Are we sure we're not schizophrenic? LOL

(Huggz) my darling daughter. :-)

I'm sure! These voices aren't quite the same as the ones that are a sign of being crazy. I think. xD

This is something I'm intimatly familiar with :) The main reason for me to finish writing a book is figuring out how it ends...

However, I have never brought my crew over to play in LJI... Too bloody aware that books and serials tends to be less than sucessful.

theun4givables December 4 2014, 04:49:13 UTC

Yeah, I don't always know how my shit ends. Usually it's fiddle around with it until they tell me. XD

I have been doing okay with my serials. Writing things that are standalone is tough, though.

I love that you mentioned that Jazz and Savid got you voted out of Idol three times, and that you refused to write them again... and then did.

But mostly, I love the idea that your characters are keeping secrets from you as well as each other. Which is not weird or insane in any way. Sometimes, they just surprise you with things you didn't intend. Granny Alice sure did that for me in one of my stories.

It sounds as if you just made it to winning NaNo again. True?

theun4givables December 4 2014, 04:54:28 UTC

Yeah, I blame Sarah for that. XD I wrote that piece of my NaNo out of order, didn't like the last section, set it aside, she read it and went, "Dude. End it a section earlier and it'd be a good Idol piece."

All her fault. =p

Yeah, it's just usually Savin who has the secrets. Annoying, though. Fun, but annoying. XD

And yes, I won. Just barely under 51k I validated. :D

Ahahahaha. I'm sorrryyyyyyy. xD

theun4givables December 4 2014, 14:59:06 UTC

lolol no you're not. xD

Ha! This is fun and just excellently done. So many of us relate in this way to our characters and you really capture all of that slightly-schizo feel of how it works. Or doesn't work. ;) Your usual style of speed and pace shine through here for maximum effect. Nice job on your nano meta!

theun4givables December 4 2014, 20:02:53 UTC

Thank you. :) "Slightly-schizo" feel describes it perfectly, and I'm glad I captured it. :)

Thanks again! Meta was new territory for me, so glad it's working for others. :)

<3 I enjoyed writing it. Because it's hard to convey what it's like in my head, and this was by far the easiest way to do it.

I found it interesting that Jazz always liked to show up to my right and that Savin to my left. I never realized it but I do kind of look in either direction when they're "talking" to me. (Mitchel likes to show up behind me -- but he rarely says anything to me.)
