    Thank you so much. Caleb went through a lot and I think almost everyone hated what I did at the end. (I'm not sorry ). I'm glad you found your "Noah" and that your ending was happier than thiers.

    Hey friend. What's up?

    This is super sweet and adorable, though I think I fall into the "Kristina is weird" camp. But the interactions between Josh and Brennan were adorable, especially with the shoelaces at the end.

    Typewriters are awesome, I remember mine fondly.

    There are 17 anthology stories in this entry alone. That's a lot to read.

    This was one of my favorite anthologies to write for.

    I often switch to another project. It's not uncommon for me to have up to 3 or 4 works in progress at a time. When I get burnt out on one, I work on something else, then revisit the original project a few days later. Barring that, I'll sometimes just try to solider on through the block anyway or skip to another scene. Even if what I write is utter crap, I can always go back and rewrite it later.

    Fleshing it Out

    CassieQ commented on Comicality's blog entry in Writing World

    Good article. I think it can be hard sometimes to know when to hint and when to show and when to just breeze by something to get to "the good stuff". There was a lot of insight here. Thank you for sharing!

    Dayum, @Comicality. That's 6 updates. How do you do that?
  11. CassieQ
    Sounds cool!

    I'd personally like to hear from someone who doesn't struggle with writing sex scenes. I think those, and humor, are some of the hardest things to write. I'll write sex scenes in stories where I think it is important, on other stories, I'll fade to black, and I much prefer to fade to black.

    *hands you a toothbrush* Kissing buddies are always a good thing! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting.

    I'm glad you like it. And yeah, Elijah has a bit of a fucked up world view. And we all know my feelings towards the color yellow. Thank you for reading and commenting.

    I abhor outlines, so I use them as little as possible. If I'm writing a really complicated storyline with a lot of moving parts, then yeah, I'll use one. But I've never outlined my dialogue. Dialogue is one of my favorite things to write, so it always comes really easily to me.

    How do you have the time to read ASOIAF books three times? I got to book 3 or 4, realized that he wasn't done with the series, and was like...screw this. Those books are crazy long.

    I kept on getting distracted by her eyes changing colors all the time, lol.

    I walked the line of the "gay for you" trope with one of my characters from NTS. He was like a 1 on the Kinsey scale, because while his dating past had been mostly women, he fell in love with another boy. He later identified as bisexual, but had not dated anyone from the same sex before he met Brandon. Then again, he had never had another long term relationship before Brandon either.

    I think it would be okay for a character who has a drug addiction to notice the way their appearance has changed, their hair, their face, etc. What I take issue to is someone plopping down in front of a mirror and doing this crap: My blond hair framed my icy blue eyes and my heart shaped face perfectly and felt in loose cascading waves over my shoulder, etc and so on, especially if it is one of the first things you read. A little description of the character is okay, but I don't need a full run down of how a character looks and dresses. I personally think one or two descriptors are fine.

    Great article. (I love roller coaster btw, the taller and faster the better). If you have nothing but drama after drama after drama, then it lessens the impact on the big moments on the reader. Give us some breathing room! I love reading books a second time too. The first time is the best, but sometimes I get so worked up and nervous about what is happening to the characters, that it is almost a relief to be able to read it again and just enjoy the flow of the story.
