    @ Grasshopper.

    I know what you mean. It actually ended up helping me that so many of them were deleted because they weren't very good anyways.

    Oh yeah I remember that. I had some drafts lost but I wasn't affected too much thank God! I cry when I lose my stories, it feels like a part of me is just ripped away and it sucks!

    You're welcome! I'm such a huge fan of Teen Wolf and Stiles and all of the good fan fiction I'm finding is definitely helping with my lack of both of those things. At least it comes back in two days (:

    They really are. I would have responded to this yesterday had my computer stopped being a bitch. But it didn't, so alas, I'm responding now.

    I couldn't agree more. I think the only thing that makes people angrier than when you lie to them is when you tell them the truth. So either way you get screwed. It's a mess, life.

    I'm just so sarcastic that people actually think I'm stupid sometimes

    Computers are so inconsiderate.
    I actually only have myself to blame because I dismiss my alerts instead of replying to the straight away like a sensible person. Then I forget because I have a memory like a sieve.

    Oh that's fine then ;) It's a double-edged sword, because if you don't tell people the truth and only comment behind their back then you're branded a bitch. And if you tell someone something to their face you're also a bitch :/ At Least people know where they stand with you!
    I think I'm more sarcastic, but it's really dry. I get asked on a daily basis if I'm joking. I can't do sarcasm over the internet though. There will always be someone who thinks I'm being a bitch haha.

    I'm absolutely terrible at replying, but mostly because my computer gives me such a hard time with it sometimes!!

    My friends like to say that I'm the meanest of us all, but really I'm not mean, I'm just very blunt and I don't take shit ahha. I can't see you being bitchy! You're so nice!!!!

    I don't know if I mentioned that I suck at replying haha.

    Wait you're a little bitchy in real life? Don't lie to me, you're a sweetheart! Smile
    To be honest, I can be pretty bitchy. Really it's just when I'm at work because I'm surrounded by hair and beauty people. I'm pretty sure they're the worst for it haha.

    I like that one!

    @ archipelago.

    Yeah, most of my characters are really bitchy. I think it's a reflection on how I treat people, which is bot ha good and bad thing haha.

    Exactly! Or like sour patch kids: first it's sour, then it's sweet lmfao

    We must be! Plus I like the fact we're easily pleased haha.

    Oh good haha. It's weird because it feels like a lifetime ago, I just remember I really loved writing that story, it was so much fun. Probably because I made Felicia a real bitch and my females aren't usually like that haha.

    Yeah I think it just threw me. I mean I can handle constructive crit, but there were lines of blue notes under every paragraph. She's since sent me a text to say she reread the email and sorry if any of her feedback sounded harsh, and we haven't mentioned it since haha.
    Exactly though. I think constructive crit should be served like a sandwich :)

    I love Lions Den! You and Erin write wonderfully together :)

    @ archipelago.

    We are obviously spirit animals! We require the same things to make us happy again ahahah!

    That's a good thing! I read it so long ago, but I remember it was so wonderfully done, and when I saw the article you were featured in and that it was listed as one of your works, I freaked!! I had no idea you wrote it!

    I know what you mean about getting deflated, though! It's so hard to take criticism, especially when they don't seem to have any suggestions or point out positives. It seems a little unethical if they don't point out anything good about it, you know?

    I'm glad you like Lions Den, by the way haha. It's definitely my favorite thing ever to write, and that's mostly because I'm writing with Erin!

    Yes! Even when I'm having the worst day ever, if I've got some good whiskey or a slice of pizza (or entire pizza in my case, I can demolish them) then the world becomes a good place again haha. There's a chance that made me sound like an alcoholic or food addict lmfao

    Anytime ;) I don't have any co-writes which is probably for the best because I'd always be forgetting to update haha.
    tehe I did write A Time of Gods! I'm hoping it was a good kind of freak out that you had. I think it's pretty acceptable to not know that because it was written well over a year ago. Sometimes I even forget what I've written in the past baha.

    It was really nice of you though! I obviously saw that comment before I saw this one so I replied on there, but thank you again. I'm calm now haha. Her feedback just seemed a tad excessive at the time. I have made a note of her valid points though. I think she was just typing anything that came in to her head? But I won't be sending her anything else until I'm happier with it anyway. Or maybe just stick to writing on mibba and sharing with my mentor :)

    I'm like 100% sure you just won my heart at whiskey and pizza. Oh my god. Seriously I wish I was kidding when I say those are two of my favorite things this world has to offer.

    Hahaha speaking of co-write with amazing Erin, I have to update that. Thanks for accidentally reminding me. And I just freaked out because I just realized YOU wrote A Time of Gods. I read that like a while ago I just never put two and two together and now I feel dumb?!?

    p.s I just wrote you a dang novel on your blog, sorry lmfao

    Coffee is the love of my life. Well along with whiskey, and pizza baha.
    It's horrible. Like you just don't know what to do with yourself :/

    They just make life easier :) I should probably stop talking about reading and actually do it when I get home tonight. Your co-write with the lovely Erin is on my hit list haha.

    @ archipelago.

    I think I'm going to need some serious coffee today. I don't know why but I'm totally dragging ass. And writers block IS a death sentence. No over dramatizing about it hahaha.

    I actually do too. I feel like searching for stories, I never find what I want. But I always find awesome stories in rec blogs.

    And me! I drank four cups of espresso yesterday and didn't realise until I was all Wow I just kept pouring :/
    Oh good! Writers block feels like a death sentence (not that I'm being overly dramatic or anything haha)

    Baha :) I get all my information from rec blogs because I get too overwhelmed trying to search for stories to read.

    I'd usually be with you on that one. I'm always thinking about the things I could be doing instead of sleeping haha. But I'm babysitting my nephew this weekend and he likes to wake up at 6.30 :/
    Aww are you suffering from the dreaded writers block?
    Aww thank you! In Love I need to check out your stories. I keep seeing them on friends rec blogs. I'm just so behind with life.

    Good because I'm just secretly thinking that's what you were going for.

    I always say sleep is for the weak. Then again, I usually hate myself when I wake up because I'm exhausted. I'm pretty good, just trying to force myself to write. And of course! Your stories are awesome Weird
