@catwing I can’t come on right now, but I’ll be here Monday. 🙂

#1

Yes, I’d thought about some of those consequences but I hadn’t actually thought about Sapphire’s mother. I really should do something with her…she kind of only existed to explain why Sapphire and Chessy had no mother. And I’ve been thinking about the details of the ID system, but that’s a conversation for another time.

#2 That’s true. I…[Read more]

@valtmy

For some reason I never got notified that you’d replied 😀

I know, I’m so easily distracted! (and yes, I’m waiting eagerly for the next part!)

most of them, a few pulled out, but I have several thousand (getting close to 15-20k) words  worth of feedback, so I have enough to go on.

I was considering talking to @rochellaine about it…[Read more]

@valtmy

I’ll be around for a bit 😀 I’m supposed to be drafting, but instead I’m pondering problems in Stars Fill Infinity.

@rochellaine

I might pass on this one. I’m currently just cleaning up a little.

@valtmy

Scrivener doesn’t have Australian spelling (Word does though) so I have to use Canadian spelling, but it doesn’t recognise all those unique Aussie words 😛

@catwing I added most of my character names to the dictionary on my computer, but new ones still come up with red lines, particularly Yilla for whatever reason.

@rochellaine

Maybe the Word processor is the reason we have intoxicated water and disembowelled voices?

@catwing

Well done! It appears I am not so distracted now that I don’t have to deal with little brothers and sausages.

@rochellaine

I typed it into my own Word processor and it wants to change it to “Tripled”. as if that makes any sense whatsoever?

Want to word war again, guys?

@rochellaine

Thank you.

I think it does the blue line to indicate that you’ve used the wrong word, from memory?

@rochellaine @valtmy

Good job 😀

@rochellaine @catwing

I got 570. How’d you do?

@valtmy

I don’t know! I’ll go broke at this rate.

@catwing Cool. I’ll put my timer on now .

@rochellaine you can put your timer on when you’re ready.

@catwing

Awesome! Ten or fifteen minutes? @rochellaine

@valtmy Are you still doing lectures today? or do you get the day off?

@rochellaine

Certainly!

Anyone else want to join for a word war?

@valtmy

I know. I’m destroying my reputation! However, there is another character that must die for plot reasons. And the king’s royal advisor is just about to have his four brothers executed (his brothers, not the king’s).

@catwing 😛 Good to hear.

@valtmy @rochellaine

I’m sorry for being a bad influence on you both 😛

@rochellaine

(drat it! it’s stuck in my head now!)

I may or may not kill her later, it just depends on how attached I get to her.

ah, don’t worry about me too much. I’m still torturing my characters.

Knowing what I do about those Biblical times, which isn’t a lot, I can imagine they’d be going through some terrible things.

@rochellaine

(ohhoho, what a comforting thing to know!)

No…they were just supposed to die of an illness and they didn’t. that’s all.

@rochellaine

I’ve been meaning to tell you–I’ve gone soft and didn’t kill a character!

@catwing

Hello! You seem to have been infected with the late night bug. I remember when I first met you, you used to go to bed very early 😛

@valtmy

Hello!
