It is a lot of fun! The first time I showed it to one of my siblings, I can’t remember which one it was now, they thought it was “Go home with morning tea” though. I guess that shows where their mind is 99% of the time 😛 I’m listening to My Mother’s Wedding Day now and that’s rather ridiculous 😀 (Actually, the other day I was…[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]

I can’t speak for the exact make of their suits or anything, but yes, for the most part it is. It’s got a few tweaks and things, to help it flow more smoothly, but its hardly taking liberties with actual history, which I really appreciated.

I didn’t know you had a record player, but it doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m listening to…[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]

@rochellaine

It’s about King George VI, who had a severe stammer and his speech therapist, who helps him with all his speeches. It’s set in the thirties, which is why I thought you might like it. It’s pretty clean too (though, the speech therapist is…well, Australian. Thus, some of his methods are also very Australian. IE, “Swear at things when…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Aw, too bad! 🙁 See you later!

@seekjustice No I haven’t.  What’s it about?

@jenwriter17

(a tad is a very long way in Australia. Just down the road is open to interpretation) It’s lovely! I’m listening to the Porcelain album now. I have a young friend who I’m going to mention Helen Jane Long to, because if he hasn’t heard of her, I think he’d like her.  Bye!

@rochellaine

Hello! Now, I have to ask you, have you seen…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Well, I’m a bit obsessed with it at the moment. If you lived a tad closer I’d invite you over to watch it with me.

I have no idea. I don’t have Netflix so I don’t keep up to date with what they’re doing. Though I did hear Amazon was making a LoTR tv show about Aragorn or something.

I just listened to The aviators by Helen Jane Long…[Read more]

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 Hello, I’m here!

@jenwriter17

I find doing sort of “mini-plots” on sticky notes and just tossing ideas around is really helpful for pushing through the uninspired bits.

If obsessively rewatching Prince Caspian and The King’s Speech counts as prep, I’m doing brilliantly 😛

@jenwriter17

Cool! I’ll check those out. How’s your NaNo prep going? Are you doing any prep?

@jenwriter17

By the way, do you have any suggestions for good instrumental soundtracks to listen to?

@jenwriter17

😀 And you reminded me, I really gotta sit down and write some posts too. I’ll do that once I’ve put the washing away so I can actually sit on my chair 😛

@jenwriter17

Hey! I’m folding the washing but I’ll join you anyway.

@jenwriter17

Hey! I’m folding the washing but I’ll join you anyway.

You know @dekreel don’t you?

To answer your question, @rochellaine, since Xonos obviously missed it, yes, we know each other on another forum. (Although I think we met each other on Kingdom Pen once or twice beforehand. . .)

@valtmy

I’m the opposite. I can’t get anything finished without planning. Though I still have days when I have no idea what’s happening next.

Well…I do believe there’s a difference between purposeful ridiculousness and lame ridiculousness, which in all likelihood is what my stories are.

@valtmy

Self-criticism has got to be the worst thing about being a writer…or being a human really.

I’m a bit of an obsessive plotter for that very reason. I tend to get lost otherwise and end up with ridiculous plots. Or lack thereof.

@valtmy

That is unfortunate 🙁

@valtmy

🙂 how’s your current WIP going?

@Rochellaine

Goodnight.
