progress and new site

-
So, no update on IWOAK, that's still moving along, bumped into a few voice issues but I'm rewriting and working on that and hopefully it'll make Judi's reactions more realistic based on the character I've created without messing up everything I have planned out.


What makes it really frustrating is that I finished the chapter, it's written out and everything but it just feels wrong. I'm most likely going to cut the opening scene because the voice doesn't sound like Judi at all there and it feels pointless. I'm hoping I can get it figured out and smoothed over by this weekend.

In the meantime, here's a website that is dedicated to stories with black females in the lead with a large focus on interracial stories. I haven't been on it for long but it looks like it has something for everyone, and you don't have to be a member to read and review.

    No problem, I found it and figured there are probably a lot of people looking for a site with a strong black/interracial focus.

    And yeah, things are going to get a bit wild on IWOAK, it should be fun.

Here have some Judi

Hey y'all, Happy Easter if y'all celebrate it, if not I hope you're having a good weekend! I know it's been a while and I'm not going to bother with excuses, just going to provide writing updates. I've decided to treat Judi and Missy's stories as a series. Their stories can stand alone but they connect slightly through each other and I figure it makes it easier to show they're connected if they have a series title. As a result I've renamed Missy's story to flow better with Judi's (and talks to the plot of her story). I give to you: "Fall For Your Type" Book 1 : It Was Only a Kiss Book 2: It's In His Kiss (IIHK) Below the cut I have a IIHK snippit that provides you guys with a spoiler regarding what Judi has been up to (but is spoiler free on what's going to happen in Missy's book). Read at your own peril -- it's an unedited first draft and even some names still need to be figured out. This is

the plagiarist

Has not responded to me or taken down the story/chapters with my work and fanfiction hasn't responded back either or taken her work down so here's hoping that if enough people make a fuss it'll disappear. Her story is based in the world of Highschool Musical and is about someone with an eating disorder and a jock who's dad beats him. The girl with an eating disorder is hers I believe, although, I don't know if she has just stolen that character from someone else.  The author is the orangecarebear and her story that has bits stolen from me is here to stay starting from chapter three , Troy's POV. Troy is Adrian since the majority of his scenes are the ones I wrote and she just altered names and removed any scene that had to do with Elliot. I posted When Doves Cry on fictionpress September 4, 2007. She posted her story November 6, 2010. She has other stories up as well but if she has plagiarised anything from anyone else I'm unfamiliar with the orig

Frustration and Musings

-
Hey guys, I know I haven't posted in 6 months but I'm honestly fed up with myself and my inability to get past the idea/plotting stage of a story to the actual writing. Even forcing my self isn't working. I tried nano and went absolutely nowhere. I'm talking like 6000 words max. However, I've joined a couple of those publisher communities (i.e. swoonreads.com ) where you can post your stories online and depending on community feedback they have voting rounds and if you get high enough your story will be looked at by editors of the publication and then the 'winner' or top book of that period will be published. I'm seriously thinking about  submitting IWOAK to the community and see how it does. Mind you, I might age the characters up a bit, first year uni at the max for Judi and the girls just to make certain aspects of the story more realistic. I'm not sure on that yet, but it's an option, especially since I think there's not  a lot of d
