Yeah, they’ve got special laws in place now, because shops were selling things super cheaply (think 90% off sorta things) and people were actually getting crushed and killed.

That’s just…bad.

Nope, this is an attempt at writing a historical/fantasy sort of thing.

I am planning a contemporary short story/novella though, for a competition.

@rochellaine

Maybe we’re just less excited about sales? We tend to have sales at Valentines, Australia Day, Easter, Christmas and Boxing Day (otherwise known as the sale in which people literally die).

Though I’ve heard about Black Friday and that doesn’t sound like a walk in the park either.

I gave up on that. Instead I’m working on rewriting…[Read more]

@rochellaine

We have Labour Day here, but it’s not till October, and people only like it because it’s a long weekend 😛 We certainly don’t have special sales, as it seems you do in American.

Yes I did have a really good time! No, we haven’t really talked since then 😀

@rochellaine How’s things?

@rochellaine

Are you here still?

@devastate-lasting Oh I am so sorry to hear that! My grandmother passed away from the same thing years ago; it’s hard. I’ll be praying for you and all those effected.

@arel-ashira @valtmy I’ll be praying for both of you as well!

@rochellaine @alia @ariel-ashira @valtmy Anyone around?

@dekreel To follow up on that…

You know your a writer when you’ve been in your room experimenting with accents, and when you come out your family wonders what the deal is because you’re talking in like ten different accents at once.

@ariel-ashira

I thought so. I just remember someone posting here that their sister had a concussion. I’ll keep praying.

@devastate-lasting Oh, I am so sorry!  I will pray for the people that this has effected.

@seekjustice Man, that is hard.  We’ve had to put animals down before, and its awful.

I don’t know if its my sister you are thinking of, but this sister has had two concussions before.  She’s okay, but being very careful right now.  Thank you for praying!

@ariel-ashira I seem to recall someone else’s sister getting a concussion and I thought maybe it was yours as well? Either that or @alia ‘s. I’ll pray 🙂 Concussions are horrible things 🙁

@valtmy I’ll definitely be praying. I understand the stress of life and how debilitating it can be.

@devastate-landing I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll be…[Read more]

@valtmy @rochellaine @alia @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @dekreel @catwing

Would you guys please pray for my sister?  Last night she had a concussion when she banged her head into the side of a door in the dark. She’s blacked out for a little bit, and is having vision and balance problems.  We’d really appreciate your prayers right now.

@alia I love this topic!  You guys totally nailed it!

The only thing I can think of is that the villain must always be cruel to animals and the hero must always have a kind word for his horse even if he is bleeding and dying.

Also, whatever the villain drives or rides must be black, to reflect his evil personality.

@rochellaine

Aw, you’re probably not here anymore. I started a map for my new novel and got really caught up in it.

@valtmy Bye!

@rochellaine are you around today? I’ve had a very weird Sunday and I’m not in routine, but if you’re here, I’d love to chat about randomness.

@seekjustice @ariel-ashira

All right. I’m leaving now. Bye! 🙂

@valtmy I’ve only been to Melbourne the once, and I mostly spent my time in Carlton, but it was really cool. I’d love to go back again and spend more time there.

There’s a lot of cool things in Canberra. Especially if you’re interested in museums. The National museum is there, the National Archives, the War Memorial (one of my favourite…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Ah. My travels to Australia have been limited to Melbourne and Tasmania so far. Would you recommend Canberra as a tourist destination? 😛

@valtmy

Ah no, it isn’t. But we also live half an hour out of town. All those things together mean we have to get up pretty early. Still, I think it’s a pretty good time, and we usually get there at the time we’re meant to, which is more than I can say for most of the other things I do 😛

I live near Canberra, about an hour away. So it’s a fair…[Read more]

@valtmy *laughs* Sorry I was not clear.  Its seven forty PM.
