OH GOSH I MISSED THE JOSH HUTCHERSON CONVERSATION.
To all you eastern time zone and onward folk, I'm in the future, I guess you can say. And what a great way to finish the year with Toronto losing to Winnipeg Jets and Canada beating the US in the World Juniors. ![]() ETA: TALLY! I'm so sorry about your sister! So many injuries and stuff like that around Christmas here, too. My pops friend died of either a brain aneurysm or a stroke (I haven't heard what actually happened yet) on the day after Boxing Day, and my eat friends nan got ran over by her van before Christmas Eve. Well, it ran over leg, but the funny thing it wasn't broken.... Long edit. But I do hope your sister is alright. Last edited by Taylor_Writes; 01-01-2012 at 08:23 AM. |

Well... My new year started out wonderfully. I should've been in bed hours ago, but I worked on a project instead. ...I knew I missed the guys I hung out with tonight!

I'm peachy. Just playing around with the opening of my YA dystopian. I'm figuring out an awesome scheme for my girl character to run so it can intersect spectacularly with the equally awesome scheme of the boy characters.

Happy New Years everyone... not only is my brother STILL in hospital after his operations, but we just got news that he may have pneumonia. Great start to 2012, eh? It seems the world really is gonna end, since a lot of people are in hospital now. ^_^ (that was a joke, but not a very funny one)

I just found out that Helena Bonham Carter has got a CBE. This makes me very happy. She's a fantasic actress.

Sorry Kat, i hope your brother gets better soon. Pneumonia's not fun, i had it once. Well think about it this way, maybe your getting all the horribleness out of your year early and the rest of the year will be great!

The holidays seem to be disastrous for everyone this year o_O I spent most of the time between Christmas and New years going to the funeral of my grandma. I wasn't all that close to her, so I wasn't particularly sad, just feeling bad for all the people that showed up at the funeral... I felt like they knew an entirely different person than I did.

Oh god I hope so. I mean, I'm coping okay with it, but it's tearing my mum up, despite how well she hides it. I don't think we can take much more of it really. He's been through the works.

YAY! I'm not the only one!
I really keep getting mixed reactions about it because like 9 out of 10 other writers HATE it saying that sentence or two is WAY too telly. But all the non-writers who read it was like "So? What's wrong with it, I know what the guy/girl looks like now, isnt that what your suppose to do?" I agree with you, the biggest thing that pisses me off in books is when i dont know what a characters look like or there age right away. I want to know what the character looks like the moment i read about them so i have that mental picture. And if they dont tell me the details and i come up with my own only to find out i was wrong later on, it just pisses me off. Sorry about your loss Ivi.

I could imagine what its like for your mom. My grandmom was beside herself when my mom had to get her operation two weeks ago. Again i wish your brother you, and your family the best of luck during this time. Don't know if your religious but i'll pray for you guys.
