Every 45 seconds...a Newbie is born

Thrillride · Feb 22, 2007

Here is yet another Noob.

Hi guys, I go by Thrillride. I write thriller/suspense and the occasional horror short piece.

I am the mother of four *sigh* - yes I am tired. They are 21, 18, 16 and 8. The hell with waiting for all of them to fledge - I'm following the dreams of my youth.
You remember youth, don't you? Those sweet days before you discovered the opposite sex, or the same sex or whatever.

I am currently working on a non-fiction piece and a novel that I am having scads of fun writing. I have the bare bones of my novel and am currently going through it, chapter by chapter and fleshing out...refining...deleting...repeat.

I am currently a member of Sisters in Crime to help me create my mischief. I don't know why I felt it was important to tell you that, it just sounds so fun to be a member of a club that involves the word crime.

Four! Well Welcome to AW!

PeeDee · Feb 22, 2007

You know, the Newbies come up with way more creative thread titles than anyone else, anywhere else on the board...

Welcome.

Thrillride · Feb 22, 2007

It's a gift, PeeDee.
It could be a side effect of certain personalities, tho. The kind of personalities who talk a lot.

Tattered and Torn, 14 is a great age - enjoy. Hey, I love your username.

Well, as long as you only make sense 25% of the time, you should be very popular around here.

(I can tell already. You'll fit riiiiiight in.)

Thrillride · Feb 22, 2007

Well, dammit, PeeDee, you're making me feel soooo welcome!
And I always wanted to be popular (never made cheerleader, yanno).

Hi Thrillride! What an exciting intro! I had to respond to your post b/c my mom had four kids (I am the youngest) with the exact same age difference as your four! I bet you tell your 8 year old he/she was your "happy accident" right? Oh wait, that's my life... LOL And yes, you MUST be tired, but can I just say that your enthusiasm for writing is infectious? Looking forward to hearing more from you.

That was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, Mud Dauber. I swear to you, my mother has never said anything that nice.

Well, there was this time I was dating this guy and he used the word "petite" in the same sentence as my name - that was really cool, too, but honestly that was very sweet.

Yes, my youngest was quite a surprise. I actually took seven home pregancy tests I was so in denial! I mean..."I KNOW how not to get pregnant, for pete's sake!"

Obviously not.

It gives you a great line to use on your youngest though. "We weren't planning on you, bucko, we can get rid of you if you don't sit down and be quiet."

Thrillride · Feb 22, 2007

LOLOLOLOLOL!!
PeeDee, you are my new best friend.

Yes, I have used a quote on her that is similar to yours. I also ask if she has seen her younger brother around.

She's all, "What younger brother"?

That's right, my little friend...

PeeDee · Feb 22, 2007

Thank you.

I'll try to remain interesting, then.

Now g'wan, and enjoy the rest of the forums too!

No?

That's a good one. I love that one. I'm expecting my first child (Tzinski 2.0) in around six months or so, so I'll keep that one handy.

"If you don't be careful, you'll wind up like your brother Steve."

"I don't have a brother Steve."

"that's because he didn't finish his veggies."

*scuffing my shoes on the dirt*

I'm goin', I'm goin'.

Thrillride · Feb 22, 2007

*nodding* Yup!!

If you look up, I fixed my post because it sounded vague the first way. Can't have vague at a writer's board, can we?

Thrillride · Feb 22, 2007

By the way - CONGRATS on your first! How incredibly cool for you guys.

You can erase the word sleep from your vocab now.
And quiet.
And time.
Oh yeah and "good clothes".

But you can also erase the phrase, "What's it all about?" *grin*

Promise me when the little PeeDee is born you will call your parents and say, "I can't believe how much you love me."

OMG, here I go - you made me get all sappy...I used to be so much damn fun!

Is that a challenge?

Welcome Thrillride. AW's a great place!

PETE: I can't believe how much you love me.

DAD: Do you have gray hairs?

PETE: Yeah, it's weird, they started showing up same time as the chil--

DAD: I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU! I--

MOM: Don't listen to him today, he's in a mood. He was telling squid jokes all morning.

PETE: I...er...gotta...go.

Thanks to writing deadlines, I mostly avoid "sleep" anyway. Now, I just have to learn to write one-handed while holding a screaming bundle of wiggling and smells in my other hand.

At least I have someone tor ead to.

Thrillride · Feb 22, 2007

LOLOL! That sounded just about right - damn cynical parents.

You wanna hear something twilight-zone like? I asked my oldest earlier to find me a good avitar and she walked by a little while ago and said, "How about a picture of a squid?"

I swear on my first born...er...I mean my third born, this just happened...

Thrillride · Feb 22, 2007

C-bronco, not to cause trouble or anything, but yeah, I do believe he was challenging you.
He clearly threw down the gauntlet.

Thanks for the welcome!

Do you guys have any particular groups going for critiquing?

See? You do fit in. You're already trying to cause chaos.
