    It's not a problem! And I get what you mean. Sometimes I'm not nearly as wild about an idea as other people are and I've uploaded it and they want more and I'm all, "Errr...." So yes! I'd be glad to proof read. Since I'm an editor for my school paper now Coffee No big deal.

    Yeah, it's pretty warm here. Hot actually, hahaha. I'm not a big fan of really warm days - I prefer our falls and springs where you can get away without wearing a jacket during the day, but wear jeans, and then it's chilly at night. But it's just freaking hot now and bleh. That sounds pretty fun anyway! At least it was a break, so that must be nice. Yeah, I can see why that would be a problem :// But vacation spots should be good, you're right. If your friends knows Turkey well, then you should be fine. How far is it from you? This feels like a dumb question, but to get to Turkey would be quite an event for me, haha.

    That's really cute!! :D :D I'm so jealous, haha. And it's good that it won't be all parties. I would not be able to handle that, haha. Too many people in my house and no escape. Ugh, can't even start to think about it, haha.

    About a year, haha. I'm born in 1995, and I'll be eighteen in November. Yeah, from what I can tell, we're in school a lot longer than everybody else, it feels. My cousin was done with high school at, like, sixteen. It's crazy. That's awesome! Yeah, I want to do editing/managing/etc. Yeah, that's my goal too. But I like to read and I have a working knowledge of how things work, so I think I could try my hand at it and have it come out relatively well. I really want to work at a publishing house, or eventually own one but that's dreaming pretty big, haha.

    Deal! I'm ready for it when you're ready. And bummer about that. I have that fear that it'll happen to me. I would be at an utter loss. I don't even want to think about it.

    I went to the beach for a week, for the holiday. My friend is kind of a hardcore beach-goer, so we're at the beach all day and it was my first "proper" trip, so I got fried, haha. Ooh, Turkey! That would be fun. My friend is Turkish, which is a totally irrelevant detail to write about, but we had to plan a fake trip for a class, and we "went" to Turkey, haha. Psychology is really cool, so that would be sick! You're living my dream right now, I hope you know. That's all I want in life - a shoebox of an apartment that's chalk full of all my stuff but I love it anyway because it's mine, haha. Well, I'm going to my last year of high school, this coming year. So I have to figure out what colleges I want to go to - and I'm pulled into a million different directions. I know that I want to do something with English and right now I'm thinking publishing, but I've kind of been looking into screenwriting so I don't really know, haha. #messy hahaha

    Well thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it.

    Exactly! It's kind of a pain the ass. Realistic fiction can be soooo much easier because of that, because I'm never really *not* in that world. But werewolves and the sort is difficult, haha. And yes, I'd love to read the first chapter! I don't think it's up, so let me know when it is and I'll be glad to check it out! :D :D
    Haha, thanks! I've only written a little so we'll see how that goes, haha. I did. I got a little sunburned, but I'm still in one piece, so that's something. And bummer, that really sucks. I luckily had off for the 4th, but now it's back to normal schedule. Ugh, school. Don't even want to think about it.

    I know In Love It's just so good.

    You should! It is one!

    EDIT:

    Also! Thank you for the comment on Silver! I'm glad you like it :D :D

    Hi! I'm glad you're liking Guilty so far! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I've been busy with summer classes and traveling. I'm updating it soon :)

    That's usually how I try to "power-through" I guess. I just kind of hit a roadblock and stopped writing. I also have to be in the werewolf-y mood, which only happens when I read a ton of werewolf-related books and watch TV shows that are related, otherwise I'm only interested in realistic fiction, haha.
    As you can tell, it's up. Thank you so much for the comment! I was torn away from it when I was on vacation and I'm happy to be able to hunker down and write some more of it. (Instead of battling stupid pieces of paper as they try to fly away because it's too windy on the beach). Well, if the twin thing is important to the plot, I would roll with it.

    So true, though. I mean, the writing was all that great to begin with, but I can totally see if on here with a couple more spelling mistakes and missing commas. It's kind of funny that it might match up with a teenage girl's writing XD Yes, We Were Birds is king! I love that story so so so much.

    So true. And he's always the one who isn't lucky in love, from what I've read.

    I get that. And that metaphor was a good one and makes sense, so I dig, haha. I use parentheses a lot, too, in my messages and such XD I always wish that I could make them work in my writing, because sometimes it adds a quirky touch, but it always feels contrived and I get frustrated and take them out.

