@seekjustice Yes, we had a good time.  The sermon was nice.  It was about going to a secret place with God, and just talking with Him, without other distractions.  I certainly don’t do that enough!

Okay, sounds great. 🙂

So am I, actually, since it’s time for dinner. 😛  See you later!

@seekjustice The blurb sounds quite interesting!  (I agree with @jenwriter17, that you didn’t sound at all selfish in the original post.)

I did have to read the blurb a couple of times to figure out what was going on, as I was mixing up Yilla and the queen, but I think that might have just been that I was doing other things at the same time, so…[Read more]

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 Sorry for dropping out on you.  My sister and I decided to go to the Wednesday evening service at our church. 🙂

@seekjustice That is the absolute WORST thing about being sick!!!  I always say so.  I don’t mind the feeling of being sick half as much as the feeling of being strangled and incapable of song.  How can you properly express feelings without music?  Words alone just don’t carry it. 😛

Hope you get better soon!

A new project??  Is it a secr…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Not being able to sing high notes could just mean you need practice. 😉

Okay, well, I’ve got to go now.  I’ll probably be on for a bit tonight.  Bye!

@jenwriter17 You don’t even know what my voice sounds like! 😛

Um, let’s see…

Well, I would say sing all the time.  Around the house, while doing your work, while driving, whatever.  Practice does make perfect, and your voice will get stronger with use.  You probably already do this, though. 😉

The one thing that really bugs me about mo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Yeah, no, I wouldn’t have gotten more than a few pages into it by now, probably.  I do most of my reading in the evening.

Remember, she made my Jonas scene canon! 😀  Of course she changed it quite a bit so it would fit in with the story correctly, but Jonas does visit Chessy in jail! 😀 😀

@jenwriter17 Okay. 🙂

Well, actually she let me start reading the second draft early.  I think @dekreel has also started reading the second draft.  SeekJustice was letting me read it as she was writing it. 😉

@jenwriter17 I’m fine. 🙂

Yes, of course. 😉  I already had several people read it, and I just wanted a quick perspective on how the opening was going and what types of things I might need to change before I got too far into the book.  So I’ve got that, and can write again.  And by the time you’re ready, I should have more written for you to re…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 😉

I’m working on a short story.

How’s it going?

@jenwriter17 I’d probably faint if @seekjustice appeared at this time of day. 😛  But I’m here for just a little bit.

@seekjustice I haven’t been there in a really long time either.  I’ll have to take a look sometime soon.

Haha, I plan to, actually.  Someday.  But I’m afraid you all will be shocked when I do. 😛

Signing out now.  Goodnight!

@seekjustice Oh, no! 😛  The article does sound interesting though.  Was it recently published?

But I am giving my little Bathshua quite a bit of trouble, am I not?  I would certainly never let her die, though.  A dead father who betrayed everyone, a life of persecution, a broken arm, and a loss of faith are enough for anyone to go through, don…[Read more]

@seekjustice I didn’t go to sleep this time, just disappeared for a while.  I had some other stuff to do. 😉

How’s it going?

@catwing Okay, goodnight!

@catwing How are your books coming?

@seekjustice I suppose not. 🙂

Oh, did I ever tell you?  A little bit after reading Sapphire’s death scene I went downstairs and was talking to my sister.  She asked me if I’d been sleeping, because my eyes looked tired.  I said I’d been crying, and she looked sorry, and said gently, “Oh?  Why?” or som…[Read more]

@catwing Cool, what about?

@seekjustice Ah, and that reminds me.  I still haven’t finished your second draft.  I stopped right before Jonas’s death. 🙁  Maybe I’ll have time to get to the end of it tonight.

@catwing Cool. 🙂

Uh, well, my site is at aclassicfuture.com, but I haven’t posted anything in a really long time.  Over a month, at least.  I’m not very good at doing things on schedule. 🙁

@seekjustice 😛

Got to work meaning work on your writing, or something else?

@seekjustice Hello!! 😀 😀  Why exactly are you triumphant, though?

How are you doing? (Besides feeling triumphant. 😉 )

@catwing Hey!  What are you researching?
