Lisa, you said you wanted to know the playlist, and when I heard this song on LA Ink (she'd gotten her tattoo done by Kat Von D - who the show is mainly about) and they showed a bit of her music video and they played it and it was PERFECT for how Maira feels about Kieran.

Ooh, I'll check it later or tomorrow - I've made a mental note of the song.

And I'll let you know if I find any songs that I think fit.

I have my head full of hot curlers, thanks to my nan.

The last time I had this done was probably when I was in third grade.

Gah. Sooo heavy.

I'm not sure, Karla. I'm thinking of ways to give it a sort of edge without changing the entire foundation.

And, Taylor, I'm not sure. It's just like, nothing really stands out. If it were in a crowd of other Epic Fantasy books, there wouldn't really be anything in it that would make it very different...

SADLY.

Glo, did your email account get hacked? I got an email full of gibberish and a link for worldwealthbuilders.com, whatever that is.

That's strange. As far as I know, it hasn't. I just checked my sent mail and there's nothing in it.

I'm sure you can think of something :D

If you can make it high concept, usually that'll really help. My three really original SNIs are all high concept I think - CMRH with the matchmaking Robin Hood, To Find Love with the dreams to find each other, Tattoo Love with the tattoos representing the MC's dream guy.

I just tried to write one-sentence pitches and I think I did a good job lol. I won't post them on here though

ETA: That's so weird. Is it the de.soleil one?

Nah, I checked both. I don't know what happened. :?

Also, yeah. I'm just gonna keep going through ideas until I find one that's appropriate. This could take a while...

I feel like I'm writing Harry Potter with a few minor changes.

Well, at the moment... I am.

*headdesk*

Well, writing Q33 NY in Microsoft Word, changing the size to 43 and the font to Windings is quite... Scary.

Yay, Tally!

So on Wednesday I have 3 tests- all of which I still need to study for. I also have all the coursework my teacher just gave me. *bangs head against wall* I miss when I could write.
