Why the freakin heck can't you ever be on when I'm on Bre?? GOING INSANE RIGHT NOW. Yesh. INSANE. if you could just answer one little question for me: yes, or no?


Ok, beyond that little comment, I am doing stupendiously well. Well not really. But I'm definitely not doing bad right now!
I just finished chapter 10 with my re-write and I'm oh so very happy. Words can not express. <3

I have officially, ten chapters of rewrite. With no gaps. Man I amaze myself. How did I do it? I really don't know. Ha. And I really don't know how I will ever finish the rest of it. I have 16 chapters left I think...sigh.

I have just realized (After deleting all twilight communitys from my flist) that I need to make/find new icons. They are all Twilight related and frankly I'm just sick of the whole fandom. I'm thinkin I should make some writer-ish icons....yes that sounds nice. When I get free time I think that's what I'll do :)

Edited to say: I forgot to tell you but I reached 50k on the rewrite :) ten chapters and 50,000 words. Yippee!

Sooooooo guess what?

Well, you see, I still don't have my harddrive and I'm kinda going crazy. Though it's a sad crazy, it's depressing. Cause like I'll just sit with my laptop on my lap and stare at it. I don't even have my music to listen to, to jump start my creative juices. I guess I could go track down all my music . . . but I really don't have the energy. So I just sit and stare. And wish I could think of something to say. I haven't hung out with my friends in a long time. (My characters) Because that's what they are! They're my friends and it's like they're on summer vacation in Alaska and they haven't talked to me since they've been gone. . . or maybe it's like I've been in Alaska and I haven't talked to them in months. I wonder if they've been trying to contact me and my brain is so dead I can't even hear them.
What if I never hear them again? O_O. What if . . . I'm done with writing. . . ok that couldn't happen. But. . .but . . . oh I don't know.
I've fallen out of the twilight fandom I think, I'm excited still but I haven't kept up with anything lately, ever since the crash. I'm not really in any fandom right now . . . it's kinda weird. Wow I just realized I wasn't in a fandom! Ah! I'm not an active member in ANYTHING right now! Maybe a break is good, but I just feel hollow, no joke people, in all those books and movies you really can feel hollow lol.
And I really want another kitty, I had no idea my cat was such a HUGE part of my life. I knew he was a big part, but since he's been gone it's crazy! We only have one cat left (my sisters) and he's a total brat, he doesn't like to be held, he bites if you don't give him attention, he doesn't know how to play without scratching and biting you up and he meows about everything!! He's so annoying. I call him bratface lol. But I really need another kitty, I still tear up about it. Especially when I see bratface or hear him. He doesn't even sound cute. Bluck.
What a depressing entry! I didn't mean to do that. And I feel bad because I haven't really kept up with LJ at all since the crash either . . .
Has anyone heard Jacob's Dream by alison krauss? It's so chilling! Just throwing that out there, I'm sure I've mentioned it before to some of you, but it really is worth hearing once. Even if you don't like folk music.
More depressingness . . . oops.
Ok, so good news is, somehow I've reached 41k in the second draft of MDN!

Idc that this post is boring.

Spider Monkey Pink
Mk, so I need to write about whats been happening these past two weeks because I have failed amazingly at keeping a journal through disasters.

1) My harddrive crashed and nothing was backed up. (except for some writing files way back in Nov 07)

2) This means, well over 100,000 words have been lost.

3) This also means 70GBs of pictures, music and videos are gone too. (Including all of my photoshop supplies)

4) I've gotten a job. I hate it. (Plus it's only part time and I have a crappy spaztic schedule--on call for more then half of it at that!)

5) I got a new phone, and something happen and I lost all my phone numbers. So I called the sales person and he told me to do something and I got into a security thing and a stupid PIN thing popped up and well, after 3 tries at the PIN it locked up on itself. So I have no phone at the moment.

6) I had to shell out what meager money I had scraped together from the part-time-mostly-only-on call-job to buy a brand new Internal harddrive and a brand new External harddrive.

7) And that set me back MAJORLY for the whole buying a car thing.

8) Camp Rock sucked and I was really disappointed. Really. Like really.

