That's good to know...I sort of did that in my story. I used the one song in Holes. I put the author, but it sounded really weird, so I just said that it was in Holes...I think that I might have to reword thigs so it doesn't sound awkward.
Oh I loved the Holes reference, Veronica. I thought it was really cool XD Holes is like one of the best books EVER!!! I didn't think it was awkward at all... and I don't think it's necessary to say who the author is in the story. if u were to get it published i think you would have to site it on the inside cover of the book or something. but that's all...
Well, I thought it sounded awkward with the name in there. It was this before:
All of this “if only” thinking was starting to remind June of a song in the book Holes by Louis Sachar. That was such a wonderful book. She hadn’t read it in a long time.
As opposed to what it is now:

Eh, I don't think it really matters anymore if I use the lyrics or not, because I don't think I will ever publish roses for june. I doubt it will even be 20000 words. I'll edit it, sure, and keep it.
But I think it will be more of a reminicent when I am older, because it will be the first long thing that I've written.

thats what i was considering with the morte...although now that i'm re-reading it, i don't think its as great as i thought it was anymore. XD
no, it really is great! trust me; i have that same problem too. whenever i start re-reading my stuff i start hating it, even though deep down i know it doesn't suck ... XD
aww thanks...well, i think my writing has matured since then, even though it wasn't too long ago. XD
I love writing!!!!
Who doesn't???
Who doesn't???
yes!
which reminds me, i've got to make some changes to my story . . .

yay i feel happy!! i found a solution to the slang problem and now i don't have to rewrite all the dialogue!! YAY!! XD

Yes. It was only logical.
I consider myself a logical person. In fact, I had to take the social studdies MEAP (standardized test in michigan) today. I had no clue what half the answers were, but I used logic and I think I did pretty well.
And as far as not publishing Roses for June... well, I could put it with other stories, but that would mean I would have to write the other stories.
Also, I sort of want to story to stand on it's own.
And I'll probably keep it as a reminiscent. It will remind me of what I wrote like as an 8th/9th grader. And it is the first story that is actually mature and not a short story.

If you've got a num lock, then press that. And you press Alt, hold alt, and press one at the same time. it should show up.
yep alt2
alt3 is a heart, 4 is a diamond, five is a club, six is a spade, seven is a dot, 8 is a weird square with a hole in it, nine is a hollow dot. Ten is ◙ (don't know how to describe that one... 11=♂ 12=♀ 13=♪ 14=♫ 15=☼ 16=► 17=◄ 18=↕ 19=‼ 20=¶
some other ones are... 666:Ü (hey, I was curious, I felt like finding 666)
123={
777=○
999=τ (not sure what that is...)
anyhow, everything has an alt code, even basic letters and numbers that are much easier to just use the keys to type.
