@jenwriter17 At least it was actually for the story, and not something like “How to do my hair in a 1960s beehive.” 😀  I did need to know what trauma centers were called in other parts of the country, since I only know about the University of Maryland one.  But you’re right.  I should know better than to google anything during a word war.

@alia Well…since @jenwriter17 doesn’t want me to give away spoilers, I can’t really defend myself at this point. 😉  I do attempt to stress my characters out quite often, though I prefer writing lighter stories to the heavy dystopian/fantasy stuff that most of the people here write.  Have you seen any of my western?

@jenwriter17 Whoa!  I was sure I was going to lose because partway through I forgot I was in a word war and decided to google “hospital trauma centers!” 😛  When I realized what I had done I was horrified.

But, I ended up getting either 219 or 227. (I can’t quite remember which sentence I started with.)

@alia     …

What about the second draft? 😉

@jenwriter17 Well, since Alia’s back, how about we do ten minutes with her? 😀

@alia Them?!  I said I was considering killing one of my characters.  I will never come to your “side of things” as you call it when you speak in such ruthless and careless terms of my beloved characters lives.  So there.

@jenwriter17 Great, a word war!  How long this time?

@alia @jenwriter17 I am considering grabbing my characters and running for their lives.

@jenwriter17 @alia I DIDN’T give away a spoiler!  I just said he’d been found.  I didn’t say he was rescued.  How do you know if he’s okay or not?  Maybe he was dead when they found him!

@alia What a cut!  😛 I guess that’s a reasonable reputation, though.  I couldn’t kill Uncle Bill.  But I’m planning on getting my courage up to kill at least so…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 @alia @ariel-ashira @skredder @seekjustice I have an announcement to make!  Uncle Bill has been found!!!  Congratulate him, since he’s been waiting for this moment for a long time. 😀 😀 😀

You know you’re a writer when the very presence of book is inspiring.

@catwing Meant to say that I really enjoyed that last installment. 😛 I like how you portrayed me as that overly-protective, bad-cop type of dragon.

Because that’s what I am. 😉 😀 Awesome.

@alia Well I’m here finally.  Are you still here, or are you gone?  🙂

@alia I’ll probably be here in about half an hour, if you’ll be here then.

@jenwriter17 Hahaha!  Hooray!!! 😀

I accept your challenge for a rematch.  We shall meet again.

Okay, goodbye!  See you later.

@skredder @that_writer_girl_99 are you still here?

@jenwriter17 333 words. 🙂  I bet you beat me again.

@skredder I think at least a comic would be fine, since that actually has a story.  I don’t know about artwork.  But sometimes people come here just to chat with other people who are really writing.  I did that with SeekJustice on Sunday, since I don’t write on Sundays, but it was Monday for her in Australia and she asked if we could chat while sh…[Read more]

@skredder Oh oh!  I see.  In your first post about this you said

trying to convince someone that my MC is not trying to poison his wife.

That could be read two different ways, and I read it to mean that the MC was a man accused of poisoning his own wife. 😛  The “someone” they were trying to convince could be the police or something.

Don’t wo…[Read more]

@skredder I’ve been getting distracted too. 🙁

To prove he didn’t poison it?

My MC is about to have a nervous breakdown.

@skredder Haha.  No, I guess my characters wouldn’t like to enter your story.

However, if they did, you would let them?!  How could you? 😛

Well, it’s been a little longer now, so I can ask you “how’s it going?” and you might have an answer this time. 😉

@skredder My characters are frowning while yours are eating chocolate?  I’m afraid my characters are going to go on strike until they get better treatment.  Maybe they’ll try to escape and enter your story instead.  From one writer to another, you wouldn’t give them asylum, would you?
