@valtmy Is there a particular reason you have Saturday services? Is it a denominational or cultural thing, or is it just practical?

so yeah, I was busy Sunday and then I was up in Sydney all day yesterday, so I didn’t really get anything done then.

@valtmy

Saturday was a long time ago.

Like…a whole three days ago.

@rochellaine

NaNo went fairly well. I got the 50k (just)…

but as I was telling @valtmy the other day, I’m going to…uh, start my novel again?

@valtmy 😛 Interest is one thing, time is another.  Finals are just around the corner. 😉

(bows)

Cool.  How many parts will there be?

@seekjustice Hi!! 😀 Yes, it has been a bit too long, hasn’t it?

Thanks. 😛

How’s NaNo coming along?

@rochellaine @valtmy

Hellooooo!

I feel like it’s been a really long time since I’ve talked to you two 😀

(Congratulations on 10k, Rochellaine!)

@valtmy Hello!  Yes, it has been.

I’m off and on switching from memorizing law school definitions to work on Daughter of Judas. 😉

I reached the 10,000 word mark today! 😀

How about you? What are you working on?

@seekjustice @valtmy @jenwriter17

I’m writing now.

@valtmy Oh, I missed you again!  I’m writing now, though.  Anyone else?  @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @dekreel @catwing

@valtmy

I need to go too 🙂

I’m not sure whether I’ll be on tomorrow or not, since I’ll be at church and may end up doing other things as well, we’ll see.

Bye for now

@valtmy

A lot of people said that they wanted more descriptions of the settings, in particular. They had trouble visualizing what they looked like.

I think so 🙂 but of course I can always be surprised.

@valtmy

Ah, no…I was still thinking about abrupt endings. Apparently the conversation had moved on 😛

Me too, as my astute betas have continually pointed out. I obviously need to work on it as well 😀

😛 I can always use a good dose of humility. I can get a bit up myself on occasions.

@valtmy

I could just be imagining things, but that’s the impression I had 🙂

Yep, I understand. I think it helps keep us humble and reminds us that we really aren’t as great as we think we are 😉

@valtmy

I don’t think I literally meant mid sentence, but I didn’t have the sense that it was complete. I guess that can be dealt with next draft though.

That’s really disappointing. I’ve had that a few times so far and its also very frustrating 😣

@valtmy

Essentially. Though I’m going for a much more detailed outline which will help me write more quickly. In fact, I think most of my writing issues this month were because of the outline that I wrote, so I’m hoping solidifying some of the character goals and making the plot more streamline will help it go faster.

Yay!

(But did P2 finish? I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I did have a listen to it, I haven’t finished though. I like the sound 🙂

And I’ve heard of Mary Poppins returns. Not really sure how good it will be though!

@valtmy

Hello! I’ve got good news and bad news.

Good news is that Wattle Fire is halfway done

Bad news is that I’m starting again. Completely rewriting it 😛

@valtmy

Interesting. 🙂 It’s funny all the weird places inspiration comes from 😛

@valtmy

I have so many plot scraps running around in my head, and Les Mis just added about a hundred more. I may have asked before, but what’s 42nd Street about?

Yep.

@valtmy

I really want to start on SFI’s third draft.

But I am strong. I will finish Wattle Fire…sooner or later.

@seekjustice I know you don’t like operas, but have you heard of the opera Silent Night?  My family went to see it tonight, and it made me think of you because it’s about the Christmas Treaty of 1914.

@valtmy @bluejay

I’m here now, and will be for a little bit, as we just arrived home and I am wide awake. 😛  Anyone want to word war?
