Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet, @StephanieJ! Wow, so you actually live in Ireland? I do believe you’re the first Irisher we’ve ever had here. 😀 We have Aussies and a few Brits I think and some assorted Canadians possibly but no one from Ireland. *grins* Cool. I like Ireland.
What do you like to write? What’s your favorite kind…[Read more]

@Leumeister dah— I’m swamped too. 🙁 I wish I could because beta-reading is one of my favorite things ever, but I have… ehh… —none of your business how many, just too many— XD projects right now. Definitely do find an accountability partner though. The Writers Corner topic is also a great way to stay accountable.

@kina-lamb *bows* Thank you!

@kina-lamb *bows* Thank you!
@hope I like it, though I do think that the W is a little bold for the L. So bold, actually, that I didn’t see the L as an L but as a decorative swirl…. Also, the I and the T are a little distracting; I think it would be fine just as a W and an L. -

@seekjustice Ha! That is great! I think I love not having too much homework. 😀

Hope Ann replied to the topic Aquila in the forum Sci-Fi 9 years, 1 month ago
@leumeister There’s not really one right way to do it. It depends on what platforms you use. I use Google hangouts and we message each other our goals for the day in the morning and then check in at night (normally). But you could do the same thing with Facebook Messenger, or private messages in the YWW or email. Groups can help keep people…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yep! It’s basically six different retellings of the classic story that are trying to make the story more plausible/realistic. Very entertaining.

@Leumeister I’m busy, I’m afraid. 🙁 I wish I could, but… time. And life. One tip about motivation though – you could find an accountability partner. Each morning email or message the word count or writing time for the day then hold each other to it. I’ve been doing that with a friend recently and it helps immensely. When I sit down and don’t…[Read more]

@countryjournalist2002, See what I mean? Weirdos…through and through. But lovely weirdos, ’cause, they provide ice-cream.
Don’t worry, you’ll catch on. Ice-cream, raspberries, chocolate and glitter are a bit of a thing… 🙂

@dragon-snapper Hey there!
I haven’t been around for a while, but I was just reading ‘The Legends of King Daeus’
and it’s sequel for the I-don’t-know-how-many-th time! I hope there’s a third part coming. Feel free to ask for inside Aussie jokes if you need them. 🙂 I know @perfectfifths, @anna-brie, @jane-maree, @bluejay (if she’s around) would…[Read more]-
I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed it! I was actually really worried about the second one, but it seems to have worked out. 😀
I’m taking a little break before starting up on the third one, mainly because I have so many other projects I’m working on.
However, for all you Aussies, feel free to post your suggestions and maybe dialect here. I’ll be honest…[Read more]-
@dragon-snapper It shouldn’t be ‘saussies’ it should be ‘snags’ if you really want to use slang. 😛 And Kookaburra…well, it’s not exactly slang, it’s just the name of a bird.

Final logo everyone, courtesy of @kate-flournoy. And I am very happy with it and not changing it, so it’s up for Oooos and Aaaaaas, not critique this time. Just saying, because I’ve buried my minion under chocolate and stuffed dragons and I’m not pulling her back out to work on it any more. XD

True, I haven’t even seen a koala in the wild. I’ve bumped into a kangaroo though and narrowly avoided them with the car.
Another myth that they may or may not have heard is that our internet runs on gum trees. That’s why it’s so slow.
I’ve never seen a koala in the wild either, @anna-brie.
I don’t think my internet is all that bad. I’m fairly happy with it. Even Steam games, which are fairly big, being a few gigabytes big each, download fairly quickly. 😛
I’ve seen kangaroos in people’s yards if they live in the country.
We have kangaroos in our yard. And our internet isn’t all that bad. It’s not brilliant, but pretty good. It used to be bad, but we changed provider.
I just noticed that you forgot to tag @gideon-sowdon
I see kangaroos on a daily basis. ALSO YAS KOALAS. I’ve seen them reasonably frequently too.
MY INTERNET TOTALLY RUNS ON GUM TREES. XD XD I’ve never actually heard that one before?? But it’s great. I should start mentioning that to American friends… XP
@jane-maree I got that from this blog post. http://paperfury.com/10-things-didnt-know-about-australian-bookbloggers/
@anna-brie oh woww. XD That’s hilarious.
@anna-brie, this is one the best things I’ve ever read. She’s a great writer! ;P I was literally in stitches
Here’s a question. Do you guys have deer? If not, I’m thinking that the American equivalent of kangaroos is deer.
@clairec
@jane-maree
@anna-brie
@leumeister
@dragon-snapper We have deer, but they’re not native, and I’ve never seen them. Unlike foxes. They’re also not native.
@dragon-snapper what Anna said. And the lengthy conversations on deer and kangaroos that I’ve had with Americans I can confirm that they are comparable-ish equivalents. 😛
