If it's worth doing....

Sep 18, 2012 20:24

One of my friends and I have a saying....

If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

I saw the notice from Harper Voyager stating they will be accepting unsolicited manuscripts from Oct 1 - 14

and I thought, hey! I'm already totally not busy with a full time job, music lessons, and other general comittments, WHY DON'T I WRITE A BOOK IN A MONTH?? * ( Read more... )

status update, writing is hard!

GOOD LUCK, BB. You totally got this.

I must confess I'm relieved the John/Rodney fic is still part of the plan...eventually.

If you're desperate for John/Rodney, I could always tease you with a snippet. mwhahahaha.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I need it!

Oh my god, that's evil! I'm torn between getting on my metaphysical knees and going PLEASE PLEASE POST A SNIPPET while at the same time going, "Self, you know what it'll do to you! Don't do that to yourself!"

So...if you were serious about that snippet, and it won't be too much trouble, I'd love that...

OMG, I waffled over this so much! I was like Hmmmm, should I post the beginning? or this bit here? Or THIS bit HERE? haha, indecisive writer is indecisive ( ... )

Mum said….

He pressed his fingers hard into the sore spot on his head. He didn’t want to think about mum right now. He needed to look at the lights.

The lights were high up, on the road, but pointing a bit down the hill, where their car had tumbled and slid.

There were people-shapes breaking up the lights, but instead of making him feel relieved it made him feel sick. Those people were trying to hurt him and mum. They’d pushed them off the road. And now he was stuck at the bottom and he was hurt and he couldn't wake mum up.

The shapes moved and he could tell, even from far away, that they didn’t move like regular people. They were clunky; odd.

They had long hair.

He stared harder trying to see something, anything.

Their hair was white.

Wraith.He was crying again. Big, fat tears running down his cheeks and he didn’t care if that made him a baby or not because they were monsters. They were monsters and they were here and he wasn’t in John’s house this time ( ... )

And it’s head fell off to the side. Unattached. Black pooling from the neck ( ... )

OH MY GOD A;SKDJFAS;K THIS WAS SO INTENSE AND SAD AND I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS AND I KNEW I'D BE ALL LONGING FOR MORE AND EXCITED

SDKJ;ASJ;a Have I mentioned lately how much I love your writing?

zoemathemata September 20 2012, 12:09:57 UTC

Thank you! I've got to say there are many many MANY times while I write that I just get frustrated or.... self conscious and it means a lot to me that someone is waiting for the next story! It keeps me going!

popkin16 September 21 2012, 00:34:21 UTC

You're welcome! I'm glad that I'm helping, even in some small way. Sometimes I feel bad, like I'm nagging or bothering you.

zoemathemata September 21 2012, 17:10:12 UTC

Never! It ALWAYS makes me happy to know someone likes my work!

and I need all the emotional support I can get right now. I waffle every day between I CAN DO IT! I'M A GOOD WRITER
and
SOB. I CAN'T DO IT. THIS IS CRAP.

I appreciate your support!

popkin16 September 22 2012, 10:03:22 UTC

I'm so glad!

I'm very good at emotional support :P I know how hard it is to write, so I try to be there for my friends. YOU ARE TOTALLY A GOOD WRITER BB YOU'VE WRITTEN SOME OF MY FAVORITE FICS A;DKJFA;SK
