the last section I wrote, so I’m going to give two that go together:
“We have not killed your brother, girl. We speak the truth.”
@jenwriter17 @seekjustice Shall we have another word war?
@valtmy Are you home yet?
