@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]

@rochellaine

I need some help getting a female name for one of my novels. Its a WWI novel so she was born in the late 1890s. I’m looking for a name that’s not, like, Mary or Jane or Philomena. Do you have any ideas? I want it to be sort of unique but not out of place for the historical period.

Done for now. . .

Yo, peeps! I’m writing. Ish. . .

SeekJustice — That writer’s block meme is hilarious.

@jenwriter17

Yeah, my parents have a Mac which I found really difficult to use, which is why they ended up buying me my own computer which Word works much better on 🙂

That’s one of the great aspects of Scrivener in my opinion.

@jenwriter17

Oh, Scrivener is awesome! I usually do my first drafts in Microsoft Word, but I find Scrivener really useful for editing and sorting things out.

@jenwriter17

I’m actually getting ready to go into town and do some shopping for my mum.

@jenwriter17

Life’s a bit crazy today so I may disappear without warning, but I’ll join you for a bit.

@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

We have to sign up before we turn eighteen. At least, I did, and I’m pretty sure its mandatory to do it before eighteen. I believe in America you don’t have to vote, (is that right?) but in Australia you have to.

The safe children policies are basically to stop child abuse. And you have to do the training for everything you get i…[Read more]

@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]

@rochellaine

Oh yes! That too 😀 It’s really annoying 😛

Child safety ones. Do you have those sort of things in America?

I don’t know if that’s true or not, but that woman is doing a bad job at it 😀

@ariel-ashira Hello!

@jenwriter17 I’ve only done it once, last year, but I’ve done the Camps four times (I think). I think the best advice is to…[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]

@jenwriter17 😀

@rochellaine

My sister and I are watching a movie on Alexandria and Nicholas, and Alexandria sounds strangely southern American 😀 At least, she doesn’t sound Russian. 😛

@jenwriter17

I’m extremely tired of it all. Things were much simply six weeks ago 😛

@rochellaine I need word wars too. But I’m stuck with filling out heaps and heaps of online forms because a sudden phenomena (ie, turning eighteen) has struck me and goodness knows what I might do now.

@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?

@rochellaine How’s things?

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 Hallooo!
