@kari-karast Whenever I’m in any place that has swords, which isn’t very often at all, sadly. =P xD

XDD

@kari-karast Good to know! *loves telling stories XD*

Yeah, the swords actually weren’t mine and we didn’t have any better ones at the time, soo… =P (also, soft swords aren’t nearly as satisfying to clang together!! XD XD) But yeah, thanks! And that’s great about the pool noodle. XD XD

@thewirelessblade Of course, what else would a…[Read more]

@libby WOW that sounds serious. :O

Yeah, @kari-karast Like Libby said, it’s the same for me; I wanted to deny the seriousness to the point where I easily convinced myself I was fine. And told everyone that I was fine. To the point where when my mom tells people about it, she says it didn’t slow me down at all but I was ready to swordfight the…[Read more]

@kari-karast Oh, ok. 🙂

Well… let’s see. It’s been 4 1/2 weeks and I, the usually highly energetic/motivated person that I am, still never feel up to doing anything active like running/fighting etc. (Btw, my concussion was minor, I didn’t even black out.) And I had pretty much a nonstop throbbing headache for the first week and a half or so,…[Read more]

^^^^ to @kay ‘s question about what you’re specifically wanting to know XD

Ok, sooo… xDD First of all, how bad is the concussion? Did the hit knock her out, or what?

@kari-karast Maybe make a new thread (no, I don’t know of any that would currently work… though I haven’t been on here for a while so idk) and you can tell me exactly what you need to know 😀 (Btw, I actually got the concussion while swordfighting. Go figure. XD)

Btw, if anyone needs help with writing about a character with a concussion, I’m here for ya! xD Though you might not wanna get me started…. (for the record, a concussion does NOT entail just a headache for a few hours and then you’re fine!! NO SIREE!!!)

@kari-karast I LITERALLY GOT A CONCUSSION ABOUT A MONTH AGO (unintentionally)!!! It’s not fun at all… but at least it’s helpful for writing. Also, I’ve realized that concussions can happen much more often than you’d think… Several of my characters probably have concussions at this point. Oops.

Whoo! Go guys!! *waves pom-poms* unfortunately I won’t be able to join the sprint, but I’m cheering everyone on and will try to write a bit more before November ends too! ;D

Go peoples!!! *tosses confetti and hands out cups of tea*

@parker Pshhh, that stinks. Safety 🙄 XD

Lol that’s great xDD

@parker Did they agree? What happened?!? *is sooo curious now XD XD*

@bookcrazygirl I don’t know if this is super helpful or not, but something I’ve usually done when helping writing friends is to not only point out the mistakes, but also point out the good things. I like to comment on all the lines/phrases/word choices I especially like. It really encourages the writer while helping them know their strengths and…[Read more]

@katherinerosemcbride L.O.L. THAT’S HORRIBLE BUT ALSO REALLY ACCURATE XD XD XD

Ouch. 828.

You all are doing great, keep up the good work! I really really wish I could join in a lot more, but know that I’m cheering you on!!

You guys are amazing!!! Great job everyone!!!!!! 😀

*shrinks down in seat* my goal this week is to not get distracted by writing, from all the other things I need to do. 😛 Hopefully I’ll be writing some though. 😛