9) My two-est best-est funn-est writer/internet friends are both at camp :(

Now for the good news
1) I got Jonas Brother tickets and I think I might die from excitement.

2) I got a writing desk and it's amazing (only 20 bucks too!), it's like an old style desk that has a roller cover thingy, except mine doesn't have the roller cover thingy, but it's just like that.

3) I have internet again!!! Yay! (Due to the new harddrives, therefore that means yayz for macbooks and the airport!)

4) Did I mention the tickets? Cuz I'm waaaaayyyy too excited about going and I'm convinced that Nick Jonas is going to call me out *cough*waaayyy in the back*cough*
and propose to me. (((((We is not going to acknowledge the age gap that technically is against the law)))))) . . . (((We is also not mentioning how creepy that is . . .)))

5) I saw STOMP! on stage and it was the most wonderful show I've ever seen in my entire life. Like, it tops my favorite movie and cd. It was that good. I could watch it every day, all day. And when I got tired of that, then I would join the cast.

6) It's almost August, and lots of stuffs comes out in the month. Coolness.

7) I found a writing partner!!!!!! AND she lives like, actually, not in another state! Lol. I'm uber excited to talk writer and book with her(in person) ^_^

8) Yea, did I mention becoming Mrs Jonas? Heh, because I'm pretty sure this is wrong. Just wrong. (But so nice) ((And btw, for those of you who remember the NaNoWriMo beserk-o ILOVETHEJONASBROTHERS thing, and then I was sick of them, and now I love them again, yea well, it's all my friends fault. She brought it back. ALL HER FAULT. Because I was totally cured of this. I totally was.))

Screnzy
I made it. I did it. Omg I did NOT think I was going to make it. That was one of the dumbest ideas I've ever had, to join Screnzy, but half way in, when I really,really,really just wanted to quit, I didn't. And now I can brag. Yeah, that's right, I'm only here to brag. And I don't care if noone reads this, because I just have to write this for myself. *halfheartedly throws confetti* yay. . . . *keels over*

Ugh, but wait, I can't afford to keel over, I have not one, but TWO books to write. One to edit and one to write geez. . . . at least I can focus on them now :P. BTW, the Certificate is AWESOME. It really is amazing how much a little piece of paper can make you feel worlds better ^_^

Shadow of the Past

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
nerd html
The shadow of the past has come to haunt me. It's happening again, just like it did ten years ago.

Not one of those freaky Groundhog Day movies, and not like one of those corny Christmas movies where the day repeats until the kid realizes what Christmas is really about. No, it's not like any of those screwed up human ideas.

Think of your worst memory right now, what do you see? Do you shudder to think about it? Cringe? What if you had to re-live that family death again? Or the surgery that terrified you?
Could you do it?
I don't have a choice, the shadow is already here and ready to pummel.
Maybe if I wouldn't have pissed him off he'd leave me alone. Being immortal is something worth having though. . . . Sometimes pissing off the shadows is worth it, sometimes it works out. Like my sister for example, she got away with it and look at her now! And my mom, and dad, and brother, they all did it.
So why did I get stuck here? Why didn't it work? Why am I still sitting here ten years later scraping the clay off the walls trying to escape?

The Cullen Family

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

If only you guys could hear me, it's not as bad now, but just a few seconds ago...man. So, the big news is that the Cullen family for the Twilight movie have finally taken pictures together for a press release. I had NO idea that anything like this would be coming, I was just happy about seeing WHO was being cast. I'm so excited right now...so very,very excited.
I think they all look fantastic! (minus funky Jasper/Alice hair and Emmett doesn't look quite what I pictured from his casting picture but other then that...)
Oh my goodness, EDWARD looks AMAZING. I'll admit, I had my doubts about him, I really did. I didn't like him at all actually but I just kept telling myself 'as long as he can act' but now he really looks the part ^_^

ok-I can't upload a picture b/c photobucket is being a booty, but I can point in the right direction because I've just GOT TO SHARE THIS WONDERFUL NEWS!!!

