I would hate to see her become worse. :l

@valtmy

Yes, I would think so.

However, they both (hopefully) will improve.

Are you planning on improving Myeongwol??

@valtmy

I’m having a little trouble finding where I’m up to. I definitely remember the introduction to “Young Lady Kang”…

Well, I’ve found a bit I don’t remember, so I’m just going to read from there.

Oh, and I’ve just realised that the queen from my story is turning out a lot like Myeongwol and I’m not sure how I feel about that.

@valtmy

By the way, how’s that other WIP of yours going? That one with the strange, captivating crown prince in it? I don’t believe I’ve read any of that one.

@valtmy

Would you mind sending me another link? I think that was the reason I stopped reading in the first place–because it got lost somewhere in my piles and piles of Google docs.

@valtmy

It did indeed.

Ah, yes, I’ve not finished it. I can if you would like me too 😀

@catwing Ah, I see. Fair enough, I would probably do something similar.

@valtmy I am concerned about what Myeongwol is up to though.

@catwing

Though definitely intriguing. Why did poor Cele see gongs and get confused?

@valtmy

Well, you certainly know how to disturb people.

@rochellaine

Goodnight

@catwing

And yours is just a tad confusing 😛

@catwing @valtmy @rochellaine

I just finished my fifteen minutes. I got 415.

My last sentence (hence my interest in colts):

Several foals, all varying shades of brown, three black mares and a yearling colt, who looked big enough to be kicked out of the mob any day now.

@rochellaine Well, I don’t know if you like fantasy, but her historical fantasy Fawkes is really good. 🙂

@catwing @valtmy @seekjustice

Alright, I have to leave now. Enjoy word warring! 🙂

@rochellaine

Well, I’ve just noticed a lot of use of the word colt. Just then I saw “rounding up mustang mares and colts”, etc. So I was wondering if it had a different meaning.

“Some guns are called colts” was also my immediate thought.

All right, I’m putting on my timer again @Catwing

@valtmy Heyo! 😀

@catwing @seekjustice @rochellaine Do you all know that Nadine Brandes is having a giveaway for a signed copy of Fawkes and some other Fawkes-related goodies? 🙂 You can find the link to enter through her latest Youtube video.

@rochellaine @seekjustice @catwing

I think I’ll sit out of the wars for the rest of the night. Been pushing myself to crank out the words these past several hours, and I’m feeling not so inspired and motivated now, so I’m gonna leave soon I think. I’ll be on to chat for a bit though. 🙂

@seekjustice I think all those terms are a little confusing for some people (including me, tbh 😛 ), and I don’t think all horse books get it right anyway, so maybe that’s why Americans don’t use the terms that often. 🙂

@jenwriter17

Righto. The things I was reading seemed to indicate it meant more generally a horse that hadn’t reached mature age. Here it very specifically means a horse between 1-4. Younger than 1 is a foal, and a female is a filly. I’ve never really seen any Americans use those terms though, which was why I was a little confused.

@catwing I think I like the idea of choosing our favorite sentences better 😉

@seekjustice

We use the word colt for a male horse that hasn’t reached adult age yet.

@rochellaine @catwing @jenwriter17

And I’m pretty sure I have no interesting sentences, but this one…

This brumby was one of a highly sought after colouring–not quite pure white, but not cream or golden either.

…is a reference to one of my favourite childhood books, The Silver Brumby.

@catwing @rochellaine @seekjustice

oh yeah, my sentence…

I didn’t know if we were doing our favorite sentence or the last sentence we wrote, so i’m just putting here the last sentence I wrote: Vega twisted one of her box braids around her finger. 

I know, gripping isn’t it? 😛

@catwing I like your sentence 🙂
