I used to only write one-shots too. Now, I try to write one-shots and they end up turning into full blown stories :-) Well, I'm off to watch 'Becoming Jane' :D
True XD I actually didn't write for a whole week...once :P Man, I [i]never[/i] wanna do that again! *giggles* Most of the time I'll just post stuff to see if anyone bites. If I get a ton of interest I'll do my best to update regularly(but, you know, I totally do not stress over updates :D). I really like my imagination it gets inspired by the craziest stuff! Like, right now it's thundering and raining and I got the idea for...well, you'll see ;-)
Yeah, I don't really like the band name either :P I'm totally sucky at naming bands(and songs...I had to come up with another title to the song Vic sings and...yeah, it's not fantastic :P). So, how come I can come up with decent story titles and things and not be good at naming bands? As soon as I get the layout ready I'm posting [i]another[/i] idea for a story(oh Lord, my imagination just needs to stop! :D).
Surprisingly, I'm keeping most of the swearing. Because it does make it real. When I wrote it my goal was to try to keep it as true to life as possible(which is why I like to think people read it) and in everyday life, people cuss. So yeah, swearing stays in. And honestly, I never gave a thought to whether 'Jersey' would make money or not. Does that sound weird? My goal in getting it published is to put something out into the world that will bring enjoyment to others. I want to be able to say I did something with my life and made my tiny little mark :-) Such as it is >.< But yeah, if I make money I'll pay off my car and I might put a downpayment on a little house. Depends, everything is so gosh-darn expensive in Florida :P
Well, my mom doesn't know [i]everything[/i] I write ;-) Otherwise, even at almost 22 years old, she'd probably kick my ass xD And she hasn't read the unedited version. She's getting the 'safe-for-public-comsumption' version :D Yeah, it kind of borke my heart when I had to get rid of the dream sequence but there wasn't, to my mind at least, a way to edit it to get what I wanted out of it...besides, that section was a total smut-fest anyway ;-)
It depends. When I get my agent(chill bumps again :D I'm such a nerd!) they'll market it to different publishing companies and it sort of goes from there. I'm sure you'd be able to order it on-line if nothing else(Amazon we <3 you XD).
Dunno, I'm thinkin' I might just call it 'Love Is' sanz the three dots. I don't think you can copyright just the words like that. I'll have to talk to my agent when I get there...dang! Just got a chill up my spine reading that :-) Yeah, I'm sure all of my readers will feel like that when they get the book in their hands. [i]We all know how the story really goes.[/i] :D The stuff I'm adding in and taking out makes the story a little more...complete, I guess. I'm thinking of lowering Gee's age to about 27 so it's not as startling a difference still going back and forth on that. My mom says not to change it if it's going to take away from the characters(she's my first editor and wants to read it when I'm done :D). I also took out the whole Frank dream sequence. It didn't come across quite how I wanted it to. There were issues I wanted to get through to my readers that at the end of the day didn't come out. And when I had to explain to everyone, even in the second book that she did not cheat with Frankie...it's better just to cut it and let it die. So yeah, it'll be a different read from the original but maybe a bit better :-) The [i]only[/i] reason I'm cutting the sex is because I don't want it to end up the nasty little romance section(you know what I'm saying?). Harlequin romance this is not! It actually has some kind of substance :-) I'll keep you name in mind when I'm renaming Frankie-baby...it's spooky but I was thinking James o.O
Nah, don't feel stupid :D Sometimes I'm totally confusing and I don't realize it :P Names: Brian Andrews and Mia Andrews...oh yeah and don't forget Alex(formerly Gee-bear XD). And I actually have never read the Pretties(did I pirate a line from there and not know it?). Figures...I found I might have to change the title of 'Love Is...' because there's this mini comic that some sweedish chick wrote to her boyfriend a long ass time ago(and got it published) and that's the exact title of it, 'Love Is...' Bleah :P
Ummm, mostly Gerard. But I'm finished the first chapter, but it's short. I didn't realize it would be that short. It seriously looked longer when it was on a piece of paper! I need to make a mental note on that. lol.
ummm, I'm posting my first ever chapter!!! I'm so happy for me. lol. but yeah, I'm still bored. =[ . OHHH....I'm listening to 89x. That counts as something.