Writer Questions!!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
nerd html
Thanks to Alicia for e-mailing it to me ;)

1. How old were you when you started writing?
Hmm, well when I was like Five I wrote a series of short stories about my cat ;p and that's about all the actual writing I did until I was Seventeen. BUT, back when I thought books and writing were icky I was unconsciously writing stories (or rather FanFic) in my head since, for as far back as I remember.

2. How long have you been writing?
Like serious writing, a little over a year.

3. What form of writing do you practice?
Omg, all fiction. I can't handle poems or nonfiction x_x

4. What kind of topics do you like writing about?
Fantasy, almost everything is fantasy. Always some sort of romance in EVERYTHING I write XD. and I'm obsessed with medieval times.

5. What is one recurring theme/object/character in your writing?
Oh, dear, I seem to always use the same names for all the extras, you don't even know how many Becky's/Ben's/Kevin/Alice's I have *facepalm*

6. How long is the longest piece of writing you've written?
Ahem, well, uh, I have like over 200k on this one project...but it's not all *actual* scenes, it's a lot of notes and stuffs. So that doesn't really count. So I'll say 100k on my NaNo.

7. Ever gotten published? If so, where? How?
HAHAHAHAHA!!! oh wait, were you serious?

8. Best piece of writing && describe.
My NaNo, cuz it's actually a complete rough draft!!!! AHH!! I did it for once! :D

9. Ever done a WriMo? If so, word count, won/lost, how's it changed your life?
NaNoWriMo 07, and yes I won, I thought I was going to collapse though, no seriously that was like...so hard. And it changed my life cuz it showed me I'm capable of writing outside of just notes X)~

10. Ever co-authored a story? With whom? How was it?
My very first one is happening RIGHT NOW!! EEK! And it's going splendidly

11. Give us a word.
Maladroit (one of my favorite words)
I don't want to overrun your friends pages (there's only 9 more)! )

January 8th, 2008

I know I just posted, but I was excited!!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
nerd html

Ok, first of all I got the soundtrack to The Fellowship of the Ring in the mail today!! I was so excited because I have been wanting this CD for a reallllyyyy long time. And I finally was able to buy it online ^_^ 

Secondly, I don't know if I told you guys about my discovery  for Robin Hood on BBC but it's pretty much amazing. (minus the crappy,horrible,stupid end to season two that is!!) Anyways, we'll not get into that because it could get ugly *insert icon I found about burying RH writers alive* (cuz I can't actually insert it cuz it's on my mac. grr). I was watching an episode from the first season the other day with my family and it was perfectly lovely so I'm excited to continue with the first season.

Thirdly, Uh, did I tell you about my Laptop cord? (this isn't good news but it's news nonetheless) well, it got a hole in the charge cord thing some how and the hole has gotten bigger, and it's a burn hole...weird right? Anways it doesn't work at all now, and I shouldn't try to get it to work I know, cuz it could be dangerous/blow up my comp. Yadda,yadda,yadda. Hopefully I'll be getting a new cord soon tho b/c The day after it broke I had the most amazing idea for a story and I need to flesh it out on my comp! (Now I'm sure you're wondering why I wouldn't just do it on the comp I'm using now, but the answer to that is that I don't like this computer and it's in a busy area of the house so I can't concentrate)

Fourthly, I finished the titles for my books chapters finally!! And that's the main reason I'm here right now, b/c I was just so excited that I got that accomplished :D I know I won't be able to use them in the "Real" book cuz so much is gonna have to be cut but when I print it (which will be soon) It'll be nice to have. I can't wait to print it so I can physically hold it and use a red pen on it (I've never had the chance to print out a story and use the red pen, how exciting! ) 
So here's the chapter titles instead of a random quote 

 