    It is. Hopefully, haha. I'm in this weird stage right now where I just need one chapter before all the falling action but I don't quite know how to set it up correctly. I have an idea, but eh.
    I actually just started a new one, too tehe I like the first two a lot. The first one sounds a little darker, so I don't know if that's what you're going for, but they both have different vibes. So if it's a darker story, I like "the Blackwater Bridge Twins."

    Bella was really drab. And I agree that Stephenie could have done a lot better when it came to development and really anything. It read just like how it was started, in a dream and she was just filling in the details. And she didn't want it published at first, which is interesting.

    That's interesting. I don't know what Matt looks like in the show, quickly googling... I can see that. He's cute, haha. When I read the VD books, I thought of him like how I pictured the Matt in the books... Does that make sense? Hahaha. I feel like there's always a Matt in vampire/werewolf/just-the-default-non-love-interest, but when I was drafting him, it was the only name that fit.

    Ahh, I see. I'm so envious that you can write those. I struggle so much with keeping the story rolling whenever I cut out my dialogue. That's usually what I lead with, and usually what I prefer to read, but you write in a way that it doesn't hammer you with descriptions either.

    Good! Then I'll continue to be lengthy, haha.

    I have a few more chapters already written, but I'm kind of at a stand-still where I am right now. Nergs, haha.

    That's such a good point. I think some writers try to leave it more open so that the reader can fill in the skin for themselves. I think it was Twilight where they counted the amount of descriptions Bella and, and it was pretty few: brown hair, brown eyes. Which just gave the reader the ability to jump into her skin. I'm happy you like Autumn though. At first she felt a little dull, and almost a little Bella-like because she was grumbling about her lack-thereof of relationships. I just think he's relatively funny, and kind of an asshole in some regards. If I were reading it, I'd probably be more interested in him, haha.

    I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, my theory probably isn't all that solid - I'm really bad at guessing things, haha. But I like that the story can twist what you think in a hundred different directions and not confuse you. I can see where people might say it's confusing, but I think that they just have to read a little closer. I read through it quickly once and I got lost, but when I went back through, it really did snap into focus. And, haha, the length of my comment! As you can tell (ahem) I don't really have an ability to sum anything up XD EDIT: Oh, more to say, of course! Your chapters! I didn't really see any weak spots in the chapters as a whole. I think that they're the perfect length in their respective moments, and I think that the way you end them (or they end themselves), it leaves them on a good note.

    Hahaha, thanks for your comment and rec on Silver! I'm glad you're diggin' it.

    I totally get what you mean about hating "the girl," especially in supernatural types of stories. Autumn isn't my favorite female lead, but I love Matt, haha. He's my favorite in the story.

    Facepalm I didn't know you wrote Angus + Eve! I've been silently reading it for a while and now I feel guilty I haven't commented... which I might go do... right now... XD Small world!

    That sounds good! (: If you submit me your first chapter then I'll check you've got the idea of the layout correct and I'll add you as an author and you can update whenever you like ^-^

    I used to read a lot of Mibba stories about mute people and none of them were too good. So, I guess I've just had low expectations of stories with similar ideas, but I'm really glad I kept reading. Great example of how I can't let my opinions of other writings dictate future ones. Mr. Green

    You don't need to thank me, I meant every word I said. You are an incredibly talented writer, you portray your characters so well with so little words, it's amazing! Not a lot of people are able to do that. Hold on to that :)

    Thanks for the comment on my story "Feles" although I'm not too sure if it was a compliment or an insult, haha. ;)

    I know I'm still not completely familiar with the new Mibba yet either xD Well, I'm hoping it's not against the rules since it's an option! I hope they wouldn't set me up for failure there xD Anyway thanks a million for giving it a try :) <3

    Haha well thanks for deciding to give it a chance! And actually it's a style choice under the layout maker so I don't think it's against the rules if they give you the option. When I type the story up on word it's actually capitalized and then the layout makes it lowercased, I was afraid I would automatically capitalize words and forget to change it when I was editing xP

    It's actually an idea I got after reading Will Grayson will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan. I hated reading the chapters by David Levithan at first because everything was lowercased but then after reading the book I thought it was an interesting idea to try :) Thanks again for giving my story a chance!

    Regarding your comment on my story, I'm actually experimenting with different styles and I'm not capitalizing that story on purpose. I want to use it as another way to help develop the main character's personality and who he is. So, thanks for the comment but I'm going to finish the story first and then maybe go back and change styles back to my usual one if this new one doesn't work out :)
