Recent Struggles (Novel Ideas, Too) - Comments

Oh wow, that's awful I can't believe they're charging so much. Brendan decided to get his Master's and it's more expensive than his bachelors but not nearly what yours is. That sucks! I hope you get things figured out. You'll be an awesome teacher one day!

Some of my teachers worked as teachers and then went to school part time to eventually earn their Master's degree! And yeah I feel you, my pharmacy education is going to cost me like, $140k+.

Personally I really love how The City That Never Sleeps is sounding. OuO

Honey, I think we all wouldn't be opposed to marrying Zac or Seb. Like lets be real here. But I feel you with all the student loans crap and the outrageous tuition prices. I got a decent enough scholarship, I'm a freshman, but it's only for four years, I'm going for teaching as well, and I'm sure I'll be in the same boat as you once it's time to get my masters. Definitely not looking forward to that.

That's why I'm not getting a masters degree. Teachers in some districts only make, like, $1,000 more than a teacher with a bachelors degree, which I feel like it isn't really worth it.

Oh my gosh that's awful my dental school is $120,000... But that's for 4 years of school and I'll be a doctor. And my undergrad only came out to about 60,000 when I was all done, and that was 3 and a half and summers. I can't believe they would even think to charge that much for a year or two of school. That's insane! Are you going to go and try to get loans or save up and go later or move on to something else?? I hope things get better

Wow, I'm sorry about the money problems with the education - that well and truly sucks! Absolutely ridiculous, makes me wonder what sort of person(s) granted that rule in the first place because that amount of money must seem like nothing to them; or they've got their head too far up their arse to care. Either or both, I can't tell. Anyways, seems like you've some great ideas for story plots! Reading each one, I felt excited for them all and honestly can't choose one over the other. So maybe it would be best to create a proper plan and invest some more thinking into each on a free day and see if you are drawn and more interested in one over the others? Best of luck in your future, here's to getting your novel published!

Firstly, I am so unbelievably sorry about school. This country makes it far too difficult to attain higher education. It's despicable. But I have no doubts you will make it someday. After you get wealthy off this fabulous novel you're going to write! Hell, you may decide to just write for a living after that, yeah? Haha.

I am having the hardest time choosing just one of the three. I love all three plots so much. I loved The Six when you were writing it - it was so exciting and um, Dave Franco, hello? But I also share your passion and affinity for all things mafia related and I love that you're going Irish vs Italian instead of strictly Italian. But I think - if I were to go with my gut - I'd say Heartbeats. I think it's such a beautiful, still tragic, but incredible story line and it has the potential to be GREAT. I know you would take that plot and make it into a heartfelt and touching novel.

So - in an ideal world you would do all three and maybe someday you will - but I personally vote for Heartbeats.

You know that I'm always here for you babes, always. I'm sorry that everything is tough right now. But I'm always here, anything you need.
And I reeeeaaallly like the idea for the The Six :)
