Yep! That's Glenn Quinn.....I was watching the opening season of Angel on TNT & got a minor obsession....I thought he was better looking than "I" am!

ETA: I could only wish that it was "someone else"....*SIGH* if Kenny looked like THAT I might not get so easily annoyed with him! LOL~! *SHHHHH Don't tell him I said that! *looks around nervously*

Ellen Goodlett writes because otherwise she would spend her days plotting to take over the world. She figures that the former would benefit humanity ever so slightly more than the latter (which would be disastrous and involve a lot of cats in government positions). She lives in a town-that’s-close-enough-to-count-as-New-York-City while she saves up spare pocket change to buy her dream house: a German castle on the Rhine. Or a tent on the beach in Hawaii. Whichever comes first.

Too weird? >.>

bwahahahahhahaha :ROFL::ROFL:

that is AWESOME!!! perfect. def. go with that :D

Typos make me laugh! I was trying to write "Geometry" and it came out "Feometry" and I was thinking....what the "F" is "Feometry"....I crack myself up for some reason! Just thought I'd share the insanity...it's much better than enjoying it alone! :D

I am YA, it's why I write it....

ROFL~! Yes...you're good! I can attest to that! Hee hee! (Psst...I PROMISE I'll get everything back to you soon....it's just that these people won't let me end the story yet!)

Thanks, Moni, no worries. I'm off for Spring Break tomorrow and really should work on a draft of this other WIP too

On the bright side though.....it's almost done....but it's been almost done for like 2 days now! I meant to have it done on Sunday....or even the latest Monday....but it's not working out like that! UGH! I've been losing steam on it....I guess over 15k words in one day can really suck the life outta ya huh?

I've been debating this myself, since I'd have to wait at least 10-20 years to try and sell my series because agents really seem to avoid anything with the word vampire in it right now. I suppose a little money is better than no money at all for this book, and try to get my other books through publishers.

and her profile pick seems really familiar. Have I seen her on here before? It's been so long since I really sat down and scanned the forums.

Didn't write at all yesterday, but I'm grateful. Needed a break. Today, 1.5k and counting. 30k'ish more to go. :D

I can't wait to finish. I've been wanting to work on FR, which is possibly my most unique story idea to date. But I won't allow it until ST is done.

@Moni, how is the finishing going?

@Dream Believer, I site: searched this forum on google, and her named popped up, but always related to stories about her success.

I think it's awesome though.

Heh, my twitter account is hidden somewhere around here. Lemme find it.

Be careful not to burn yourself out. That is something serious. I say give yourself a day or two for a break. Don't write on your wip at all unless you feel truly inspired. And during that day or two, keep your wip on your mind, basically what you want to happen in the next few chapters. That doesn't mean sit down and think about it, but more musing on it.

That's the only mojo I have. :)
