Teens Writing for Teens, issue 6

It's been...2-2 1/2 months, I think. Something like that. Life just got REALLY crazy, and then school started.

ETA Correction: I just checked my old posts. The last one was June 26. So almost three months.

gah why you abandon me so

well, I hope it's been a good crazy, at least!

BG!!!!

no more classes today I AM SO HAPPY IT'S THE WEEKEND!
-goes to write-

Tacklehugs has replaced the term "bear hug" in my dictionary.

Thanks everyone who participated in the pitch contest! The winners have been up, and requests are already starting to be made. Woot!

So anyway, I'm playing catch-up with everything this weekend. I totally overbooked myself. *runs off*

Awake at 6:30 on a Saturday? ...Very few things could lead to this.

On the plus side: I can now move to writing since I have a chance.

there's a few pitch contests happening:
for any genre of YA:

and a pitch contest for NA:

I might enter both of those
Edit: I just finished the first draft of my synopsis! Woo! #progress

why is it deeeeeeed.

I am sick. and inspired to write. this is quite the conundrum. what does conundrum mean? i'm too sick tah remembah

Hi, guys.

Morning dudes and dudettes

ugh, sick sick sick. had to cancel dinner plans. uck.

Ugh.

I might see if I query/self publish with an old novella. But first, beta readers and then edits!

I sent my first query with a synopsis because I finally wrote the synopsis - whoo!!!!
Now I feel less depressed because now there are so many more agents I can query since I guess more require the synopsis than not and skdjfsdhkfd
I mean I expect a rejection from these people with my track record, but now I can query more people!

I'm going to edit my novella and try and get it published one day or another, but first I need betas. Does anyone want any more information?

The only novellas I've seen recently were being used as promotion for a novel. They're a tough sell because they're more commonly found in anthologies.

Funnily enough, the novella was something I was turning into a series at one point.

New no doubt cd & new mumford & sons cd today - both are so fabulous!!!!

I've been listening to One Direction lately

My RA loves them. I've never really heard any of their music. As far as I know.

"One Thing" is totally the theme song for Stupid Cupid.

'Ello everyone!

It's generally music for teen girls, but I love the relaxed atmosphere of their songs.

I just need to know...

...what happens when the members of One Direction...

...decide to go in different directions?
