AnytaSunday Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 OOOOH really?? WOW! you know u really shouldnt say things like this!! now i'm waiting!! looking forward to it.. so basically, i'm waiting not only for paul and Karl, but also for Will and maybe Heath from "Get it".. hmmm... that wud be nice!! Heath and Will, huh? Now you're giving me IDEAS, LOL!!! hehe. Well, let me get this story written first. And I have a couple of other awesome projects I want to be working on, too. But, I have a writing diary, I'll jot this down for a later time. 2
AnytaSunday Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 Heya peeps, Chappy ten is up. Love to hear your thoughts/feelings on it. Oki doki-- oh and you can find it here. 1
Agaith Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Anyta, I just caught up with your story as I havent read for a while... I'm so glad i did! Anyta, you are one of few authors that make me physically ache with angst and feeling when I read your stories, the way you make the reader feel as the story develops is incredible. Hoping Karl and Paul can put the past behind them now and get on with it Wonderful Anyta, please write quicker 2
AnytaSunday Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 That little symbol there needs to be like, ten times the size, lol. (That's how much I'm blushing, hehe) Thanks so much for the very kind message. I will have the next chapter up most likely tomorrow. hehe. At the moment, I'm trying to write 12. I know what's meant to happen, but I seem to be in a highly lazy mood . Thanks for reading, Stuart! 1
Sara Alva Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 This chapter in particular had such an emotional impact! I remember being teased as a child, and then having some of those tormentors apologize to me later in life. I don't think I was as forgiving as Paul . . . but seeing things from Karl's point of view really got me thinking about what those children were going through in their own lives. Got a little choked up in this one! 1
Sara Alva Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Yay, Chapter 11! Charlie is probably the most important thing in Paul's life . . . I'm guessing jumping the hurdle of having Charlie see Karl and Paul together is going to be one of the biggest struggles of their budding relationship . . .

AnytaSunday Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 Yay, Chapter 11! Charlie is probably the most important thing in Paul's life . . . I'm guessing jumping the hurdle of having Charlie see Karl and Paul together is going to be one of the biggest struggles of their budding relationship . . . Charlie is very important to Paul, but let's wait and see how THAT develops. There are a few other issues also to contend with. Well, if I get motivated enough to finish writing the next chapter, lol. Hopefully tomorrow I write more and in a few days we'll get a little more insight into their lives. Thanks for leaving a message. 1
Sara Alva Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Do you need a cheering squad to help motivate you? Wait, why is there no cheerleader emoticon?! I thought I saw one once. Phooey. 1
AnytaSunday Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 Do you need a cheering squad to help motivate you? Wait, why is there no cheerleader emoticon?! I thought I saw one once. Phooey. hehe, I use this to work for whatever isn't in the emoticons. This could be anything. lol. Baaaaaaad girl, get back to the books, er, document... 1
AnytaSunday Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 Okay peeps, Chapter 12-- Variable-- is up! I have a rough sketch for how the rest of the book turns out. I keep thinking each chapter I write is about the middle, but I've had a couple of chapters grow on me, soooo... I reckon this is just before halfway. Let's see if that ends up being the case, lol. Hope you are enjoy this peeps! Btw, if any of you are interested, this story and the mystery I'm also supposedly writing at the moment are two stories that are kicking my ass, lol! God, I owe Andy so much thanks. In fact: :king: Here's Andy Here's me! hehe 1
Sara Alva Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Hm, another hurdle for Paul and his happiness . . . how would Laura's parents feel about his relationship . . . Oh, and only because I read your interview . . . hehe . . . it's back to caramello in the States. I think it's a caramilk bar in Canada 1

