Poor Maryland, I feel sorry for it now 😀

It’s a good thing for everyone involved in KP that I am not an evil stalker coming to murder you all, because once I know where everything is I can narrow things down pretty quickly 😛

I tried to edit my post and it got deleted.  So here I’m posting it again. 🙂

@ariel-ashira @alia It’s not an amazing poem, but you can read it if you want.  Here’s the link.

@seekjustice Wow, good logic! 😛 Okay, so I live in Maryland.  Literature usually designates Maryland as part of the South.  We have fox hunts, fried chicken, pla…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

That’s exactly right! It’s a good excuse to get out a social situation you never wanted to be in though. “Excuse me, I must go. My child is calling.”

@jenwriter17

I think I’m free now 😀 But still, my novel is calling me and Michael Cerularius is not.

@jenwriter17

Well, I’m critiquing the excommunication of Michael Cerularius in the Santa Sophia church, trying to finish off my novel and also listening to Irish music, all the while getting distracted by Pinterest. Such is life.

@rochellaine

I’m not sure if you ever have said explicitly. But my brain decided you lived in Virginia. Based on what you said the other day though, about Washington DC, you probably either live in Virginia (or West Virginia), Maryland or Delaware.

So you live in the South but aren’t really…Southern?

@seekjustice Well, if you look at it technically and literally, I am in the South.  I live below the Mason-Dixon line which is the official start of Dixie.  There’s a reason I can give you for why most people think we don’t live in the south, but before I do that:

What state do you think I live in?  I don’t remember ever stating sp…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

I’ve learnt more about the Great Schism of 1054 than I ever thought I wanted to 😛

I don’t know, once I start a novel I just ovsessively keep going until I’m at the end.

@jenwriter17

Oh cool! I love going to the zoo 🙂 I’m not writing currently but I’m critiquing my dad’s bible college paper.

@rochellaine

Okay, I’ll be sure to tell her that too!

Well, I’ve heard the saying before, but only in American movies. But…wait…aren’t you from the south too? *frowns again at map*

@ariel-ashira

Dog-sledding in Alaska sounds really cool!

Um.  We call them “Police men with dogs”. Okay no, it’s called the Dog Unit, or the Dog Squad, I just looked it up.

@seekjustice I’m not back. 😀  I’m just popping in to say give that advice to your sister, sure, but tell her to take it with a grain of salt, since it comes from a writer who can’t possibly kill her own characters. 😛

Also to say that I’ve never that I can remember heard @catwing‘s saying. 😉  America’s a big place, and we have a lot of di…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Bye! (I’ll pass that advice on)

The Scarlet Pimpernel is a fun book! Nowhere near as deep as A Tale of Two Cities or anything, but it’s a light read and that’s sometimes the best thing.

@catwing I don’t know, but we don’t say that! Does it kind of mean, “that’s just the way things are”?

@seekjustice Tell your sister that I understand the problem, but from everything I’ve read with advice on writing that’s considered a very bad reason to kill a character.  If you need to kill them off, have a good reason to do so.  Don’t just do it because you can’t think of anything else to do. 😀

random marquis that Marguerite accidently d…

@catwing Completely off topic, but that is basically the weirdest saying ever. No one says that in Australia ;D

@catwing I might cause my readers less pain if they did take death escape classes. Though, I mean, they’ve had some pretty good escapes. One of my characters was executed, and then I resurrected him.

@rochellaine

My feelings on Jane Austen are not complimentary. For the amount that the guillotine features in the Scarlet Pimpernel books, people rarely ever die. In fact, I don’t think anyone dies in the first one excepting that random marquis that Marguerite accidently denounced before the start of the book. And, like…um…I can’t think of…[Read more]

@catwing Your brother got you a sword?  Well, my brother got me a Civil War style Colt Navy revolver.  Top that!

😛 😛 😛 😛 😛

Seriously, though, I read your blog post about it and the sword sounds really cool!

(Especially since the range we normally go to won’t allow black powder guns, so I rarely get to shoot the revolver anyway. 🙁 )

@rochellaine I’ll find you all one day 😛

Nope, I put it up the other day when I was talking to you about all the things I wanted to do in America, because I realised I literally have no idea where anything in America is. So it’s up there now, and I have some sort of mental picture of all the states in relation  to one another. It’s up there…[Read more]

@seekjustice Thank you!  Bless you!  I will survive.

And think of the many great authors who didn’t kill characters in every novel.  Even C.S. Lewis didn’t.  He only killed characters in some of his books.  Jane Austen, of course, but you don’t like her, so that’s not really a good argument.

Can’t you all think of any more?

@alia Thank you f…[Read more]
