I’m looking at the Story Embers survey they sent out about how to improve their site, and having mixed thoughts from “cool” to “weird” to “that’s totally a loaded question” to “funniest thing ever!” 😛  Did you fill out the survey yet?

The question that made me really laugh was this one:

On a scale of 1 (least) to 5 (most), how…

I’ll (hopefully) be writing a bit.

@bluejay  I might be able to do it, depends on how hectic life gets. 😉 I’m interested, anyway!

@valtmy

Thanks very much for your thoughts! I’ll definitely keep all those things in mind as I start my outline again 😀

(I would write a much longer reply, but my brain is super fuzzy and honestly not working that great 😛 )

@valtmy I put it in another post.

I was planning for it to be 90-100k.

@valtmy And I didn’t put the link in. *sighs*

@valtmy

Here’s the link. If you want, I can add more chapters when you’re done.

(Also, this is actually most of the stuff I wrote before NaNo. And it took me a while to pin down a good way to write Courageous’ stammer, so it is incredibly annoying in the first few chapters and I haven’t bothered to edit it yet).

@valtmy

If you’d like, I can put the first few chapters or so in a google doc for you to have a look at.

Only if won’t distract you too much for QoD.

@valtmy

….All of the above?

Seriously, I feel like it has every problem under the sun.

@valtmy

That’s good news 🙂

I’m currently planning out all the scenes on my corkboard, trying to get something to kind of work.

@Valtmy

Well, the phone screen was spattered with foam once I finished 😛

How’s QoD coming along?

@valtmy

I’m currently in the throes of washing up (😝 ), but I’m sure I’ll end up back here eventually.

@rochellaine

At least your able to laugh at your country 😛 I greatly admire that 😀

@seekjustice Here are some lyrics I think you might find amusing.

This is the chorus to a song from WWI that I learned a few years back.  Obviously, it was written by an American and shows just how much we tend to think of ourselves. 😛

The Russians were rushin’ the Prussians,
The Prussians were crushin’ the Russians.
The Balkins were balkin’…

Hey guys. Sorry I haven’t been around much. I’m trying to make more time for writing. Still tag me if you’re keen to write, and I’ll hopefully be around. 🙂

@seekjustice @valtmy I am here now.

@seekjustice 😛

I see.

There are a few from the same people.  I think the series is titled “The Perfect Aussie Christmas.”

In this one Americans come to Australia, trying to do an American style Christmas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmmxqRwHAfA

I guess I’m a bit of a Grinch, to be honest 😛 Six weeks is a long time.

No, we don’t really do Santa Claus, though my dad used to have a work party where there’d be a guy dressed up as Santa and he’d give us presents 😀

I’m not entirely sure what constitutes a hilarious Australian commercial, but it sounds fascinating 😛

@seekjustice Well, at least it’s only for about a month and a half out of the year, right? 😛

As for there being only eight…I’m pretty sure I know at least a hundred, especially if you count Christmas hymns. 😉

Do you do Santa Claus in your family?  We never “believed in” him, but we did pretend and we sing all the Santa Claus songs,…[Read more]