Chapter One - Welcome to Minnesota
Chapter Two - Blending In
Chapter Three - Hello Dolly!
Chapter Four - Bubble-headed Tigers
Chapter Five - Captain Horror
Chapter Six - The Fairy Kingdom
Chapter Seven - Little Miss Fairy Spy
Chapter Eight - Annual Prince
Chapter Nine - The Bedroom
Chapter Ten - Finding Neverland
Chapter Eleven - The Fire in Winter
Chapter Twelve - Vile Vial
Chapter Thirteen - Meeting the Jones
Chapter Fourteen - Holy Taleeto Batman!
Chapter Fifteen - This is what happens during NaNoWriMo
Chapter Sixteen - Chicken Fingers or Fish Sticks? That is the question.
Chapter Seventeen - The Great Prophet 
Chapter Eighteen - Singing Lessons
Chapter Nineteen - Toby...Jonas? 
Chapter Twenty - The Breaking of the Fellowship
Chapter Twenty-one - "Twoo Luv"
Chapter Twenty-two - Tunnel Confession
Chapter Twenty-three - How to break a Curse 101
Chapter Twenty-four - Bits of Glossy Sheen, Blood, Black Magic, and Various Other Boring Things.
Chapter Twenty-five - Wings?
Chapter Twenty-six - Kiss of Death
Chapter Twenty-seven - A Demonic Grin is all it takes
Chapter Twenty-eight - Imagination
Chapter Twenty-nine - Train of Exile
Chapter Thirty - New York

 I love how you would think it's about one thing, but then it's not. Well, I mean some of them are exactly what you'd think but some aren't, which I think that's how chapter titles should be. That way they don't give anything major away.

I stole this from elvenflutist's journal

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common, and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me, and I thank you for your interest in my words.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...they enjoy the savory aroma of monkey brains a la mode."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear.

And if you cross-post this in your own journal, let me know so I can reply to you there.

oh and PS, this is for you elvenflutist, I mentioned Kelly Ripa in my comment on your journal and I didn't even notice that you put Regis and Kelly as your music until after I posted my comment, I just thought that was funny...well not funny has in laugh out loud, well not really creepy either, more like a weird cawink-ee-dink

oh poppy, I nearly forgot my random quote!! anyways here it is

"You've got to look the part.“
And then Toby actually looked at me, his face broke into a huge smile and I took his hand taking him to Becky's room, "Come on.“ I said jerking my head.
"Be right back Tyler!“ He hollered as we went into Becky's room.
"Aw, what are you doing Toby, thats against the rules! You can't abandoned me for the girls. Bluck!“
Toby chuckled.
Tyler stomped towards us in a huff.
"Where are you goin’'?“
"I'm the only one without war paint here.“

there was this giant elephant and he was trying to eat me. And then when I was finally able to get away I called the police, and they told me that I was crazy for saying an elephant was trying to eat me.
So, here I am now, inside the belly of an elephant,wishing that I could have some company.

I don't like the end of the year. It makes me sad for some reason. And I don't actually "like" the year until it's about half way over. Go figure. And then there's that stupid song that sounds so depressing and the worlds ending. I'm most DEFINITELY changing the channel before that song comes on!
So, what I'll probably do will be this, Watch the new years show hosted by dick clark or w/e, get my Jonas Brother fix, turn the TV off and go read a book or something.
But you know what? I really feel like writing but there isn't anything to write! I'm done with my first draft of my NaNo and I don't feel like doing Callia Lovel yet and ....so there's nothing to write. blah.

Well here's a random quote from my book, seeing how well the last one did I just had to post another one. blah. anyways, I don't care. So here it is.


"I see I'm interrupting the newlyweds honey moon.” He said grinning.
I scowled at him and walked over to the bed, I crawled up and got under the covers covering my legs.
Rob sat down at my feet and crossed his arms.
"So, you forgot did you?” Rob asked.
Jesse's smile fell instantly.
"You could have cost the kingdom a king with your tardiness.”

ROTFLOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! what a scene randomly find! *busts out laughing* yup, that's me, little miss R rated. ^_^ well, ok so that scene doesn't say anything, but you've got to be wondering what this scene is from...

Christmas!! And my book quote of the day and randomness

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
jacob black for christmas

It's Christmas Eve, I honestly don't know where the time went. It seems like yesterday that I was doing NaNo.
Ok, not really. It seems lie ages ago that I was doing NaNo, but I can't believe the year is nearly over.
I've been semi editing my book, (capitalizing stuff, correcting typo's, fixing comma's, etc) I'm not really editing the book just getting it ready to print. I'm on chapter 29 of 30 so I'm VERY excited. Almost done! ^_^
I've noticed that a lot of my chapters are shorter then I thought, but it's all good. I like shortish chapters for some reason. And of course I do have some long one's. Anyways.
Merry Christmas!!!!

