    Yeah, it's great everyone's back. I was so happy when Max re-joined. If I had to pick sides I'd probably pick Craig's because Ronnie is just... again, I'm sick of hearing him bitch about things that happened like six years ago.

    I've always been a Craig girl, and he's been fairly stable. So I go with him. I mean, Robert's in the band. Max is back. TJ and Thrasher are amazing guitarists.

    Huh. Well I mean, I'm sure everyone was mad when he left. I dunno. At this point I'm not sure who to believe with that band, like I said, they're all being really immature.

    Their interview with AP magazine featuring the lovely Andy on the cover. Apparently Monte was in Craig's ear, advocating Ronnie hate, and Ronnie backs up that Monte and his family drained the soul from the band.

    I haven't even been paying attention to the drama. It's gotten so old and I'm so sick of listening to grown men fight like adolescent girls.

    I didn't hear they started blaming him and stuff, that's too bad... when did all this go down? :(

    I saw your comment on the blog about Monte and I just had to tell you this. I think part of the reason a lot of people moved on is because Ronnie and Craig blamed their fight and a lot of drama on him.

    That's good. I like that with writing, people usually get better the more they do.

    Oh okay. Lol.

    My stuff was alright, I think I executed the story well and my writing style wasn't totally horrible, but I'm definitely way better now than I ever was.

    I've been applying for mom and pop stores, basically. That's all there is around here. I applied to a Dunkin Donuts outside of town but like I said, they didn't want me. I live nowhere near Kansas, haha.

    Yeah, it does get cliche and old... I can't even read my poems from when I was 12/13-15 because it's just so...bad. xD There are a couple exceptions though. I definitely got better as I kept writing.

    Aw, where'd you apply? I would imagine they'd be having seasonal work opening up. Lol, you don't live in Kansas do you? I do, it's not necessarily the middle of nowhere but... I guess it's not too bad.

    Haha. xD I do that sometimes to one of my friends.

    Yeah, I hear you. I know once I move out most of my inspiration is going to be gone.
    It gets cliche after a while, that's for sure. I know when I was 14-15 all of my stories were about self harm because that's what I was dealing with, but after publishing like five stories containing that I just felt like I was beating a dead horse.
    Sounds good. And yeah, I really liked Balcony. Like I said, it reminded me a lot of thoughts I've had before.
    Job hunting? Haha, yeah, not good. I've applied for two jobs and neither of them wanted me, and I'm pretty sure the job I'm applying for now isn't going to want me either. That's a big problem here too, I live out in the middle of nowhere and nobody's hiring. >.<
    I ramble too. I get so lonely sometimes that when someone talks to me I think I bug them with everything I want to talk about xD

    I did research on what the symptoms are and when their time period for showing up is. That way I could better outline chapters. The real key that I've found is that a day can span several chapters as long as significant events occur.

    Yikes! I think the longest I've ever written was about ten chapters and it was left unfinished when I left. :/ And yeah, exactly. I love foreshadowing, even if nobody really catches on. Whenever I read a story where the characters are doing the thing and one of them wakes up in the morning, it's kind of obvious/predictable.

    Yeah, that's the thing though, things aren't exactly great now that I've been home for about…a year and a half and I just started writing again a couple months ago.

    Sadness and unfortunate events do lead to inspiration… I just feel I sort of already said almost everything I could say. Or maybe I'm just tired of dealing with it, I'd rather not deal with it in my writing too.

    Though I do use my writing to describe experiences, Balcony, for instance is all based on first-hand experience/feelings. Speaking of which, I'm thinking of making a first person version of that story just so I can get into the thought process for the character.

    How's the job hunting going/ I need to find a job but don't exactly have transportation aside from the bus. That's a good reason not to have multiple stories. I know I'd be the same way about updating. I'm sort of just waiting for a story to hit me that I just have to tell in chaptered form. I have a couple short ideas though...

    Oh that's good, haha, I tend to ramble a ton.

    No problem. :)

    My longest on Mibba was fifty-eight chapters with a result of ninety-two thousand words. See, the funny thing is, everyone always mentions morning sickness. They skip the backaches, headaches, tenderness, and fatigue. Foreshadowing, people. I need to do a tutorial on how to write longfic. I've figured out some of its secrets.

    Oh god, if you don't add in details for symptoms of pregnancy everyone's going to be on you for that. xD One hundred chapters is a lot. I thought mine was wicked long for having an outline of 40 D:

    I'm still working on an outline for a story that promises to be epic (in all fairness, to pull off the pregnancy, I had to give Tony lots of room to have initial symptoms because God forbid I be one of those people who forgot). It's outlined to one hundred chapters thus far. Yay.

    That would be pretty badass to hold a title like that and be able to say, "Hell yes, I wrote me some damn words!" I'd be so proud of myself I'd even put it on a job resume. :P

    I hear ya. I didn't really get writer's block, I was just constantly struggling with school. I graduated recently and the only thing going on is job hunting, so I've been able to find time to write. That, and my desire for writing and other hobbies has conveniently been incredibly rekindled.

    I do terrible with chaptered stories. I only have one running right now, because I know it's going to be hard to stay passionate with and update on a regular basis. I don't want to have multiple stories to update and multiple people to please (or rather, disappoint) with them. You're right, stress and things going on is a motivator but when things start to look up, the inspiration pool kind of dries up. Happiness is a double edged sword in that way.

    Pfft don't worry about it. I like hearing everyone's story, it's cool. Thank you for checking out my stuff :)
