Well I've got a lot I'm writing right now, but it always seems to be in the back of my mind expanding on itself so I may one day throw something together. Right now I'm feeling bad for neglecting my Brendon story for so long, but I should be able to start working on it again soon. I hope.
That's [i]exactly[/i] how I saw it! I love how it's the outside looking in and it's so easy for us to see what's going on but she doesn't understand it at all. After I typed it out I realized that in order to hand it in I'd have to put in dialogue and I just sat staring at the screen and was basically like "...my baby, I can't destroy you!" and made up a completely different story. I haven't made may original characters but Lydia was one of the easiest, she was just so clear to me and I knew exactly what she would do. I might expand on that story later or I might just leave it be, I'm not sure yet.
Well I must say that I don't trust the lady over there since she last stole my rolling pin, but I'll take your word for it.
I really liked the black dress one too, I couldn't bring myself to put dialogue in it because I just didn't want to change it. I'm glad you could relate to it, maybe it's just me but I always like it when I can actually relate to a story instead of just being a bystander to it.
>.< I feel really horrid for leaving you high and dry right now, but i dont want to start making excuses and stuff...My intension is NOT to leave you high and dry and you know, dangling from a little dangly string yelling "sasha!!! HALP!"
If you're crazy enough to have a clue what I'm talking about, you really do have super powers. I mean, I pretty much think you're the most super-power-laden person on the entire planet currently... I want superpowers! But until I get some, I'm working slowly on sorting through my brain and your latest email. Keep holding on, darlin. Love.
I thought it was really good, subtle is always better in my opinion. It only gets better? Pft well considering I can't imagine it getting worse I shall believe you... and then sit staring at the ceiling trying to figure out what happens next. I'm so excited for this story, you have no idea. It's so original, right down to her job, and I never know what's going to happen next.
No that's my writer's journal, that stuff doesn't go on mibba. I write my story directly in Word. And don't bother straining your eyes, I do believe that was a strange ramble (there was to little structure for me to be able to call it a story) about the wall in front of me, I tend to write about anything I see when I'm at school. But I just liked the picture, plus it blends well with my layout.
I've always had direction, there was just a stupid wall in the way so I had to make a staircase out of shitty chapters to get by it. But now... it's all good :) Well the hating came about when I wrote a part that I didn't want to use since it was really personal but I couldn't not use it because the story had already developed with that happening so whenever I wrote that was still in the back of my mind and I got all depressed, blerg 'twas horrid. But it's over now so I'm happy :D I've always known the ending to this story, I wrote it ages ago. I just don't know how I'm getting to it exactly, but the basic structure is there.
Mmm yes you are a bit of a slow writer but the thing is, no matter how long it takes for you to write I never have to go over the previous chapter because it's still with me. Pretty well everyone else I always read at least the last couple of sentences to make sure I remember exactly what went on, even people that update way more than you. But feedback is a bit of a drug, I've come to stop expecting it on quizilla and I never expect much over here since I don't update to often. I got way more when I was putting chapters up daily in the summer because people got really into it but now that it's every few weeks I guess it's no longer worthy, but I don't really care since I write for me. I mean it hardly seems rational to me that I'd rush myself to put out chapter for people that I don't even know what they look like when it just makes me disappointed in myself, much better to hold back a bit before sharing.
I can't tell you the e.t.a. because I haven't the faintest idea what that means :s But it's going good, I'm redoing it to switch the point of view since I like it better when it's not in first person since I want everyone to be in the dark about Ellie in as many ways as possible despite the fact that she's the main character. It's a fun story to write because it's the first time I've actually made up a character instead of using real people, plus I'm actually having character development. I also die laughing at the name, the fact that it fits the story so perfectly is awesome, titles worry me a lot, I think I'd have quit Here Comes the Sun by now if I didn't find the title fit it in so many ways to me despite the fact that it probably seems random to others. A lot is done for the new story though, I already wrote the ending and can't wait to start posting it for all to see :D
Oh lord you is a dirty one... but don't worry, I am too.
I really liked the picnic, obviously since I didn't go into detail about what they were talking about there was a lot edited out, but it just made it awkward and wasn't even important so I don't really care. But the instant I finished this chapter it was as if all the chapters that I hated and messed up enough that they changed the direction of the story stopped mattering, they were long enough ago that they have no more say on what happens in the story. I'm back on track to what I want with it and couldn't be more excited! But I'm going to be much more careful and I think I'm going to wait until I have two chapters written until I post, that way I know what I write doesn't screw stuff up.
i know exactly what you mean with the writing thing (ha the 3 month gap...)
things are actually going unbelievably well. school has backed off a little which is nice and the only thing i don't really have is free time, not that i'm complaining.
