    Well, that's like the impossible task! Seriously, I'm proud of myself if I can write a novel in a year. See if you can write a novelette and pass it off as a novel.

    A novel is traditionally over 40,000 words. Here is the chart I've been taught to use:

    Short Story: 1,000- 7,500
    Novelette: 7,500- 20,000
    Novella: 20,000- 40,000
    Novel: 40,000+

    Okay, first of all, you have a mac book? Ah, I'm so jealous!

    Secondly, what the crap? That's extremely unfair. Did she say how long it has to be? Is she insisted on the traditional 40k?

    Writer's block is like a disease. You can't make someone run with a broken leg, and you can't make a writer with writer's block write. Why are you so stressed? It's summer! Be happy!

    Mmmm... don't you love parental "encouragement?" My parents haven't even read my last two novels. (Weaving Destinies or Cloaked Samurai) They do read my newspaper articles and the occasional essay, but come to think of it, my parents really don't support my writing at all. They aren't dead-set against it, but I think they're hoping I'll make some "smart" decisions about my life soon. (They [i]really[/i] wanted me to major in math, but now they have this funny idea that I'll get a BA in English and then go to law school.)

    Anyways, a novel isn't something you can force, and it's definitely not something you can crank out in one summer. Honestly, she needs to set some realistic goals if she's going to be setting them at all.

    Aw, thanks. Whether that was true or not, it made me feel better. I have a bunch of self-esteem issues, and although I'm not nearly as bad as I used to be, I still have random moments where I view everything I've written as complete crap.

    Oh, I killed those little -bleep-. I waited around the corner with a flyswatter and a can of wasp-killer, and I attacked! (Then I sprinted inside the house, so I'm not really positive if it worked or not.)

    Yeah, I don't know if I'd be able to read that many chapters at once. Wait, what am I saying, I just finished a 500 page book! Well, it's harder on the computer screen. Asfwert won't be ending any time soon. Hmmm... I don't know. I also felt a little disappointed in myself with Cloaked Samurai. It just didn't... turn out as amazing as I had planned? Whatever. I guess that means I have room to grow.

    Have you read Fox in Socks? It is the biggest tongue twister ever. But I love it! And I love how he makes everything up!

    Yeah, I should, but right now I think I'll focus on Asfwert. The main reason I wanted to move the Cloaked Samurai is because I was one chapter and an epilogue away from finishing anyways.

    Yeah, I kind of wanted to show that although you may think you're in love with someone, you might meet someone else that you fall even deeper in love with. Ugh, that didn't really make sense. Whatever. It's 1:30 am. I don't care.

    I had a rough draft saved on the hard drive of my computer, thankfully. I finally posted it! The first new chapter in months!

    I actually had another chapter that I put up the night before they changed Quizilla. Guess what? It disappeared forever!

    It sort of is, but I was actually going more for As You Like It. Besides, I think it's a bit too... dark to be a Disney movie.
