@catwing By eight words! 😛 Congratulations.

@bluejay Cool, what’s the business?

@bluejay

I LOVE KEANNA! Gavinaugh’s books are my favorite from that series. The Wars of the Realm series is good but I was a little bit disappointed in the last book. It didn’t seem to flow as well. Have you read the Knights of Arrethrae series?

Perhaps we should find a carpenter and force…I mean ask for some new ones. 🙂

@catwing I got 241 words.  How about you?

@bluejay

WHY DID NO ONE TAG ME THAT YOU’RE BACK?????

You probably don’t remember me because I only started being active on the forums about two months before you left us without a doctor (by the way, there was a lot of dragon fire after you left and no one to heal us), but welcome back!

@bluejay Ah, that makes me feel better for Australians.  I’m glad you have the alphabet game. 😉  That’s funny though, that you find X to be a hard letter.  We can easily find it on all the “Exit” signs along the highways.  X is one of the absolute easiest letters to find.  I’ve never heard of “quote” signs.  @seekjustice do you have any idea…[Read more]

@bluejay

is this BlueJay as in the resident doctor???

@rochellaine Yes, Thanksgiving! Do you have special traditions for this holiday? That’s great that you’ll get to see your brother. 🙂

Yes, they are. I’m just the second oldest, and my brother (23) is doing college online so he’s home.

@bluejay I love Chuck Black books too! 😀 Do you have a favorite one?

I don’t have Instagram, but I hope to at some point, so I’ll check that out as soon as I do. 😉

@seekjustice Ah yes, Bottle-o was mentioned in the video as well.

The alphabet game is a game played in the car where you basically look at road signs, license plates, or anything you can see to find each letter of the alphabet in order.  I believe it’s one of the most common car games in America.  Since “q” is one of the least used letters, w…[Read more]

@catwing

Aw, well I’m glad Shadow is getting used to the idea of the kitten being around. 🙂

@rochellaine Hi! I feel like we haven’t been able to talk much lately. How are you?

@rochellaine

Bottle shops is the technical word, they are actually referred to as the “bottle-o” though.

I may need some clarification on the alphabet game.

😀 My brother and I were just discussing the difference between Aussie patriotism and US patriotism.

@catwing I’d love to word war.  (It might help us both with our procrastination. 😉 )

@jenwriter17 Hi!  How’s it going?

@bluejay Hello, there. I must have joined KP after you’d left, because I don’t think we’ve met. 🙂

Well, my name is Jenwriter17 (as you’ve probably already seen). What are your favorite books/authors? Hobbies? Writing genres?

Yes, as @dekreel stated, there’s only a few of us left here on KP. But those of us remaining have pledged our loyalty to…[Read more]

@catwing I think I can be on for a bit, but I’m catching up on figuring out my blog post schedule.

Working on your nano novel, I presume? 😉

Oh, how are all your animals?

@seekjustice I’ve been watching a YouTube video on the differences between American, British, and Australian English.  😀

The difference that really stuck out to me was that the Australian person in the video said you don’t have “Liquor stores” you have “bottle shops.”  Is that true?  And if so, how do you play the alphabet gam…[Read more]

@valtmy

I just looked up the genre conventions of dystopian fiction and my novel includes all of them, though they are pretty severely underdeveloped 😀

@valtmy

But, technically speaking, its hardly a contemporary… 😛

@valtmy

I know, I seem to have worked myself into a tight genre spot. I can’t really think what I could market it as though. It doesn’t really fit anyway.

Oh well, I’ll see how it turns out after the third draft.

@valtmy

I know. But I’m so easily distracted! And yes, I know you want to read Wattle Fire 😀

oh, and I liked what you said about the worldbuilding. That actually makes a lot of sense, because I’m not entirely sure why I find the worldbuilding for SFI so difficult, since I’ve found the worldbuilding for Wattle Fire, which has a lot more intense…[Read more]

@valtmy @rochellaine

Maybe I just like letters? I write a lot in real life.

I’ll have to think over all the stuff you’ve said, but I did just want to point out that he does move from the Capital to his current house. He grew up in the Capital and that’s where his business was. He moved to his cool garden after the financial crisis.
