These are all so funny!!
So… I dug up one of my own stories. This little masterpiece came about because a five-year-old was a little too crazy about cats. *rubs hand together* Guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat and not be boring at all.
Once there was a family of cats. One snowy winter night their mother invited her kittens in to…[Read more]

@ingridrd *falls in through the ceiling* *picks self up with dignity and brushes off cape*. K, so I just wanted to let you know I’m reading it, even if I’m not done yet. 😛

@alia Trying to make me feel better? haha. 😛 Oh well, if I could actually think of things to write I could write the posts pretty easily. It’s coming up with topics that’s hard. I guess I’ll learn once I get more used to it.
Okay, happy writing! I’ve got to get going and go get myself gone. 😛 It’s late. (It must be late, if I’m feeli…[Read more]

@alia Unfortunately, no. I am not having an easier time. 🙁 My novel and short stories have not progressed more than a few inches down the page over the past few days. I have great plans for them, however… 😛
By the way, how is it even possible to write two blog posts and start three more in a day?! I feel happy if I figure out how to wri…[Read more]

@alia The barn raising scene is amazing, of course! It’s really funny, especially the expressions on the brothers’ faces, but the acrobatics are so cool! For lyrical songs I actually like the more upbeat ones, because they’re funnier. 😉 Sobbin’ Women, Bless Yore Beautiful Hide, and Goin’ Courtin are probably my favorites, but I do like Wo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, apparently she likes Edelweiss, but nothing else. She says they’re boring. The reason, I believe, is that she likes songs from which she can tell the plot as they’re singing. Songs like in opera, where the people sing, “We must go and kill the king,” instead of, “isn’t it fun to always sing.” 😛
I like songs that you can si…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, she doesn’t like the Sound of Music songs. 😮 So she has a different type of musical taste than I do. 🙂 I don’t like Annie Get Your Gun because the story is so inaccurate compared to the real Annie Oakley…but I’m actually a hypocrite, since I like a different Annie Oakley movie which is also historically inaccurate. I l…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Haha. 😀
Oh, too bad. Or, too bad for the characters. Not too bad for you. 😉
My characters aren’t really doing much of anything right now, since I’ve not been doing as much writing over the past few days. I have the next part planned out and am trying to get to it, but I haven’t been working very hard. 😛
Been listening to an…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 It went pretty well. I got to talk to several people. I’ve looked up expectations for book signings online and I think I did well according to the estimates I’ve seen. I only sold three books, but apparently book signings are not about selling books but about getting your name out, and I think I did that. 😉
Still plodding sl…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Yes! I’m finally here, back from my book signing. 😀
Hello. How’s it going?

@seekjustice Okay, too bad. I guess it’ll be goodbye until Monday/Tuesday, then. 🙁
I actually don’t like that song a whole lot either. Oh well.
We found a couple. We want to have a whole lot of songs we can sing together. Right now we know a couple of duets from Sight & Sound, which are good, but they don’t sell the sheet music so we can…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha. 😉
I had to disappear for a bit to get dinner started, but I’ve got twenty minutes right now, so…hi!
Did you like Little Women, the musical? I haven’t listened to much yet, but I haven’t liked what I heard very well so far. 🙁

@seekjustice Sorry, I’m having trouble getting what you’re saying. 🙂 Do you mean that you’re on right now, but won’t be on for the rest of the day?

Rochellaine replied to the topic I Need Help with My American Character in the forum Characters 8 years, 4 months ago
@seekjustice Okay, well I’ve been thinking about it, and maybe the best thing to do would just be write him the same as you would write an Australian, and then let your beta-readers tell you if there’s anything that sounds weird.
It’s hard for us to think of specific instances of slang or whatever, and if we could, you’d have a hard time keeping…[Read more]
