I happen to like your hair like that.

Congrats on reaching 5000+ posts! Good job! Keep having fun.

Aww. I hope it works after all that.. it would suck terribly if it didn't.

I skim and I read the ending of the last chapter to see where I left off and how I want to continue it, but it all depends on how long I've been away from that story. With the story I'm working on now I had to go back and read every chapter because I hadn't touched the thing in so long. Do whatever you feel comfortable with though, if you feel the need to read the whole thing in order to continue then there is nothing wrong with that. Continuity and flow is important and some people can pick up on that with less material than others.. I have a good memory so I can remember things, but I still find myself creating documents with class schedules, day plans, character lists, small out lines and such so that I don't have to read a chapter to find what I'm missing or what I need in order to continue.

Back in the day when I was "new" at this writing thing I would multitask mostly because I would get bored with one story and feel the urge to start writing a completely new story to make writing entertaining again. Also, if I felt inspired to write a certain story I just started writing it. That only worked for a short while before I started becoming stressed about the stories I had. One time I believe I was trying to continue three stories at once just to start two more and then try to work on all those (back in my yahoo group days) and then I got here and wised up. Multitasking is "ok" in short bursts, but trying to continue two large projects at one time can lend to some pretty huge hurdles. Like keeping both of them on some sort of posting schedule, keeping them edited, keeping the plot, characters, setting, and such on track, and etc. So in my experience, if you want to sustain both stories only work on the story that you feel most inspired in writing. You can on occasion open and read and write on the other projects you may have, but as a new author I wouldn't recommend sustaining two stories. An anthology and a serial is a good way of multitasking, but since you're new bad habits on a grand scale could arise and I would much rather have one learning process instead of two with two different stories. Do keep both stories don't delete either. Good luck.

I shower in the morning, after my work out in the afternoon, and again at night just to relax and such. I do apply lotion, body spray, and perfume as well as an AP/Deo, overall I pick scents that blend nicely for an overall good smell. I like to feel, smell, and be clean and I hate to sweat absolutely cannot stand to sweat, I have to change clothes if I sweat in those clothes. I'm a girl, so I strive to smell pretty 24/7.

Aww. Thanks y'all. I'm feeling tons better and the weather has been nasty for a few days so I've been able to keep to my lazy recovery schedule.

Happy Birthday!! Have a good one.

Oh goodness... the more the natural odors of a man, masked the better.. you guys stink I'm afraid to say... shew. Kidding.. of course.. lol.. but eh, I've never liked the smell of body odor or the smell of an un-showered person, I like the soapy, clean, cologne/perfumed, smell of a person far more than the natural smell. I can appreciate the smell of a hard working, exercised, dirty man but as long as that man steps into the shower and comes out smelling clean.

Actually a person's scent isn't something I've noticed until I've noticed their physical attraction first. Scent is important though probably more defining than how a person looks as the smell of a person really is more long lasting in our memory, I can remember the way David smelled the first time I met him even though he has changed soaps and colognes over the years that I've known him. He smells really good by the way. So in a way scent is a deal maker/breaker.

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!!

David Nail (Train did this song as well I think) Music Vid. I can hear you downstairs crying on the phone Telling someone that I'm here but you still feel all alone Maybe we were too young Goodbye, I've gotta go I can hear the baby waking up Got to get back to the life I know I should have never believed him Maybe I should just leave him Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in Don't give up on me I'm about to come alive And I know that it's been hard And it's been a long time coming Don't give up on me I'm about to come alive No one thought I was good enough for you Except for you Don't let them be right After all that we've been through 'Cause somewhere over that rainbow There's a place for me A place with you In every frame upon our wall Lies a face that's seen it all Through ups and downs and then more downs We helped each other off of the ground No one knows what we've been through Making it ain't making it without you

Just read it Menzo, really good, I've read just about everything you've wrote and this story of Cole and Luc is one of my favorites, such an original story as well.

Lol.. thanks.

I have an "Anthology folder," a "Current works folder," and a "Junk" folder for all the crap that I don't work on anymore. There's a lot of junk in that folder from my early writing projects, three straight novels that I've started and such that I probably won't ever continue, but I do like reading over that stuff as it brings back memories if anything.. so that's another reason why I don't delete anything.. I find myself unable to. Anyway, I've had to read a lot of my work recently trying to get inspired to finish some stories I've had on the "back burner" for a while.

No, been on summer break for a few weeks thankfully. The person below me plans to watch a horror movie later tonight.

I posted the story, here. Krista

Happy Birthday!
