Damsel of Darkness / Comments

Yep, it's kinda like that movie. But different too. At first, I was just starting it out on a whim, not really having any solid plot. But as the story progress, I can see how I want it to turn out.

The problem with me is that I'm impatient and just want to get to the point already. That's why I always set my word count to be at least 1000++ words. So if it's lower than that, I will re-read my chapter and see which part needs more description and stuff.

Yep! The best thing about co-write is when we're bouncing off ideas and brainstorming for plots. It's so exciting! I'm lucky that all of my co-writers are cool so I don't really have any problems with them. I've heard a lot of people having problems with their co-writes. So... I'm grateful that it doesn't happen to me.

Yeah... it's kinda like that. Louis has a reputation as the bad boy in campus. And the girl he likes, Eleanor, hates him for it. So he wants her to know the real him, not just Louis Tomlinson the bad boy. So he begins approaching her without letting her know his true identity and all. And they become good friends real fast. But he's friendzoned which really sucks and all. I feel sorry for him. And I feel bad for hurting him like that. But I have plans for that story so... he's gonna get hurt for a little while longer.

Setting up a limit is good, actually. It gives you the motivation to get going and not being lazy.

I'd only recently started doing co-writes. I was in a writing slump (before I started updating Lady again ) And when I started co-write, I kinda get my motivation back, you know. And I'd never pressured my co-writers to update either because I know everyone has outside life (probably except me because I'm here all the time. )

As for the story that I update daily, it's because of the writing style that I'm using in that story that makes it easier for me to update daily. I write that story in the simple form of text messages, e-mails, IM chats and notes. So it's very easy-going and laid back. That's the new writing style that I'm trying to explore. Usually, I would try to keep my chapters at least about 1000 words. So that's why other updates take longer.

25 pages per chapter? THAT'S LIKE SO VERY LOOONNNGG!! I can never have enough attention span for that. I kinda envy people who can write long chapters. But I don't want my chapters to be too long because I don't want my readers to get bored, you know.

I have two stories that I'm working on my own, the Lady story and a Louis Tomlinson story. (I'm not gonna include the other three A7X stories because they're currently on hiatus). And I have about three co-writes (two One Direction stories and one an anime fanfiction). And two group writes, both One Direction.

And when I'm listing it out like that only I realize... holy cow! That's a lot!! But as for my group writes, I'm still waiting for my turn. And I'd already updated the anime one so right now I have to update the One Direction co-write and Lady story.

Only the Louis Tomlinson story is the one that I update daily.

Well, it's because the town where I'm studying at doesn't have McD so... And maybe after the currency change and the tax and such. McD is actually expensive here. So to save money, we don't eat that much McD.

I managed to update one of my stories. Right now I'm working on one of my co-written story. And I'll start studying later tonight. I'm supposed to have a study group thing tonight but I just don't feel like going. So maybe I'll skip.

McDonald's? I haven't eaten McDonald's in over a year!

Yep... I agree.

Work on something that you feel like working on, urgent or not. Forcing it will make it turn out bad. The readers can always tell. And it's not good.

Ahh... the talk about food. I'm hungry and still haven't had lunch yet. I wanna eat a little late so I can eat lunch/dinner. I'm broke.

My day is okay, I guess. I just got back from class. And I'm supposed to study for tomorrow's quiz but that can wait until later tonight. I'm a procrastinator but who can blame me when I have mibba to distract me, right?

And maybe I'm gonna update one of my stories.

You're nice.

How is your day?

Yeah... they totally have a soft spot in my heart.

Thank you for your encouragement.

So I most totally got your nice lengthy comment and I just wanted you to know I plan to reply back tomorrow when I get a chance.

For now I wanted to just leave a quick comment and say hi there new buddy :)

That's why I start off by trying to finish the Lady story first. Then probably I'm gonna continue the Johnny and Stella one. Because their story actually only have a few chapters left.

That's cool. Actually I tried doing that. But I got really impatient and started posting anyway.

The Lady story was on hiatus for 6 months before and then I updated again a month ago. And then recently. I really hope I can be consistent with the update. As for the other stories. Ah... they'd been abandoned for a long time!

I really do hope I can get the motivation for those stories back because I really wanna see them end. Like I already have everything planned out, what's gonna happen and how it's gonna end. I just can't get to actually write it down. Except the Brian's one. That story, I kinda just go with the flow.

I can never stop myself from starting a new story no matter how many I have going at the moment. I'm just impatient like that. And I'm not the kind of writer that pre-writes my chapters. I guess that's why my stories always turn out different than how I originally planned them.

