We do have bilbies though. Do you know what bilbies look like?

Behold the gloriously adorable bilby.

Shush, Ariel. Its research 🙂

@ariel-ashira

I think the reason they’re so bad here is because God didn’t make them as part of this environment. There’s nothing that really eats them or keeps them under control and they breed like crazy.

You know what else is crazy? The fact that we are talking about rabbits on the Writers Corner!

@ariel-ashira

Yep. They’re usually just a pest, they eat crops and compete with native wildlife, but every so often there’s a literal plague of them and they eat everything. I don’t mind pet rabbits, but I can’t abide ferals ones.

I guess they’re okay in America though, since they’re native (I assume?)

@ariel-ashira

Rabbits regularly destroy Australia, so the child’s natural love for cute and fluffy rabbits is quashed very effectively from the cradle.

We do eat chocolate rabbits though.

I mostly sound weird and out of context anyway, so I’ve given up bothering 😛

I actually think the most unrealistic thing about musicals is that they do something and then sing a completely applicable song. Whereas I go through life singing things that have no application to the context. 😀

Again, I think it comes for me to my love…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, your loss, I guess. 😛  Or your gain…depends on how you look at it.

Okay, so I don’t really like those kinds of musicals.  I have a couple of reasons.  One is something I’ve mentioned before.  I like songs that I can sing simply and around places without worrying they’ll sound weird out of context.  The old movie musi…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Australians don’t like rabbits. They’re a plague 🙂

Yep.

@seekjustice Ah, okay.  It’s a culture thing?  In that case I can see why you don’t think it’s cute. 😉

Do you mean musicals like Les Mis which are basically all song and no spoken dialogue?

@rochellaine

Well, in Australia rabbits are not considered cute. That’s just the way it is.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Baby wombats and echidnas, once they’ve got fur, are cuter 🙂 Also our neighbours Papilon (I know that isn’t spelt right) puppies are also very cute.</p>
Hey, I’ve got a musical question for you. Do you like sung-through…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, I guess I’ll see you later.  Glad you, at least, think it’s really cute. 😛

@seekjustice Just “kinda cute?”  What do you have in Australia that’s cuter than this? 😉 (I actually will agree that this isn’t really the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.  I like my sister’s Shih Tzu puppies better.)

How goes the editing?  Have Sap…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Bye 🙂

@Rochellaine

Oh, its kinda cute 😄

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice

Isn’t he cute? 😀 (I actually think he looks rather like a mouse, but then…mice can be cute, too. 😉 )

@rochellaine

Yay for the bunny!

@jenwriter17

Haha yes. I am indeed!

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice I’m back!  I think the bunny is going to survive.  I was able to get some milk down him and warm him up, and now his ears are up and he has eaten a bit of clover. 🙂  My little sister is very happy. 😀

How’s it going?

@jenwriter17

I like doing read throughs were I annotate everything rather sarcastically. But actual editing… I don’t mind what I’m doing now, which is literally rewriting the whole thing, but once it gets down to line editing and agonising over every single word…I don’t like that.

@jenwriter17

True, they could be. Are you enjoying it though?

@jenwriter17

Awesome! You’re doing pretty well. I’m only up to Chapter 3, where Chessy goes to the park for the first time.

@jenwriter17

Yay! Editing! How far through are you?

@jenwriter17 I would be, except I’m taking care of a wild baby bunny who might be dying, upon the request of my little sister. 🙂  I’m holding it in one hand as I type.

So, I can’t work on my book with only one hand available to type, but I’m willing to chat if you like. 😉

Oh, and now I’m reading a book to one of my other little sisters.…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Yep, I’m editing Stars and writing Quillon and Sapphire’s first meeting. 🙂