OMG, I saw the most amazing video EVER today! I'm not even kidding you, BEST EVER. Go over to Youtube and search "Happy dance project" right now! RIGHT NOW. Yes, stop reading my post and go watch it. ... And then come back and finish reading my post lol.

Ok, you back? Ok good. Wasn't that AMAZING, that video is oozing with awesome. (Any fellow Nerdfighters here?) That video made my year. I've watched like three times because it makes me so happy. Makes me want to dance like a mad woman.

On to the quote of the day. (Thanks to Falin's brilliant idea!) I'll try really hard to actually use the first quote I find, here goes *skips off*

*is back*
I literally did leave you for a second, I hope you know that. Haha.


Amber's quote of the day 12-24-07 thirteen and a half hours til christmas morning.

Greg kept watching me and then Jesse, he looked a little nervous. I glanced over at Jesse just to make sure he wasn't making a face at Greg.
He was just looking around the room absently, smiling and popping skittles in his mouth. He caught my eye and grinned. "Hi.”
"Is he...?”
"No. Nothing's wrong with him. Well it's questionable sometimes but really he's just really hyper. ADD.”
"Oh.”
"Well, thanks for the directions.”
"No problem. See you two at the concert!” He waved as I back stepped.
"Oh, no I'm not bringing him.”
He chuckled and Jesse threw a skittle at him. "Stop it!” I growled. But Greg caught it in his mouth and pumped his fists. Jesse stopped walking. “Stupid nerdbuckets.” he mumbled.
"Stupid what?” I asked guiding him down the hall.
"Nerdbuckets.”
"What’s that?”


Ok, so it's a little longer then Bree's Falin's but I really did do it random, opened the document scrolled down and up with my eyes open and then highlighted something and opened my eyes. So TaDa! What does that say about my book?

I like cat's theres one beside me right now. She's adorable, my aunt's calico cat named Ollie. ^_^
There's the random post of the day hope you enjoyed it.
Hope ya'll enjoyed the colored font as well, (did this post on my auntie's comp :) )

December 7th, 2007

and here's where the exciting part comes--

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
jacob black for christmas
Ladies and Gentlemen! ...err, ok more like Ladies and Ladies cuz I don't think I have any gentlemen around here...anyways,
I have an announcement to make! it's a doosy.
I'm giving you a treat today.
This has nothing to do with NaNo or writing at all actually, and I won't even tell you about my liquid brain problem, nope not a one of those things is going to appear in this post! (ok, I guess it's a little late for that)
Today's journal entry comes in five different parts!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!! (I actually added those <-- {the ones} on purpose cuz it makes it seem more exciting or something...)

I'l here to tell you about not 1, not 2, NOT 3, but FOUR books I've read!!
Ok not really, but I will tell you about two of them.

The first one is a series but I'm counting it as one, it's
Midnighters by Scott Westerfeld
and it's pretty awesome, I won't lie. Did you ever know there were 25 hours in a day? Yea, didn't think so, well there are, there's a secret hour that happens at midnight. Very few can see it tho, only those lucky enough to have been born at precisely the second the clock chimes midnight are allowed into the secret hour. It all takes place in Bixby Oklahoma, five kids (ok teenagers w/e) Rex,Melissa,Dess,Jonathan and Jess can see this secret hour. they each have a talent within the hour, one is a seer, a mindcaster, an acrobat, a polymath and a firebringer. ok, interesting enough, and then throw in a couple darklings and you've got yourself a genuine party! lol, it's really a fast paced book(series) I'm on the final book right now...

