Teens Writing for Teens, issue 6

At 8.5K. And moving onto chapter 3! Man this is just flowing out of me. Probably because of the subject matter.

Subject matter?

What the books about.

I know that... but isn't it... romance?

No. It has a lot to do with it, but its not what the books about. Not really.

I actually don't know if there is a genre for this.

Wikipedia is wonderful.

yes yes it is.

So because i've wrote 4.5K today, i'm taking a break! Then onto chapter 3.

That sounds like a good idea.

Yay for breaks!

I think I'll take one once I reach 1k. I bought Divergent the other day and I kind of want to do some reading.

Wikipedia didn't help in this case.

Wikipedia isn't always helpful. Then again it's also not a reliable source because anyone can make changes to the information that's given.

Google is sucking at the moment.

Ally always puts my wordcount to shame.

I have two examples now. I want at least one more...

She puts mine to shame too lol

And mine!

The people in SYW are SO helpful. I now know what to do with my beginning. Just need to work on not changing tenses. Sometimes I don't even realize that I'm doing it.

Okay, now I'm going to be switching between my synopsis and my script.

I have to figure out how to condense Act 1 into roughly two paragraphs when there are two POVs...

ETA: Should I mention Isaac's friends' names in the synopsis?

This week is going to be horrendously busy. The person I used to babysit for just called. So I'm watching her kids tomorrow night, Monday, and Tuesday. Then I'm watching my cousin today and every Thursday and Friday for like two months. Then once I'm done watching him, I'll be watching my moms friends kid from Monday to Thursday all summer (and maybe watching the lady I used to work for's kids on Fridays).

But, as for this week goes, I'm booked except for Sunday. I should really be trying to finish my homework right now, since I won't have time to do it. *procrastination*

Edit- Ahhh! I meant my moms FRIENDS kid.

your mom's kid? wouldn't that make he/she your sibling?

And Thanks guys! hehehehe but i havent written in like 2 weeks so I'm sure this speed wont last for all that long.

I am hoping I will find a choice for the next song as soon as possible after I finish this scene and I put my iTunes on shuffle.

Divergent is sitting on my 'To-Read' shelf at home!

Gah, you guys. I LOVE my boarding school. Got a tour the other day, so amazing and perfect, and they have sushi available for lunch every day included in the school fees. PERFECT.

Tally, silly question, but why are you going to boarding school?

Hood off = cold head
Hood on = hot head

...'cause I want to, I'd like to move, the quality of the education is better than anything my island offers, it's a good experience, 'cause I can, to use as a writing resource... also they have an anime club.

Where is it?

I need to email the people who provided my laptop...
