@ariel-ashira I’m a first aid officer, so I’ve researched a lot of different injuries. I do know quite a bit about third degree burns and ouch, in medieval times??? That would be nasty. I don’t know what they did for burns in the Middles ages though. I’m curious to know now 😀

Its 9:45pm. I’m not usually on at this time (because I have a no te…[Read more]

@seekjustice I agree it is more common but way underused.  I don’t yet know which kind I will give my characters, though.  Have you researched burns?  I was yesterday.  My character suffers from some level three burns, and I was finding out what they did in the Middle Ages for burns.

What time is it there?

@ariel-ashira

Yeah, its incredibly interesting and also very much underused. I actually feel (I’m no expert) that the other type of amnesia doesn’t happen very much, whereas the not remembering things correctly afterward happens quite a lot. You can see it in dementia as well, people with dementia remembering their childhoods really well, but…[Read more]

@northerner @kate-flournoy I love SE!  A lot!  It has pretty much the same mission as KP.  I go over there all the time to haunt the forum and read the new articles which have been amazing.  Still, it saddens me that KP is not what is used to be and so many people have left.  My best friends though ( @alia @seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 esp…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yeah, I was researching the kind of amnesia where you can’t remember anything after the accident.  It appears to be more common than the kind where you forget everything before the injury.  I had not heard of it before though because it seems like movies and books use the other kind more.  I had also seen a movie recently where th…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Oh yeah, I’ve seen those sorts of videos. They can be quite fun!

I don’t know what version it was, it was part of a soundtrack though, rather than just a cover by someone.

I guess it does leave it hanging, he doesn’t receive any sort of guidance or change his mind in anyway.

I don’t know if Justice is a singing sort of person, but…[Read more]

@rochellaine

What are you up to? Listening to anything good?

I like the lyrics of that song, by the way, though the style isn’t really my thing. Its a kind of sad song, isn’t it? I like the focus on stars and God though, which is probably why it reminded you of my book 😉

@notherner well, there are some of us that are staying here ’til we’re old and grey 😛 But, if you’re worried about being able to still grow as a writer here, I’d say these writers here will still give their advice and input. I still grow even though SE is launched. Yes, Daeus and Josiah and the staff-pros-people are at SE, so you’ll probably get…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yep, still editing. Though I’ll probably disappear for lunch.

@rochellaine @ariel-ashira

Anyone around still? I’m here to do some editing!

@rochellaine

Oh actually my mum told me about that movie once, but she couldn’t remember what it was called. She thought I’d like it, but I haven’t seen it.

@rochellaine

Okay, I’ll look it up 🙂 Its got an interesting title!

@rochellaine

Psychological amnesia is so much fun! I think that the Anastasia movie uses a physical injury–Anya falls off the train and hits her head. But the musical, I believe, uses a more psychological approach. She repressed her memories and tried to forget them.

A type of amnesia that’s quite common, but never mentioned in any books/movies…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira i loved the Black Stallion years ago. My favourite horse book will always be War Horse though.

@rochellaine

Ooh, ooh what song is it??

@rochellaine  Do you not like the Black Stallion books?

@northerner @kate-flournoy

Personally, I decided to hang around here because I don’t have enough time for two forums (though I do have an account on SE) and because the people who I’ve become especially close to are still here (*cough* @alia @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira ). I’m sad that everyone else has gone, but I felt I had to choose…[Read more]

@rochellaine Yeah, movies tend to use the rarest cures possible. 🙂  I have not read Hans Brinker.  Now that you mentioned it, I will have to read it. 😀 My favorite amnesia story is The Black Stallion Revolts.  And the way Alec gets his memory back is terrific!  Its one of my favorite stories.

I had the tiniest bit of amnesia when I had my thi…[Read more]

@rochellaine I am coming along well, I guess.  I am still in the researching, outlining part of several stories and I am not actually writing them yet.  Part of why I cannot write them yet is because this crazy laptop we have to use right now doesn’t even have Word Documents!

How much do you know about amnesia?  (It is a lot of fun.  Shh…[Read more]

@rochellaine I am researching amnesia and level three burns.  Sometimes when I think about what I have to do to my characters, I wonder how much I really want to be a writer.
