@Rolena-Hatfield I don’t know the answer to that specific question, though I suspect it very much depends on whether it was a formal joust (or even a royal joust) or a rougher, livelier joust hosted by a baron or some other ‘petty’ lord. ‘Country’ jousts were rough and probably a lot less organized. Royal jousts were merely for the show of it,…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper basically a heavy, chronic hand cramp caused by perpetual repetitive motion. The motion of holding/moving a pencil… over… and over… and over… even typing can give it to you, though that’s less common. The muscles get weary of being frozen in one position for too long and just seize up. It’s not pleasant. 😛

@dragon-snapper I grin to myself for the next half of a day, generally. And bounce up and down when I am on my own. To the others I may mention I got a grand idea which is going to be really cool, but since they don’t know the background of my stories, an explanation generally falls flat, if I try at all.

@Jess oh yes, no argument there— Big Hero 6 was awesome. Much better than Frozen. But Frozen was still very enjoyable.

@Mark-Kamibaya I watched Frozen for the first time just a few days ago and actually really enjoyed it. I was surprised— expecting a typical ‘princess’ story and it was anything but. I recommend it.

@Jadamae I will definitely be praying. Lymes disease can be really nasty.

@Kate-Flournoy I don’t freak out anymore. That was just the first time.

And yes to scaring yourself at night… Like going downstairs in the dark and then thinking about a hand reaching out of the shadows… *shudders*

@kate-flournoy I finished my chapter. About 1000 words or so written. I have to go start supper now.

@The-Bean yikes. That does not sound pleasant. 😛

@Hope @Dragon-Snapper @The-Bean I got 871 words written. What did you guys accomplish?

@Dragon-Snapper ok great. Still counts. 😉

@The-Bean great. I’ll tag you when we stop.

@The-Bean ha! Yeah, that would be kinda counterproductive. 😛

@Hope me. See ya at 4:00.

@Hope aha, so I’m not the only one who freaks out at being the only adult in creaky houses at night… XD
Actually sometimes I freak myself out on purpose just for the experience. Like, walking home in the dark. I KNOW if I start thinking about freaky things I’m going to freak out, but I do it anyway. *shrug* What’s life without a little imagination? 😛

@Hope aha, so I’m not the only one who freaks out at being the only adult in creaky houses at night… XD

@overcomer @daeus @kate-flournoy @aella @jess @dragon-snapper @the-bean @anyone I’m going to be writing for the next hour if anyone else is on.

@Ethryndal I don’t generally do that, but sometimes I’ll take what is happening and use it to make a scene more realistic. Like once I was in charge of the house while Mom and Dad were gone overnight, and all the creaking through the night freaked me out, then I used the emotions from that ‘scene’ in a similar scene in a book where a princess is…[Read more]

@The-Bean huh. That’s really cool.
