Wow... thanks for the follows! I have to go look at my Twitter now, since I haven't in ages thanks to schoolwork...
All this talk of twitter reminds me of Bambi. Y'know, when everyone gets twitterpated.
Remember that this is the time of year for rejoicing and remembering friends and family. And thinking back on all you DID accomplish this year and looking forward to all the possibilities for next year.
We all fall short, every day, so rejoice in every triumph, no matter how small it may seem to you. It may be huge to someone else. Surround yourself with those who will encourage and support you, and smile at those who try to make you feel small. The joke's on them.
So I have a question for my fellow MGWers. Do you ever find yourself overthinking how a character would react in a given situation to the point that you've now gone on a tangent, but aren't sure how to make the scene shorter and still have them react realistically? I'm not asking about any specific scene or character here. I just find myself doing that a lot and wanted to know if I was weird. LOL
Have a wonderful, wonder-filled holiday, everyone.

Is that your name, Sissy? My daughter is named Cordelia!
It's weird when you learn AW friends' real names, isn't it? I mean, Cordelia is a lovely name, but I'll always think of sissy as sissy!
Wait? Does that mean you guys think my name is really Smish?
Of course your name is Smish, Smish. And I'm a ferret.
See, I showed such little imagination in choosing my username that I can't add anything clever.
My Wip (MG adventure) centers around a camp for kids; the campers are separated into teams. I really want the teams (boys and girls - 12 - 15 year olds) to sleep in the same cabins. They have competitions that happen at a drop of a hat (all hours), and they need to react together. Showers and changing areas are all out of the cabin (ETA: and separated, male/female), but is it still just too far out there for that to work?
I've read a couple books where they do this, but those books were based in the future, and so there is an assumption of different social norms.
Thoughts?
