Hehee… I gave you the perfect excuse in baking you that cookie, didn’t I @Daeus?
If we’re talking excuses here, I was struggling my way through a present tense dream sequence. Does that count for anything? 😛

Okay @Daeus, I got 870 words edited. Not too bad. What did you get?

*stares hard at everlasting cookie*
I just thought I’d let you know @daeus, I’m not writing simply because I have run out of ideas. Momentarily, of course. 🙂 Hopefully it won’t be long before I’m back though.
*continues staring at everlasting cookies. Mouth starts drooling*

@Daeus yup. Here goes. See ya then.

I’m assuming that clinchers are catchy first sentences. If so, I really enjoy them. I love picking up a book just to see what the first sentence says. Rick Riordan has some of the best first sentences. Like ‘The Friday before winter break, my mom packed me an overnight bag and a few deadly weapons and took me to a new boarding school.’ But, though…[Read more]

Excellent thoughts guys! I agree with Hannah. I love a book that has good humor in it. 🙂 …anyways, I don’t have much more to add, but I really like the book so far.

*jumps in late*

@hope I agree! That name is perfect

@kate-flournoy Oh! I’ve never read Pride and Prejudice, so I can’t judge that one, but the opening of Northanger Abbey is pretty dull. It’s a fantastic book, though (except for the beginning). 🙂

I love clinchers, though I must admit I’ve never heard them called that. But if you ever have to step DOWN from a clincher to reach reality, you’ve gon…

Some of the best authors (like Jane Austen) begin their novels horribly…

What?! @gretald I think the beginning of Pride and Prejudice is one of the very best opening sentences of all time! ‘It is universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife’— what’s left to be desired? 😛
Oh well. To…[Read more]

Oh— and here’s your cookie. *hands you cookie* I doesn’t look like much, but looks can be deceiving. 😉

Ha! You need to take math again

What???????? What did I say? What did I do @Daeus? 😛 I didn’t think my horrible mathematical abilities were that obvious…

Give me my gold back and I will bake you one big everlasting cookie.

@Daeus

@Daeus wow, talk about revenge! 😛

Hey… you accidentally left all your cookies in the process of stealing all my gold and making off in your schooner. Can I have them? Thanks. *eats all cookies*

Aye aye, Cap’n— shiver me timbers, but we be editing too. *pauses, takes off pirate mask and squints thoughtfully at word-count*

*wonders if it will be wise to disclose said word-count*

*decides pirates don’t have to worry about being wise, slips mask back on and grins*

1,054 words edited @Daeus.

Har har har? What? Okaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy… whatever. 😛 Nine it is.

@Daeus

@Daeus I am. Let’s go. When do you want to write till?

@spradlin ahhhhhhhhh… yes. That does make sense. Very much sense. 😉 Thanks for your input. 😀

*nods head sagely* We approves of all this most wholetheartednessly. I won’t repeat it all— I’d sound like a broken record. But one thing I noticed about AF (can we use initials please? Thanks) is that because Orwell simply states the facts without making it clear what his true opinion is, the book is more easily molded to suit the worldview of…[Read more]

@Daeus I just remembered that I have something to do at that time. Sorry! 🙁
