I'm weak on ideas. I mean, I get lots of them but usually I decide they're not good enough and toss them.

I got my first SNI in a long time yesterday. Have to see if it sticks around long enough to be written.

But for now I'm off to bed! Night, twifties!

Okay, so, since I took a nap today and my sleeping schedule is messed up, I'm pulling an all-nighter. I have to get up at 3 anyway, so it's not even like it matters.

TWO QUESTIONS

Quote:
Her bare legs scraped against the thick bristle of the growth, but the grating on her legs and the blood dripping from her small wounds was not enough to distract her.
Is that third-person limited?
Also, is it telling or showing?

That alone is 3rd limited because you're just following the girl's POV. I think it's showing. If you say.. She hurt herself on the thick bristle of the growth ... that is telling.

Haha, it's okay. Oh, and technically I am 10 hours ahead

I know Leasie is 13 hours ahead (technically 11 hours behind).

*is still giddy that she wrote all her blurbs!!*

I am not tired at all yet. I had rootbeer earlier. Although my eyes are starting to feel heavy. Sleep will overcome me in the next half hour for sure lol

MH, your avvie scares me lol. I try to look away, but it's so scary I am fixated on it. If that makes any sense. Once again, it is late.
