Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

Congrats!
*sigh* Three more years...

Thanks Para and Zoe! *huggles*

Yep, Choco. When we were getting ready to do the procession I told everyone that "Our childhoods are ending in two hours" and they were like "Ugh! MJ!"

thanks. zoe, you can make it!

And Bec & Para-- Childhood ending? A-a-a-a-adulthood starting?

Scary but yes, wonderful. At least it feels that way right now.

Exciting. Really, really exciting!

I didn't even cry last night (I think that has something to do with the out-of-body experience I was having, but still...). I expected to bawl my eyes out.

I think I am still in shock. (a good shock. All I can think is "good riddance!" to high school, but still. huge chunk of my life coming to an end, here). I didn't cry either.

hmmm. *puzzles over WIP* my wip does not make sense, even to me. things aren't connecting in a coherent way, sigh. /CONFUSION

Same here. I am really happy to be done with it.

Ooh! WIP troubles? I'm getting ready to to start my WIP Monday, so I'll be getting ready to have those too. Did you outline?

my wip is continually in trouble

I don't outline (I've tried) but it's a plot problem, as always. My WIP isn't a story yet, just some scenes, and moving forward from here will be too hard until I figure out the plot more. the why and the how. hmm.

Ooh, new WIP! What's it about?

I can't do too much outlining and I can't completely ignore outlining. I just use that Save the Cat beat sheet (and occasionally I'll jot down a major thing that happens for each chapter, if I do much more than that I'll feel like I've already written the story).

You'll get it. I know you will.

Hehe. Not exactly new. I'm taking lil' old Escapist and it's sort of a complete re-imagining of it. So I guess it is new (except a few key things).

EDIT: Oops! I killed it.

I JUST GOT AN AWESOME HAT OF AWESOME. IT IS SO AWESOME THE DOCTOR WOULD BE FLOORED BY IT'S AWESOMENESS, AND RIVER WOULDN'T EVEN SHOOT IT.

Oh yeah.

Cool about the almost-new WIP! And your way of outlining

*tries to write* I don't understand how I'm capable of this. Hours and hours of sitting in front of a blank screen, and only a few sentences. How do I waste so much time and get so little accomplished? My lack of productivity knows no bounds.

Sounds just like my lack of productivity.

I should really be writing a blog post right now. Instead I'm doing college orientation stuff. I guess that counts as productive...kind of.

Tally, I have Season One of Glee on DVD.

I am watching TV, playing games and sort of writing.

It's better than a FEZ?? XD

You'll get it Choco. Maybe you're being too hard on yourself. Maybe try free-writing?

I have trouble getting started, but once I do...I'm usually okay.

Yay Lisa!

Oh, it's definitely better than a fez. I basically wandered around Urban Outfitters piling tops on my head and looking at skirts.

I haven't started watching it yet. I have 28 days to take it back if it doesn't work, but it's watching it that's the problem. As rewards, while I'm writing, what? It's 20+ episodes, for God's sake!

How about you write and do nothing but write for 30 minutes straight, then watch an episode?

Not even AW/FB...?

ETA: No internet, and put Glee on every half hour after writing. Or it might be an hour, or even more. I'll see how I feel tomorrow. It will mean I might not be on for a while, especially if I switch between my laptop and the TV.

ETA2: The Glee version of Teenage Dream makes me both dance in my seat and type away like a crazy woman.

Wakey, wakey thread.

I'm still here for a little while.

ETA: And now I am going to go to bed. 'Night, guys.

YAY!

You guys (and Klaine) are making me want to get into Glee.

EDIT: Aw...hehe. Well, night!

Well then do!

BTW, The Lion King is my favorite movie.

I leave for one day and I miss the beginning of a new part of the thread.

OH. MY. GOD. I just watched the new Doctor Who. My mind exploded. It needs to be next Saturday. It needs to be next Saturday NOW. THEY CAN'T END IT THAT WAY.

Holy shit HR, I've been reading spoilers but HOLY SHIT.

WAIT. Don't we have to wait for next Saturday to see the episode that's airing tonight in the UK?

...Yeah, on television.
