The fledgling Artist

@seekjustice What type of tartan do you wear?  (The different ones mean different things, right?)

Haha, I’m an amazing procrastinator too! 😀

@seekjustice I got notified this morning of a random post from you about sewing lacy petticoats…

I think you meant to tag @valtmy 😉 I was very confused for a bit!  Actually I got on KP expecting to see a hilarious picture of a quite ruined lace petticoat sort of like this:

I hope you’ve been able to figure out how to complete the project…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, and every time I read your title I start singing “It’s a Big, Wide, Wonderful World.” 😛

@jenwriter17 I like it!

Your poem has a much better chance of getting accepted by SE than any of mine do, because yours has meaning, while all mine are silly, empty comic poems. 😛  So congratulations on that! 😀

I don’t know much (anything 😉 ) about free verse, so I can’t give you a lot of suggestions.  There are a couple of lines that don’t q…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I love it!  Great poem, Jen!

@seekjustice Good night I have to sleep now. *waves good bye*

@seekjustice which one was that? I haven’t read all of them.

@jenwriter17 Bye!

@seekjustice What do you think of Erekdale’s? 😀

@jenwriter17 I shall looks fun. 😀
Alex – Wolf with wings (because she REALLY likes wolves. She is friends with a pack of them.)
Cele – Probably a griffin. Basically a creature that can fly her around. She already has a merlin. Griffin
Jack – I actually think he would really enjoy having this flying bunny. wing-eared bunny It won’t let me post…[Read more]

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 I’m here now. Trying to get some writing done. 🙂

@kballen XD

Nope, it’s that Apple Ecosystem all the way. 😛 XD

@seekjustice I’m not going to be on anymore tonight.  So I’ll talk to you later.  Bye!

@seekjustice Oh, that’s so cool!

It is very similar to the American lists, but not identical by any means. 😉

I’ve got to disappear for a bit, but I’ll be back in perhaps 45 min or an hour, if you’re still here.

@seekjustice I see. 🙂

I’ve found a few Australian authors from the time period.  Some of their books are on Gutenberg, so you could look them up if you’re interested.  I have no idea whether they’re good or not, but I strongly hold that the absolute best way to research for a historical time period is to read stuff actually written in the time p…[Read more]

@seekjustice Cora sounds Irish to me.  Is it?

Let me know if you do find any Australian lists, won’t you?  I couldn’t find any, and I’d be interested in seeing what differences there were.  I guess you’d have access to some different sites in Australia?

@seekjustice Okay, here’s a list:

• Mona
• Lillian/Lilian
• Nan (this is a nickname for Anne)
• Elsie/Elise
• Marie (This pronunciation was made fun of so much that there’s even a song about it.  😛 “Mary’s a Grand Old Name” by George M. Cohan.  It was an extremely popular name, but – at least in America – because it was the French p…

@seekjustice …Hi…I have the best timing…I’ll finish it, just time…
@rochellaine Hello!

@seekjustice Cool! 🙂

I have a couple of comments/questions:

Your book is set in Australia, right?  What social class is your character in?

In most of the books I’ve read that were written in that time period, the more “unique/fancy” names like Lilian, Ethel, and Evelyn were often made fun of by the people who preferred more “sensible” names…[Read more]

@jenwriter Yeah, the phone is a pretty recent addition so I’m kinda-sorta obsessed with it. (Not to the detriment of my writing or anything obviously 😉 )

“Apple vs. [any-other-tech]” discussions can get…interesting. XD XP 😛

@jenwriter17 Word on macOS is pretty weird compared to a PC. *commences to geek out about tech* I was confused when I started using Windows computers at school; I’ve always used a Mac and the Windows software is a lot different than macOS.

Oh, and I’ve had conversations like the one you had with you and your brother a lot with my friends who…[Read more]
