Writing Passionates discussion

Ever reach a certain point in your story and you get REALLY excited about it and want to tell everybody? Well, I do! So here's a place to brag about your awesome accomplishments!

I'll start!

Tonight, I finally got the plot set in my head! And I came up with a title for my script!!!!! YAYSSSSSSS!!!!!!! It's now called Revolution Déjà Vu.

And it's TOTALLY got a double meaning! Because...well... I don't want to give away what happens... but it's pretty clear that it isn't Jackie's time anyhow. Anyways! It has one meaning, and then the other one is more clear. We all know that Déjà Vu is a french term, right? Well, my script takes place during the french revolution! see the connection?

Okay, okay, I'm done.

lol that rocks.

omg good job veronica!

lol i just got to chapter 21 in gypsy!

nice! BTW, please don't use this as a place for updates so much... unless you are really proud of yourself (like reaching 10k, reaching chapter 20, etc.)

XD thanx. and okay

TODAY I FINISHED THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER HAD TO WRITE IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAD TO DESCRIBE A CITY FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF SOMEONE WHO'S NEVER SEEN ANY AT ALL BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!! It was Chapter Fourteen of my novel Outcast, and I FINISHED IT!!!!

I was soo scared and nervous and didn't know how I was going to write it- this has been BUGGING and BUGGING me for moonths and moonths, since like, LAST SUMMER!! Whoa- ALMOST A YEAR!! WOWIESS!!! I TACKLED AND ACCOMPLISHED AND FINISHED SOMETHING I'VE BEEN DREADING FOR A WHOLE YEAR!! GEE WHIZZ!!! IM SO HAPPY AND PROUD!!!

Okay, I'm SO sorry for sounding so braggy and self-centered in this post. You just have NO idea HOW excited I am!!! :D


---Oh, and a pretty major accomplishment that occured in Outcast just a few days before: I reached 100 pages/50k!!!! Yay I'm so happy!! XD---


WOOT WOOT!! Two accomplishments in one post. I feel so buzzed up right now. :D

*hi-fives Sella and for once, DOESN'T epically fail*

Woot! And it was one of the AWESOMEST chapters!

omg, roni, are you implying you have difficulties with high fives? me too! XD

LOL. ALL the time! I've had some pretty funny screw ups. ;D

XD nice! once i hit the other person in the forehead v-8 style...

Thanks SBG and Roni! One of the awesomest chapters? Really? Cool! That's nice to hear.

LOL, Roni, I suck at high-fives too. But at least you didn't miss this one :D

That's so cool Catherine!! Congratulations!! :D

srry the reason i only posted chs 4 and 5 was bcuz i was in the middle of posting ch 6 when my mom started freaking out and telling me to pack ... cuz we thought we were gonna have to evacuate our house bcuz of the giant brush fire down the street. so as you can imagine i was a little distracted. lol. but ch 6 is posted now. :)

ooo scary!

yah O.o

XD gypsy is officially 120 pages!!

Michelle wrote: "XD gypsy is officially 120 pages!!"

omg mimi thats SOOOOO COOL!! its the longest thing you've ever written, right? wow :D you know, that's EXACTLY as long as outcast!! outcast is currently 121 pages. haha, wow...that says a lot about you!!! you got to the length of a novel i've been working on for a year in....a few months. LOL >< well, i haven't really been working on outcast the WHOLE year...it sat still for a while. i just started it almost exactly a year ago, minus a few months.

I finally named the friendly neighbors. Raymond and Olivier, with their children, Jamie, Rachel, and Jackson (Jackson is open to changing, though... me and my indecisiveness!)

Now to decide on a title...

Congrats! Sometimes finding names is the hardest part...

omgomg gypsy just got to 40k! and 130 pages. lol i didnt even think i was going to get that far. its officially 2x as long as The day that never comes, and took me only 2 months to write so far... this baffles me.

COOL!! GYPSY IS NOW LONGER THAN OUTCAST!! XD wait that doesn't make sense...because outcast is 123 pages, and 60k. And Gypsy is 40k, and 130 pages...do you use really big font or something?

probably. i use a 16 font for like everything cuz i never wear my contacts when im on the computer.

lol :D

uhhh i haven't accomplished much recently ... i keep procrastinating!! O.o

lol same here!! outcast has been in the same spot for like...a week. i REALLY need to get back to it, because my goal is to finish it by the end of april!! (which is NOT going to happen...*siigh*)

i was planning to get to pg 100 of Edge by, like, sunday ... but i'm only on page like 61 right now, so that's not gonna happen. lol

wow, you're already on page 61? wow, that's impressive!! didn't you, like, JUST start it? XD

of course that could happen!! it's not that hard to write 20 pages in a few days, at the rate you're going! :D

now i'm on page 66 i think! or maybe 67 ... ? i don't remember. lol. yeah i did only start it, like, almost a month ago ... according to my computer i created the document March 29th :)

yeaaahhh maybe if i like shut myself in my room with my computer and wrote ALL DAY ... *sighs*

Whoa! You write really fast. Lucky! It takes me SO long. *sigh*
