@rochellaine @catwing @jenwriter17
And I’m pretty sure I have no interesting sentences, but this one…
This brumby was one of a highly sought after colouring–not quite pure white, but not cream or golden either.
…is a reference to one of my favourite childhood books, The Silver Brumby.

Guess what? I got 269. Without eating pizza.
I’m sort of stuck on the details of capturing brumbies though. Exactly how one does it with a horse and no helicopter.
By the way, Jen. Since you are an American horsie person, what does the word colt mean? You seem to use it in a different way to we do.

@seekjustice @catwing @jenwriter17 I got 339 words. What sentences are we supposed to share?

My guild did not win the last word war though 🙁
Okay, I’m putting my timer on.

Well that sounds interesting. Maybe you should take a step back and review your plans for your plot and story.
Sorry I’ll have to pass on the word war because I’m not home yet…

@catwing @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @valtmy Or, as Catwing suggests, favorite sentence. I have no preference. 😛

@seekjustice @catwing @valtmy @jenwriter17 So are we having a ten minute word war?
Sure, let’s do the “last sentence” game. 🙂

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
@jenwriter17 I think we all agree that there is no real competing with Seekjustice in terms of how fast we write.
…but we can all dream. 😀
@seekjustice 😛 But Sir Patrick Stewart was bald first, and he was/is considered one of the most handsome men of his time.
@catwing She didn’t particularly do anything…it was more her brother’s fault. …[Read more]

I have a secret… for some reason Scrivener counts more things as words than Word, I’m pretty sure.
But yes, I would love another war. Pizza calls right now, but I’m sure I can eat and type. I need a handicap anyhow.
Also, do you want to do that “share the last sentence you wrote” or something like that for some fun?

@jenwriter17 @valtmy @rochellaine @catwing
Um, hello again!
My timer has gone off, though I’m not sure about Catwing’s. I got 596 for all who wanted to know.
I was also just laughing because “Prince William gave hope to thousands of bald Englishmen by losing his hair”.

@catwing What if breakfast tagged you back? Would you invite it over for dinner?
@valtmy Hello! Good question. The more I think about it, the more I’m seeing that the direction may work out very well if I handle it correctly. It just freaked me out because it makes things WAY more complicated! But that can be a good thing, as it might add…[Read more]

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
Nearly tagging breakfast?? Are you hungry or something? 😛
Hi! Haven’t talked to you for a long while.
How would you know for sure whether the direction is wrong or right? 😛

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
@seekjustice Please forgive us for abandoning you! 😛
@jenwriter17 @catwing I’m back now.
Are we having more word wars?
Daughter of Judas just took an unexpected turn and I am quite astonished at it. I am also trying to figure out how to turn it back onto the right path because the turn it took was decidedly in the wrong direction. 😉

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
Awesome. See you then 🙂

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
I do my writing using plain text files because they are light and don’t give lag issues. I currently use Jotterpad on Android and sync it to my laptop using dropbox.

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
I believe it does, though I don’t really use those features a lot.
Ah, that’s why you were wondering about Android. What do you currently use? Google docs or something like that?
I’m fairly certain Scrivener can be synced into a word doc, but I much not sure how to do that.

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
Oh, that’s cool. Does it have research functions (e.g. dictionary, thesaurus check)?
My main concern with using Scrivener is that I know it is not supported on Android so I can’t write on the go unless I keep syncing it somehow.
Hi! Good luck for NaNo! I’m not writing now because I’m just heading off for breakfast so I…[Read more]

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
Aha! Someone to word war with! You may choose however long you like 😀

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
Yes, I am still sick but I feel I’ve been miserable for long enough and must drag myself from my sickbed and start writing.
By the way, I started my NaNo novel a few days early and was writing it in Scrivener and I love it! I’m finding it quite easy to use for first drafting, easier than I expected.

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
Well, we’ll just have to keep each other company then. 😛 How’s it going with you?
Oh, and you’ve been sick? And right when Nanowrimo is starting!
