Your avi bears a remarkable resemblance.
ETA Also, Ted is extremely handsome and popular and smart and loyal. And shallow, but that's OK, because it also means he is never deceitful.

Sorry, I was hungover from too much cake.
I made a raspberry crumble thingy last night, which as it turns out is better this morning.

Isn't it pretty?
There are lovely people here at AW.

*opens box with an assortment of chocolate* Chocolate anyone? Anyways, I'm new to AW and I started writing a novel but I'm suffering from a severe case of writers block. Other than that, not much has happened besides my grandfather passing.
Oh and I'm also learning french!

Well my main character Elisabeth killed two people. One of her friends Luc found out so she killed him too (well she thinks she killed him). I plan to bring him back later as the antagonist. I want her to end up in the hospital because of the gunshot wound but I'm not sure where I should take it after that. Here are the last few lines of the latest chapter.
"There’s banging at the door. “POLICE OPEN UP.” I don’t move. I can hear them breaking my door down. There are people running up the steps. One look at this room and they’ll know what I’ve done. A man walks in. It’s my dad. “YOUR—” he stops. Another man walks in. I hear a gunshot. It’s cold again. Everything goes black."
I've been stuck for about 6 weeks so I'm open to any suggestions!

I like to think of the worst possible thing that could happen to my MC at this point, even (especially!) if it's totally implausible. More than once I've thought "Oh, I can't do THAT," and of course it turns out to be exactly what the story needed. At the very least, it gets me out of a rut in my thinking.
to Kaiya.pl!Sorry for the late reply guys, but thanks for the advice and the warm welcome! I actually did come up with something. It came while reading a few of the books I have in the house. How has your day been guys? Tell me all about it.

I wrote way more words than I thought I would because the manuscript was at 13,000 and I needed it to be 14,000 because 13 is unlucky and despite being completely rational I'm really superstitious.
And cats slept on me. It was nice.
My tribe. I was trying to explain to my boss why it's comforting to have a cat on you and he was all BUT IT'S A CAT and I said yes, but the purring and the peacefulness and the stroking of fur and he was all BUT IT'S A CAT so we agreed to disagree. He doesn't know what he's missing.

<stealths into thread>
Dogs are better.
<flies out>
Dogs are indeed awesome.
But when the cats get up at 4:00 in the morning, I don't have to take them outside.
But you guys, you have seen Ana on Facebook doing her clever, sweet little destruction of the Christmas tree. Who could resist that face?!
I have a vague feeling that Muse and Namatu just might prefer dogs.
I mean, I might be wrong. Don't spread it around. But I can't shake the feeling.

Darn it, what gave it away?
Dogs are nice, but cats are better. Or at the very least think that they are far superior to dogs, humans, everything...
