Hi Ray!

Hye guyses. Haven't been on here for a while cause of Drama Club and stuff.. (practice til 9 and all)

But I'm hoping to ge back into the swing of writing. I started a new short story on a new character I made up (Psst, she's an anthro) and I'm hoping to maybe finish by the end of the month.

And I'm changing my goals. Instead of 100 words daily this is what I'm going to do:



►I have four stories in the works, so I'm hoping to write in at least two out of four stories everyday.
►I want to write at least 120 words in each sotry that I write, making a minimum for the whole day of 240 words.
►I hope to finish my new short story, which I'm probably going to call Hostage Situation, by the end of the month.
►I want to write at least two new chapters of 'My Life in a Ramen Cup' in February
►I want to get through third year in my HP Fanfic by the end of the school year.
►I want to write a new blog post at least once a month on my blog decembersstory.blogspot.com

[Just Plain Ray]

By the way, new blog post from a few days back:

Hey everyone, Outcast is currently a finished novel sitting on Goodreads, so I'm going to delete it this weekend. If you haven't finished reading Outcast, you have until this coming Sunday to read it before it gets taken off. So please read it and leave comments until the end! Thanks. :)

Hi Ray! I posted up one of the new stories I started that you saw in my topic, Shards. Please read it and leave me a comment! :D

http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/5...

Here's the description thingy:

Dustin and Miley have been friends all their lives. They've shared jokes, wild times, and deep secrets. Even though they've always lived half an hour away from each other, they have still managed to keep up a close relationship – until they turn fifteen and enter high school.

Then the crazy, chaotic world of high school changes everything.

Dustin and Miley don't go to the same high school. Both of them get so busy that they don't see each other for the whole semester.

When Miley sees Dustin for the first time in five months, he's not the same person anymore. He is a different Dustin than the one Miley knew all her life. Miley begins to wish she could turn back time and stop the transformation from the kind, sensitive boy she once knew to the cold, indifferent person he has turned into. She doesn't know who he has become, and she's scared of the change in him.

And soon Miley realizes that she can't recognize the person standing inside her own skin anymore.

Shards is a story about change, growing up, and the tearing apart of friendship.

[Sella]

I posted four chapters to Shards - chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5! They're all pretty short, only about two pages each. :D Please read them and comment on all of them! I'm really excited for this story. XD Thanks!

http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/5...

[Sella]

I added Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 of Shards! Please read and comment :)

[Sella]

How's your writing going, Ray?

[Just Plain Ray]

Thanks for the chapters, Sella xD I love them already!

And my writing is going well. I started typing the seventh chapter of Ramen Cup. By the way, did you get a chance to read the other chapters because I didn't notice a comment :p

[Just Plain Ray]

Alrighty, so I'm actually writing Ramen Cup before I eat and finish math homework and such..

But I still have this new idea floating in my head, and I think I'm going to outline that instead.
Cause I really want to write it, but if I do I'll inveitably abandon Ramen Cup, and then I'll get stuck with that story so yeah.. >->
And then I'll have to save that story for NaNo...or at least wait a bit, I suppose.

Any tips for outlining?

C..."

You should never worry about abandoning a story for another one! If a new story is writing itself in your head, usually it's important to write it - at least just to start it - because you'll lose the first touch. You can always go back to Life in a Ramen Cup after the first couple chapters of the new story, but it's important to get the first touch down of the idea. :P

You can disregard my advice if you want. I'm just trying to be helpful. lol :P

Oh I'm sorry, I've been extremely busy! I think the last chapter I read was the third chapter. *blushes* I'll read them sometime this week when I don't have so much homework! :P

[Sella]

Hey, Ray! I just wrote and posted Chapter Eight of Shards! Yay, Shards is 7 thousand words now! :D Aaaand this is the longest chapter I've written so far in this book. All the others have been half pages minimum, 2.5 pages max, but this chapter turned out to be almost 7 pages. O_O I have NO idea how that happened. Haha! :P But anyways, this was a fun chapter to write so you should read it and leave me a big, fat, juicy comment! :)

http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/5...

[Just Plain Ray]

xD Yeah, I'll just outline the story eventually, not sure what I'll do yet.

Anyway, as an update for today I wrote a scene for a futrue part of my HP fanfic 5th year...as well as a Dow Jones Industrial project. The latter was 425 words, adn im sure i wrote more than 120 words in the other so im covered foor today. although im sure ill probably get some ramen cup done.

[Xerxes Break(Vivian Ephona)]

i shoudl read ramen cup...

[Just Plain Ray]

You should 8D

[Just Plain Ray]

So for our school yearbook, (the theme is '10') there is a sort of contest going around where you can write a poem or prose relating to the theme. It can have words that have teh word 'ten' in it (example: TENtative) and so on.

I'm thinking of writing a short story, as well as a poem. The reason I'm doing the latter as well is because teh short story might end up being too long for publication in the yearbook. I already have some ideas so I have to get started on it...

Wish me luck :)

[Just Plain Ray]

Just made a cover for My Life in a Ramen Cup

It's a bit small, but whatever:



If it doesn't show up, its in my photos under my profile.

[Michelle]

XD love it!!!!!

[Just Plain Ray]

Thanks xD

[Dee]

Hey Ray,
Thanks for posting a link to the newest chapter of "My Life in a Ramen Cup." Your writing is genius :]

[Just Plain Ray]

I can't stand it anymore. I've had this idea in my head forever...I need to put it to paper, or rather, virtual paper.

Wish me luck.

[Michelle]

Luck luck luck!!! XD
and hi! lol

[Just Plain Ray]

Hey Mimi 8D

When I get through the first chapter, you'll be able to see Jasmine in a new light.

[Michelle]

Le gasp!! Yay!! XD

[Just Plain Ray]

Muahaha XD

[Michelle]

Go write!! lol

[Just Plain Ray]

I am! 48 words and counting :P

[Michelle]

XD nice

[Just Plain Ray]

It's an improvement compared to how much I've been writing these past few days.

[Michelle]

Ugh, I really need to write, too. I haven't really felt motivated since... last year, really. sigh.

[Just Plain Ray]

yeah...I used to write a lot, but now with school and then slacking off I haven't been committed.

[Michelle]

Exactly! Stupid school... meh

[Just Plain Ray]

I've been writing a lot, even though I haven't been posting on this group a whole lot.

I am almost done with the first chapter of Reaching Infinity (a new novel), another chapter of Ramen cup, and I just finished an analysis of Harry Potter.

You can check it out on my blog: outonleftfield.blogspot.com

[Just Plain Ray]

Yush! I thought the story ended there, but thankfully not 8D I should finish up Ramen Cup and Reaching Infinity...they're right there... :<

[Michelle]

XD you really did? I thought you meant you didn't want the chapter to end there. lol. Nah, I'd tell you if I'd finished.
And omg, you were online!!!

[Just Plain Ray]

Ah, I see..cause the way you posted the link and commented after made it seem like that was the last chapter and I started to panic.

And yes, I was 8D

You know what I realized...I should pry write more of Chills. LOL, totally abandoned that story. shame on me.

[Michelle]

ah, no. lol. And yes you should!!!!!!!!!
And you're on again! hi!!

[Just Plain Ray]

Heya. I was about to go finish Reaching Infinity. I hope to finish by 10 and maybe put it up on Goodreads. Wish me luck.
