Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

Yeah. I'm thinking of writing it in parts, like multiple journal entries or something. But I've had like a week to do it (whoo procrastination), which means it can't look/sound like I put it together really fast.

How much do you know about the 19th century? Is it 19th century Europe or America? Definitely use letters, and try make the most of what you know. Artificially manipulate the situation so you won't have to make up things.

I was watching TV and I'm kinda tired, so I'm going to bed. 'Night, guys.

'Night, Lisa!

It's 19th century Europe. The only information I have is whatever is in my textbook, which isn't much. I can't find a lot of information online, either. So there will be a lot of puffing up sentences involved.

Can I just say that I love Wednesdays so ridiculously much? They're seriously like my favorite day of the week.

Sweet! What's going on, BG?

Well, first of all I found out my social dance final (which is one of the few finals I was kinda looking forward to as it was) has been changed. Instead of passing off one of the dances we've worked on this semester, we're having a dance. We're supposed to dress up (like, skirts/dresses), and our teacher's trying to get dance cards that we'll fill out the class before.

Then I had two hours of choir instead of one, which was just very....happy making (to quote my best friend), an hour and a half of Latin Dance Club, and then just went to Quiznos with a friend I hadn't seen or talked to in forever. And my meal was $2.50 (for a flat bread sandwich, small salad, chips, and a drink). ...Plus I got to see my best friend's dad (who I really like. Besides which, it's only by seeing his family that I get the info on what's going on in my friends life (he's in Canada until next November)).

The author I'm interning for sent me a gift box that has pears, truffles, moose mix (it's like this chocolate covered popcorn-looking stuff, mixed nuts, and chocolate covered cherries. Yummy.

I have so much homework to get done tonight. I have 3/4 of my English, all of my math, bio, and geography to still do. It's all due Friday, and tomorrow I'll be gone babysitting all day. Just thinking about it makes me tired.

if it makes you feel better i have a seminar in front of my class tomorrow. Which is just a really long intense presentation. And a 7 page research paper on hemophilia A due soon... at least i have two pages of it written....

Not to mention that the ACS (American Chemical Society) exam is coming up in TWO WEEKS! I"m scared shit less of that damn test. They shouldnt have one test decide if your going to pass college!

I thought I was done with my History paper, but my teacher just emailed me and said that I need way more details (I sent the essay to her to get feedback). And now, I shall go cry in a pit of homework.

This was the same history paper as before? At least your teacher sounds nice. Feedback is so important for learning.

Also, you have the best job Zoe.

Hi, guys.

I am so determined to finish my children's short story today, so I can start writing the awkward first kiss scene. If I don't, I'm just going to write a summary of it at some stage.

Hello, everyone! Lisa, I bet you can do it.

Thanks!

No problem. How are you?

I'm good. Pumped! What about you? How's the writing going?

I am doing okay. Trying to figure out how can I write a story set in Paris if I've never been there. I know research is key, but I don't want to sound like a page from Wikipedia.

Do you know anyone that's been there?

I am wondering whether I should write the kiss scene in the main document or have it in a seperate document and then have a folder for later scenes. I don't usually write out of order you see.

I generally write extra scenes in a separate document, but that's just me. I don't write out of order often, either.

Nope, never met anyone from there or talked to anyone who has been there before.

It's only because I REALLY WANT TO WRITE THAT SCENE. It's several chapters away, and there's no exciting scenes before that that I have in my head.

Maybe you could search for images that capture what you want to write about Paris. It might not help much with concrete facts, but might help with descriptions.

That sounds like a good idea, Giddess.

That is a really good idea, goddess! Thank you.
