I'm a fan of Tally's words about my query. Made me laugh my ass off.

The Kidd · 09-05-2011, 01:50 AM

UGH CMRH is a very good idea :P

Arianna Sterling · 09-05-2011, 01:57 AM

What Kidd said

lisalulu09 · 09-05-2011, 02:00 AM

Thirded.

The Kidd · 09-05-2011, 02:01 AM

Ari, I started reading Weeping and I'm enjoying it so far

KarlaErikaCal · 09-05-2011, 02:02 AM

I meant my non-romance ideas from before I officially became a romance writer.

But I do like CMRH's idea a lot

Arianna Sterling · 09-05-2011, 02:02 AM

Glad to hear it! I need to get started on my beta stuff in a little while, including Grimace. I've been all over the place since yesterday and very distracted.

ETA: Ohhhh. Well Karla...we all have those regrettable early ideas. (I'm guilty of what was prettymuch a rip-off of Sailor Moon blended with Magic Knight Rayearth. Including random people who are naturally blonde, but 100% Japanese.)

The Kidd · 09-05-2011, 02:05 AM

Yeah. And Of Pads and Fingers was pretty much 40k words of nothing happening XD. I do have characters in there I want to salvage...one day.

Thanks Tally it wasnt too Harsh, actually it was just the kind of response that brings up my many questions on how to write this query for such a complicated and twist fulled book like mine... Also answered you confusion on the title the Monsters.

micahcannibal · 09-05-2011, 02:11 AM

Hey Heyy

Anybody doing anything fun for Labor Day?

lisalulu09 · 09-05-2011, 02:11 AM

Hi!

Thalia · 09-05-2011, 02:12 AM

there is no labor day down here

amlptj · 09-05-2011, 02:12 AM

no nothing fun...

I'm just racking my brain about my query letter all while trying to write TH and deal with my grandmom's birthday party.

lisalulu09 · 09-05-2011, 02:14 AM

I am English. 'Nuff said.

The Kidd · 09-05-2011, 02:20 AM

Weathering a tropical storm and going to work because my boss does not believe in off days.

Thalia · 09-05-2011, 02:22 AM

I hear ya, Kidd. I've been through that with snowstorms (we'll see how my new school reacts to tropical storms).

Arianna Sterling · 09-05-2011, 02:24 AM

I'll be...answering ChaCha questions and meeting up with a girl from my Comp II class, I think. And hopefully writing/beta reading.

Thalia · 09-05-2011, 02:27 AM

Wait, are you leaving? *sadface*

Arianna Sterling · 09-05-2011, 02:29 AM

If you mean me, not right now, no. I have nothing to do tonight other than ChaCha...which I have pulled up in another window.

Thalia · 09-05-2011, 02:32 AM

Okies!

Dayum, I need to get to work on Sin. And figure out what the hell she's up to.

lisalulu09 · 09-05-2011, 02:33 AM

I hate that I keep finding songs that fit the second and third book in the series, though I dunno why I hate it.

Thalia · 09-05-2011, 02:36 AM

dude, they don't need to fit exactly. I played Taylor Swift for a torture scene. It's just about putting on music you like that makes you feel... writerly.

Arianna Sterling · 09-05-2011, 02:41 AM

Yes Tally, yes you do.

And Lisa, prettymuch what she said. I have "This Piece of Poetry Is Meant to do Harm" by The Ark that ALWAYS makes me feel like writing and it is in no way anything like anything I've written.

lisalulu09 · 09-05-2011, 02:43 AM

I'm doing a musical outline - the problem is - I find loadsa songs that fit later in the series rather than Underdogs. It's mostly for inspiration. I mostly listen to albums when I'm actually writing. I have a feeling I'll be listening to a lot of Glee and classic Disney, lol. Except for the 'Matthew in prision thing' scenes.

If you're wondering, I don't feel ready to write it yet. I feel like I'm cheating on Suns and Stars. If that makes sense.

Thalia · 09-05-2011, 02:44 AM

i'm cheating on everything I write all the time. only thing I've never cheated on was MAAH.
