The fledgling Artist

@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]

@dekreel Yeah. I’m gonna try to do some more writing on it either this month or November. 😐 Darn school for always getting in the way of precious writing time with nasty homework! 😉

Done for now. . .

Yo, peeps! I’m writing. Ish. . .

SeekJustice — That writer’s block meme is hilarious.

@seekjustice Yes, in America voting is not required.  Our voting laws are really weird and confusing, actually.

Ah, I see.

😛

@ariel-ashira Haha. 😛

I’m actually really sleepy.  Had a long day.  So I’m going to depart now.  Talk to you all soon, hopefully!

@rochellaine  I have been what’s cooking, I think.  I have been on SE, talking to people and trying not to burn myself.   What about you?

@jenwriter17 Goodbye! 🙁

@seekjustice I don’t believe so.  What exactly are they about?  When we’re eighteen in America we sign up to vote, and the guys have to sign up for the draft.  But you can sign up to vote when you get your driver’s license too, so I signed up when I was sixteen instead of when I turned eighteen.  And since I was born in…[Read more]

@seekjustice The biggest thing I noticed when I turned eighteen was that my parents could no longer sign me up for things.  I had to sign for myself.  And I had to carry my ID everywhere or I couldn’t get in places, since I could no longer be called a child and enter with my parents. 😉

What sort of forms are you filling out?

Haha, I’ve heard t…[Read more]

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 *slips in*  *tiny mouse voice* I’m here too.

@jenwriter17 Yes!  Did you sign it?  I LOVE the whole thing!

@jenwriter17 😀 😀 How’s it going?

@seekjustice Pretty good, generally, but with my writing…not so great.  Why can’t NaNoWriMo come sooner??  I need word wars!! 😛

How are you doing?

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 Hallooo!

@jenwriter17  . . . That would be “Darkgrate.” Don’t worry, I used to spell it wrong, too. 😉

@xonos-darkgrate  Jen says “hi.”

@seekjustice 😛

Uh, yeah, that one’s pretty ridiculous.  But then, I like ridiculous. 😉

Haha, I suppose that’s true.

Ooh!  That sounds like it’d be pretty!  I’ll definitely have to look it up.  Have you ever heard “Iain Ghlinn Cuaich”?  That one has a lovely tune.  Another Scottish song I really like is “Are Ye Sleeping Maggie?”

I’m going…[Read more]

@seekjustice Okay, I’ll look it up sometime and let you know if I like it. 🙂

“Go Home with Bonnie Jean” is so much fun!  I love bouncy Celtic style songs.  Do you know any Scottish Gaelic songs?  I know a couple, but I’m sure my pronunciation is horrible! 😛

You didn’t mean that Brigadoon was written by the same people who wrote Mary Po…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, it sounds cool.  I’ll look it up.

Is it historically accurate?  That’s the biggest problem I have when watching something “set in” a time period I like, rather than actually made/written in that period, as you know. 😉

This evening my brother gave me the Slipper and the Rose soundtrack LP. 😀 😀 😀  (Did I ever tell you I ha…[Read more]
