@catwing Ah, I see. Fair enough, I would probably do something similar.

@valtmy I am concerned about what Myeongwol is up to though.

@catwing

Though definitely intriguing. Why did poor Cele see gongs and get confused?

@valtmy

Well, you certainly know how to disturb people.

@rochellaine

Goodnight

@catwing

And yours is just a tad confusing 😛

Oh, and @valtmy I can’t wait to read your book once it’s completed! 😉

@seekjustice @catwing @valtmy This was so much fun!  And very useful. 😀 😀

I’m going to depart now.

Goodnight everyone!   Happy writing!

@catwing @seekjustice @valtmy 342 words.

My chosen sentence:

The ache in her stomach intensified, and she pressed a hand against it as though it would calm at the touch.

The last sentence I wrote:

I shall go tonight.

@catwing @valtmy @rochellaine

I just finished my fifteen minutes. I got 415.

My last sentence (hence my interest in colts):

Several foals, all varying shades of brown, three black mares and a yearling colt, who looked big enough to be kicked out of the mob any day now.

@rochellaine Well, I don’t know if you like fantasy, but her historical fantasy Fawkes is really good. 🙂

@catwing @valtmy @seekjustice

Alright, I have to leave now. Enjoy word warring! 🙂

@rochellaine

Well, I’ve just noticed a lot of use of the word colt. Just then I saw “rounding up mustang mares and colts”, etc. So I was wondering if it had a different meaning.

“Some guns are called colts” was also my immediate thought.

All right, I’m putting on my timer again @Catwing

@catwing I’ll start now, then. 🙂

@jenwriter17 I’ve heard many things about Nadine Brandes, but I have never read any of her stuff. 😛

@valtmy Glad you’re here!  See you at the end of the word war!

@valtmy Heyo! 😀

@catwing @seekjustice @rochellaine Do you all know that Nadine Brandes is having a giveaway for a signed copy of Fawkes and some other Fawkes-related goodies? 🙂 You can find the link to enter through her latest Youtube video.

@rochellaine @seekjustice @catwing

I think I’ll sit out of the wars for the rest of the night. Been pushing myself to crank out the words these past several hours, and I’m feeling not so inspired and motivated now, so I’m gonna leave soon I think. I’ll be on to chat for a bit though. 🙂

@seekjustice Do you mean in horse books that you haven’t seen Americans using those words to describe horses?  Or just in general that Americans don’t describe horses correctly?

Because somewhat depending on the part of the country they’re from, or how they were raised, a lot of Americans don’t know anything about horses.  Or any animals.  I me…[Read more]

@seekjustice I think all those terms are a little confusing for some people (including me, tbh 😛 ), and I don’t think all horse books get it right anyway, so maybe that’s why Americans don’t use the terms that often. 🙂

@catwing

But some people are named Colt.

😛 And my first thought was “Some guns are called Colt”

If we’re doing last sentences, then mine was pretty boring too.  It was

And then Yishay had been there to meet her.

😀

@jenwriter17

Righto. The things I was reading seemed to indicate it meant more generally a horse that hadn’t reached mature age. Here it very specifically means a horse between 1-4. Younger than 1 is a foal, and a female is a filly. I’ve never really seen any Americans use those terms though, which was why I was a little confused.

@catwing Okay, my sentences were all pretty short in the last section I wrote, so I’m going to give two that go together:

“We have not killed your brother, girl.  We speak the truth.”

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice Shall we have another word war?

@valtmy Are you home yet?

@catwing I think I like the idea of choosing our favorite sentences better 😉

@seekjustice

We use the word colt for a male horse that hasn’t reached adult age yet.

@rochellaine @catwing @jenwriter17

And I’m pretty sure I have no interesting sentences, but this one…

This brumby was one of a highly sought after colouring–not quite pure white, but not cream or golden either.

…is a reference to one of my favourite childhood books, The Silver Brumby.
