Cheering you all on!
And my last android boy to remain innocent has just figured out about sex, lol. It's cute. And awkward. I kind of love it, except now I have to be conscious of it from a boy's perspective.

Congrats,Sage!

No word yet on my full and since I've finished the trilogy,I had to find something else YA to work on.

I have pulled out a trunked half done novel about a Comanche warrior and the daughter of a Buffalo soldier who had a forbidden love but never lived to see it all the way through.

Now they are reincarnated in modern day Oklahoma and in high school.

I shall have to make a soundtrack for this one!

Hurray! I love forbidden love stories.

Sigh, hit a roadblock in the novel today. I just can't seem to get these two characters to meet in a way that doesn't feel organic or cliched. Should I move on to another section or not and not write chronologically?

whatever keeps you writing - you can always come back to where you left off. :Hug2:

I agree, totally!

Keep writing, Lucia. Come back to it later. Sometimes scenes have a way of creating themselves once the rest of the story is underway. Good luck. :)

Sometimes I have to just write the cliche version to get it out of my head and then move on with the story. Then a few days or weeks later, a better version will pop into my head and I rewrite.

Your Hunger Name is Sage Hugglewood. You were killed in the 53rd Hunger Games by being stabbed in the back by your lover.
How does it know me (and my novels) so well?

There's clearly some formula and mix and matching. My guess would be that there's a series of first names, one or two series of last names, a number and something you die from. I've seen people post repeated deaths (literally dies from angst, for example, is one that I noticed more than once)

I died because I went swimming after eating. I made it to the 71st game. Ummm, why in the world would I go swimming after eating? I should've had more experience than that.

Not if you were from whatever district lives in the desert ;)

That's right, blame the desert. :wag:

My name was Parsley Trapperkeeper. I was a District 10 tribute in the 55th Hunger Games and I was killed by acid rain.

I was Foog Troubleport and I was from District 11, the 53rd Hunger games - and I died by taking a walk off a short pier.

:rolleyes:
