@jenwriter17  I’d like to join! I need to read LOTR anyways. 😛

Hopefully I will have the time!

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 Im glad you like it!  I will likely name it that, but of course I dont really know for sure yet.  I am having the worst time I have ever had naming characters yet!  Medieval English names are pretty awful for the most part.  😛

@rochellaine Like I mentioned, I am only able to research right now, not actually write the thing.  So no, my character is a ways from being burnt.

How does the title “My Blood for Yours” sound?

@jenwriter17 I am trying to come to a decision on what I am gonna name some of my characters.

@rochellaine HI!

@rochellaine @valtmy Hi!  I am back on for a bit.  I will be on and off today.

@rochellaine I am on, but the family is waking up now so I think I will have to go.  I read about butter, but I don’t think they did that in the Middle Ages.

@seekjustice Neat!  Seems like that would help when you are a writer. 😀

Okay, goodnight!  Tomorrow for you might be tonight for me. 🙂

@seekjustice These are some things they used:

Honey
Flaxseed/Linseed Oil
Spirit of Turpentine
Aloe
Wine
Cold Water Compress
Lime Water

You are a first aid officer?  I should know what that means…

Well, I am here if you want to chat.  It is 7:00 in the morning here, and I am up before everyone else, so I think I can talk for a little while longer.

@seekjustice I cried when you said the same of me.

@seekjustice I agree it is more common but way underused.  I don’t yet know which kind I will give my characters, though.  Have you researched burns?  I was yesterday.  My character suffers from some level three burns, and I was finding out what they did in the Middle Ages for burns.

What time is it there?

@northerner @kate-flournoy I love SE!  A lot!  It has pretty much the same mission as KP.  I go over there all the time to haunt the forum and read the new articles which have been amazing.  Still, it saddens me that KP is not what is used to be and so many people have left.  My best friends though ( @alia @seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 esp…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yeah, I was researching the kind of amnesia where you can’t remember anything after the accident.  It appears to be more common than the kind where you forget everything before the injury.  I had not heard of it before though because it seems like movies and books use the other kind more.  I had also seen a movie recently where th…[Read more]

@rochellaine  Do you not like the Black Stallion books?

@rochellaine Yeah, movies tend to use the rarest cures possible. 🙂  I have not read Hans Brinker.  Now that you mentioned it, I will have to read it. 😀 My favorite amnesia story is The Black Stallion Revolts.  And the way Alec gets his memory back is terrific!  Its one of my favorite stories.

I had the tiniest bit of amnesia when I had my thi…[Read more]

@rochellaine I am coming along well, I guess.  I am still in the researching, outlining part of several stories and I am not actually writing them yet.  Part of why I cannot write them yet is because this crazy laptop we have to use right now doesn’t even have Word Documents!

How much do you know about amnesia?  (It is a lot of fun.  Shh…[Read more]

@rochellaine I am researching amnesia and level three burns.  Sometimes when I think about what I have to do to my characters, I wonder how much I really want to be a writer.

@rochellaine I am on!  Are you still?

@rochellaine Keep ranting, I like it.  Yeah, even if they played up parts like that, or added more scenes to the same plotline, it would have been a lot more realistic and interesting.  I mean, she almost died several times!

Its kind of like the new Ben-Hur movie that came out recently.  Its nothing like the book, and its so unrealistic I could scream!

@rochellaine I have not seen pilot episode, or whatever you called it. 😀  How terrible!  Why oh why can’t they make it true to the books?!  Your rant was pretty awesome.

BTW, I have not seen a lot of the things you all talk about, like Les Mis.
