Scribbles and Updates

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...

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  ...

Hey all, So I'm still pushing through this chapter. Got fed up and I figured I'd share one of the scenes that got cut since it wasn't getting the urgency across and Judi's voice isn't flowing properly. I've reread this story more times these past few months then I have during the years I've been writing it and it still isn't coming to me. I've written almost 20K and not even half of that is usable. So unamused. I don't think there are any spoilers, it's a bit of backstory and there's some violence.  This was one of multiple openings I had written for this chapter, and was going to be the original opening but I scrapped it about a week or two ago.  Scene below the cut:

So I'm about halfway finished 33, I'm aiming to have it finished fairly soon but it's a heavy chapter on all fronts. It's looking like it'll be longer than I intended unless I go off-scene with some things or do flashbacks, and I'm not sure since I feel both AJ and Jared deserve full screen time. We shall see how it works when I finish writing it out. I wanted to have a teaser or cut scene to post but I couldn't find anything that wasn't spoilerish for later on so I thought I'd give you guys the beginning of the chapter. End of chapter 32 she confronts her parents about knowing about  Jared and this continues directly from there.   Do not click if you want to read it all in one go when I actually post on fp. This is about two and a half pages of what will be [unless I get stuck] in the final draft.

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...

So, I don't know if anyone is reading this yet but I'm about a little over 1/4 way through chapter 26. I should be finished it but like I mentioned before I had quite a few false starts so I thought you guys might like a look at one of the openings for 26 that I really wanted to work but I'm trying to tighten up my writing and this is really just backstory that's nice to read but didn't really fit. Not to mention it gets a bit ranty which fits with Judith when she gets caught up about something but again, doesn't add anything to the story. Personally I really like the part of Missy that it shows us, even if it doesn't move the plot along.  So here you go, Missy and Judith bonding with Missy being the one being questioned for a change.
