I am a would be, wanna be, wish I was writer. Young adult, specifically.
This is the place I keep the things I love, as most do. The things that make me laugh, inspire me, and, most importantly, keep me writing.
I am a procrastinator, a nerdfighter, and a coffee addicted receptionist.

imagine if you met someone on tumblr and then randomly fell in love with them and skyped for hours on end and finally met them and then after a few years you would get married and have 2 kids named after fictional characters and a house lined with books and boxsets and momentos from all the conventions you attended together and it would all be because you decided to start a dumb blog on tumblr.com
Okay. Yes, I’m in.

@10 months ago with 92913 notesI know I’m one of few, but I like book trailers. I think they are fun to watch and they can be well done. Many aren’t, I know. But I don’t mind the cheesy voice over, the not-so-dramatic dramatic font, the over rehearsed fight scenes, and the blatantly fake sound effects. I can get past all that.
What is really starting to get to me is a two minute book trailer and one and a half minutes is dedicated to shirtless kissing scenes. These aren’t romance novels. The books aren’t even three fourths kissing. I’m sick of getting awkward close ups of strangers mashing there mouths together.
I’m not getting a idea of the plot, I’m getting parental blocks.

It still needs work, but now it fits the rest of the story. Less hokey.
And then scrivner freezes.
Ah, just came back. My word count is pretty much the same as it was when I started today.
No more editing. Lets get writing.
@1 year agoI am looking at two white chocolate macadamia nut cookies that I can not eat until I get this kiss/not kiss scene over with. I don’t know what’s about to happen. But I feel like my MMC (male main character) does.
@1 year ago with 11 notesMy MC’s are at a perfect place to kiss. BUT it’s only half way through my book. I never pictured that this moment would be in the book at all. I don’t know what to do. Let the hormonal teens snog or leave readers screaming “KISS DAMMIT KISS!”
Help? Build tension or give them what they want?
@1 year agoDay Three: What is your novels genre? Why?
Young adult, historical fiction, drama, romance. In that order. It’s YA because YA is awesome.

Today will be better.
My writing goals for the next few months:
Finish book one by the end of April.
When the book is finished, print out the whole thing and re-arrange scenes into chapters.
My writing goals for today:
Rewrite this crap kiss scene.
| ME: | Should my MMC and FMC kiss? |
| FRIEND: | Yes. |
| ME: | But he might have a girlfriend. I don't know what to do. |
I love with my male lead. Not because he’s good looking. Not because he is the nicest guy my female lead has ever had the pleasure to meet. Not even because he’s saved her life twice now. Simply because he uses words like “gunna”, “kinda”, “wanna”, and “til”.
Spell check keeps telling me it’s wrong, but it just feels so right.