Numba two,
Beastly by Alex Flinn
oh goodness I finally got my hands on it!! I spotted this book way back like, in February or something, and I've been waiting impatiently until it came out in Oct. and then another month for my library to get it! (jeez)
it's yet another retelling of Beauty and the Beast but this time it's from the Beast's POV. and it's in our time instead of way back when. SO, you can imagine my excitement (ok you probably can't lol but w/e).
It was...ok. I didn't like all the modern day references (such as the Wii and Xbox) but it wasn't too bad, the author clearly tried to get into today's average teenage head and managed to pull it off most of the time. but of course there were sometimes where I just wanted to slap something in "I-can't-believe-he-just-said-that" moments but it was all good.
a couple plot holes and cheesyness but it was oh so adorable! (who doesn't like the idea of waltzing around in a pretty old fashion dress with the guy you like? or how about watching Princess Bride during a thunder storm?) yea, who can resist THAT?

ok, on to point Number THREE
Enchanted
(the movie)
OK, who's seen it?? who? anyone? I doubt it...
I haven't seen the movie myself actually, I'm dying to and I think I can go Monday, we'll see.
anyways, this movie looks adorable, I've watched some songs on youtube and it really looks like it has potential to become another Disney classic ^_^

Number 4
(wow three was short...)
who likes Cream Cheeese?! ME!!!!!! lol, total random-my mom just came in an asked if I wanted to lick the wrapper...and of course I said yes-

Number five
oh wait, there is no number five *palmface* oops. ok so that's all I guess...I really wish I could make it all different colors and stuffs cuz thats fun and pretty and superfantasticawesome but I can't do that when I use my Macbook *pout* oh well, just know that this was supposed to be all pretty and fantastical (just use your imagination)

yup, ok, so I crossed over to the big 37K tonight. it feels pretty nice actually. like way nice. and I can tell you even MORE good news. I can promise you that by tomorrow I'll be in the 40k's !!!! yay!!
so here's an update,
Rob's disappeared from the plot (ok not really but geez, i haven't seen him in a couple days!) Colleen has run away with Toby(because he told her about the curse and now they have to go break it) Toby, ran away with Colleen and took her to an old forest where he told her to tie him up to a tree (instructed her to tie an unreversible knot too I might add) and told Colleen she had to kill him as soon as he changed(that was how to break the curse,well it had to be his true love killing him but anyways). Toby morphed into the half hawk man thing that he is (only on new moons) and she failed in stabbing him when this FIRST happened b/c she got scared/panicked, she dropped the dagger...*sigh* of course she dropped it right at his feet too.
Toby's spittin' and growlin' and snortin' like a demon possessed thing and swearing to kill her. Colleen gets up the nerve to retrieve the dagger and the tree groans. OH SNAP. Toby gets loose, she runs like the very devil is at her heels, he catches her, shatters a wrist and then STAB! she kills him dead. but oh, wait, oops, he didn't come back like he said he would. *sob* ha, jk, couldn't kill ol' Toby off like that now could we? after sleeping beside his dead body she wakes up and thinks she's hallucinating,she talks all crazy to him.

Jesse, the court jester, goes to school with Colleen one day and they see a group of nerds selling tickets for a fundraiser concert...and who's playing at the concert? guess! oh yes, it's the bubble-headed tigers. W00T love those guys! ...(yea, it was late...and i was in the middle of a word war...) Jesse is crazy as usual throwing skittles and laughing loudly.

Toby runs into Colleens room dressed as batman and grabs Colleen and takes her to the closet covering her mouth and telling her there's evil around. "spiderman" and a pirates show up and kidnap Colleen. the REAL batman shows up when the pirates turns out to NOT be Toby's friend. the pirate was really the joker (jim carey joker fyi) and they found that out scooby-doo style pulling off the face mask...

