Chapter 5 of TIAD posted. It almost killed me.
44 of brittle bones posted.
Now all of my time, or most of it anyway, will be dedicated to SOG—which hasn't been updated in a month! I've got a good start going, though, and it should be finished soon. (When my fingers start working properly of course)
 
Firstly, Happy Halloween!
TIAD: Chapter 5—1/6 completed.
Shades of Grey: chapter 3—1/2 completed.
Brittle Bones: chapter 40—completed and ready for posting.

The great thing about being bedridden (on the weekend no less) is the opportunity to accomplish things.
I re-did the whole site because the way I had it was just bothering me, especially the banners I had originally made.
I've typed 3,000 words--3,000 words!—onto Shade 3, and it's coming together nicely. I'm also off to post the new chapter of brittle bones.
I may feel like crap and hate that my weekend is slipping through my fingers, but at least I'm not wasting it.
 
I have no good excuse for not updating this site, I mean, it's the least I could do—seeing as I've been lacking in regards to ff.net also. But I can tell you all that I don't have school tomorrow, and that all of my time and energy (after I shower, eat, and run over to my grandma's house to give her a hand) will be dedicated soley to the fanfiction world.
I did work on TIAD a bit on thursday, and I've hit the half-way mark. If I can keep my eyes open I'll work on it today and have it all shiny and polished by tomorrow. The same applies to the update of 'brittle bones.'
Shades of Grey is a whole different story. I've been working on it, I swear I have, but it's only been sentences and paragraphs at a time. And of course there's 'negative progress:' deleting what I've worked on for the day and then some.
The new quarter starts on Tuesday and sadly I don't have as much free time as I did this first quarter. Meaning I don't get to sleep-in in the mornings or leave throughout the day to come home and work on fanfiction. So updates are probably going to be even more sparse.
 
So we all know I'm a bit unorganized, but I've devised a strict regiment to help get myself caught up with the fics, and to also be more efficent. Understand that my school work and social life take priority over the following list: (for the most part. I'll do anything to avoid homework)
1.) At least two drabbles a night for brittle bones.
B- Edit chapter 12 of Romy Round Robin. (not included in the 'every day' list.
2.) At least a page and a half a night for TIAD.
B- Editing time not included.
3.) Dedicate rest of my free time (if any) to Shades of Grey.

There we have it. It seems unrealistic, but back in the day I could crank out chapters for brittle bones like no body's business, and likewise with Scorch and TIAD. I just need to disipline myself and get back to how I used to be. (damn senior year, too many parties and not enough ibuprofen—make it so I don't wanna get up in the morning) Bear with me, folks! I WILL get there!
 
...again. The stories just ain't happenin' for me.
This weekend took a lot out of me; I need sleep, but I don't know when I'm gonna get it in...I might have to fake sick tomorrow.
Updated brittle bones and TIAD, and I'm tempted to update SOG as well.
Any suggestions on how to get passed this writer's block? I've tried all the little tricks I've heard of, but nothing is working. Grr.
 
I received my first flame ever for brittle bones last night (techincally this morning) and I have to admit it was an experience. I must say that I question their methods: If they hated the story as much as they said, why take the time to leave not one, but two obscenity-ridden, overly-drawn out reviews?
Sigh. Oh well- Can't please 'um all I 'spose.
Ahem, change of topic: I've made a horrible 'oopsy' guys. I was ahead by, like, 6 or 7 chapters of brittle bones, but in some bizarre series of events- I deleted all of my progress. I'm more than frustrated. Alas, I'll simply have to start over, which means more waiting for you guys, but...Ehh? Nothin' I can do.
See ya next time ;)
 
This site is a work in progress, and I spent some time starting a few new pages that y'all can access on Multi-Chaptered Fanfiction. Just click 'extras' next to the title.
Oh, and emphasis on the 'started' part. I've barely got anything there, but it'll come along eventually.
 
So I've limited some of the distractions in my life and here's what I've gotten done:
1) Gotten further along in chapter three of TIAD. This one is proving difficult to write guys, it's not flowing well and the writer's block plaguing me with this one is AWFUL! I know what I want to say...but the words just aren't comin'. Expect the next chapter sometime this week. (Hopefully? Maybe?)
2) Gotten ahead by a few chapters in Brittle Bones. Posted the new chapter just a few minutes ago actually...I'm really liking where this one is going and all the support it's receiving. Thank You!
3) Just finished chapter two of 'Shades of Grey'. This is a collection of one-shots I've been working on for a while and have been thinking about even longer. I know, I know, I should be worrying about TIAD and what not, but I can't help myself! This will not be posted on ff.net until I get further along in TIAD.
That's all for now ;)
 
I've dreamt of going to college since I was a kid, but now that the time's actually here it's surreal. I've been applying non-stop to all of my choices and the whole process is stressful and a little depressing.
It hurts to know that I might not maintain some of my friendships, that my relationship probably won't survive the distance, and that I have to rely even more heavily on myself. I won't be able to sob my eyes out on my mom's shoulder or let my dad handle my problems.
(heartache)
But on a much lighter note: aiRo25 has worked her magic and made me two beautiful banners. Check them out!
