Hey all,

Super quick update. I've written a new outline for FFYT (Missy/Vince story) that I think is cute and follows a theme I had started in IWOAK which I'm sure y'all will figure out as soon as you read it, lol. I'm making it my project for my writing course so hopefully that'll be a great way to get further along in the story while improving my writing overall.

It's an interesting class in that it feels like there aren't any actual lessons the way I'm used to or even assignments the way I'm used to (you don't get grades, just teacher feedback) so on one hand having deadlines is good for me since I didn't drop all that money just to waste it, on the other hand it doesn't feel like I'm learning anything I don't know.

But I'm writing which is what I want and one of my biggest fears about writing courses was having someone try to change my writing style which I guess would happen if we got actual level grades.

Sidenote: has my worked been reviewed/boosted on any other sites lately? The past few months I've been getting faves/follows on IWOAK and I haven't updated that in like a year and there's no new info on it but quite a few people who I'm not familiar with have reached out about it. I'm just curious since I googled myself and nothing new popped up and I just hope these guys aren't expecting me to put up a story that is still being torn to shreds and reworked, lol.

How's everything with you guys? Read anything good lately? I've started a new job recently so my reading is once again on the back burner but I might start rereading The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley although the last time I tried to reread an old favourite it didn't stand up to the test of time sadly.

    I haven't seen your work anywhere but if I do I will let you know.
    I totally get the fear of rereading, lol. That happened to me with Sidney Sheldon's Master of the Game. I loved it so but on a second reading it was... less than spectacular.

    Good luck with you're class!

    Glad to hear you're enjoying the writing class, sounds like things are going well.

    If you're getting new faves it may just be from people searching specifics in what they want to read, i know i do that every now and again.

    I'm doing good but been stuck on the skull throne for months, almost done now (yay me)

    Keep going and thanks for the update

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
