Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

OH. I getcha.

I'M BRINGING SEXY BACK, YEAH!

This song is so damn addictive.

That was my dads old favorite song

I can go back to revising now! Wheeeeeeee!

Frozen yogurt run that was only supposed to take like half an hour to an hour ended up taking like three. Gotta love old friends.

Hi, guys.

Mowning!

G'morning!

Dingalingaling Morning guys! Wow it feels good to have a lie in. How's everyone?

I started the book last night, went out for dinner for three hours, and am already at 2.6k. This method = awesome.

What method, Tally?

The one I've always used, the one I swear by, the one I tell you about every time you ask that question: 30 minutes without touching the internet (or thirty minutes on WoD, or basically thirty minutes without any distractions, not even coming on AW or going on Skype), and then thirty minutes of rewarding yourself with internet. The only internet allowed during the writing time is a five click google search for research.

What do you think of this synopsis of a sort: Olivia Button has always lived a boring life, even when she attends intense boarding school St Helens. When her best friend goes missing, it's up to her to find out who took her and to get her back. But even a mission this strong can't help her attraction from Andrew, the moody and mysterious boy in school who's just joined and barely speaks to anyone. It's always the quiet ones.

Honestly, it doesn't really say much, Kath. It's rather vague.

Fair enough. it was only an idea.

HP Soundtrack - SO motivational

Well, I can't really judge an idea, can I? It's only in your head.

Ah, that method. I thought it was a new one. XD

Nope. It's just perfect.

And it's flexible -- in that you can change the reward depending on your mood.

Well, I guess. But the reward shouldn't take longer than the amount of time you were writing for, IMO.
3.4k!

So, for example, roughly 50 minutes of Glee - change to an hour - an hour of writing.

ETA: Where's that quote in your siggy from?

Just found it on google.

But Lisa, you shouldn't take what I say-- or what anyone says-- as being right or wrong. I mean, look at the other quote in my siggy.

Yes.

And... writing again in five minutes! When I reach 5k I'll watch DW.
