Confidence in general was never one of my strongest points, and it still isn't. Even though I don't act like I could care less what people say, on the inside, I'm very afraid of what people will say. It's all an act I put on.
I almost did cry. D; Thanks(: I'm sure I'll need help, and you sound like an awesome person to go to (especially since I just read one of your stories:D)
And by what I mean when I say I haven't moved on from As I'm Pacing the Pews is that I'm always going back to the chapters and editing, and fixing little typos, and adding small tidbits that will help future readers. I guess I just know I could have done a better job on all of it, so I'm just thinking about what I could fix to make it better.
I understand exactly what you mean(: I'm currently saving all of my stories onto MicrosoftWord due to the fact that I was hacked a week ago, and the hacker deleted 20 chapters in my drafts, and a story that I was nearly finished with. Your advice really helps, I think I'm going to do exactly what you say; copy and save two files, then edit one. Confidence is a big thing missing in my life. Slowly, but surely, I think I will build up enough confidence to send it to an editor or something, but time is everything. Thanks again though!
You have made me tear up because of what you said on "As I'm Pacing the Pews". To be honest, the story was originally going to have Nicholas be the killer, and Noah was going to kill him, but when I really thought about it, it was too cliche for my tastes. My readers kept requesting a sequel, but when I thought about it, I thought I'd just be dragging it on.
Honestly, I never thought I could publish a book, let alone one I posted on Mibba. Never crossed my mind. I've never actually found (or heard of) a story where two of the main characters were gay, and it does bum me out when I think about it.... To tell the truth, my mom doesn't even know that I write this way. I actually haven't moved on from "As I'm Pacing the Pews". Thank you so much for encouraging me. Maybe one day I will bring it by a publicist, when I get my courage up enough. ♥
Haha, well that was the last chapter for the first part. I'm working on the sequel right now, I have to make sure the first chapter is super duper good of course :) But, if you haven't already done so, subscribe to the sequel's story page and you'll get an email when I post the first chapter :)
Haha, the scene you're thinking about is from the Lizzie Mcguire movie. I had just finished watching the movie with this little girl I had been babysitting and I was like, "that would be so perfect" so I added it in :)
