Right…Well…it’s interesting I’d never heard of that side of it, I’ve just heard about the slavery issue. I did do a whole lot of research on the Confederate flag once though (Fun fact: Justice’s flag was based on the Confederate and Eureka flags combined with the Scottish flag, that’s why I was researching it).

Yeah, it is…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I have no idea about the Civil War. I know that one of the things they were fighting about was slavery, but I imagine that wasn’t all there was to it. I’ve only not read it because I’m not that interested…but yeah, it’s a classic and I have a list of classics to read this year, and it’s on there. So I’ll hopefully get around to it…[Read more]

@rochellaine Yeah, I thought so, that’s why I didn’t think you’d like it. However, I’ve been having some problems with it so I’ve put it aside for now, I was getting really frustrated with it.

No. Like I’ve said before, I know barely anything about America/American history, and I haven’t read anything about the Civil War. I’ve had Red Badge of C…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Oh cool!

Well, the way I used magic was…I don’t know…the servants, for example, are cursed to be invisible, because they’d treated an outcast girl as invisible, and they wouldn’t become visible until they’d had to weep for an outcast. That sort of thing. No one in it uses magic for their own ends and has it turn out good.

I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yeah, there’s a little bit, mostly in the form of curses. And ultimately magic makes everything worse, instead of better, but there’s still a little bit. I’ve spent a very long time researching the war…too much time probably! I’ve written a lot of short stories about it, and this novella, but I’ve never actually tried writing a…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, no, I needed to put that one aside for a bit. This is a his-fic one set in World War 1. But you can still read it when I’ve finished. You’ll probably like it more than the Beauty and the Beast one anyway because it has no magic. 😀

The movie? I don’t think I’ve actually seen the start, I can’t remember. when I saw it on YouTube…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’m working on my novella again. I’m getting close to the end, so that’s exciting 😀

@kaymart Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I hope you enjoy it here!

@rochellaine

Hey, are you around?

@epicaddie2

I’m doing Camp NaNo! I’ll be writing the sequel to my child…I mean, my WIP. I think @jane-maree might be doing it too!

@salome01w4g

I’ll definitely be praying for you *hugs*

@notawriter

I’ll be praying for you too *more hugs*

@alia

Congratulations on getting so far! I’ll be praying for your tests 😀

@daughteroftheking

I’d forgotten about that :/ but it’s good news!

@jenwriter17

I know right? I’m so boring. I’d love a steampunk horse though.

Standardbreds can be really weird to ride, especially if they were trotters or pacers like mine were. Some of them won’t canter, and the pacing gait is really weird. Last time I got on a thoroughbred I won an impromptu race and ended up with a sprained ankle which is…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper

That’s good! I love when the editing’s going well, it makes everything much more enjoyable 😀

@jenwriter17

Yes, we do have horses (none of them are steampunk, unfortunately). I’ve got two Standardbreds and two shetlands, but I think one of the shetlands is part Welsh, not sure though. I ride bareback :D. I have an English all purpose saddle though. Western isn’t really that popular in Australia, except for rodeo riding.

@jenwriter17 *hands out virtual chocolate prize to Jen*

I need to go now, bye!

@rochellaine

I probably could have Googled it as well 😀 I just thought I should keep you on your toes.

You hear that, Wolfe? You have been told!

Anyway, we’ve got a farrier coming for our horses, so I’ve got to go and do some jobs and do the horses, and then i’ll be back later ;D

@jenwriter17

Good job! I don’t think it’s cheating, I just needed to know where it came from.

@rochellaine

Waif is selectively mute, which means he can talk, but just chooses not to. This character actually can talk, but he isn’t able to because he’s German in England during the first world war, so if he spoke he’d give himself away. Which he just did, because he talked, and he’s not supposed to. Drat you, Wolfe!

@alia @jenwriter17 @rochellaine

Quick Bible quiz for you all. Who can be the first to tell me which Psalm says “Be Still and know that I am God”

First to answer wins….something.

@alia

I won’t press charges because it was pretty funny. Also, I’m too busy pressing charges against my novella, which has a mute character who just spoke and I’m so ashamed of myself 😛
