How in the world...? How'd it happen? Have you reported them?

Some person (I reckon a woman 'cause my phone was bright pink) broke into the house with a screwdriver or something. AGGGGGH. :mad:

In other news, I now have a notebook for Underdogs to plot in. Tonight though, playlist constructing via YouTube.

A world of pure imagination...
I got to sleep in today and catch up on most of the lost sleep, a friend may be coming over to make dinner with me in a little while, and I had a ton of fun with friends and roommates last night. ...I even feel like maybe I can work on AM today! :D

I was about to start on Lifelike for a bit. But I think I'm going to let myself play Persona 4 for about an hour and THEN work on Lifelike. I'm really craving that game right now.

That was my goal last night. I was dead set on working more on the House... but then i got tired.... after all i did drive for 3 hours... oh well I'll start on it today after dinner...

You guys want to help me out with something?

Could you rate these from 1-7 the lowest being least scary the highest being the most

1) Placed back physically in the worst time in your life reliving it all over again
2) People you know are dead, suddenly come and try to kill you
3)Ghosts of dead loved ones come back begging you to join.
4) Horrorfying creatures straight from a nightmares hunt you down
5) Your most irrational childhood fears come to life (dolls, clowns, booggie man)
6)Rational fears come to kill you (spiders, snakes, dogs, hell ect...)
7) your best friends (or who you think are your best friends) start trying to kill you

i dont find that strange i've had book live me feeling chronically depressed because of the sad endings. I think you know you write an awesome story and book when your readers feel like they actually entered the story... that's my goal for my series

I don't think it's meaningful to rank something as subjective as fears. Personally, I'm more afraid of wasps than of anything on that list. How scary those scenes would come across in fiction depends on how well you write them.

Yup! You make people feel emotions in a scene by having them empathize with a character, then have the character feel the emotion. Drawing them in and then hitting them with horrible things.

And yeah, you should be scared of wasps, Para.

Wasps are fucking evil incarnate.

As are these bastards.

well i'm going on an hourly system. (7pm being nothing while 3am my characters wanting to commit suicide to escape.) Wasps would fall under rational fears, same as mine of spiders. I understand fears are objective but I'm looking for an overall favorite or least favorite with my list.

They fly insanely fast. Like 25 miles an hour.

And their sting contains flesh melting neurotoxin.

They're evidence A that there is either no god, or he really hates us.

Ally, you know your characters best, so I think it's better to follow the order in what you think will be best for your characters. This is one of those things where a poll doesn't truly matter. Like Para said, fear is subjective, so different peoples' rankings won't really help you.

ETA: I don't know if I made any sense. I think I just did circle logic or whatever it's called >_<

Zoom, that thing doesn't even look real. I feel like I could pluck it from your hand and make it into a brooch. (Wait, not 'your hand', but whoever person that hand belongs to).
