    Oh, wow, that all sounds incredible! :D you're very, very lucky!

    and I'm in my second year of university, and I have a part-time job at a fabric shop, but other than that nothing else is really going for me :') quite boring, really.

    @ Twiggy.
    Anytime :)!

    And I've been great, I'm engaged now and I plan on moving out in a couple of years. I also graduated from college in June, so I am pretty happy about that, I have a job now too (I work in a child care center).

    How about you?

    Ouu, I'll try and read that as soon as I can! The title even sounds promising; don't change it! If I have time this weekend, when I take a break from studying (I'm behind with work because I was off sick all week), I'll have a look and leave you a comment and everything. I'm sure I can make the time for you though, as I know you're a good writer ;)

    Ahaa, those are all good names! I definitely want to name one of my daughters Holly. I might name the second one Millie, because I think that is such a cute name. I also like the names Sophie, Eloise, and Rosie. I can’t decide, haha. For boys, I like the names Oliver, Jack, and Curtis :)

    Haha, really? I actually decided I would name one of my daughters Holly too :'D I just really like that name, haha.

    And thank you so much for reading that summary! You must have a lot of patience :')

    Haha, I do like writing twisted stories for some reason. Not that I’m a twisted person, lmao. I just find things like that easy to write about; this new idea I have sounds very twisted, I’m not sure how I will write it. I might end up upsetting myself :’)

    Anyway, I’ll send it to your inbox. It’s really quite a long summary of what I have in mind so far, so just read it whenever you have the time (: I need to focus on writing that Tom one for now, so there’s certainly no rush in having you read the summary of this new story.

    Ahh, you’re welcome! I’m glad I could help :D Let me know when you post a chapter, as I’ll definitely be reading ;)

    Do you really think I should write that example into a story? :’) I’ve got something else in mind as well though actually, and I was wondering if you’d have a read of the summary I’m writing and tell me what you think of it, if you’re not too busy or anything (:

    Haha, really? :D Did you know Lolita was banned in the 50s? I can’t actually see why, because it isn’t graphic or anything, haha. I suppose it’s just the concept behind it.

    I’ve never read Pretty Little Liars, unfortunately. I do like your idea though! I know what you mean by your ideas being jumbled. That usually puts me off writing for a while, or I end up deleting stories I started on until I get my ideas straight. Since that started happening a lot, I’ve tried brainstorming every idea I have and then seeing how I can put it all together later. Once I have that more or less settled, I first try writing a brief outline, and then a detailed summary like I would for school, haha. And as I said, writing about characters also seems to help. I also just generally think about my ideas over and over again until something comes clear. I don’t really know how I do that though, haha. Anyway, I’ll send that character example to your inbox. Hopefully it will be of some help (:

    Ouu, nice :) I've never been there, haha. I'm from Ontario (well, I'm actually from England and I'm living in Ontario - you probably read that on my profile though, so there's not much need to clarify, haha).

    Hmm, I sometimes like to write out detailed character profiles. I find that helps, because the more detailed you get, the more aspects you can find within a character that might contribute to the plot of the story. Say, for instance, if one of your characters was a stuck-up little cow, you could build on [i]why[/i] she’s like that - maybe its her past; did something bad happen to her? Or is she just spoilt? Then work out the relationships she has with the other characters; some of them may cause conflict, and once you have that unresolved conflict in mind, I find that it helps in building the overall plot. Just write about the characters like it’s a biography. Go into a lot of detail. I have an example of one I can show you, if you think this idea will work for you :’)

    Other things that work for me are thinking about a book, play or a film plot I really liked. Obviously I don’t mean go and steal the plot, but if there’s a certain concept or idea you really liked behind the plot, there’s no harm in taking inspiration from that idea and making it your own. My Tom story was inspired by ‘Lolita,’ for example :)

    I’m not sure if I’m making sense or helping much, haha. What are your initial ideas for your story so far anyway?

    Ouu, lucky! :) March break starts next week for me, although I probably won't be going anywhere like you are, haha.
    If you don't mind me asking, which province are you from?

    Thank you SO much for your comment! It really made me smile :')
    I'm so glad you like the story so far, as I was a bit iffy even on the notion of writing a sequel.

    How have you been anyway? :)

    You are the sweetest thing <333
    Thank you so much for reading, and for leaving such sweet comments!
    I have most of this planned out, so no worries on me not finishing (: I'm in school, but I'll try and get out at least one chapter every threeish weeks or so. I've got most of this next chapter already written, but we'll see!

    Again, thank you so much for reading! It means a lot.

    Yeah, and you can make sure it fits before you buy it :) The only things I want for Christmas this year are gift cards, bath stuff, perfumes, and make-up. Also books. But I really like vanity and beauty things more, haha. A lot of people know I like to draw, and so they get me sketch books, paint, pencils etc, but I'm always utterly disappointed when I get those sort of things :')

    Oooh, sounds fun! :) I don't really have any Christmas traditions. We just open presents and have a big Christmas tea/supper. I think everyone does that though :') Most of my family is in England, but we used to go and see them when we lived there; here it's just my step-dad's family, which isn't quite the same to me.

    I'm going shopping on Boxing Day though with my friend :) I'm getting some money from my dad and some gift cards for my favourite shops :D

    Yours are much more brilliant :)

    I haven’t posted it yet, I’m still debating on whether I should or not. It doesn’t even have a title yet :’)
