@seekjustice Who knows?  The Word processor seems to be quite a bunch of confusion, at any rate.

@catwing

Okay I’ll be starting my timer for 15 minutes now.  SeekJustice, you’ll be joining too, right?

@catwing I added most of my character names to the dictionary on my computer, but new ones still come up with red lines, particularly Yilla for whatever reason.

@rochellaine

Maybe the Word processor is the reason we have intoxicated water and disembowelled voices?

@catwing Ah, I see. Yes, it did that to all my characters’ names too, but then I added them to the dictionary, so that helped.  Maybe you should do that.  Or you could keep it this way just so you can have the fun of complaining to and threatening Mr. Squiggly-Line.  Ooh, Mr. Squiggly-Line hyphenates.  Doesn’t that usually mean he’s pompous and…[Read more]

@seekjustice I checked, and mine wants to do the same, despite the fact that the sentence would make absolutely no sense if the word were “tripled” instead of “tripped.”  In fact, I am laughing right now at the picture I get of Bathshua moving so quickly she triples herself.  I wonder if it just means that the reader gets a weird form of double v…[Read more]

@catwing

Well done! It appears I am not so distracted now that I don’t have to deal with little brothers and sausages.

@rochellaine

I typed it into my own Word processor and it wants to change it to “Tripled”. as if that makes any sense whatsoever?

Want to word war again, guys?

@seekjustice Yes, basically.  On Word documents a blue line usually means that you’ve made a grammatical error.

Here’s the sentence.  Do you see any grammatical errors in it?

Bathshua nearly tripped in her haste to step inside and close the door

As I said, on my document the word “tripped” is underlined as though it were used i…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Thank you.

I think it does the blue line to indicate that you’ve used the wrong word, from memory?

@seekjustice Thanks. 😉 Congratulations, of course.

I am currently trying to figure out why there’s a little blue line under the word “tripped” in the newly written part of my novel.

Isn’t spellcheck/grammar check annoying sometimes?

@rochellaine @valtmy

Good job 😀

@seekjustice @catwing I got 400.

@rochellaine @catwing

I got 570. How’d you do?

@catwing @seekjustice 15 minutes it is, then!  I’ll start my time now.

@valtmy

I don’t know! I’ll go broke at this rate.

@catwing Cool. I’ll put my timer on now .

@rochellaine you can put your timer on when you’re ready.

@catwing

Awesome! Ten or fifteen minutes? @rochellaine

@valtmy Are you still doing lectures today? or do you get the day off?

@rochellaine

Certainly!

Anyone else want to join for a word war?

@valtmy

I know. I’m destroying my reputation! However, there is another character that must die for plot reasons. And the king’s royal advisor is just about to have his four brothers executed (his brothers, not the king’s).

@seekjustice

(Mine too.  However, it’s not such a bad song to have stuck in your head, is it?)

Aw, too bad.  You’ll ruin the new reputation you’re acquiring.

Yup, Biblical times were pretty terrible. But also pretty wonderful.

Wanna word war?

@valtmy Hello!

@catwing 😛 Good to hear.

@valtmy @rochellaine

I’m sorry for being a bad influence on you both 😛

@rochellaine

(drat it! it’s stuck in my head now!)

I may or may not kill her later, it just depends on how attached I get to her.

ah, don’t worry about me too much. I’m still torturing my characters.

Knowing what I do about those Biblical times, which isn’t a lot, I can imagine they’d be going through some terrible things.

@seekjustice

(Ohhohee what a comforting thing to see!)

It’s a miracle! 😛 You have gone soft.  That’s not a bad thing, though.

Did you transfer some of your hardness of heart to me?  My poor characters in DoJ are having pretty awful experiences. 🙁  (They’re necessary experiences, though…historical ones, at least…mostly…)
