@valtmy Okay, well, I thought you might be interested in it.  I don’t know what kind of music you like, and you might hate it because of that, (it’s an operetta) but the story is really funny.  It’s set in old Japan, and the premise is that flirting has been made a capital crime, and anyone who flirts must be beheaded.  Fortunately, in one sm…[Read more]

@valtmy Hey, same here! 🙂  I think I asked you a bit ago if you’d heard of The Mikado.  You haven’t, right?

@seekjustice I’m doing okay, but am exhausted right now. 😉  I wanted to pop in and say hi, though, since it feels like a while since I talked to you people.

How are you?

@seekjustice

Haha. I am a sadistic writer in my own way. I’m all for anything that can kill the delusional power fantasy that is rampant in adventure/fantasy stories. I mean, how many stories have you read that have badass mages and warriors catching the sniffles (not dealing with romanticised injuries they got in some glorious battle)?

Ooh you…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Good?! Given how much you torture your characters, I would have thought that you would have liked it if I made it a gloriously depressing storyline. 😛

By the way, I read your blog post about your story for Nanowrimo! The wattle blossoms remind me of the canola flower fields in Jeju in Korea. 😀

@valtmy @seekjustice Hello, I’m here! 😀

I remember the two big epidemic scares that happened over the past few years.  And I remember people talking about what you’re saying – that the world’s so interconnected it’s really hard to contain viruses now.

So…other than discussing the dangers of deadly diseases and their impact on your…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Oh, yes. The people I’ve talked to who are in the medical community are all very concerned about the possibility of a global flu outbreak especially given how interconnected the world is now. Great reminder of how we are only living by God’s grace, right?

Haha that storyline is actually only one of the plot threads in the story. The…[Read more]

And to think I thought I was cruel when it comes to killing my characters. 😛

From what I read about the Spanish flu, an unusual thing about it is that a young and healthy person is more likely to die from it if they get infected (something to do with the overreaction of the immune system). So I found it to be very fitting for my…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Hi! Haha are you sure you won’t use it to torture your characters someday?

One of my story ideas involve unleashing a magical equivalent of the Spanish flu in an empire so you may never know. 😛

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @dekreel

Is there anyone around?

@seekjustice Congratulations!  I’m sorry I was unable to let you know yesterday, but I was praying for you.  I didn’t have my computer with me all day and couldn’t tell you so. (Got the email notification on my phone.)  Anyway, I’m really glad you passed! 😀 😀

@seekjustice Yay, congratulations! 😀

@seekjustice Oh, I’ll be praying! Let us know how it goes 😉

@seekjustice Praying for you. 🙂

@rochellaine @kaya-young @dekreel @seekjustice @valtmy @ariel-ashira @alia @dragon-snapper Anyone on? I’m working on outlining and blog posts. 🙂

HELLLOOOOOOOO!?!

@seekjustice  @rochellaine  @jenwriter17  @valtmy  @xonos-darkgrate  @alia  @catwing  @perfectfifths (I’ve seen you around. . .)  @anyone-really

@seekjustice That’s actually pretty cool. 🙂

Yeah, that’s basically how it is in America too.

The House of the Seven Gables.  Let’s see…okay, I’ve been trying to figure out how to explain the plot, and can’t, so I’ll just give you a link to the Wikipedia page and you can read it when you get the chance. 😉

Okay, I’ve answered a few of the…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😀

Apparently Benjamin Franklin thought the eagle would be a bad national bird because it attacks little birds and steals their food.  He proposed the turkey, but I think that would be rather silly.

Forgive us. 😛 Americans are mocked everywhere, and by our own selves, for knowing little.  There’s a joke I’ve heard which goes, “What…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yup, that’s the one.  The space shuttle is really cool too.  Here are a few pictures I took last time we went (sorry I’m not a great photographer 😉 ):

Haha.  Bald eagles are cool, but even if you think they’re funny, just consider the fact that our national bird might have been the turkey.  I think the bald eagle is much bet…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, it’s called the Air and Space Museum.  That one is really cool!!  I’ve been there several times.  I think you’d like it a lot.

Oh yes, now I remember.  I’ve heard them called pouches.

Haha. 😛  Are there any American animals that Australians think are cool? 😉

I’m liking The Secret Garden so far. 😀 What’s your favorite song from it?

@seekjustice There are several Smithsonians.  Is there one you’re particularly interested in visiting, or do you just want to go to all of them because they’re cool, free museums? 😉  I don’t think I’ve been to all of them.

Okay, I’m trying to find the Secret Garden soundtrack, then I’ll get to your questionnaire.

Hm, that’s interesting. 😛  Wh…[Read more]
