And I still don't know if Amy is pregnant or not... Gosh, that can be frustrating.

Are you talking about F.R.E.A.K.s? Or the little snippits i just posted?

If FREAKs creeps you out... man you wouldn't survive till The House. That's the tamest book.

I like Civil War II, too!

Ely, I might be able to get you Chapter 5 and 6 by tomorrow or Friday. Plotting right now.

Thanks, i had a feeling that one would win the vote, I'm just trying to figure out if i want to keep prolonging The House.

I'm still kind of frustrated. I've looked forward to writing this damn book for years now and now i finally get to it and i have stage fright! When NaNo came along i jumped on TAJ to prolong writing The House. Thinking that in the meantime i'd do alot more research on how to write real horror.

For this book I want it to literally keep you up at night. To give you nightmares, to make you jump when you hear the damn wind blow outside. All my other books are creepy and dark but not to that degree... i wanted this to be a true horrifying book, but i feel i cant pull off that effect. Sure the pictures and plot i have if i could project it from my mind would get that effect, but my writing... i dont know. I've done a shit ton of research and reading, but like i said i guess i have stage fright and that's not like me.

So i'm now wondering if prolonging writing this any longer will really benefit me

I was working on Chapter 5 instead of plotting. Chapter 5 is still unfinished, but NOW I'm plotting. I need to figure out where this novel is headed so I don't get stuck. I have 20 days before I want to finish this novel by. It's my 21st bday. I'm so driven! :D

LOL Ely. I'd do that too

So far, I've plotted up to Chapter 10. Almost nearing the Act 1 Turning Point...

A world of pure imagination...
I have homework I need to do, but I don't have the program and I'm not walking to the library through the snow at night, so it's getting done tomorrow and hoping that I'm remembering right and we have three days to turn stuff in.

Oh, yeah... Hey guys! :D

hey everyone! I'm back from a break with Neal Caffrey!

hehehe i hate and love him, why? Because he is every single one of my characters in LotF all in one damn person. In theory he's exactly like me in my books... because in the 10 book, I (Ally) become a thief and criminal. undercover of course, its all to get a hold of and save a little boy, but cant say i'm not really good at it!

Oddly enough I'm more excited to write that one then any other. Probably because I'm on the White Collar kick. But really, who wouldnt be excited about pulling a casino robbery heist, while a heist is suppose to be played on the people pulling the heist. Yeah i know none of that made any sense but I'm getting sleepy

morning guys!

Mystery of the day solved. Why was I late for two days for work? My roommates turned down the volume of my alarm clock!

Hey all. I got a question for you:

Out of the names Lucas, Calum, Noah, Conner and Joshua, which do you prefer?


And also, am I the only one who forgets which tense they're writing in? I'm writing in present tense, but I keep slipping into past tense. It's annoying. lol

Second person to say Noah (first was on facebook) but my mum said Calum. I was like... I need a wider vote! haha

The character could suit any of those names, and I can see me changing my mind all the way through. lol Not clever :p So if anyone else has a vote... please feel free to suggest. I'm bad at decisions.

Oh someone else voted Noah on facebook. Great. so that's... 3 votes. Groovy.
