Hola peeps.

Hola Kristin~!

I love that Jamiegirl Jamieboy thing. Sounds like a novel idea.

Juneluv12 · 11-08-2009, 01:07 AM

Weird scene for latest Sleepless in Seattleesque/Win a Date with Tad Hamilton came to be as I was putting up the grocery cart. I had an idea for a meet cute with a runaway cart...sigh....me thinks I need a nap!

The one thing I hate about NaNo is that you don't have time to perfect the plot. At least, I'll know what I want to edit by December.

peachiemkey · 11-08-2009, 01:11 AM

June, you're subbing on Wednesday? Ack! I need to send you interview questions

True true, Ely. Well hey, it's all about getting the words on the page.

Would teens know what Kevlar is?

Probably. Plus if there was any context, it would be easy to guess.

Excellent. Thanks. I didn't know what it was until my twenties but I led a sheltered life.

If I read something in a book I don't know, I just google it. But I agree with Peachie.

Oh, and, I FINALLY WROTE 1K today!!! *faints from shock*

peachiemkey · 11-08-2009, 01:18 AM

Yay, CR!

Elysium · 11-08-2009, 01:24 AM

Go Common!

In other news, I've reached 10k!!!!

Kathleen42 · 11-08-2009, 01:24 AM

I didn't have the internet until I was 17. I feel so damned old.

*sigh* I'm struggling with this rewrite. Sometimes it seems great and other times it seems like a mess.

CommonReactor · 11-08-2009, 01:26 AM

YAY Ely!!!

Kath - I feel ya. I'm struggling to even write. I think I'm just freakin' repeating myself over and over again. Eh.

peachiemkey · 11-08-2009, 01:27 AM

Yay, Ely

I know how you feel, Kathleen. Just look at it like you're writing a second first draft. That gives you permission to not do so hot. After all, you are writing everything technically from scratch, even if you have a reference.

That's how I feel, but I'm taking mental notes/notes on what I want to happen so that when it's time to edit, I can go through and change everything.

houndrat · 11-08-2009, 01:30 AM

Bleh...I'm losing steam on writing at the moment...iz snoozy...

peachiemkey · 11-08-2009, 01:33 AM

*pours bucket of cold water on Hound*

Kathleen42 · 11-08-2009, 01:37 AM

I think I might break down and ask my boyfriend to take me out to supper. Maybe that will be a break.

houndrat · 11-08-2009, 01:41 AM

BRRRRRR! *flings cold water at Peachie*

Nope. Still snoozy. I think I need caffeine.

Aw, you said supper. That makes me think of Little House on the Prairie, for some reason.

*ducks*

peachiemkey · 11-08-2009, 01:44 AM

I wish someone would take me out to dinner(/supper).

Oh wait. I'm a hermit, and I'd rather stay inside, make some Mac & Cheese, and watch TV with my doggy. That's right.

Oohhh. Maybe I need caff...

Horserider · 11-08-2009, 01:49 AM

Hey guys. My laptop broke.

So if I'm not in here nearly as often as normal, that would be why. I'm back to fighting with my mom over the computer which is really bad since we're both writers with novels that we want to work on all the time.

Kathleen42 · 11-08-2009, 01:54 AM

Houndie: just emailed you again.