Actually, the other stories are set way before the Lady story. And yeah... my favorite is Zacky's and Ashley's story too. And supposedly, that story will reveal why Zacky chooses to become a cop. But I'd never even gotten to that part because I just kinda lost my muse for those stories. Which really sucks.

I have too many on going stories right now but only two are currently active. Well, for my solo stories that is.

I have like three other A7X stories that are on hiatus right now. They're all related to the Lady and Manwhore. It's the story about the rest of the boys. And how they met their significant others.

I tend to comment at I read when I get really excited about the story. But it's fun to comment that way. Because we can point out every little detail that we love about the chapter/story.

Oh, be sure you let me know when you do post it.

Are you kidding me? I LOVE rambling comments because it shows that the readers really enjoy the story, you know. I tend to give rambling comments too.

That is such an amazing coincident. I'm gonna go read that story now.

OH MY GOD! THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL COMMENT ON MY STORY!! YOU JUST MAKE ME A HAPPY WOMAN!!

You make we want to update again. And yeah... Zacky as a cop is just

And I purposely make Annabelle so young. She's 18, by the way, and Matt's like 30 in the story.

So..I did it again haha. I had an influx of comments on my profile, (I feel so popular), and yours got moved to the next page, so there was no hope of me remembering to reply, hahaha. It was lucky that I decided to click to page two just now, for some reason or another, and saw your comment and face palmed for real XD

No, no, it just reminded me that I owed you a reply, haha. I know what you mean, though. I commented on a few blogs the other day, trying to strike up conversations with people outside of the A7X fandom, but I just got totally ignored. Same with a few of the new club threads so I just won't bother in future.

Oh shit! That sucks. I hope you gave him a good earful for standing you up, especially on Valentine's Day! We usually don't do anything for Valentine's Day, purely because we're both lazy and prefer to lounge around the house, haha. That will put pressure on both of you, but I'm glad you've taken a concious effort to step back and try to gel better, if you both have time to yourselves to discover new things, you'll have more to talk about, and that's just as important. I went through a phase where I was seeing mine too much, and we just stopped talking and just missing each other. There's nothing worse than letting everything get on top of you and your relationship. I hope you feel better soon! I've never suffered with depression so I can't even begin to imagine how bad it is, but I'm glad your man is supporting you. And if you ever need some girl time or to rant/moan about him, I'm always here for a chat :) When I remember to reply back! Haha.

Me too, I probably would have cried if I'd lost everything! Haha. When I remember, I back everything up onto a pen drive and to an online account, I'm paranoid of it happening again and I won't be so lucky, next time!

How were the shows?! I watched a youtube video of one at Sydney I think it was, and it looked like an awesome gig! I was very jealous, haha!

I spoke too soon XD That job folded, and I'm back at the salon, but I'm happy. I stuck it out for about two weeks, but it was awful! What they failed to mention was that for the first two weeks it was a temporary trial that I wasn't getting paid for, and after about three days, I was moved into the call centre where I was put on a dialler system and told to cold call random people from the phone book. It was not fun being shouted at all day. So I left, and my mum welcomed me back with open arms, haha. Took me leaving to realise that, even though I don't make much money, I love working there. So yeah, back where I started, but I'm glad I'm there.

It's gotten a lot better, actually. I don't know what happened, but I kind just stopped nagging him so much about it and he's been gradually playing less. We've been going out together more, and just doing nice coupley things, haha. Some days, I just know he's itching to get on there, though. He'll give me the puppy dog eyes and just pout at me until I'm like "Just, go, get on there before I hit you for being so sappy!" But it's all good, yeah, I think we've found a good balance now :D

I'm alright, same shit different day, haha. Hope you're good!

Hello! How have you been? Has your back gotten any better?

My flea sized memory strikes again! Haha. Just saw the blog you posted about people not getting back to you, and I face palmed and thought, oh shit, I forgot again! XD

Did you do anything for Valentines Day? Mine surprised me with a night at the Hilton Hotel :D Then last night we went out for his birthday and got good and drunk XD

Thankfully no, it was lucky because literally the day before I backed everything up onto a USB stick so I had everything I needed on that. Those little drives are life savers!

I'm saving everything I can for Download, it's nearly £150 just for the ticket. My friends want to do the whole weekend cause when are we ever going to go again? which I can understand, but it's so expensive!

Good news on the job front, hopefully! I'm in the middle of a temporary work trial for a marketing company in town. If they like me enough and I do a good job, there'll be a permanent job there for me! I just need to make a good impression haha. I could really do with the money they're offering!

Same here, I find myself trying to hold back on the nagging thing but when I get home from work these days (I'm out of the house for about 10 hours cause of travel) I'd like to be able to spend time with him, not the games console. Men eh?

So, how's life in general? Good I hope!
