I would suggest working on something new.

Zoealea · 09-17-2011, 11:45 PM

I think that will help. But I'm afraid I won't get back to LL if I do. That's what happened last time. I was working on the ninja book and then I switched to start writing LL and I never went back to the ninja book because I havent been excited about it anymore.

Arianna Sterling · 09-17-2011, 11:48 PM

If you couldn't maintain excitement about it, maybe it wasn't the right book, at least not at the right time. I got started on Lifelike, but I've realized it's probably not what I'm supposed to be working on quite yet because I'm just not as excited as I should be. It happens.

Thalia · 09-17-2011, 11:56 PM

Exactly, Ari.

So, what are you gonna work on next if not Lifelike?

lisalulu09 · 09-17-2011, 11:57 PM

This is what I was wondering.

Arianna Sterling · 09-17-2011, 11:59 PM

Seahome. Because I am obsessed with the antagonist and can't wait to get his hotness on page.

lisalulu09 · 09-18-2011, 12:00 AM

Hotness?

Arianna Sterling · 09-18-2011, 12:02 AM

I'm just saying he's hot, lol.

lisalulu09 · 09-18-2011, 12:07 AM

I don't get how you can describe the villian as hot. XD

Kyrie · 09-18-2011, 12:08 AM

... very easily.

Arianna Sterling · 09-18-2011, 12:10 AM

Because...he's hot. Why can a villain not be hot? The Master was sexy. Tom Riddle was sexy until he snake-ified himself. Lucius Malfoy had hot going on, and so did Valentine in Mortal Instruments. A lot of villains are like that, really.

In Seahome, Livier (villain) is really good with seduction and whatnot. He's from a douche bag species, is in fact the prince of that species, but he's gorgeous and fantastic at getting what he wants. That's why there's actually something that resembles a love triangle between him, my main character and the actual love interest. (But clearly it is not a real love triangle because it's still pretty obvious he's the bad guy.)

Thalia · 09-18-2011, 12:26 AM

So true, Ari. All my favorite villains are hot. Hell, all my villains are hot.

Allaboutwords13 · 09-18-2011, 12:29 AM

*pops in* Just came by to say 'hey!' and now off to... um... do whatever. lol

Zoealea · 09-18-2011, 12:31 AM

Villains are among the hottest. They are they bad boys. I think my villain is hot.

Arianna Sterling · 09-18-2011, 12:31 AM

Hatter was kinda hot, strangely enough...

Kat, I hope "whatever" means writing.

ETA: I hope your villain is hot. Because yay for hot villains.

And I think Deimos was sorta hot in his own really weird, asshole-ish way.

Zoealea · 09-18-2011, 12:35 AM

Hatter *was* kinda hot. Like... I felt wrong for thinking that. But.... yeah.

Fair point.

You can just ask Zoe what her opinion of Darius is.

Thalia · 09-18-2011, 12:40 AM

Hatter was definitely hot. Don't feel bad. He's quirky/sadistic/out-of-his-fucking-mind hot XD

lisalulu09 · 09-18-2011, 12:40 AM

This is bugging me:

Quote:

There were still groups of other teenagers walking down the street, laughing and joking in their packs. Matthew felt like

Thalia · 09-18-2011, 12:40 AM

Matthew felt like they were laughing at him? I dunno.

lisalulu09 · 09-18-2011, 12:41 AM

OF COURSE.

/stupid moment.

Arianna Sterling · 09-18-2011, 12:45 AM

Yes, Tally, yes he was

lisalulu09 · 09-18-2011, 12:47 AM

Cassius is not hot. He is a creep.

Thalia · 09-18-2011, 12:48 AM

Cassius?

Hot technically only means physically attractive. It can mean they have an attractive way of walking/speaking/etc along with that. Lots of creeps are hot.
