Rambling
Oh God, it's been over a month and I have absolutely nothing to show for it. April/May got a little crazy with testing and other stuff.
But this month I'll be better, after all I want to be completely done with this thing by the end of the summer. Well, I don't want to be done with it, but I do at the same time you know? Because I want that sense ( Read more... ) -
To Write
So I've finally gotten past a huge point in my story, the point where my old first draft ends and I'm in uncharted territory. I now have 82.5 pages and I'm itching to print it out and edit it like mad.
BUT I WILL ABSTAIN
Because every great story starts out with a less than stellar draft.
Still, I want to get into the meat of the story (baby, and ( Read more... ) -
Just Another Post
So I have not posted in quite a while. I've been working on the novel, 37.5 pages in, but I haven't reached the point in my story where I don't have an old draft. Because I started this new draft and it isn't my first draft, but I have not finished just one draft. I swear I will not start a new new draft, until - of course - i actually finish the ( Read more... ) -
Resurrected
I've resurrected a character. Remember Chelsea, okay no you don't - but how about my post about Chelsea and how I deleted her? Huh? Yeah? Okay, awesome.
Well I was in a bit of a pickle, or a pinch...I had a problem.
See I deleted Chelsea and combined her character into this other girl Becky. But then I was reading my 2nd first draft and realized I ( Read more... ) -

R.I.P Chelsea Blake - MC's best friend
Okay, I've finished drawing up all my mini character sketches/info and now I'm going to continue on with the rest of my Final First Draft. I've completely deleted my MC's old best friend. I decided she really couldn't have a best friend if she was going to end up ditching them all anyway. I was going to make her (Chelsea) the "bff" of another ( Read more... ) -
Props On the Cool Name Right?
Hey there, thought you all should know I'm done feeling sorry for myself. No more whining and bitching (at least not for the next few days) because if I'm going to get better than I'm going to write and reach that point. I am currently working on brief character sketches so I can re-start my first draft with a clear head and I will not re-start ( Read more... ) -
I Enjoy Using the Word Glossy
Well everyone is now fully aware how much I suck. Phew.
Let's talk about something else (besides the glossy new flat screen my dad won at a superbowl party that isn't working or the snow that's ruining my morning - because what do those have to do with writing?)
Another Announcement of Sorts:
I write teen fiction.

God Do I Suck, or What?
I feel it's only fair to point out my attention whorey-ness to my non-readers right now.
I've just spent the last two hours setting up groups, posting in places asking people to LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME
When in actuality I am little to nothing (with high self esteem to boot).
I've never actually finished a whole novel. Everytime I see my NaNoWriMo "score ( Read more... ) -
Posterity
Here's an interesting idea: an introduction of sorts
My psuedonym for this site will be Violet
I love to write, read, photograph, smell plastic, browse xangas, sleep on the grass in the sun, receive Thesaraus' and other writing tools, journal online, daydream, watch TV, procrastinate, play with cats, be crazy, sit on tables, dance in the rain, swim ( Read more... )
