I love it too! I went to see it as a panto production last month -- it was fantasic. :D

I'm hoping Sticks and Stones is a unique interpretation of that fairytale!

Thanks!

SO FREAKING CLOSE. I have 5.3 hours until 11:04 p.m. and I have 4.7K left. Totally doable! I've continued to average 500/15 minute session :D

Sorry I keep talking about this guys. Just so excited! This will be a new record for me! 3K > my last record! haha

that's AMAZING, Karla.

I just updated a fanfic my bffl and I have been working on since we were little 12-year-olds. It's a random parody just for fun. But now I'm all in that mode and not in serious, TRL mode.

Gotta keep it capped at 15.5K. Hands. Cramped. Badly. Ouch!

But at least I still broke my previous record! Happy about that.

Right now, using Chinese medicine balls to loosen up my cramped hands....

I'm writing, but it for things I don't know will ever become a WIP. They're just random snippets.

But, I'm going to put that aside, because it's almost tomorrow and I'm tired. Good night.

Hey everyone! I pose a random question: What do you guys think of a query written in two POVs? I'm not querying, just writing this for fun. But my book is in two POVs, so I decided to write the query in two POVs. Thoughts on this tactic?

A world of pure imagination...
I may do a bit of writing in a little while, but I'm too keyed up trying to decide if I'm going to be able to try out for ballroom this semester to think about anything else.

I am seriously 240 words away from hitting at least 17K written today. 8033 to whatever word count I hit by 11:04 to get to 24 hours. I am freaking loopy though. Lack of sleep. Running on nothing but coffee. I have no clue how I'm feeling right now. I know I should feel happy/excited/ecstatic/whatever. But I'm just freaking loopy. Damn. Just one more page. One more page. And then I can SLEEP. I feel bad for pushing myself, but it's not like it's to much effort. I know I can make it. I just want to do it slowly. But I'm sure I'll wake up happy/excited/ecstatic/whatever tomorrow. Probably way into the afternoon. Very long day. Great end to it though! Soon!

I probably won't post again tonight. I might end up rambling about something completely random. So I'll say good night!

Thanks for all the support and congrats and whatnot!

casey - It depends on the story, but usually it's recommended to stick to one POV. The agent will read the second one when they request pages and whatnot
