Hawaii was illegally overthrown in the 1880s and they have been petitioning to regain their independence ever since then. Their Queen headed up the movement until her imprisonment in 1900s (ironically for treason against the US government), but its been going pretty solidly since then.

That’s just a little fact I learnt…[Read more]

I think theoretically the one writer thing worked well, but in practice it was a bit stressful. I mean, I know I could have asked for some help, but I’m the sort of person that wants to do what they said they’d do.

Maybe we could try working strictly with two writers. One can always pull out and another one can take their place,…[Read more]

@princess-foo

It is done 🙂 I just haven’t been able to get on the internet lately as I’ve been busy with a lot of last minute plans (and only just turned my internet on now :P). Sorry for taking so long 🙁

Let me just track down that Google doc.

@selah-chelyah @ashira

I have eight of the Elsie books and have never liked any of them 😛 As @rochellaine said, way too dramatic and ridiculous, as well as suffering from some unfortunate racial portrayals (as does pretty much any book from the time).

@karthmin I really enjoyed this article. Maddie is a wise woman.

I love all her points, especially as a rather emotional person who definitely does get upset by harsh critiques, no matter how honest they may be.

No.1 is particularly good. When I had alphas/betas for the first two drafts of my novel I was expecting them to point out a lot of…[Read more]

Food is such a motivator for me! I’m lactose intolerant, so I don’t usually eat ice cream, but I found a really good coconut ice cream which I buy as a reward for finishing a first draft or a round of edits. Its far too expensive to buy just any old time.

And writing late at night/early in the morning is also hugely motivating, though…[Read more]

-Be involved in the guild war this month.

-Replot some of my WIP

@princess-foo

So far I have zero ideas but I would love to try tackling this prompt. I love the sound of it (and I’ve been reading a lot of literary fiction lately and want to try my hand at my own piece :P)

Of course though, if someone else is keen to do it, that’s fine with me.

@morreafirebird

I saw this in my inbox and just stared at it for a bit thinking, “Who on earth is K.M.Small?” I’m glad I’ve got that sorted out now 🙂

@catwing

A pillow stuffed with feathers…wait…

How are all your goals going this week?

@elena-may

Hello! My name is SeekJustice and I’m also a homeschool graduate. I’m Australian, currently having a gap year and then I’m going to study dog training and behaviour when the course I’m enrolled in begins next year.

I find speech therapy fascinating! I’m really interested in Auslan (australian sign language) and I’d like to study that…[Read more]

@serenity

I just realised I don’t have any way to contact you. I’m sending out the novel today, so if you could just quickly email me at anordinarypen@gmail.com I’ll send it to you!

@eden-anderson

If you could give me your email that’d be great.

(If you don’t want to have your email on here, email me at my blog email anordinarypen@gmail.com )

-Rewrite a short story

-Blog post

-Work on a calligraphy piece.

An update on the election:

The Liberal party got in again. They haven’t stated their views on abortion (leaving them up to individual state governments to decide,as it falls within the realm of health), which I think is an approvement over the Greens and Labor parties, which wanted to make abortion a federal issue. Praise God for this reprieve,…[Read more]
