Falo um pouco. At least as of yet.

We've been using Lingo Legend to get some groundwork built for months (and to a lesser extent, Drops), but we need to get ourselves into language lessons. There are government-sponsored ones that they offer for free, but I think we need to at least have both of our AIMA appointments scheduled before we qualify. (Mine just got set, but my spouse is still waiting on his.)

Well good luck to you!

I speak a different dialect of Portuguese, but I'd be willing to help with anything if you need it.

Yeah, the differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese are pretty vast. Heck, I'm even already able to distinguish some accent differences between Madeira (which we visited in 2024) and the mainland (where we are now). It's fascinating.

YO THATS GREAT!

OHOHOH WHAT IS IT CALLED?

(If you aren’t comfortable saying, Tis good.)

Right now, it's got a tentative title of "Burning Bridges" but that could change. I had to scramble for a placeholder with splitting the original book in two, with the original title ("Into the Fire") working better for what is now book 2.

We're over a year out from publication. Still a lot of editing work to do.

Congrats that's awesome!

Thanks! This is officially my fourth published short story. (The JordanCon anthology in April will have #5!)

Congratulations! That's awesome!

"humble potato" lol 

That's great  

I began my JordanCon life as a humble potato, but with years of work I have grown into a mighty yam!

Sounds like it.

Thumbs up and good luck!

As it turns out, everything was fine. Nothing terrible happened. Nothing even mildly bad happened. The sole purpose of my anxiety was to make me anxious.

Yay!

Anxiety's a sack of storms like that. Glad it went well!

Ooh, I'm intrigued. (quietly looks for original to refresh his memory)

Where're you planning on putting it?

Hee.

Here, definitely, and probably AO3.

Neato! I'll keep a look out!

(I really do look forward to this, btw. I don't mean to imply impatience, either -- I'm just glad you seem to have a draft you're happy with, and considering how much I did enjoy the original, I can't wait to see what the polished product looks like!)

Ah, pity. :/

Hey wanna send me a copy

I could, if you want. You'd just need to pre-order one through the JordanCon site and note down that I'd be picking it up for you. (What's one more book to pack?) And you'd have to be willing to give me an address to send it to.

Or you could just come to JordanCon in 2020.

Hmm...

Well, depending on traffic and weather, it usually takes about an hour for me to drive to Salt Lake, so the distance is worth mentioning even though it's a lot closer than we usually are.

Ooh! Which parks you planning on visiting?

Um. Lots. Definitely Zion (there's a lot of pretty wilderness between SLC and Zion) and Grand Canyon. There's other stuff around in there, and we'll head down to Sedona and visit Meteor Crater, the Painted Desert, and the Petrified Forest. Depending on time/stamina, we might head home from there or angle down into souther NM to visit Carlsbad Caverns.

I'm... not sure how I should feel about the fact that I recognize this quote from an MLP review, of all things.  

It's actually an appropriated quote from Game of Thrones - "The night is dark and full of terrors."

Yup. It was the structure that I'd recognized -- it was Antony C, I believe, who featured that scene in a review.

Yeah!

Got any great Hawaii stories?

Hmm. Well, on our beach day, there were monk seals hanging out. That was kinda cool. They had them all roped off so people wouldn't bother them.

And then the lifeguard announced over the loudspeaker that some poor guy had lost his wedding ring.

About an hour later, a snorkeler had found and turned it in.

Then learn some! It's not that hard.

*adds to list*

Can't wait to see it...I have a mistcloak design already set, all I need are supplies and time lol

I got called the rudest word that is a synonym for female genitalia! Today was the best day!

A real mature bunch, aren't they?  Also, yikes. I'm sorry

Heh, don't be sorry, I'm actually rather enjoying this way too much. I think that many of our Sharder friends would be shocked, shocked I say, to see how utterly snarky and ruthless I can be off the forum.

I'm glad it went well! So happy you were able to experience and take part in this. 

My mom and sister are going to the one in Asheville. 

Today is an important day, Kay, so good on you.

All the best.

So far so good.  Made it in without a hitch.

Pumpkin Katana Baseball, Hypothetically Genocidal Calvinball...

Game night with you and James must be quite the experience.

Heh.  James prefers video games, but I'm generally happy to start up a game of Ticket to Ride and crush all who dare challenge me.

Ticket to ride Is currentlkcurrentlky free on the amazon appstore. Might get it on my kindle

Of course I had to go look that song up.

Not sure how much I regret this just yet.  

Oo, did you watch the My Little Pony version?  Flufflepuff dancing on Rainbow Dash's head is the best.

No, but I have now.  

It's not a risk I'm willing to take.

Its going to be the gayest amusement park in the world. There is no way he is going to enjoy himself.

I would enjoy myself at the gayest amusement park in the world, but I already did and it's called Universal.

Writing. Will. HAPPEN.

It's here! The world will tremble at the power of peoples keyboards!

(Well, at least in Australia. The Americans have another 5 hours to wait )

Heh. Depends on where you are in America.  Here, there's just under 2 hours left.
