Prepare for this to be long and random.

So the novel is finished. Well, it's been finished, but I haven't updated in a while. I'm sending out to agents, trying to be hopeful, trying not to hold my breath. I'll be going through a book Stephen gave me soon (Thank you!) to compile another list. It certainly isn't easy - it's like I'm fishing with bait that satisfies only one fish, and I don ( Read more... )

This.. is a great entry. Everything about it is just so good and a look into things that aren't usually seen from you. I didn't know you had a completely different novel in mind- and it makes me look forward to when you can visit those places. I'm excited to read what you write and lol am even getting anxious because i haven't had time to read too much of Night Haven yet.
I'm proud of your mind and proud of you. Like i tend to say.. you'll get where you want to because you have the drive for it and can make your own stability.
You just need to do what is right for you and not what is convenient and you obviously see the difference :).

In regards to your Uncle- it's nice to read about it even though it was a negative event. Remembering people is important even if things didn't end in an ideal way. Numbness is normal and i definitely can relate to that so it's refreshing to have a look into someone else's experiences with it. <3
I love you miss. And now you're here.. so i'm going to start paying attention to you elsewhere ;)

Yeah. It's sad to say, but it was all inspired...by Zac Efron. XD I know, I am so ashamed. I think bits of it were in my brain, and then we saw 17 Again, and for some reason his character inspired the main character in this other idea I had. Oh jeez. And then my brain went crazy like it always does and TA-DA!

am even getting anxious because i haven't had time to read too much of Night Haven yet.

Ah, take your time. No rush. Keep me updated as you go, if you like. I'm trying to get use to talking about it. It's still a bit awkward, I think. And, because I forgot to tell you before, feel free to alert me of any spelling/grammatical errors. I've edited it like crazy, and even more so since I sent it to you, but when I'm rushing through something I tend to make silly mistakes. Like mix up then and than or something like that.

And <3 on the rest of the comment. Love you too. ^.^

I never really knew too much about your family.. And sometimes, I suppose I realize I don't know all that much about you either... But I would certainly like to. Even though I feel the opportunity to just sit down with you and chat about life is underdetermined, or even unlikely, I like to listen to you speak or read what you and everyone else writes whenever I get the chance to remember LJ. I do apologize I only got to read a chapter or so of your book from what you posted, but I really am so happy that you've finished it and that I really hope for the best and that people will see you for you and your talent.

Thanks for sharing about your uncle. The way you wrote it just hit me and I could imagine how you were feeling, as cheesy as that may sound. But maybe from this I understand you just a bit more.

I respect you and love ya, deary. It was lovely seeing you yesterday. I hope we hang out more soon. =)

I think we're at a point in our lives that we're choosing paths and growing up. That leaves little room for all of us to have one-on-one conversation. I'm not always the biggest phone person, mainly because I'm not good at keeping a conversation going, but if you ever feel the urge to call while you're away, I'd love to hear your beautiful voice. =)

Love you too Tiffy, and I hope we can see more of each other in the future. Perhaps when we're all settled in our lives. When we're big people!

Christ almighty Deb, don't cryyyyyyy!!

I'm sorry for selfishly thinking of the people I lost while I read about the person you lost.

That's not selfish, that's normal. You're human Deb (you're not a robot like Mermi =P), and it's perfectly natural to think about lost ones. I'm just sorry you ever had to experience it or feel it at all. Of all people in the world, I feel like I'd want to spare you the most from pain like that. You seem too...precious for heartbreak. Too beautiful and pure somehow.

If you ever need to talk about it I'm open. I can't honestly say that I've never lost someone I was really very close to. The family I've lost, I hardly knew. And that's a lot of people, sadly.

I hope you don't feel pressure about getting your book published because of us.Not even a little. There's no pressure, only support, from you guys. When I'm down on myself and start thinking that I'll get nowhere fast, I just try and remember how much you all believe in me. That's means more to me than I think you all know. It helps me pull through ( ... )
