Just finished a very tedious worksheet the sub gave us. Yep. I'm a totally insane Potterhead.

Oh, boy, questions!

What should we call you? Eh, you can call me whatever you want. My screen name, some shortened version of my screen name, whatever. I'm not picky.

How old are you? 14, and a freshie!

What genre(s) do you write? Fantasy and a little Sci-Fi.

No fights. Twihards are cool too.

See yah later everyone. Class is ending in like four minutes, and next period I will have an exam to take and no computer. Oh boy.

Peverell... Ella? Pev? (I'm one of those people who nicknames all )

A freshie? Fresh meat! Nah, just kidding. I'm a sophmore.

So, are you currently writing anything?

Hi Pev! Welcome to TWFT!

4 minutes until I start writing for an hour! I've scheduled myself to write or revise 3 hours/day. So far, the last 2 days since I started scheduling, it's been working.

Gotta finish this baby up!

I've been writing A LOT lately, but most of it has been new or updating fan fiction. I recorded myself speaking a scene for near the end of my WIP which I managed to type up despite how incoherent I sounded when I'd just woken up! lol

Hey everyone.

Hi Pev! welcome to the thread!

GRRRRR! I should have never taken those incompletes... now school starts tuesday and i've barely studied for the two finals i need to make up. This is just getting way to freaking stressful. Sadly every time i sit down to study i get all panicky and then simply start writing to relive my stress... GRRRRR!

Well looks like this semester I'm pretty much taking a 5 month break from writing... How the hell am i going to survive?!

You could write in the middle of the night ? lol

That really sucks, Ally.

Hahahah hey Kat! How are you?

Yeah i could do that. I dont think i could survive 5 months without writting... I just need to make sure it doesnt get in the way of me studying, like its kind of doing now during break.

Make sure you get sleep, though! Losing sleep won't make anything better!

hahahahahahaha i dont sleep! Well trained in the ways of staying up for days with little or no sleep since i was 12. I'm an insomniac

I'm good thanks, how are you? Oh, wait. You've already said. Aw that sucks that you won't be able to write much.

I didn't write at all last semester so I'm planning to make time this one. My goal is to have CT with betas in February.

I'm an insomniac. I started taking medicines to sleep, eventually I used lavender instead.

You might be less stressed if you got more sleep, though. When I DO get a good night's sleep I am so fucking productive the next day. Not even funny.

Nope doesnt work for me. I am an insomniac from stress. When i'm not stressed... which is rare, i can sleep for 16 hours straight every day.

I have a thyroid issue which causes me to be more tired than most. I can easily sleep for 15 hours a day. Then again, it's not like I do much activity during the hours i'm awake anyway. But i LOVE sleep. lol Shame last night was NOT a good time for sleep.

Finally an answer to a mystery that has puzzled me for years: How the heck is Ally always up when I get up in the morning?

I just can't sleep at all, unless I'm in a strict routine. I have lavender-scented stuff under my pillow. I have one specific tea I drink exactly 30 minutes before going to bed. I listen to the same music every night before sleeping. Sometimes I rub lavender on my feet if I'm desperate (I swear that stuff's like a drug)

Ugh. So pissed off now. What good do parents get by pointing things out to their kids apart from pissing them off? seriously? there's nothing i can or am able to do about the issue now, so why bother?! i already know the problem -.-

Sorry, little ranting mode. lol

Has anybody here read The Fault in Our Stars yet?

Never heard of it. No, wait, I think HR mentioned it once?

*hugs Kat*

Thanks

It's the new John Green book, Tally.

No idea who that is.

Is John Green the guy that does work for harry potter fan sites, or am I getting him confused with someone else with a similar name who writes novels?
