Yes, I am still sick but I feel I’ve been miserable for long enough and must drag myself from my sickbed and start writing.

By the way, I started my NaNo novel a few days early and was writing it in Scrivener and I love it! I’m finding it quite easy to use for first drafting, easier than I expected.

@valtmy

They assure me they’re coming back…

Eventually, anyway.

see above 😉

@rochellaine @jenwriter17

What?? You’ve all abandoned me?

@seekjustice aw, sorry to leave you alone, but I’ll be back soon. 😉 The night is still young! 😀

@jenwriter17 278 words.

I’ve got to go for a short bit.  See you in a while if you’re still here.

@rochellaine

ah, I only got 193 words. 🙁 how about you?

@seekjustice

I have to go take care of something for a while, so you two can war until I get back 😉

@jenwriter17

All right, I’m back. I’ll wait this war out and join when you finish 🙂

@rochellaine Sure…starting now… 🙂

@jenwriter17 Sorry, got distracted when I noticed a new Star Trek series had been announced… 😛 So I’ve been texting my brother about that.

How about a ten minute word war?

@seekjustice Sure, sounds good 🙂

@rochellaine @jenwriter17

I’m going to shower and then I’m coming back to try and force a few words out of my poor sick brain, so maybe when you’ve finished this war I could join you for a second?

@rochellaine Awesome! How long?

@jenwriter17 😛

I can word war with you now if you want.

@seekjustice Oh, cool!  There’s a classic I’ve read that you haven’t read! 😛  I thought the only classics I’d read that you hadn’t were the Mark Twain books.  Usually if it’s a classic, you’ve read it and I haven’t. 😉

Yup that’s it.  I think I understood most of the poem, but you pro…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Actually,  I’ve never read Tarzan or seen the movie, so I’ve got no idea.

I read the poem and realised that I have read it before 😉 I’d just forgotten it. It was quite amusing.

Was the parody you mentioned “You are Young, Kaiser Wilhelm”? If so, I just found that in my wanderings and it was also quite amusing 😛

@rochellaine yeah but I like made-up words 😛

@jenwriter17 I think “adulting” is one of the strangest things our generation has come up with. 😛

@seekjustice I saw the Disney Jungle Book movie when I was little, which I know very well is completely different from the book.  Unfortunately I’ve not read the book yet.  I was about to once, but I forgot or something…maybe I got caught up in a…[Read more]

I loved Rikki Tikki Tavi too, mostly because I wish I had a mongoose to keep the snakes away from my house.

I think I’ve read some of his war poems, but that’s about it. Mostly I just really loved The Jungle Book stories. I read the Just So stories too.

All right, I’ll go look it up 🙂

@rochellaine

Ah, I see. 🙂

Yup! 😀 #adulting

@seekjustice I haven’t read much of Rudyard Kipling.  But I absolutely loved Rikki Tikki Tavi.  I actually found him to be quite adorable…which I have a feeling wasn’t the specific purpose of his story… 😛  I’ve read a couple of Kipling’s shorter poems too, such as If. (that is by him, right?) What’s your favorite of his works?

But I don’t th…[Read more]
