@jenwriter17 I’m not going to join in this time, but do let me know when you start a different genre, will you?  It sounds like fun!

Anyone here? @jenwriter17 @valtmy @dekreel @catwing @ariel-ashira

@leumeister

Is everything you write sci-fi?  Do you like other genres at all?

Yes, it’s amazing how much they can do with computer effects in tv shows now, especially when you consider that for Star Trek: TOS the costume and set designers just went to used clothing stores and junk piles for a lot of their stuff since the budget was so small.…[Read more]

@valtmy Sorry for dropping out on you. 🙁  I’m just popping in now to let you know I am not going to be on for a while, but I’ll probably be on and off later today.

@valtmy

Slack-jawed confusion is not necessarily the reaction I am going for.

Congratulations, you have now ascended to the ranks of @seekjustice, who up to this point has been the only other person I recall who made me laugh aloud just from a forum message. 😀

@valtmy Well, it’s supposed to be a comedy, right?

😛

You know you’re a writer when you see a high quality grocery bag sitting in your house and it freaks you out…because on the outside of the bag it says “I am a reusable bag” and you wonder why the bag is talking to you and who decided to give a bag a POV anyway, and whether all bags can talk and if the bags are going to start a revolution against…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Hi!  As I said above, I’m also going to be off and on, so I might take a really long time to respond sometimes.  But hello again. 🙂

@valtmy That is the problem I’m having with my western. (which I’m not working on right now, I’m doing something for my parents’ books.) I already have beta readers, you included, and I haven’t been a…[Read more]

@valtmy Hello, hello!  I’m going to be in and out for a bit.  What are you working on?

@ariel-ashira Okay, goodbye. 🙂

@ariel-ashira Haha, I can’t mind that you left without telling me yesterday since you can see I did the very same thing to @seekjustice last night! 😛

I see you two had quite the conversation this morning. 😉  Speaking of things they used to do for burns, I don’t know about the middle ages, but I know somewhere around the 1700s-1800s they would…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’ve been listening to a YouTube video which collects thirteen versions of “If I Loved You” from Carousel and asks “who sang it best?” but doesn’t include my favorite version… 😛

Yes, it’s from the late 40s, so it’s kinda too early for you.  But, which version did you listen to?  It’s been done in a lot of different styles.  It is…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, I’ll (hopefully) be here for a while.  I’ve got a lot of work to do.

@seekjustice I’m back.  Are you here?

@seekjustice Have you ever heard of the movie 50 First Dates?  I’ve never seen it but people have told me the plot several times and I just looked it up to make sure what it was.  It looks to me like that has the type of amnesia you’re talking about.  The girl was in a car accident so she can only remember one day and then forgets it the next da…[Read more]

@seekjustice “Lost in the Stars” by German-American composer Kurt Weill.  He wrote a lot of operas and musicals in both German and English.  “Lost in the Stars” is from a rather depressing musical also titled Lost in the Stars, and since the plot was depressing I haven’t listened to any more of the songs, but that song is beautiful…and also d…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I don’t dislike them, I just like other books better.  I do remember I liked the first one when I read it, but that was probably eight or ten years ago and I can barely remember it now.

@seekjustice I’ve been listening to all the versions I can find of a song that reminds me very strongly of your Stars books and especially Justice.

@ariel-ashira Yes, you should definitely read Hans Brinker!!!  It’s such an amazing book!!

I’ve only read the first Black Stallion book, so I don’t know to what you’re referring. 🙁  If you want to clarify I’m probably not ever going to read the rest of the series so I don’t mind spoilers. 😉

My grandmother had the same problem when she had a r…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Ah, I had that problem about a month ago when I had to use a different computer from mine. 🙁  I ended up writing a little bit on a google doc and then giving up. 😛

Well, I know at least that the cliche thing that happens in half of the amnesia fiction stories where the person gets hit on the head again in the same place and it…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I like amnesia.  I’m not so fond of third degree burns. 😛  I was going to give Chara some, but I didn’t want her to get scarred, so I just gave her some painful, but not long-lasting second degree burns. 🙂  It was a selfish reason, though.  Having her be scarred would be too much trouble to write about and I wanted her to heal qui…[Read more]
