So where have I been?
The conclusion of my previous comment, waaaaay back in the beginning of the summer, is that we bought a house! These are the MLS pictures of our house, with the seller's staging and all their stuff. Most rooms look better with their things, since we basically have furniture from college, and we have enough furniture to fill a 2 bedroom apartment ( Read more... ) -
Writing, like banging your head against the wall, feels teriffic mainly when you stop. -R. Walter
So, I always hate it when authors who I'm dying to read the next chapter by stop writing and put up lame excuses why they haven't done it yet... so...
*DEEP KOWTOW*
I'm terribly sorry I haven't posted the next chapter of AMOC yet. I really don't have any excuses, just reasons, which I hope that you'll forgive me for. This is what I was going to put ( Read more... ) -
AMOC Timeline
In case anyone's curious, I've finally put together a rough timeline of what happens on what day in my story. Modeled after Kodu's story timeline, doing this has really helped me understand what's happening when. I also wish I'd done it earlier, because it's helped point out weird pacing mistakes I made, especially at the beginning. I think I ( Read more... ) -
AMOC wedding illustration
So.... I've been working on this in the time I'd usually be writing... I hope you don't hate me too much, it's put me waaaay behind in my story (I've thought about, but not actually started ch 10 at all) It's a scene that won't even occur in ch 10 either, but I'd reeeeally wanted to illustrate Sakura's dress, that way when the wedding does come ( Read more... ) -
Chapter 352 of Naruto *SPOILERS*
This post discusses the latest chapter of Naruto, #352. If you don't want to be spoiled, do not read on.
This is a bit rambling...
So... The latest chapter of Naruto. I'm honestly not sure what to make of Sasuke anymore. I originally started as a Sasuke fan, and I loved Sasuke/Sakura ship, but after Sasuke abandoned his village to seek out power ( Read more... ) -
From the "What-The-Hell-Were-They-Thinking" department....
Ok... I normally would never remark on comments left for my story. I appreciate that people leave reviews, from detailed ones to the simple one line "rite mor!" type. However, I got a review today that I'm just like WTF? Someone actually left a signed review, saying "YAY, an update plus you finished the traveling (thank god) now the story can ( Read more... ) -
Pistol-whipped by my own story…
Jenn: I just want to skip to Sunagakure!
Chapter 9: Hah! You wish loser, write me properly dammit!
Jenn: But I’m tired of traveling! I want to get to the good stuff!
Chapter 9: I DEMAND you write me, biotch! Stop slacking off!
Jenn: ~whimper~ ...jerk.
That's basically the conversation I had with the first act. But when I gave ( Read more... ) -
Cut scenes from Ch 9
So, I'm working away, though slowly, on Ch 9 of AMOC. I started and restarted three times before coming on a scene that felt right for the opening sequence, and it's 100% different than what's below. Here are the two previous openings, in all their unfleshed glory...
First cut:
Despite Gaara’s warnings of the dangers of the desert, they reached ( Read more... ) -
Naruto story recommendations
So! I've been hard at work trying to clean out my favorites on my fanfiction.net account, and I've compiled several different fanfiction reference pages. I started the first one for Inuyasha a long time ago, because I was reading so many fics that I couldn't remember what was what, so if I wanted to reread something I just couldn't find it. I ( Read more... ) -
Real Life vs. Fiction
In volume 12 of Fullmetal Alchemist, Hiromu Arakawa says “Fiction brings salvation to characters in stories that would otherwise have no salvation at all.” Real life is nothing like stories, and I can tell you, I’ve had quite a storybook relationship. I met my now husband when I was 15 years old in high school, we started dating at 16, and have ( Read more... )
