Oh yes!  We’re going to have to get together – with @jenwriter17 too – sometime once you’re here.  What are you planning on studying?

Visiting with family is really great. 🙂  I’m sure being an aunt is awesome.  My brother and sister-in-law live next door, and they’re going to have a baby in the spring, so we’re terribly excited about tha…[Read more]

@alia

Hey there!  How are you?

How have your holidays been?

@seekjustice

Well, that should be fun, if you do get them.  How old are they?

Yeah, that’s pretty much what they looked like. 😀  Ten is a lot.  But I think that’s a normal size litter for Pyrenees.  She had nine last time.  She’s a great mom, too.  Usually large breed dogs like that tend to accidentally sit on their babies the first week or so…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I am keen to write it! I think it will be a lot of fun.

Yes I am! Completely certified 😀 The new ones are Bull Arabs, which is an aussie breed which look like Great Danes but a little bit smaller. They’re from a pound in Queensland and just need someone to look after them and train them until they’re adopted.

I love Pyrenees and…[Read more]

A word war is where you and another writer (or writers) get together and choose a short amount of time, usually five, ten, or fifteen minutes, and then you write as fast as you can during that time, without checking grammar, spelling, or facts.  Then when the time is up, you count the words you’ve written, and see who’s written…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Historical, alternate world, pirates…well, that sounds like a lot of fun. 😀

Haha, I did the same thing with knitting.  I got the basic stitch down and lost interest. 😛

Congratulations! 😀  So are you an official dog trainer now?  What breed are the new ones you’re hoping for?

Our Pyrenees mama had ten babies a couple of mo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 As I’ve already explained all I’ve done in 2021 is be cuddled up in bed listening to an audiobook so it’s been pretty good.

@rochellaine

I’m not sure about it being well-written at the moment, but thanks for the sentiment 😛 My next one is a historical novel set in an alternate world (fantasy, but without magic? Or anything…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Hey there!  Nice to see you even if you aren’t staying. 🙂  How have your holidays been?

@godlyfantasy12

Have you ever done word wars?  Those are great anti-procrastinating games. 😉

@seekjustice

Well, if it’s got magic, I’ll just wait for your next his-fic. 😉  I’m sure it’s really well written, though.  Your stuff always is.

Have you ever tried crochet?  That’s what I prefer.  I think people usually like one or the other, not both. 😛

Haha, I’m cold all year long too.

Too bad.  Hopefully you’ll get to see Sigh…[Read more]

@seekjustice

LOL how is 2021 so far? The perks of being in Australia, huh? XD

(I’m not writing right now, just hopped in to say that)

@godlyfantasy12

I’m procrastinating getting out of bed. I’m usually up very early to walk my dogs, but its a public holiday and it’s raining, so its eight thirty and I’m still not out of bed lol.

My novel is still underwraps, but its a fantasy thriller novel with two brothers who may or may not hate each other as the main characters who must…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Not sure, so far no one even got the full blurb yet 😀 It is a proper fantasy though.

Yep, I knitted them! And yes, it is summer *pretends I’m not huddled under three blankets and still cold*

No, we don’t have any streaming services unfortunately, due to being rural and only have limited internet 🙁 So we just watch DVDs and a bit…[Read more]

@seekjustice Ooh! 😀  When am I going to get to read this “secret project”?

Knitting is your thing, right?  Is that how you made the covers?  Hot water bottles are amazing.  But isn’t it summer there? 😛

Oh, Come From Away should be awesome.   I’ve never seen it, but my parents saw it in New York last year and they said it was very good.…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Please keep reading Spinning Silver, I can’t guarantee you’ll love it but I was also very bored for the first bit and ended up rating it my favourite Fantasy book of 2020.

@rochellaine

I just finished my “secret project” on the 30th and it’s the first full novel for ages, so I’m very happy about that. I haven’t done anything short except articles for KP but I want to do some more short stories this year because I miss them.

We didn’t do anything fancy for Christmas and it was just my immediate family and my…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Sounds cozy. 🙂

I read your post where you said you’d read a hundred books this year, and…wow.  I really need to get back into reading.  I realized that’s why I haven’t been able to write: I just haven’t read enough books lately.   How’s your writing been going?  Have you written any short pieces lately?

Yeah, things have been…[Read more]

@rochellaine

The future so far has consisted of being snuggled up in bed listening to an audiobook while it rains. So it’s going pretty good.

I’m tired but pretty good! Can’t wait for the holidays to end so thing’s get a little less crazy.

@seekjustice

Salute from the past! 😀

How’s the future turning out for you? 😉

I’m doing great.  It’s been a really crazy year, but still, there were some wonderful things that happened as well. 🙂

How are you?

@rochellaine

Hello y’all. I’m currently in 2021 while the rest of you are stuck in 2020.

(Sorry, I just had to do that)

How are you?

@jenwriter17 @alia @valtmy @dekreel @catwing @gracie-girl @seekjustice

Anyone around?  I’ll be here for a while.
