OMG CONGRATULATIONS! That's an amaaazing accomplishment!

FORUM PARTY COMMENCE!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!


CONGRATULATIONS JESS!!!!! THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! NOW EDIT IT!!!!!!!!! THEN PUBLISH IT!!!!!!!!!!!! DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!

I'M EDITING, I'M EDITING!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wrote one chapter RANDOMLY in present tense. That was a bitch to edit.

But THANKS GUYS!! I'm so pleased with myself, hahaha

UGH, that's actually a big problem I have. Tense slipping.

That's my BIGGEST problem. My teachers told me that my whole life. I wasn't one bit surprised when I saw that chapter, lol

Hahaha, I imagine what it would be like to encounter that chapter

My other big problem is that I'm mad at my character. I forgot what a bitchy slut she was at the beginning, and she's rubbing me the wrong way.

We have a love-hate relationship. We argue a lot.

People who don't write judge me for it.

People who don't write are stoopid.

I mean, I was editing earlier, and my character said something about how a walk of shame wasn't REALLY a walk of shame, because 1) it was a drive, and 2) she didn't regret anything about free alcohol and good sex.

I read the part to my roommie, and started complaining about Lexi (my character), and she's like "...You wrote it. Stop complaining." And I couldn't figure out how to explain to her that Lexi has a mind of her own, and I just do as she says.

She then accused me of have multiple personality disorder. Like in the movie Identity.

I wish I was the guy in Identity.

Ever noticed that his eyes NEVER stop moving?

It's rad.

Everyone... Doug wants to be a sick man who kills people.

Watch out.

Yes.

"...where Hannah had already placed a plate with eggs and toast for me. No bacon. Bacon was for people who didn’t care if they got fat."

UGH! Lexi is pissing me off again. She's going on this whole shallow rant now.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

congrats, maybe someday I'll finish mine lmao

Thanks, Cam and Pete!! :D

Congrats Jess!
