Though definitely intriguing. Why did poor Cele see gongs and get confused?

Well, you certainly know how to disturb people.
Goodnight
And yours is just a tad confusing 😛

I just finished my fifteen minutes. I got 415.
My last sentence (hence my interest in colts):
Several foals, all varying shades of brown, three black mares and a yearling colt, who looked big enough to be kicked out of the mob any day now.

Well, I’ve just noticed a lot of use of the word colt. Just then I saw “rounding up mustang mares and colts”, etc. So I was wondering if it had a different meaning.
“Some guns are called colts” was also my immediate thought.
All right, I’m putting on my timer again @Catwing

Righto. The things I was reading seemed to indicate it meant more generally a horse that hadn’t reached mature age. Here it very specifically means a horse between 1-4. Younger than 1 is a foal, and a female is a filly. I’ve never really seen any Americans use those terms though, which was why I was a little confused.

And I’m pretty sure I have no interesting sentences, but this one…
This brumby was one of a highly sought after colouring–not quite pure white, but not cream or golden either.
…is a reference to one of my favourite childhood books, The Silver Brumby.

Guess what? I got 269. Without eating pizza.
I’m sort of stuck on the details of capturing brumbies though. Exactly how one does it with a horse and no helicopter.
By the way, Jen. Since you are an American horsie person, what does the word colt mean? You seem to use it in a different way to we do.

My guild did not win the last word war though 🙁
Okay, I’m putting my timer on.

I have a secret… for some reason Scrivener counts more things as words than Word, I’m pretty sure.
But yes, I would love another war. Pizza calls right now, but I’m sure I can eat and type. I need a handicap anyhow.
Also, do you want to do that “share the last sentence you wrote” or something like that for some fun?

@jenwriter17 @valtmy @rochellaine @catwing
Um, hello again!
My timer has gone off, though I’m not sure about Catwing’s. I got 596 for all who wanted to know.
I was also just laughing because “Prince William gave hope to thousands of bald Englishmen by losing his hair”.

Awesome. See you then 🙂

I believe it does, though I don’t really use those features a lot.
Ah, that’s why you were wondering about Android. What do you currently use? Google docs or something like that?
I’m fairly certain Scrivener can be synced into a word doc, but I much not sure how to do that.

Aha! Someone to word war with! You may choose however long you like 😀
-
SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
Yes, I am still sick but I feel I’ve been miserable for long enough and must drag myself from my sickbed and start writing.
By the way, I started my NaNo novel a few days early and was writing it in Scrivener and I love it! I’m finding it quite easy to use for first drafting, easier than I expected.

What?? You’ve all abandoned me?

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
All right, I’m back. I’ll wait this war out and join when you finish 🙂
-
SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #21 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
I’m going to shower and then I’m coming back to try and force a few words out of my poor sick brain, so maybe when you’ve finished this war I could join you for a second?