Colleen gets a letter from a friend back home (in the fairy world) and her friend is freaking out cause she found out Colleen was spying a human boy (Toby) and found out that Colleen thought she was in "love" with this boy. yea right w/e, not possible! and then she told Colleen that she was engaged to one of Colleen's older brothers. (Colleen had no clue and was upset cuz her friend basically said "oh yea did i tell you i'm going to marry your brother?" and then went on with the letter) and that made Colleen mad b/c she knew they didn't like each other.
(you could say Colleens out to prove to the world that love really does exist? haha sounds so corny but I just realized that, that was true! )

AH, it all makes so much sense ^_^.

ok so it doesn't. those don't go together, the Toby scene is one of the last scenes, Jesse's scene is before Colleen even met Toby, the batman scene is somewhere inbetween, and the letter scene is somewhere before he batman scene. (and the batman scene was a dare btw)
TA DA. and there's my 37k update post.
oh, wait. and did I tell you that I showed my mom some clips from my book? yea well I did, it was the first time EVER that she'd read anything I'd wrote and it was so nerve raking. omg, she didn't say hardly anything and i kept asking her "what? what's so funny? why are you smiling? what are you reading?" or "if you're lost ask me, comments, thoughts,what was your favorite part and why." and she didn't really answer, you see, she doesn't read much, and the only thing she writes are e-mails. lets just say that she's the worst crit in the whole entire world lol. all she really said was that she liked it and wanted to read the whole thing, she didn't like how it was various clips from the story. "i want to read it all." yea w/e, like thats gonna happen! HA! have i told you that i'm a closet romance addict? guess not, so that means no one knows, and that means that everyone thinks i don't like romance at all...and that means that what are ppl gonna think when they read my book???? *panic* i can't even think about that right now, i seriously panic.
have i ever told you that i've never had a bf? yea, never had one, thats me. have i ever told you that i've never had a good guy friend?
goodness what if she did read it? what in the world is she going to think when she reads that part where blank kisses blank in the forest!?
(incase you're wondering, i was very careful of what i showed her. VERY careful, lol.) I'm just scared of what'll happen if ppl know ...it's like the world might fall off it's axis or WORSE she might even want to watch gushy romance movies with me BLUCK!
ok wow, didn't mean for that to go so long. teehee.
toodles!

WHEEEEEEE!!!
it started!!
so I don't kno if I told ya'll but I'm shootin' for 100k.
that means that I have to write 3334 words a day. I think I can handle it.
so, last night I made it to 5k and felt pretty good. I was getting bored writing and decided I should call it a night.
I got on the boards just for the heck of it,one to check up on my writing buddies and two, too see what the highest word count was yet (for the whole site) so after lookin at my buddies and seeing that only two of them had written anything I was feeling just a wee bit ahead of the game. lets just say it put a smile on my face.
so I skipped off to the boards and found 20k shout outs. WTC!? 20k? already? why didn't I think of this? I could soo pull THAT off. hmm too bad I'm done for the night, so I read the comments, only a handful of ppl had made it to 20k and the rest of the comments were comgrats and etc. well, maybe I'll work TOMORROW on getting 20k. this story is just too boring for me right now.
I exit the 20k shoutouts and see 10k shoutouts...hmm. there's more ppl that made it to 10k.
7k shout outs...even MORE ppl made it to 7k.
my bubble has officially been popped. reaching 5k isn't all that great anymore.
so what do I do?
I sit there and ponder for about half a minute. "why am I going to bed? I'm not tired at all, and it's only 1."
I jump out of chair feeling immensely jealous of the 20k ppl. "I'm going to write straight on through dawn until I reach 20k my golly!" I march into the kitchen and grab a big red(man that soda's good) and some candy(peanut M'Ms) and go back to my room.
I sit down and turn on my NaNo playlist full blast and type away until I feel like I've reached a good number.
"time to check the word count! yay. I wonder how far I've written..."
6642...what? thats it? ugh.
it was a struggle to pass 7500. I barely made it, it was awful. lol. 30% complete rambling and utterly incoherent.
oh well... so I try to keep going and by this time my eye's hurt and I'm fighting just to keep them open. I glance at the clock and it's almost 3. crap.
I close down my document at 7712 word count and sulk back over to the boards trying to find some sympathy for feeling little and feeble at 7k. there's not much, and guess what I found while looking for a place to whine? I found someone who had 39k word count!!!! ARGH!!!! I want to be apart of the 20k club! it won't be special or wonderful unless I reach it in record time, ya kno? after the first week the cool 20k club will have rocketed to the cool 50k club. I've really got to get typing. I'm going to reach 20k tonight by golly, I will!
