Old People Writing for Teens, IV

Subscriptions are amazing. You can find your subscribed threads in your User CP (above your rep points).

Do not use the send an e-mail function, though. Admins say not to, so I assume it breaks the site, lol

Guys, I just had one of my fave professors tell me I was talented and that she was so proud of me for writing a novel/qu3rying :e2cloud9:

I feel so lucky to be surrounded by supportive people.

Okay, back to doing homework. :tongue

Stiger05 · May 3, 2012

Aw, yay Smiley! It's always so great to be encouraged by someone you admire.

Sage · May 3, 2012

Aw, that's sweet

Smiley0501 · May 3, 2012

Yeah, she's such a wonderful professor. I wish she was a little harder (I had her for a poetry class) but what can you do. LOL I can't tell her "Be a harsher critic! Don't give me that A!" lol

I finished one of my assignments so now I only have to write/finish my senior research paper. Wahoo! :snoopy:

And then graduating in a few weeks.

Hope everyone has been just as productive today.

Sage · May 3, 2012

I was not as productive on writing today as I wanted to be, but I was productive in other things (for example, my bathroom is sparkling).

I decided to write Austin (soldier android)'s scenes from scratch in TM, with the hope that I will change what needs to be changed if I'm doing that. Some is voice (I am awful at changing voice), some is info we need, some might be scrapping a scene and exchanging with another altogether.

Smiley0501 · May 3, 2012

Good luck, Sage. I'm sure you know this but remember to always save the stuff you take out and like you said we need to know it so I'm sure it will come in handy later.

Poll:

As you made the transition from being a teen-writing-for-teens into an old-decrepit-person-writing-for-teens (here's looking at you all, my friends), you dealt with it how?

Whiskey? Whiskey.

Now who wants to be best-writer-friends-forever, or at least until we lose our eyesight (not long now!)?

Well I busted out a can of cheese and put some on a cracker and ate it. Then I went and started watching 90's cartoons and loaded in a AOL Cd. Holding onto that teendom ;_;

squalorcat · May 4, 2012

I've seen the Spice Girls twice in concert, Smiley. If given the chance, I'd go for number three faster than Posh can scowl.

Wow, pixy, wtg!

JSSchley · May 4, 2012

Wow, Pixy, congratulations! May you have many happy sales.

JKRowley · May 4, 2012

What a great position to be in to get to choose among many agents who want to work with you. You must be on top of the world right now!

I ordered your novella.

Sage · May 4, 2012

JK, I have to say that every time you post, I get excited that Jo Rowling is here... until I figure it out.

JKRowley · May 4, 2012

Not a bad person to be confused with, if only for a moment.

JK Rowley is something my kids say all the time after saying a joke.

Dorothy · May 4, 2012

Congrats, Pixie!!!! Woohoo!

I didn't make the transition. As I teen I tried to write for old folks, and now as an old folk I find I can only write for teens.

Oh, and I never grew up. Hooray for playing pretend with failing eyesight!!