Andrew Q Gordon Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 King is right it is Caramello in the US and Caramilk in Canada. Okay - I need to set the record straight . . . er gay . . . er whatever - I had almost NO imput in this chapter, it was that damn good from the get go. I made comments on 8 words out of how many thousand in the chapter??? Anyta is just too kind. But, I really think this chapter was well done - despite his protestation to himself to the contrary - Karl is not so immune to feelings as he might think - he is slowly getting drawn in to Paul and his life, whether he knows it, likes it, or not. The way little bits are dropped, here and there is what I like. How much easier to just have him think it than to show it bit by bit. But sadly Anyta, you have set the bar high and you have to keep getting over it. Andy 1
AnytaSunday Posted January 9, 2011 Author Posted January 9, 2011 Muhahaha, I have a way that Caramilk would work. Tirone is OBVIOUSLY Canadian. But let's say he's lived in the States long enough that his accent isn't too rich--in fact maybe his parents are a Canadian/American mix. hehe. And Andy, the bowing thing--it's for everything not Just this chappy, lol. 1
AnytaSunday Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Whoppee-doo! Honest Truth (Chapter 13) is up! So, what are your thoughts? Being up myself here, LOL, I like this chapter. More so since Andy challenged me to get a little deeper in places than just scratching the surface of some emotions. When I read his suggestions it was crazy, I reflected on a couple of moments where I've felt really guilty and conflicted, and then used that to propel the feelings Paul and Karl have. Anyway, I had my writing diary at the time not the laptop and I just couldn't stop writing notes! I was crossing the street and in the train and walking past the cemetery as I do every Monday, and writing (somewhat awkward) at the same time! hehe. 1
AnytaSunday Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Hehe, so I had this thought, and decided to share it here. It seems that when I write a story, the most interesting or sympathetic, or the character ppl seem to find more attractive is most (if not all) of the time the one whose head I don't go into. The one I don't write about. Anyway, I thought about it, and in most of the stories I read, I have a similar feeling/inclination. I think it has something to do with mystery. Mysterious ppl are fascinating, trying to understand how their mind works and what makes them tick and anticipating what the help they'll do or say next is intriguing. It's like there's an inner detective or something in all of us that just wants to get to the bottom of things. Figure it out. And not be told beforehand, because that takes away the fun. What do you think? 2
Agaith Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Although I like to find out in the end, I do find that those who start off by having little information said about them tend to be more interesting to read about, it might that it's because we only get tidbits of information about them and so we want more from them. Unlike the main character where we tend to know quite a bit about them from what they tell us as a reader. (That's not to say that the main characters of stories are boring or bad to read about, just that because we have to keep our eyes peeled for info on mysterious characters it holds our attention more?) I dunno I'm just typing away to myself 2
Sara Alva Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 it might that it's because we only get tidbits of information about them and so we want more from them. Unlike the main character where we tend to know quite a bit about them from what they tell us as a reader. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say too. Had to wait til I got home, though, darn that RL job, hehe. I've read books in series that take on different perspectives, and I've found there are times when I become more interested in "former" main characters because I'm no longer sure what's driving them. I think we're constantly trying to figure out what makes others tick . . . even though we'll never truly know. Unless we develop ESP. 1

What do you think? So true Anyta!! If you are told all about a certain character, you wouldnt want to invest much thought to how he/ she is going to react to, or handle a certain situation. it would be predictable. They mystery is what keeps the minds of the readers occupied, i believe. as for me, the less i know abt the character, the more i think about them, the more i want to get into the their heads and try to imagine and anticipate their next move... or their reactions.. it is such an intriguing challenge, because i rarely get it right! i mostly put too much of me into the character that i'm dreaming up!!! Karl is such a Challenge! (so frustrating yet so entertaining) 1
AnytaSunday Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Stuart: (That's not to say that the main characters of stories are boring or bad to read about, just that because we have to keep our eyes peeled for info on mysterious characters it holds our attention more?) Of course not, I think you're right though, the mystery does hold our attention more. And the best is when the main character, whose thoughts we have to listen to anyway, makes the journey of discovering the other person enjoyable. Sea: Yep, the driving factor. Yeah, it's compelling for us readers. hehe. Thanks for the message. Frosty: i believe. as for me, the less i know abt the character, the more i think about them, the more i want to get into the their heads and try to imagine and anticipate their next move... or their reactions.. it is such an intriguing challenge, because i rarely get it right! i mostly put too much of me into the character that i'm dreaming up!!! Spot on. Karl is such a Challenge! (so frustrating yet so entertaining) Yup, he's an interesting character to write, but Paul seems still to be the bigger mystery, LOL. hehe. Cheers for the message. 1
AnytaSunday Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 Hello Peeps! So, after a couple of days slogging, I managed to scrape this chapter together. hehe, nah, I enjoyed every moment of it. Um, yeah, so how much would you hate me if I left it at that? A lot? Hope so, I'd hate it too! I have in fact got the first scene of 15 written and plan to attempt more today, however, I'm a little unsure on something and might have to bug my beta reader a bit to suss something out. Hmmmmm... Yes, I believe we are now halfway through the story. I'm excited to write it, but I wish I could write faster. I have a couple of other stories in mind. In fact, one I'll write later in the year (summer) will have a few different perspectives and be much, much lighter. I won't say anything too much except that a couple of side characters of previous stories I've written will feature, as well as a meddling, gay-erotica writing grandma. Should be fun. hehe. Oki-doki then, enjoy chapter 14 (something about 'fishes') 1
Agaith Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 You'd better get this finished! You can't leave it there for long....can you?....no...please? Seriously looking forward to the next chapter 2
AnytaSunday Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 What a terribly unproductive writing day. LOL. I did try for you guys. I have a third done, and a plan for the rest, but I was in a lazzzzy mood. I will work Sat, and Sun evenings after the boy is in bed (and if I can make sure the hubs is entertained, lol!) I really don't want to leave you hanging long. Poor Paul. Thanks Stu, for all the encouragement. The words I DID get in were after reading your pleas, hehe. 1
Frostina Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Umm.. maybe Drama/romance will do good.. what do u say??? As long as the romance stays, i really don't mind the drama... However, i do mind the wait.. but... lookie here.. I'm waiting.. so... The story is charming its way into so many people's hearts.. Please write more.. and soon... All the best for the weekend...
