Scribbles and Updates

Hey All, Just a heads up that I'll be taking WDC down on Sunday. I was supposed to do it last week [on the 1st] but didn't get around to it. So reread now/read for the first time if you've been meaning too. IWOAK 35 is about 1/4 done, aim is to have it out before August. Hope all is well!

loyal forever and always: I am flattered that my writing helps to give you inspiration and I'm sorry this chapter didn't work out for you. I know a lot of  people were missing Missy and AJ but in this situation I found it would be better  for all eyes to be on Judi though I get what you mean when you say these past few chapters haven't been up to my usual work. Thanks for the review and I hope the  newest chapter works better for you.    Sarah: The problem, in regards to it feel like it's going on forever is my pacing. I get ideas for a lot of little scenes that probably should just get cut so that  the story is tighter. There is a resolution coming and quite soon.    I can't lie, your review rubbed me the wrong way but only when you started  explaining the point of the review button, especially since I don't think I've  ever attacked someone for giving their honest opinion. You told me how you felt and regardless of wheth...

IWOAK has been updated, tell me what you think! There's a bit of AJ and Jared, very little Missy but the next chapter is where she's going to shine and I might post some of the rejected scenes/openings for this chapter where she had a bit more shine. Hope you like it!

So, next update will most likely be next week, I have to do some reshuffling and I'm really hoping I'll be hit with that 'bing!' moment and I can rewrite everything so you can get that moment of excitement throughout because I feel that moment has been missing for a while. This whole story needs a rewrite, the earlier chapters just need to be tightened and fixed to match my current style but some of the newer chapters need to be written to capture the moments of the older ones better. Like, you know when you read a cute scene and you get that little thrum and it's just awesome? I want to be able to write that back. Sigh, but this story ends in two chapters, three if we count the epilogue and I'm not too sure I'll get back into the groove but it will be fixed in the rewrite. Anyway, to make up for not being able to update today, I thought it would be fun to show you guys one of the alternate openings for this story . I think I like this opening a bit be...

Hey all, So chapter 34 is coming along. It's actually pretty much done but I did all the typing on my cellphone on the ride too and from work and now I'm trying to catch all the typos on a real computer when I have the time, but my spellcheck is being sometimesish about catching the mistakes, even stupid ones that are a result of my thumb hitting the wrong button so hopefully I can get it all cleaned up and finished for this weekend but if not, next week for sure. Now, I don't know how many of you have heard, but there was an incident at a mall in Toronto that is basically the major mall for the city. Everyone goes there. It's a three minute walk from my work and when you're in highschool it's a 'destination' mall. You know when you want to hang out somewhere but the mall by your house isn't cool enough so you go to the bigger mall downtown and you're overly excited while trying to act like you shop there all the time? That mall. There was ...

NOTE: For some reason, fp disabled all of my alerts so I'm guessing they probably did that for a few other people as well. If you didn't receive an alert for chapter 33, double check your alert settings. IWOAK 33 quotata : since I can't respond via fp, I meant that he said fine quietly when he told her mother a 'quiet fine', lol. Sorry for the confusion. IWOAK32 wateva : Thanks :) Lily : Considering the length of my chapters, it's quite a feat to read the majority of the story on a cell, lol. I have no intention of dropping this story, it's about 3 chapters from the end and I will finish it even if it's taking me forever. I'm glad you're enjoying the story, thanks for the review! Grumpirah : To them Chris is their actual blood, and so they take his side even though he has a history of being wrong. Not all of them, mind you, but enough to make it frustrating. Thanks for the review! i guess: I'm not sure what you mean by you were ...

IWOAK 33 I decided to just post the first half of chapter 33 since it's about 5K and it's a decent chapter, and what with work who knows when I'll be able to actually get the second half typed up and posted and I already missed posting for April. So, review replies for 32 will be a bit late in coming as I have a family get together tonight but I hope you guys like the chapter! WDC So, I started cleaning this bad boy up and it started to turn into a full blown rewrite and I'm liking it quite a bit better. I'm contemplating entering it into a couple of contests to see how it fares and then querying agents OR going straight epub with the cleaned up version. But if I go epub I want it to be as professional as possible, so cover art, no errors grammar or continuity etc.  and since we all know how I am with time management that might be a bit of a bust. Oh vell. Hope everything is good with you guys!
