Hahahaha I also can't do...(I LOVE THIS ANALOGY! Hahahaha I also can't do a messy bun!)<br /><br />OK! Well I'm happy about that I guess! ;)<br /><br />Those darn characters. What'll we do with them?<br /><br />Yeah I think so. I'm not sure how person from second world gets into our world, I guess through a rip in the fabric of time and space (obviously). Through a mirror would be v cool, buuuut that's just Lewis Carroll, isn't it. So I'm not sure about that. Maybe a door, Narnia-style? <br /><br />The really interesting thing is how do our two respective authors (writing the books that the characters from the two worlds are reading about each other) KNOW about the other world? Have they been there themselves? And are they goodies or baddies? I'm kinda imagining an evil author planning to kill one of the characters and the characters have to get into that author's world and stop him/her before he/she does the terrible deed ...<br /><br />I like them too. Seb is gorgeous. But you know I have a soft spot for Eelistle ;)<br /><br />It would be good indeed. I guess I'm just concerned that all my FMCs are the same girl: bookish, quiet, fangirly. AKA Corrie, Annika, Teresa ... Emily ... oops!<br /><br />BUT THAT'S THE POOOOINT. His life is all doo-doo-doo-doo and then DUUUUGHHGHHHHHH THERE SHE IS and then he goes back to just existing until “THE VIOLINS EXPLODE INSIDE ME WHEN I MEET YOUR EYES, THEN I'M SPINNING AND I'M DIVING LIKE A CLOUD OF STARLINGS!" That's the POINT. Gee.<br />Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-86400822219201605392016-02-11T06:36:15.616+00:002016-02-11T06:36:15.616+00:00(I know!

You feel like you've got to make it look perfect, but the whole point is that. . . it's not supposed to be perfect.)<br /><br />It's scary how relatable it is. <br /><br />Well, more like the characters had a lot to say. *glares at characters*<br /><br />Ooooooh. I'm sort of understanding. I understand that perceived what you were saying wrong. . . I understand that there are two worlds. Three people in each? One goes missing in the second world. One from the second world pops up in the first world with the FMC, and the two worlds collide as these two find the missing person? Am I closer? <br /><br />I happen to like your monosyllabic names. Especially Seb. It's better than Eelistle or however the heck I plan to actually spell it.<br /><br />I do know what you mean about not wanting to make character skeletons. But female friendships are awesome! And kind of. . . infrequent? You don't see a lot of strong female friendships outside of MG. I think it'd be good. <br /><br />I tried. The lyrics really got me. But the music, just. . . It just existed. <br /><br />Whatever will you do with me? a.n.g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03667996517318905980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-23283079844575054852016-02-04T21:53:37.831+00:002016-02-04T21:53:37.831+00:00I'm so glad. <3I'm so glad. <3 Katie Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867517507191129951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-20134261813010990332016-02-04T19:45:01.303+00:002016-02-04T19:45:01.303+00:00This is perfect.

For me, this the first time I'...Ha, OK, got it! For me, this the first time I've written about love in years. I mean, the FMC of my WIP is, unbeknownst to her, in love with her best friend, but we do not think about that until book 2! As for unrequited love, I've not touched it (in prose form) in forever, because until a while ago it was too close to the bone! So this is the first time -- a while later -- that I've sat back to verbalise feelings that I never wrote out at the time. I guess this is the first time I've felt I had enough distance to write convincingly.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-21925356067241624342016-02-04T05:13:35.878+00:002016-02-04T05:13:35.878+00:00Haha!

Hence, relatable, yet MORE, thus excellence. XD<br /><br />Well, I am quite twisted. ;D That sounds really interesting!! And haha, I've been there, too....

And I forgive you ;)<br />The story is scary, or it's scary how relatable it is?<br /><br />11 pages? You had a lot to say!<br /><br />IT ISN'T LIKE THAT, OK! They're not *reading about each other*, it's not like a piece of fic about meeting your book crush! (Though goodness knows I'd love that, JAIME JAIME JAIME.) So here's what I've got:<br />FMC Annika White, fangirl supreme and book blogger. Fighting with BF Marie. Crushing on friend Cam. (Apparently I can't have romantic leads without monosyllabic names? Cam. Jem. Seb. Nick. Jep. Kit. All males I've written. Oops.) Reading about as yet unnamed fantasy trio who live in a steampunky world. In that world, girl has just died/gone missing. One of the boys is missing on a quest. The other boy (who's in love with the girl, so we are NOT shipping him with Annika) falls into our world and meets Annika and they solve the mystery/find the missing person together.<br /><br />But even thinking about six characters was too complicated. And when I wrote about Cam, it turned into fullblown unrequited love, which was not my intention.<br /><br />I don't think that Boy (MMC) is reading about Annika. I think it's maybe Girl who read about her?<br /><br />Does any of this make sense?<br /><br />My worry about Annika and Boy is that I don't want them to just be Corrie and Freddie mark 2. A girl/girl awesome female friendship might be better.<br /><br />Sorry, that was quite a ramble!<br /><br />YOU DON'T LIKE STARLINGS?? I wash my hands of you!<br /><br />(I do not, of course, but gosh!)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-51628743206324685232016-02-03T21:13:25.152+00:002016-02-03T21:13:25.152+00:00Not sure how to reconcile OTT and excellent, but T...Not sure how to reconcile OTT and excellent, but THANK YOU RACHEL! XD <br />Ha! I think that is just your twisted mind conjuring horrors. In my head, Teresa stays in pure love for the whole book, at the end or near the end she actually tells him (I think) and he is super lovely about it and at the end she's getting over him and she's just glad to have had the experience of true love, which sounds disgustingly soppy but is something I'm quite interested in exploring. I'd like to get Teresa to the point of looking back and saying "I don't love him any more but I'm glad to have known such a wonderful person" bc that is a point I've been at, though in my case I never told him which I kind of regret? I don't know. Oversharing here!

It's very relatable. So I might have maybe needed to see which Ruskin Teresa was again. I find her very relatable, even when you first wrote about her. It's a little scary sometimes. Especially about the room and what it represents.<br /><br />I almost wrote about unrequited love too for this prompt. Sort of. But after edits, it turned out as 11 pages, and yeah. Couldn't post that. <br /><br />I do hope you get to write that idea about the girl reading about the boy who's reading about her and they meet. My stifled-yet-still-kicking inner romantic is now convinced it needs this for its continued existence. <br /><br />The lyrics to that Starling song. Yes. I like it! But the music. . . I'm sorry, but I can't do that music. What even is it? The words are quite nice though. a.n.g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03667996517318905980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-23060631467301331212016-01-30T22:27:37.624+00:002016-01-30T22:27:37.624+00:00This was . . . alarmingly relatable, but at the sa...This was . . . alarmingly relatable, but at the same time, a little over-the-top.
