i stole this from ronnie because i'm a big fan of her as a writer and as a person. <333333333333

Post the first sentence (or three) a random large chunk from every WIP you're currently working on, even if it's very short. Then invite people to ask questions about your WIPs. With any luck, you'll get talking about writing, and the motivation to ( Read more... )

i read this right before i went to work, and then for seven and a half hours i was just like smiling and trying to figure out how to answer this sort of concisely. i'm so happy you think it doesn't have many frills because the first draft was seriously DROWNING IN FRILLS. there will be a paragraph like two pages long and i'm like, does this even SAY anything? but then again, i was going for word count. even back then, i didn't like frills, but i found them kind of necessary lol. and that goes along with the first person too omg! i hate first person! but i thought if i wrote it in first person i would get a much higher word count because people tend to ramble (like i'm doing now...) and it totally worked. and now i can't write about carver without it being in the first person. however, if i write from any of the other characters' perspective, it's in third. o___________O

(i can be quite concise in fiction, but as myself, nooooo way. i apologize in advance for the length this will probably be.)

she would absolutely agree that she is dumb. she's been told that a lot. she was never a very good student, and she didn't really care, because she knew what she wanted to do, and it had nothing to do with school. her mom is very upset with her for not going to university, and i think sometimes she regrets it, even though she knows it wouldn't have been a good atmosphere for her. she just wishes she could feel smarter. her world is very small. also her boyfriend is quite smart so she sometimes feels dumb around him too.

let's see, carver met marvel when she got her first big job! he played her love interest. he is mostly a dancer, but he sings and acts too. together they also teach a teen! music! theatre! class. exclamation points are necessary. when they met she was nineteen and he was twenty-one and they became best friends for lots and lots of reasons lol. mostly they look out for each other. carver met g-unit (outside of the book, he is always g-unit. i don't even remember why.) about a year later i think, when she was lost because marvel was at an audition so he couldn't drive her to her audition. she can't drive. g-unit was outside pretending to have a smoke (he doesn't smoke) because he couldn't stand the tension at his lunch meeting and nobody would listen to him telling them to calm down because he's "not a real employee." he's "not a real employee" because his dad and before that his grandfather and great-grandfather etc work for the bank so they think he got his job unfairly even though he really didn't. he just wants to work there because he's a family kind of dude. anyway, he noticed her pass by his building for the third time so he asked her if she needed help getting somewhere and the rest is history. (to me and three other people and now you!)

g-unit met marvel pretty quickly because marvel and carver are pretty much a package deal! they bonded very quickly over their love of guitar hero and because they both talk a lot so they had a lot to talk about! because i am the kind of person who writes fanfic for her own characters, marvel/gabriel is actually my favourite non-canon pairing AHAHAHAHAHA. the three of them all love each other very much.

thank you so much! you are waaaayyyy too sweet! i can't wait to see more of yours as well! <33333333

O.O! Oh my gosh, your reply is like another excerpt in itself! Which is awesome! And hee, that is adorable! I love that you fanfic your own fic! :D LOL re: the non-canon pairing. Right? Those always seem to happen. lol

<333 I want to read the meetings! (Though you sort of just wrote it in the reply too!) It's one of my fave parts of stories - how people meet/their first impressions. :D

♥!

i'm sorry! i don't know how to stop talking! there are only two people and me who have read the book, and my sister who knows mostly all of it, so i don't talk about it much! i don't write much fanfic, but i do a lot of non-canon drawings, and i sometimes...request fanfic from my friends... D:!

i will totally have to type them sometime! thank you so much for being so kind! i agree, meetings are always so much fun. :D it's weird for me to think you only know some of the story, though, since everyone else knows it like from beginning to end and all the secondary characters and everything, so it's very very cool to see it from a perspective different than that! ah! <333333333333333333333333333333333

Ahh, never apologize for talking! :D

And hee, really? That's awesome! I love that you all have this shared 'verse to play within!

Also, yay! I look forward to reading them. <3333 It is super interesting just getting a glimpse of this world. Need more (but in a no pressure kind of way!) ♥
