Oh yikes XD I have no idea how you have enough patience to stick with a project for that long. (I say as I’m writing a trilogy that’s probably going to end up well over 400k total.) But that’s only the first book in the series and you have five planned?

Yeah, sometimes I wonder ‘Noah, why don’t you just write a nice YA trilo…[Read more]

They did eventually salt the roads, but left the house at like 6:50 in the morning, so they didn’t have much time to do it before we were driving.

Huh, that’s odd! With us they usually salt it the night before. I’m glad it was cleared up though!

Technically, you write faster than I do, I just force myself to get up early and put in t…

And you started one week ahead of me, about six weeks ago?? Wow, that’s incredibly fast!

Yeah, I think I started on the third week of December.

I never cease to be both horrified a…

Okay, so did I say the weather was improving here? Well I take that back. I’m driving me, my brother, and dad to school, and we see snow on the road. Then we get to the highway, and people are going quite slow. Then we get on the highway, and discover it’s slick with frozen snow and some ice. We then begin passing cars in ditches and…

Ha, I love it. That guy is dead serious about the whole thing. xD

He didn’t even need to be XD He obviously dropped his guard once or twice, giving me the chance to attack but my brain short-circuted and I did nothing. XD

It wasn’t easy but he was really fair about it and insisted I got points for a head-hit that wasn’t clearly seen…[Read more]

It happened twice. And then additionally one time someone crashed into me and hit my neck so hard my mask completely tilted. I was very nearly knocked off my feet that time

Sweet. 🙂

Also fun fact that was all the same person because he doesn’t hold back ever. That may also explain why I am shockingly sore even though I only f…

Ah come on, it isn’t that bad, you can do it.

Thanks for the encouragement but I’m going to keep being dramatic about it XD

Now that’s what I’m talkin about. I love it.

It’s me against the horrors of physics and the horrors of physics are winning.

Ah come on, it isn’t that bad, you can do it.

My dad filmed it so I now have visual evidence of myself getting stabbed in the throat so hard I literally spin 360 degrees like an old-fashioned cartoon which is everything I’ve ever wanted out of lif…

You’ll do fine.

Hey, you lost spectacularly, that’s the important part.

I get a high-school diploma end of next schoolyear! If I… yaknow… pass.

You’ll do fine. 🙂

It was awesome! I had a great time! I had three matches and spectacularly lost all three because a. I’ve never done this before and b. everyone I was matched against was wayyy more experienced. But I actually managed to score four point…

Ah. I was/am also homeschooled, I’m just taking some advanced classes in a career placement high school.

That’s cool! I’m taking exams at the end of every year so I get a high-school diploma end of next schoolyear! If I… yaknow… pass. XD

Sounds like great fun! Even the rear getting kicked part.

It was awesome! I had a great t…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

Well, I’m homeschooled so nothing has changed there XD

Ah. I was/am also homeschooled, I’m just taking some advanced classes in a career placement high school.

But it did slacken up a little again. HEMA resumed, which is awesome. Also I have my first tournament tonight, which is both terrifying and very exciting. It’s a rea…

Hey Noah!

How is life? School keeping you busy as well? Weather cleared up any? 🙂

How is writing? Did you get that one character figured out?

@emily-waldorf

Seriously, though. I was having trouble with the first quarter of my WIP, and something you said got me thinking, and I might have a change coming (and a huge rewrite, but if it’s better, who cares?)

OOoh, that’s cool! Big rewrites are scary but worth it!

Poor Farran…that sounds marvelous! How long has he liked Liorah?

Oh dear, no! Qatar wouldn’t do that. It does get me thinking though…

I was just thinking because perhaps possibly some of… a friend’s characters might have done that XD

That’s what I would have guessed! I want to read that one soon, but I have to work through some other books, and I thought I’d better give Dickens a break. Ha…
