Haha I have many more if you are interested:

This iced tea made with Jeju’s pure green tea leaves provides a feeling of peace and comfort with the scent of plant that can be felt when lying at the center of Jeju’s green tea fields and looking up the sunlit sky.

This iced tea delivers refreshing excitement and relieves daily stress…[Read more]

I just read the descriptions to my brother, who is a bit of a tea connoisseur, and he enjoyed them too 😀 Truly, Australian tea is boring.

I have no idea what that last one is even trying to say. Whoever wrote that certainly has no qualms about using adverbs.

Also, I’m just imagining you sitting there, surrounded by boxes of tea, typing…[Read more]

@seekjustice

You have no idea how hard I just laughed at that. 😛

The descriptions on my British teas are not as boring but I don’t think they can beat the “blissful flutter” and “thrill of a first kiss” of the Korean teas. 😛

A real jubilee of a British black tea, crowned with classic flavours of vanilla.

An intensely aromatic tea infused…[Read more]

@valtmy

Australians obviously have much less interesting tea descriptions:

Our tea artisans masterfully select and craft Madura teas to achieve consistency, cup after cup, resulting in a superior taste, time after time. 

How boring is that?

But seriously, if you just rewrote that first description a little, it sounds like a really bad romance…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I have another one though the description is not as interesting (and I edited the grammar a little for this and the previous one because that’s what writers do):

One spring day on the village road of Olleh-gil, the cherry blossoms burst with the pink colour thrill of a first kiss. This tea delivers a lovely aroma with a blend of the…[Read more]

@valtmy

I’ve never come across green tea that smells like grapes. However it does sound interesting (and it sounds like it could be a heroine in a romance novel too, from that description).

@seekjustice

Haha it just smells really good. Like grapes although I have no idea how because there are no grapes in it.

I have no idea who was paid to write the product description on the packaging but it sounds like something from a book of purple prose: 😛

The fragrances of starlit marigolds, lovely pink roses, and lucky cornflowers are…[Read more]

@valtmy

Hehe, no 😀

Ooh, I like green tea very much. What makes this green tea particularly special?

@seekjustice

So I’m not the only one multitasking on this forum. 😛

I’m finally back home and brewing a cup of my special green tea and ready to start writing… 😛 Hopefully I’ll be productive today instead of just staring at a blank screen again…

@valtmy

Well, you know the Christmas child shoeboxes? I’m packing some of those today but I have to start by putting them together, as they came to me flatpacked.

@seekjustice

???

@valtmy

Precisely.

I’m currently wrestling Samaritan’s Purse shoeboxes into shape.

@seekjustice

Of course. Talking about fictional characters is why we join forums like this right? 😛

I plan to do some writing before service once I reach home. Are you working on anything now?

@valtmy

Hello again! Yeah, sometimes they just happen 😛

@rochellaine @seekjustice

Hey I’m done with my prayer walk. 😀

Ah, SFI/WIIE character discussions again. 😛

@rochellaine

Oh. Well. At least I have a reputation. I usually say “my friend Anisa” and they go “which one is that?” “the one from Maryland…you know, Uncle Bill.”

No, she feels quite sorry for him. After all, we concluded that Kendall had it worse than Zac, because Zac only gets blamed for the things he has done, which is a quite a lot,…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Okay then 🙂

What did your sister think of Kendall? Coincidentally, I was also explaining to my sister how everything was Kendall’s fault.

@rochellaine @seekjustice

I’ll be going off for a prayer walk now! Talk to you guys later! (If you are still around) 😛

@seekjustice

I tend to divide my files by chapters when I write and I use plain text files to write so that is not really an issue… But how is Scrivener for first draft writing?

@Rochellaine It is. Anyhow, I wish to speak of happier things 😀

But everything is Kendall’s fault 😛

@jenwriter17

Have fun on your trip 🙂

@valtmy

I enjoy using Scrivener a lot. I still use Word for writing first drafts, but I found Scrivener really useful when I did the last round of edits on SFI. I haven’t fully got the hang of it yet, but…[Read more]
