Hey. So Jeannette reminded me not to let this die again, so I'll give a quick recap of my life in general and do a couple parts of the writing meme.

On the college front, I am accepted into Providence College. I am waitlisted at Bowdoin and Bates, which is really annoying cuz I was banking on at least one of those two letting me in. I'm still ( Read more... )

Now for some topics that I decided to write about separately from the last post, because I have a feeling this is going to get long. Here are all my unhappinesses ( Read more... )

7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?

Well, the answer to this is no. Whenever I'm listening to music, I want to be able to sing along and think about what I'm listening to, and that usually distracts me. There are exceptions. Sometimes it's been a while since I've ( Read more... )

6. Where are you most comfortable writing? At what time of day? Computer or good ol' pen and paper?

I'm most comfortable writing at my desk in my room, mainly because that's where I always write. There are no distractions here because I spend so much time here anything that would be distracting has already been fully explored. Different places often ( Read more... )

Two days at once for no reason other than boredom.

4. Tell us about one of your first stories/characters!

Haha ok. Well I've come up with random stories for as long as I can remember, first as pretend games and then as the first two pages of picture books. But the first time I tried to write a novel was after I had read Harry Potter for the first ( Read more... )

Obviously I am incapable of updating consecutive days. Oh well. Here's the third question.

3. How do you come up with names, for characters (and for places if you're writing about fictional places)?

Really, there's no sort of science to it. I jumble syllables together until I think something works. If they're fantasy characters and places, I usually ( Read more... )

I hate when you manage to accidently delete your post. I had a really amusing intro to this and deleted it :( So anyway, here's writing meme question #2.

2. How many characters do you have? Do you prefer males or females?

How many characters? Probably in the hundreds. I've been writing since I was ten and have a habit of coming up with a new story ( Read more... )

I saw this on my friend's list and it looked like a lot of fun. Since most of the essay-type things I was planning to post aren't finished yet, I might as well answer this. Thirty day writing meme.

( Questions )

Does anyone read Xylia?  Just have to say, in regards to last weeks update, I'm really kinda disappointed in the way this is going.

I mean, there's a prophecy about the main character that he's gonna overthrow Mr. Evil.  Seriously.  HOW OVERDONE CAN YOU GET?  The world is different, the characters are different, the part with him being ( Read more... )

The more time I have to do my work, the more I just don't want to do it.  So here's a way to put off that DBQ for a little bit ( Read more... )
