I've edited previous chapters, written an outline for theoretical Book 2, and essentially done everything in my life but write more words in the direction they need to be going.

*falls down*

"Yes, well, that was... I think we're done now!"
"You have to remember, I was a soldier. I killed people."
"You were a doctor!"
"I had bad days!"

Me and my friend (costar in Hairspray) and jumping-on-the-couch-screaming fangirls. F.U.N.

So, Lisa, I take it you didn't finish MAAH?

I've set a goal for myself tomorrow. No internet until noon. That way, I can get some serious writing done. You may now begin to place bets on whether I can manage. :) And if anyone wants to join, you're welcome to!

Also, I sold my 5th copy of The Perfect Game today!

I'm watching old episodes of Heartland right now... I so much prefer these episodes than the more recent ones. They stick to the book more :p

Hahahahahahaha! All i have to say is you just made my morning! See the first time i gave this to a beta they told me i was drilling in that surprise way too much, so it wasn't exciting. I'm always worried readers might not figure it out, but clearly i'm just over-thinking things like usual!!!

Anyway to answer your question EXACTLY!!!!

YES. That's great. The chapter ending is pretty shocking, but if you reread there are plenty of clues. You can see from my comments (which I've sent back) where I started to get suspicious, but another major clue was the part where the monster asked whose bright idea it was to walk into this obvious ambush. Whose bright idea was it? Rob's! That's a really well-executed twist.

Thank you! I'll check my email! I'm glad you like it! Have you caught onto the scary underlining OMG factor yet? Hehehehe.

I'm going to go read your comments!!! Thanks again!

WOW DUDE.

this is intense. I was straddling a guy on a bed, and it wasn't even 10:00 in the morning!

Why did you have to straddle a guy in bed???? Was he at least hot? Hehehehehe!

In 8th grade i was the Mary in an Easter play and had to hold one of my most hated bullies in my lap... it was sooooooo awkward, and the most physical contact i had with a guy until Will.

Anyway how is everyone today!?

ugh.

my mom told me she had bought me a salad, not a pile of fat. ugh. cheese and dressing and bacon. i could puke.

going without lunch, I guess.

ETA: I'm Penny in Hairspray, I straddle the guy playing Seaweed (my onstage love interest). Is he hot? um... people say he's cute, but he's not my type.

Okie dokie.

Still at rehearsal, but I'm not in the number they're running.

Working on the MAAH synopsis before sending it it along with a full.

I have 500 words in my first chapter. I know this is only a first draft, and it's more of an introduction to everything, but I think it's too short... :S
