SeekJustice

@seekjustice Cora sounds Irish to me.  Is it?

Let me know if you do find any Australian lists, won’t you?  I couldn’t find any, and I’d be interested in seeing what differences there were.  I guess you’d have access to some different sites in Australia?

@seekjustice Okay, here’s a list:

• Mona
• Lillian/Lilian
• Nan (this is a nickname for Anne)
• Elsie/Elise
• Marie (This pronunciation was made fun of so much that there’s even a song about it.  😛 “Mary’s a Grand Old Name” by George M. Cohan.  It was an extremely popular name, but – at least in America – because it was the French p…

@seekjustice …Hi…I have the best timing…I’ll finish it, just time…
@rochellaine Hello!

@seekjustice Cool! 🙂

I have a couple of comments/questions:

Your book is set in Australia, right?  What social class is your character in?

In most of the books I’ve read that were written in that time period, the more “unique/fancy” names like Lilian, Ethel, and Evelyn were often made fun of by the people who preferred more “sensible” names…[Read more]

Yo, peeps! I’m writing. Ish. . .

SeekJustice — That writer’s block meme is hilarious.

@seekjustice yeah it took me a really long time to get used to a Mac (I had a Dell laptop with Windows before). My older brother (who’s into computers and all that) really dislikes Apple products and jokes around with me about how I ‘strayed from the path.’ 😉 We’ve had conversations like this:

Me: *is typing away happily on Mac*

My brother:…[Read more]

@seekjustice I used to use Word too, but on my MacBook it’s acts kinda funny. So I switched to Google docs, but I think I’m gonna like writing in Scrivener. 🙂 I really like that I can keep my research bits and everything in one place and handy as I write

@seekjustice Cool. 🙂

I’m also trying to figure out Scrivener, which I got about a week ago. It’s taking me a bit to figure it out (with the help of a tutorial), but so far it’s super duper cool! 😀

Thank you for the nanowrimo advice, by the way. I didn’t get the chance last night to thank ya 😉

@seekjustice Okay. 🙂 watcha working on?

@rochellaine @seekjustice @ariel-ashira @alia @dragon-snapper @valtmy @catwing

What?…I can be on two day in a row?! O.O

Heloooo! I am working on more outlining/writing letters/getting distracted. Anyone wanna join me? (but maybe not in that last one 😉 )

@seekjustice Yes, in America voting is not required.  Our voting laws are really weird and confusing, actually.

Ah, I see.

😛

@ariel-ashira Haha. 😛

I’m actually really sleepy.  Had a long day.  So I’m going to depart now.  Talk to you all soon, hopefully!

@jenwriter17 Goodbye! 🙁

@seekjustice I don’t believe so.  What exactly are they about?  When we’re eighteen in America we sign up to vote, and the guys have to sign up for the draft.  But you can sign up to vote when you get your driver’s license too, so I signed up when I was sixteen instead of when I turned eighteen.  And since I was born in…[Read more]

@rochellaine Oh, I see. Word wars are so much fun, I’m looking forward to them too. 🙂

@seekjustice How many years have you done NaNo? Any tips for a first-timer? 😉

@ariel-ashira Hello there. 🙂 how are ya?

I have to leave now, all. See you this weekend maybe. (sorry I had to leave as soon as you came, Ariel 🙁 )

@seekjustice The biggest thing I noticed when I turned eighteen was that my parents could no longer sign me up for things.  I had to sign for myself.  And I had to carry my ID everywhere or I couldn’t get in places, since I could no longer be called a child and enter with my parents. 😉

What sort of forms are you filling out?

Haha, I’ve heard t…[Read more]

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 *slips in*  *tiny mouse voice* I’m here too.

@seekjustice I know what you mean 😉

@rochellaine Oh are you doing NaNo this year? 🙂

@seekjustice Oh my yes, when I turned 18 a lot of things started happening (I had to fill out a lot of stuff too ;).

@jenwriter17 😀 😀 How’s it going?

@seekjustice Pretty good, generally, but with my writing…not so great.  Why can’t NaNoWriMo come sooner??  I need word wars!! 😛

How are you doing?

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 Hallooo!

@seekjustice Haha, that’s perfect! 😀
