:D It's soo much fun!I wrote a lot yesterday, but again, it's notebook stuff. So maybe later I'll update. I also started a really good book today, Airborn, by someoneIdon'tknow. Anyway, I finally got into it, and I absolutely love it!
I'm not totally sure how long it's been since I last posted how much I've written, but I'm guessing it's been at least 2 1/2 weeks. So, this is all the writing I've done that I can think of for that long:Writing Word Count: 8,466 words

New story ideas :D Yesssssssss
I watched Howl's Moving Castle last night ^^
The book was so funny! How was the movie?
Those are good goals. I should try that.

Earlier in the week, I added a nice 4-line poem to my poetry. It's going to be starring in one of my novels, so if you steal it, I will be overly angry. But feel free to read it and give me feedback! Thank you!http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/5...

Yay! Good job on finishing!I noticed your name changed...is Anilynn your full name?
Thanks! I'm so happy! Ha ha, sort of. I like Anilynn better than Annie :D
Anilynn does sound very pretty! haha
I hate rewriting, and trying to find the right words to put at the beginning. It bugs the crap out of me. :D
Oh I think I read about those on someone else's thread. Your drabble is so sweet and sad. I don't think I'd be able to write one; exactly 100 words must be really difficult.
I've written a lot lately, but of course I'm just far too lazy to tally it all up. ha ha.
I just love rejections. It makes me feel like such an important person! *Insert all sorts of words here*
Awww I'm sorry! Me too. =( I've lost track of how many I've gotten now... even worse than that are the ones who don't even bother to reply, you know?
You know what, it's fine. I received the nicest rejection I've had today! She said she was sad that she didn't want to accept my project. She thought someone else could do a better job. (Or in other words, it's just not that good enough.) I couldn't care less anymore, though I do think that there is one agent that just might accept my project. *crosses fingers*
I got a nice one too the other day... I was really happy it wasn't a form letter though. Dear Ms. Miller:
Thanks for your query.
As to your material I'm afraid I must pass -- I'm just not enthusiastic enough about the premise of your story to feel that I'd be the right agent for the project. Our agency represents a very full list of fiction writers and we must be highly selective in adding to it. I realize it is difficult to judge your potential from a query; nevertheless please know that I give serious attention to every letter, outline, and writing sample I receive.
Sorry I couldn't give you a more positive reply. Thanks for thinking of me, though, and best of luck in your search for representation.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Jackson

Oooh, really? Good luck!
Ha ha, I sent her one, and she rejected me too! And thanks!
Oh really? =P That's... ironic. Makes me feel a little bit better though!You're welcome!
By the way, is your cubical name a Chicago reference? ;)
Ha ha, no, not really. I was just upset with all the wind around my house yesterday. There were 3 power bumps, and I about died.
Has it really been a month since I last posted all of my writing? Sheessh.Well, this is all I've written in the past week.(With some additions/guesstimations as to how much editing and rewriting I've done in the past month.)

Okay, so my nano story that I've been writing for the past 2 NaNoWriMo's, I have decided to re-write it again! But this time, I think I've actually got the write story in my hands. However, this year I'm not going to have it be my NaNo story. I think I'll do something else, mostly because I need more time to drag this one out.So at midnight last night I was writing the first page, and I absolutely love it! The voice of the story should be much better than the past two drafts, and now that I have more than a month to write it, it should be much, much better.
But what am I going to write for NaNo this year?!?!

I just have to tell you all, that Eclipse is by far, the best out of the books, and by a million kajillion miles, it's the best out of the movies. We still have yet to see Breaking Dawn, but I'm not sure if that can top Eclipse in the books. I hated Breaking Dawn. Eclipse was awesome! GO SEE ITTTTT!!!!!
Eclipse was definitely the best movie, and I think it will always be. I have my doubts about Breaking Dawn as a movie... like Reneesme? That's just going to be strange.
No kidding, it will be interesting to see if she's CGI or not.
AGH! I can't contain my excitement right now!!! I sent out tons of queries today, and someone e-mailed me back later, and is actually interested in reading my book! HALLELUJAH!
No fair! I get stacks after stacks of rejections. :(But good for you, Anilynn!
I'm sorry. You'll get your acceptance soon! :D
