Scribbles and Updates

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  ...

I just wanted to make a general post to thank everyone for the support with the plagiarism issue. It still hasn't been taken down and still hasn't responded back to my message but I still want to thank everyone for taking the time to message her/fanfiction about the issue. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now but I'll continue to work on it and watch her. From the way she hasn't responded I'm getting the vibe she might either just let the story die and continue to 'write' on another site or wait until she thinks the hype has gone down and then post. Either way, I'll be waiting, lol. I hope everything has been going well with everyone and again, thanks for the support <333.  Click for story status updated and a look at AJ's POV.

It Was Only A Kiss Stalled. I have about 500 words written but it doesn't feel right for an opening. I don't know if I should jump a head a few days and give her a chance to gain control or go right into her confrontation with her parents and even that is iffy since her dynamic with her parents makes her reactions feel iffy. I'm going to try and write a different scene and then come back to the opening and hopefully by then I'll have figured out what's wrong and won't have to do another 10k scrapping session before it comes out right. Choices Second part of AJ's POV is coming along nicely. I considered doing it in chronological order but honestly I'm pretty much writing his parts as they come to me and since it's a series of one-shots/his memories each scene is strong enough to stand on its own if you've read the main story (I think). When it's finished I'll post it on here first and see what you guys think. Fall For Your Type M...

AJ's POV is coming along, I have the first 'chapter' done and I like it even though I'm still trying to figure out the voice.  I'm going to do a series of really short one-shots instead of trying to get everything down in one go. Currently it has just hit 1,500 words and I like it. The tone is a bit experimental, I'm trying to stay true to AJ's voice but it's being difficult so don't be surprised if each 'chapter' seems different from the first until I hit my stride. The shorter length feels more realistic in regards to his character and I decided to go with third person so that it'll be more distinct from Judi's and because I feel it carries over his feelings a bit clearer since AJ is more of an action person. He plans and then he does, he doesn't really worry about the consequences of his actions which is why he screwed himself over this time. I really need to figure out a title for this. Since it's not going to b...

So this chapter is harder to write then I thought it would be. I know everything that has to happen, and to be honest I've known how this chapter was going to go down from about chapter five, lol. I have scenes written out and dialogue I want to throw in, except all of my scenes and dialogue are for when she finally gets to hear AJ's side of the story. I still need to get her away from the Goblins. I don't want to drag it on like I did with the previous chapter but I'm having issues with making it realistic while holding the tension. Ugh. I was really hoping to have it ready for the end of this month but I don't see that happening right now since I'm not even half way finished, on a good note, I did finish the first 'chapter' of AJ's side of things. I'm going to make another post for that though. I'm also hoping to have IWOAK29 done for May so I can keep up my posting once a month thing going on as well as possibly post a few one shots ...

So I haven't gotten a lot of writing done with the current chapter as I have about a week left of school so I've been working on assignments/studying but once I get back home that's top priority [alongside the job hunt]. I have, however, gotten about halfway through AJ's one-shot although I still need to give it a title. Also, Missy's story has a title [Fall For Your Type] and if I can figure out the conflict it should be a go go, lol. I hope everything is going well with you guys, and I'm hoping to have something up sometime during the first two weeks of May. 

So I'm over halfway finished chapter 28. I currently have 8946 words of an expected 13 000 finished. I've also written out most of AJ's one-shot, I just need to type it up which will be done after the chapter is complete.  I'm aiming to finish the majority of my class assignments this weekend and then just focus on the chapter.  Also, I found the first person version of that wedding snippit I put up a few posts back. The voice in this one is stronger than third person (I feel) but the descriptions are lacking.

Currently chugging along, got the opening down although that might change depending on how the rest of the story flows. I always find the beginning chapters of 'major' events difficult because should I just jump right in? Do we want a build up and then the event? Can you do both? And I tried to do it from them being at the event and starting from her waking up so I could start tying things together but it just felt like too much and I asked my sister and she told me I didn't need any more build up for this story, lol.  As well, I have decided  I'm going to try my hand at writing a one shot for AJ. I don't know how this is going to turn out because he is not open with his feelings, or at least soft feelings, so it should be interesting. I have an idea to either write it from when he decides to use her so we can see where his mind's at and how he notices her for the first time or during show and tell. If it turns out I can actually write from his voice [note...
