Are you a runner? I run about 12 miles a week, but have never done more than 3 or 4 miles at a time. You will do great. Do you wear costumes to these things? Some people do.
Costumes? No, but now I kinda want to find a race that encourages it. You mean like Halloween or SFF convention costumes?
I'm a runner as of, uh, March. But I'm working towards the Disney Princess half-marathon next February. I usually do 3-4-mile runs.
The mc of Bunheads talks like Lorelei Gilmore if that helps any... It's cute (a little awkward weird). I'm probably going to review it tomorrow
Also, Mel, re: What's L3ft 0f Me cover/coloring- The real issue I had was with the spine. You literally cannot read the title if you see it on the spine
It makes me really sad because I enjoyed the book but it might be hard to want to pick up just by spine if you can't read the title.
Now I want to check out the show.
That's too bad about WLoM's cover. The book sounds fabulous.
I think I'm one of the only people who doesn't come up with a playlist for my novels. It's weird because I'm such a big music nerd. I have a soundtrack for my own life, but when I'm writing all I hear is silence.
There are definitely lots of writers without soundtracks. One of my write-in peeps tells me "I don't get the soundtrack thing," every single time it's brought up. I don't usually listen to my soundtracks while writing, though, unless I need inspiration from a specific song.
I *need* music to write. Even if its like 3 AM.
I do not understand people who can write without music or background noise. I mean...how do you work?!
I can work without noise, but I work better with music. For writing, my headphones on and the Doctor Who soundtrack playing leads to my best productivity.
I hate insta-love.
That is all.
TM has one-sided insta-love. But it's really more a commentary on it, since the BOIS are programmed to fall in love with a specific girl, and Taylor spends the book questioning whether that's okay.
I had insta-love in my WIP from early April. There's a reason that story falls flat on its face. And then after it falls flat on its face, it facepalms itself to death and Mary Sueness.
I'm brave enough to admit that
*applauds*
I'm at 44k on book #2. Almost done. Another battle scene and all is well
Yay, keep going!
I wish there was a cat emoticon here....(there's only that dog one)
