Tink's Tangled Threads

[Paige]

2011! Wooooohooo! On to year three of the challenge! Welcome back to the oldsters, and hey there and welcome to you newbies. :)

Here's the deal, guys: I can promise you already that I haven't written 300 words a day/ 2100 words a week OR edited 2 pages a day/10 pages a week (my 2011 goals) so far. I am excluding January from that goal due to :A) Finals B) ABNA C) Entering my writing portfolio to transfer to Creative Writing , all during JANUARY. Ahhhh, cursed, cursed, cursed school.

I'll get back to you on the goals. For January, I just want to survive! =)

[Andrea]

Good luck, Tink! I like your new domain name :0)

[Kritika]

Haha, well I hope you can stick to your goals once January's over. Good luck with finals and ABNA and everything else :)

[Andrea]

Hi Tink! Thought I'd stop by and visit. *pulls up thick pillow and takes a nap*

[Paige]

Hey guys,
Contrary to popular belief, I am alive and lurking on Goodreads fairly often. However I am not posting in this group very much, and for that I apologize! I haven't been doing much writing, just editing, so... yeah.
Thanks to those of you who continue to stop by!

[Kritika]

I was beginning to think you'd been swallowed whole by a kraken :P
Well I hope your editing is going well and not driving you up the wall - editing tends to drive me insane.

[Andrea]

Good to hear you're still around Tink. Good luck with the edits :) Take care.

[Paige]

What's this? Paige has a shiny new story idea and is actually writing? WHAT?!?!?
(This is really short - not even a chapter long. It'll take you 2 minutes, so please read it and tell me what you think if you have some spare seconds. :) THANKS.)

[Kritika]

I love your story so far, Tink! I'm waiting for you to post more (hint hint) :)

[Andrea]

Hey, look who's back! Good to see you. I'll pop over and read your story. Be right back...

[Andrea]

OK, back. That was intense! Great start, keep it up. I left a comment. I'm trying to figure out what's really happening there. Very mysterious... Hope to see you here again soon.

Oh, I finished the first draft of my second book in "The Chosen" series. I'm off to edit!

[Paige]

^^^ The end half of the first chapter is up. It's only another three hundred words or so, but it's kind of important, so you might wanna check it out. :)

[Paige]

Thanks, Kritika! The end of the first chapter is up. :)

Andrea, thanks for reading! I appreciate it :) I'm glad to be back. Things have been a little crazy, and I need this right now. :D Congratulations! That's great! Hopefully you enjoy editing more than I do :P

[Paige]

Chapter 2 :) Please read it if you get a chance, I spent the entire day writing it!

[Paige]

I have been very, very, very MIA you guys :( I'm sorry! Life grabbed hold and hasn't let go.

Here's some new stuff, if you're interested - 2 short poems for your review :)

[Andrea]

Hello Tink! Good to see you again. Been very busy myself lately. I just submitted the second book in "The Chosen" series to my publisher yesterday! *pins and needles* Take care.

[Andrea]

Hello again. You're probably getting ready for school. Just wanted to say "hi." Things have been VERY quiet around here (goodreads) this year...

[Paige]

Andrea, it's been ages :( School takes up all my time! I love you guys though :)

[Kritika]

Have you been working on anything, Tink? It's been a loooooong time since you posted last...

[Paige]

I know! I have a few things that I hope to be adding soon :)

[Paige]

Speaking of which...

Brighter - a new short story :)

Teeth - a new poem (Possibly one of the best I've ever written, please read :D )
http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...
Childish Caprices and Spaghetti Strands - just a little 300 word something :)

[Kritika]

I really liked Brighter! It's one of the best short stories I've read in a while. You have inspired me to start writing short stories again :)

[Andrea]

Good to see you again, Tink :) Take care.
