I know what you mean, @kate-flournoy , I get that way myself sometimes. I’ve found, however, that it helps if the project is fun, the goal within sight, and the challenge fairly easy to accomplish. I also like the “grace days/week” for this challenge, because if I do something every day, even writing, it starts to feel like an evil task. Plus,…[Read more]

Sorry @bluejay , I was watching “Risen” with my family. We had to pause it for bedtime, though, so I won’t get to see the end until to tomorrow! Yikes!

Your supper time was the same as mine, @daeus, so I’m guessing we’re both EDT. (Eastern daylight time)

You have a weekly write-a-thon on Saturday? @kate-flournoy I like to have one on Writing…[Read more]

@daeus, I might….. (I actually kinda like that name.) But it might be the hero rather than the heroine. 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’ll see. *mysterious look*

Ooooooo @kate-flournoy. I like a lot of those, thanks.

Okay. I’ll keep that in mind @daeus. But I was also meaning, I don’t know how “odd” the names should be. After all, they are not people, but mermaid and that kind of stuff. But I don’t want to mimic “the little mermaid” too much.

Hey, not bad guys! I got more than I expected— 1,219 words.

@Daeus sure, no problem. I’ll be there… 😉

@bluejay you might try looking up lists of old Roman names, if the characters belong in Atlantis. Claudia. Octavia. Marcela. Octavius. Augustus. Maximus. Lucius. Luccellus. Marcus. Marcellus.

264 words. Very slow. 🙁 I am working on the idea you gave me @kate-flournoy. The one about the golden conch. I have no idea how to name my characters. Do you have any suggestions????

Undirectional???? @kate-flournoy. Or undirected? (to be honest I don’t even know if they are words) 🙂

Undirectionable???? @kate-flournoy.

*rubs sore head* Ouch. Well, that sort of worked @daeus. I have a slight idea of what I want to write about. Now to write it.
*I think I have a bruise now. Oh wait, that might have been when I got hit in the head yesterday with a tripod.*

And thanks @kate-flournoy

Okay @bluejay, welcome! 🙂

@Daeus, @kate-flournoy I’m here too. I’m not sure how long I’ll go for. Depend on whether inspiration hits me or not. 🙂

@Daeus yes. Mangoes are perfect. 😉 *cue long, rolling evil laugh*

@Daeus sure. I probably won’t get a very impressive word count as I am just cutting and piecing together and preparing the way for my weekly write-a-thon tomorrow, but let’s do it anyway. Until nine?

@bluejay hmm… probably the best way to say it would be a ‘I don’t know what to steer by’ lost. The theme is pretty much man’s need for a moral compass outside himself— the inability he has to determine truth or righteousness on his own strength, and the necessity for one true ‘way’ that every man should strive to walk.

Oh boy @overcomer, I don’t think I’d enjoy that… 😛 I try not to set word goals for myself over long periods of time, because the moment I feel like I HAVE to do something I stop enjoying it. I’d probably get more written if I pushed myself, but I want to take it slow (relatively 😉 ) and enjoy the process. I want to savor my relationship to my…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy What kind of lost is it? A Biblical lost? Or a “I don’t know where I am” lost? Or a “I don’t know what to do” lost? Or even a “I’m missing something, but I don’t know what” lost?

Actually @Jadamae I most certainly do have multiple personality disorder— that’s what comes of hanging out around imaginary friends long enough to write their stories! 😀 So when I say ‘multiple’ I mean like eight hundred… 😉
But that is my little sister there using my account. 😉

Hm @bluejay good suggestion… certainly on the right…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy You could call it “Lost” 🙂

Anyone else? @kate-flournoy, @hannah-c ???????????????????????????????????????????????
