The fledgling Artist

@rochellaine Ah, that makes sense – got it.

@rochellaine @seekjustice @jenwriter17 You on right now?

@ariel-ashira Thanks, I’m glad you like my poems. 🙂 I didn’t mean my poems are bad.  I meant that they don’t have themes or deep meanings.  They are meant simply to entertain – to make people laugh – to be light, fluffy, airy creatures which don’t make you think about the meaning of life.

And while a lot of people, including myself, love to r…[Read more]

@rochellaine You do to write good poems!  They are not empty!

@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…
