Hey guys wow it's been literally forever since anyone posted in here. ; n ; '' but I was missing you all a lot and wanted to stop in and say hiiiiiii and I was thinking about maybe doing a family project of some sort to get us back in the game ;o hehe. What about making a family MEP or even having a group MSN / Skype chat?? idek i just miss you guys a ton /rolls around on the floor and cries

It's an offer I can't refuse. I'll be out on Black Friday and will definitely pick it up. I don't have a 3DS yet but might get one for Christmas so it will be worth it to have for the future (as well as I'll feel good for buying it finally even if I have to borrow my friend's handheld for it haha).

Here a couple of themes/ideas if they're acceptableeee.

• Parody or retelling of classic stories
• Paring down, or revision of a longer short story or even novel into a flash fiction piece
• Ekphrasis or writing about art

Keeping up with the word count is really ridiculous at times. I might go to an all-night-write this weekend since I have to have my novel finished for class as well as personal satisfaction and I'm majorly behind.

I feel like the most appropriate way to answer some of these starter questions is as a nanowrimo participant, which is where I currently am. Plot's a really tough thing to both define and discuss because it can be so different or so alike in so many stories. To answer to the third question about stories I've written before I have to say that really, I haven't finished most of the stories I've started. Currently, though, I'm really lost in a sea of PLOT.

With nanowrimo this year, I feel like I'm being tossed around multiple short stories in my narrative rather than continuing through a set plot. I've been switching up where I am a whole lot, and a lot of my narrative focuses on three or four separate stories at once. I don't know if I should pick one story and stay with it or if I should keep on just writing whatever pops into my head first. The plots I find most interesting are often those that are paralleled through different stories told in one narrative. I can't think of a good example now but I'll add one later if I do. I don't feel like I'm accomplishing that, however, in my story, and I wonder if other people have a hard time sticking to a coherent and singular plot.

One big thing that I've always told myself while writing or reading is that deep down, everything is some sort of love story. What drives plot is the desire or love of the protagonist and antagonist. However: romance seems way overdone in books. I feel like every book I read ends up being some sort of dissertation on how everybody needs love. At times it's really unnecessary. Once again I'll add one if I get a better example, but since I read it yesterday the first thing that comes to mind is Shadow of the Giant by Orson Scott Card. I was immediately turned off when I read many of the more romantic parts. I felt they weren't needed. Some were, to explain the diplomatic moves of various countries in the books and to describe the loss of the main characters when they split, but overall many of the scenes were there for the sole purpose of including romance.

I dunno, I'd like to hear some opinions on whether to move to focus on just one story or keep going with all of my stories and also some opinions on overuse of romance as the most prevalent part of a book and how that obstructs plot. Sorry for derailing a bit from the questions as I wrote out this reply ; - ;

Super duper excited for writing contests to be back! I'm going to try and enter them all now that I have some time and inspiration to get writing again. Also: my nanowrimo profile

ok like on a number scale from one to ten, with one being liberal and ten being conservative, Canada would be considered like negative two if the USA is around five (as most are moderate).

I'd ship it I guess.

i hope that someone would notice i guess. probably no one would though. it would be a while. i tend to give people the silent treatment when angry so people would think i was angry with them.
well all one person that i talk to daily would.
idk i guess a few people would know because of my facebook though?
it depends on how i die i guess. :v ;;
