Almost there! Oh, and here, I put the picture of my cover on a page on my old website... hopefully that helps...

See if that works. Until then, goodnight and sleep well!

Abortion

[ivymere.livejournal.com]

Can abortion be considered a type of surgery? I had an excerpt in my Xanga blog and one of my friends im-ed me saying that he thought abortion isn't a surgery; just a procedure. (I mention both words, "procedure" and "surgery" in my excerpt.)

Any ideas?

(oh and I HATE POETRY with a PASSION...I got an F and an "X" on my first two rough drafts ever...yay me. It's so depressing, not that I ever fooled myself thinking I was a good poet but still....)

Pushing forward

[monkeyshine4616.livejournal.com]

So... I did the math. I've already written 3,000 words today. In order to be able to write 2,950 for the rest of the month, I have to punch out another 3,000 words before I stop writing today. But it's not impossible!! I've done more than 6,000 words in one day before, and I know I can do it again. So instead of posting here, I'll get back to writing, and hope that writing the next scene will get me 3,000 words or more.

Cheers!

Only a WEEK?

[theonlygrinch-.livejournal.com]

Okay, only a week to go? I'm still torn between believing I'm screwed and believing I can make it. I've go t a week to finish a little over half of the novel. Of course, there is a holiday weekend in there, and that may be my saving grace. I refuse to lose!! Must write more while at work... All this no sleep is catching up with me. Last night I wrote a paltry SIXTY words before collapsing for the night. Hopefully, this evening will be much more productive!

As of this moment, I am complete.

I still have a final scene and an epilogue to write.

...and then I've already amassed 7 pages of extra scenes that need to be added.

Isn't it amazing the way the characters can go all on their own? I imagined that Ted would be the love interest of my main character- at least for a little while, because his conservative upbringing would totally get in the way of their love. When he kinda dissed her at the bonfire, I figured he was just shy. And when he was freaking out about his supposed gay roommate, I assumed he was just homophobic (very conservative family). How was I to know that he was gay??? Now who will my main character love? Maybe the supposed gay roommate- I'm still not sure about him.

Isn't there a white knight upon fiery steed

*does a happy dance*

I've crossed the finish line! :D!!!

I'm not done with my story yet and I hope to finish it soon. :D

I ended up killing off two characters I didn't plan to. :-/ I didn't plan to do that either. o_O I couldn't stop the killer. *shakes head* It was in the heat of the moment.


BUT I"VE CROSSED THE DAMNED LINE! WOOO!

ok, totally stupid question.... do you have to complete the story when submitting it, or just hit 50K+... even though the book isn't done, and submit just what is done?

When I started all this, I never guessed I'd somehow end up with a severed hand in the hedge. I mean, really.

Hee.

Song lyrics

[alexabexis.livejournal.com]

Let's say my character likes to sing. And she sings a song during the course of my novel. It would therefore be acceptable to include all the lyrics of the song in quotes, right? Because then it's dialogue. (In other words, I'm getting desperate, as I didn't write nearly enough today. I'm ahead by 7 words.)
