Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

Hey guys!

Congrats on getting into Pottermore. Don't know what it is but I guess it has something to do with HP so it has to be big! Also, I can't for Doctor Who to come back on. After that last episode...wow. And I kinda knew who River was all a long, so it was cool that I was right.

I didn't see River's identity coming. I may have actually screamed and then grinned so much that my face started to hurt.

I learned last night/this morning that I prefer benedryl-induced sleep to normal sleep.

I saw the new trailer!! So awesome.

Although I know they're going to work out the Doctor's death 'cause I'm about 90% sure that Matt Smith signed on for the next season. So...

(I'm finding that I kinda like that about TV. Such-and-such a character can't die, there are more episodes!!! )

I'm a big fan of the black moment of doom.

Whenever things are bad, MAKE THEM WORSE!

I totally did that, Zoom. Black moment of doom got blacker.

Now I am so close to done the outline and ready to start actually writing my monstrous 5k chapters.

I'm actually mildly disappointed by my black moment in DD. I just kill all her friends...I could make it worse...

That's how I look at the entirety of Weeping. When it goes to betas, I'm planning to make one of the things I want them to look at be...how can I make things suck EVEN MORE for my characters? (And things suck pretty badly already.)

Woo, go Tally! Those are crazy-long chapters.

5k chapter?

Not that long.

It's long to me. My chapters are usually...I dunno, 3k or so? Not that I have the slightest clue with Weeping, since I plan to add in the chapter breaks once the draft is complete.

Done the outline! Hurrah, hurrah. I'm going to... take a break before I start writing.

The question is, what do I do instead? I wonder if the next episode of the Ouran live-action is out.

Breaks are beautiful things.

Okay, done making a cover. Now I'll work! No more procrasti--ooh, dinner.

I have never cried over a book so much in my life.

Should I be expecting worse with The Deathly Hallows?

Pretty, Tally.

And yes. You should be totally expecting worse with Hallows. -cries like a baby every time-

Oh dear... I'm still uneasy about starting it. I don't want it to end!

The book is in my lap. I can do it.

No. I can't.

I'm doing it.

Oh dear. I'm still a mess from the last one.

You can do it. I believe in you.

I'm still crying over the last book. I even cried in OOTP, because I'm a very soft, I guess that's the word, person, and when I read about Snape's worst memory, I shed a tear or two. And then for him to do THAT... Oh my.

I won't be fit.

Mom came and brought up that book again. Now, again, I'm crying. I am SO screwed.

You will sob over Deathly Hallows, but when it's done you will feel complete.

I'm baaaaaack. Tahoe is a lovely place, but I'm happy to be home.

Zoe, apparently you're my partner in crime!

I saw! We would be kickass partners in crime.

Totally. Our headquarters would be modelled after the Tardis.

Hey guys...I'm so frustrated. I really dunno what to do.
