I have a problem.Like, don't get me wrong, I love everything I write. I don't write anything unless I have a sincere interest in what I'm writing.However, I digress. I have a problem: I have way too many ideas for stories and not enough time or motivation to write any of them. It's as if they all play out as movies in my head, and then I just have to write them down and have them heard because...

Yo!So I'm doing a kind of weird sort of comment swap with my story Deal. Right now, it has a prologue and four chapters. And as much as I'd love it if you'd read all five parts that are up right now, I also know that that's also asking you to read like, 10,000 words. Which is a lot to expect out of a comment swap.So! All I'm asking is that you read the prologue (just for a bit of exposition) and...

...of writing a story. Like, honestly.With my story, currently named The Deal, I have been having that problem. The original title of the story was Let's Make a Deal, but I just...stopped liking it. I think it's because I started finding it sounds too young and less serious, and while the story is supposed to be more light-hearted, I don't want it to be considered young.So, like, I need help.I...

In my new story Let's Make a Deal, I found a lot of inspiration in real-life events happening around me, or even to me. I don't want to go into detail about them right now for anyone that's reading the story, but a lot of the things that happen in there are based off things I know of/live first hand.All the time, I would hear people say that they think it's annoying when authors self-insert...

Some people sleep with a teddy bear. Others sleep with a blanket.I sleep with both of those things. And also snuggle up with a notebook, a pen, and my iPod.Ever since I started writing - Oh lord, maybe 9 years ago? (Has it really been that long? Well then) - I had the uncanny ability that probably every other writer has of dreaming about her characters. I can remember clear as a fifth grader,...

I just posted the prologue to my new story Let's Make a Deal.Now, before you press that Back button and think, "Oh, she's just shamelessly reccing her own story," let me preface it with this: this journal is not to get you to read my story. I'm not looking for comments or subscribers or readers or recs. Not one bit. And that's a first for me, or at least a first in a long, long time.No, this...

And I feel like I've done a lot of that recently.I'm not going to get into a lot of details about it, but the person I am now is completely and utterly different from who I was a year ago. Six months ago even!My parents used to always talk about how shy and nervous I was. I was that cute little blond-haired blue-eyed girl who legitimately cried when people laughed to hard (or made any loud noises...

Indie music.A boy I've been talking to - and who is actually the inspiration for a character in my new story - introduced me (kind of) to "indie music".Now, let me preface this by saying I listen to every kind of music there is. Country, rock, pop, alternative, classical, broadway, you name it - I listen to it. However, because I don't discriminate by music genre, I tend to not know 100% what...

Hey everyone!So this blog is focused entirely on your (the readers!) preferences in a story on here. Specifically, I'm wondering about the preferred chapter length.So far for my upcoming story, I have a prologue and two chapters written (though very roughly). The prologue is fairly short (~275 words), and the two chapters are around 2,000 words each. While the prologue probably won't change much...

That's why I disappeared after being on here saying I wouldn't disappear. Funny how these things happen.But! On that note, I'm a certified bartender now! Sadly, not many places are hiring bartenders, especially those who don't have any actual experience behind a bar. Which sucks. Like, big time. However, either way I loved taking the class and it's actually provoked me to make my own signature...

So in the day that I have resurfaced on here, it has come to my attention how... unpopulated this writing website has become. That makes me very sad. I remember when I was lucky to have my story or journal on the front page for 10 minutes; now, it seems as though barely anyone is posting.And that makes me sad.So! In an effort to do my effort to busy this place up, I'm going to try to get on here...

Second journal of the day! Woo!So I've been on and off this site today for the first time in over a year, and I've noticed so many changes. One of the saddest is the departure of so many Mibbians I used to know and talk to, and whom I just recognized because we were all always present and posting. And I mean, I've been on and off this site since like, 2010 so I've met a thousand of different...

Gosh, I haven't been on here in years. Well, it feels like that long; I doubt anyone even remembers me anymore. How is everyone?Anyway - the point of this journal is to talk about my new story idea! It's called Let's Make a Deal, and so far I have a bit of a summary up but that's it. I'd really appreciate it if someone would look at it and tell me if it looks like a worthwhile idea, and if you...

Judging how I am actually like this idea a lot, I think I'll give it some attention before I get much of it up.I know it's not much to comment on, but I would like you to comment on the summary and/or layout and/or anything about the story that you see fit. It does not have a first chapter, and while I don't mind if you give me your 20-chapter story in return, I will probably only read the first...

I've written my boyfriend a few stories in the past and he's been begging me for another one. However, to spice it up, for his graduation present I'm writing him "Open When..." letters. One of these letters is a "Open When You Need To Know How Much I Love You". I wrote this one first and so, while editting, I realize that I made the first paragraph the sappiest thing ever. This is what I wrote:I...

Birthday Idea:That's my idea for my boyfriends birthday present, or at least part of it.The two of us have been inseparable for almost a year now. We spoke for the first time on June 23rd and never stopped since then. His birthday is August 2nd and last year - having not known him well - I was only able to take us out for ice cream.For Christmas, I wrote him a 20 page story about the few months...

I'm thinking about reinventing myself on here.And by that, I mean deleting most of my old content and starting fresh, with new stories and such. I remember back in the day - four or five years ago to be exact - when I first joined this website. Those days, when I didn't have monstrous amounts of homework, work, a boyfriend, and just... plans I guess. It was in those days that I was my most...

But I couldn't tell you why.I don't really care too much when I see like, my family or something drinking. Actually, I find my dad kind of funny when he drinks. What bothers me is my boyfriend, who while he doesn't drink all that much at all, likes going to "those" parties and gets pretty drunk whenever he does. And it really just... upsets me. Every time I think about it, it makes me start...

I'm getting him a lot of things, but, as I posted about awhile ago, one of the big things is I'm writing him a story about when we met up to know, going over some of the bigger events in our four-five month relationship. Now, I don't know if I want to set it up as a full out story, however I do want someone, or someones, to just read the chapters I'm writing and give me an opinion, and also check...

For nearly a month (yes, a month! I've been thinking about it too much, too early! XD), I have been trying and failing to think of the perfect gift for my boyfriend of.... some amount of time. And don't find that last bit insensitive, we've been together since about the end of July, but we weren't "official" until September 19th. So we've been together 3-4 months approximately.Anyway. See, I...
