(a tad is a very long way in Australia. Just down the road is open to interpretation) It’s lovely! I’m listening to the Porcelain album now. I have a young friend who I’m going to mention Helen Jane Long to, because if he hasn’t heard of her, I think he’d like her.  Bye!

Hello! Now, I have to ask you, have you seen…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Well, I’m a bit obsessed with it at the moment. If you lived a tad closer I’d invite you over to watch it with me.

I have no idea. I don’t have Netflix so I don’t keep up to date with what they’re doing. Though I did hear Amazon was making a LoTR tv show about Aragorn or something.

I just listened to The aviators by Helen Jane Long…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

I find doing sort of “mini-plots” on sticky notes and just tossing ideas around is really helpful for pushing through the uninspired bits.

If obsessively rewatching Prince Caspian and The King’s Speech counts as prep, I’m doing brilliantly 😛

@jenwriter17

Cool! I’ll check those out. How’s your NaNo prep going? Are you doing any prep?

@jenwriter17

By the way, do you have any suggestions for good instrumental soundtracks to listen to?

@jenwriter17

😀 And you reminded me, I really gotta sit down and write some posts too. I’ll do that once I’ve put the washing away so I can actually sit on my chair 😛

@jenwriter17

Hey! I’m folding the washing but I’ll join you anyway.

@jenwriter17

Hey! I’m folding the washing but I’ll join you anyway.

@valtmy

I’m the opposite. I can’t get anything finished without planning. Though I still have days when I have no idea what’s happening next.

Well…I do believe there’s a difference between purposeful ridiculousness and lame ridiculousness, which in all likelihood is what my stories are.

@valtmy

Self-criticism has got to be the worst thing about being a writer…or being a human really.

I’m a bit of an obsessive plotter for that very reason. I tend to get lost otherwise and end up with ridiculous plots. Or lack thereof.

@valtmy

That is unfortunate 🙁

@valtmy

🙂 how’s your current WIP going?

@Rochellaine

Goodnight.

@rochellaine

Me too. I’ve had some really bad asthma attacks which obviously haven’t been all that good for me.

That sounds like a highly fascinating operetta.

@valtmy

Speaking of asthma, I’ve always wanted to give a stereotypical fantasy hero asthma just to see them deal with it 😛

That is, if you manage to remember it.

@valtmy

Well, it still sounds like a fairly depressing story 😛

Ah, canola fields are really pretty! There’s a lot of them around here too and I like looking at them 🙂 .

@rochellaine

Hello! Its been…a few days. How are you?

@valtmy

Yeah, I think it would be be so much worse if it happened now. We’re definitely completely dependant on His grace!

Oh well, that’s good. I love a good poetic justice storyline in that case 😀

@valtmy

You should know me better than that. I’d hate to be one of my characters.

Yeah, that matches what I’ve read. The thing I find interesting, and scary, about it is that since no one knows what caused it, we couldn’t prevent it from happening again. So theoretically we could have another flu outbreak and all die anytime.

That sounds like a…[Read more]

@valtmy 😛 I think I’ll use it very soon!

Haha 😀 one of my WWI ideas involves the actual Spanish flu wiping out all the characters who manage to survive the war.

Or maybe not that drastic.

@valtmy

Hello! I’m watching a movie and researching tuberculosis. Not for the purpose of torturing characters or anything, of course.

@Catwing @jenwriter17

Thanks so much! I passed, so I am now qualified to drive a car by myself 😉

Oh and I forgot @jenwriter17
