I'm good.

Last night I had an idea for the final scene, but I still don't have an idea for the end of the main plot.

What's the SNI?

The MC's dreams/nightmares from when she was younger are all coming true.

I only have 100 words written. And I think I want to try outlining, but I'm not sure.

That sounds cool!

Next project, I'm getting some discbound stuff from Myndology and using a notebook and index cards for my plotting.

I normally don't outline, so I don't really know how to go about it. Anybody have any pointers/tips/suggestions?

TALLY???

I have a musical outline. Which is forever changing. And I plot scenes in a notebook.

One of the authors was talking last night about a 3 act structure, but I just have a hard time getting started and keeping with the outline and such.

Okay - I didn't mean for this tgo happen, but my MC's name is now changed from Layla (because I was starting to dislike it) to Jessica. But, the weird thing is that her parents names are Jacob and Jennifer, and her two friends names are Johnand Jared, and she ends up with Jared. I think that it's too many J's...

-.-

If I wasn't busy with stuff for my non-fiction book, I would totally YAWN.

Just shot off my interview questions to a veeeeery popular cosplayer (the girl has 14,000 watchers on Deviant Art!) and now I'm off to the website of a convention I'm spotlighting (largest anime convention in North America). The con chair told me to let him know who I want to talk to and he'll get me in touch with them.

ETA: That is an intense amount of Js.

Definitely too many J names...

ETA: Ari, what does spotlighting mean?

It's kind of amazing how many 'love songs' I have for the end on the Underdogs playlist...

Jessica and Jared... since they end up together, that's kind of strange. I mean, I have a Hailey and Hayden, but their mothers were friends and decided as kids that those were their names of choice, and they don't end up together.

Js in a family is okay, but you should change the others. I mean, imagine if they get in a fight.

"John!" cried Jared, putting an arm around Jessica. "Don't insult Jennifer and Jacob!"

like, see how strange that is? Ooh, and what was the subplot I helped with?

Why did you allcaps my name, Lisa?

That was funny, but that wouldn't happen. XD

And the one where her parents were... Um... Well, the antagonists followers, but I made it only her mother :tongue

Lol, Taylor, I know. It was just to showcase...

I mean, you could make something in the story in which there is a significance in the letter J, in some way, but you'd have to keep that up and not just say it once as an explanation.

Yay, that's awesome~

ETA: Well, Zoe, go check my blog, 'cause there's loads there. If nothing works, lemme know, and it'll be narrowed down.

Bye, Taylor.

The internet always seems to be weird when I need it for something. >.<

Bye Taylor, good luck :D

My Internet is always a jerk. It's just being more annoying than usual right this second.
