Greeting, lovelies! Oh, boy have I been on a creative streak lately! Sure, a psychiatrist might call it a manic episode but I perfer to think of myself as motivated. I just hope it lasts long enough for me to get even more work done. So, we have the last part of this book which contains the single most unbelievable thing ever commited to print. I

Jessi is a little better than Dawn by saying she realizes she's being an asshole

I'm really shocked by that. At least she realizes she's being one.

I'm totally shocked that a BSC member would have a moment of self reflection that doesn't center on how great they are

So am I. I didn't think that was allowed.

Jessi. You. Do not. Speak. In ballet.

Seriously, did she fall in hit her head?

I always hated how Ann done dirty David M by making him dumber than Karen when he's older. He's always stupid and perplexed while she has all the answers.

So do I. He must be so relieved everytime Karen goes back to her mom's.

K Ron says she's super nervous and that's understandable. This is something she's never done before. I think it would ease her mind if she thought of the audience as her minions because God only knows what a loud showoff she is around them.

I'm surprised that Kristy was nervous given her personalty but it is nice to see.

I absolutely lose my shit when Dawn starts her chapter by saying she doesn't like being the center of attention. OMG!! How can anyone write such a stupendous lie and the whole universe not burst into flames?! Every. Single. Dawn book is about people not paying attention to her! She's constantly drawing attention to herself about how special she is for the way she eats/dresses/acts! I sat here for like five minutes trying to figure out
how Ann thought she could get away with that

This yes!

Because he's a thoughtful man who doesn't know his stepdaughter hates him

I always loved this part. I don't know how Ann managed to create since
a nice and thoughtful character.

I knew my characters. I knew their personalities and what they would and wouldn't do or say. I was careful not to have them contradict themselves. But Ann, fucking Ann sitting on her pile of cash, doesn't know the basics of character writing.

This I really don't understand. I'm not published or anything but I know my
characters, their personalities, and etc. Every writer I've ever talked too
does too. Maybe we're doing it all wrong. But then I see interviews of
J.K. Rowlings and other authors when they talk about their characters they
know them, they know their personalities, backstories, etc. But here you
have Ann who writes the complete opposite. She writes Dawn as individual
and laid back but we never get that character. She writes about how Karen
is a great kid but what we get is a spoiled brat. Janine is a mean sister but once again that's not what we get.
