In Which Tesni Writes Things.

[tesni]

So. Uh, hi there.
I joined this group about a month or so ago, 'cause I was like, "yes! This is exactly the group I need." But I find it awkward starting threads, so, um, I'm finally making a thread now.

About me: I'm Tesni. Or Tez. Or Anything else, I suppose. I'm as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth. I live in England where I read books, write things and play classical music.

Now that's out of the way-

Goals for 2011:

-finish writing my 2010 NaNo, The Sky is Falling Down.

-finish my novel-in-verse The Many Lives of Clio Sinclair (So far and yet so close...)

-potentially start writing a sequel to TMLCS, set afterwards from the perspective of her best friend Irma.

-win NaNoWriMo 2011.

-send off some more of my poetry to magazines, journals and small presses.

Well, that's all I can think off off the top of my head. I'll add anything else if there's more.

*awkwardly shuffles away*

ETA: you can read some of my writing here.

Hey Tesni! You have your work cut out for you with your goals...good luck! Will you be posting some of your work on Goodreads?
I play classical music too! What instrument do you play?

[tesni]

Yeah, it seems like quite a bit. But I guess that if I can write just a page a day of The Sky is Falling Down and The Many Lives of Clio Sinclair, I might be able to have them finished by summer.

I just added a link to my writing to my first post; but none of the books I mentioned are up yet- just some other pieces in verse I'm working on and short stories so far.


I play the classical guitar and the double bass. :-)

[Kritika]

I read one of your short stories, and I really liked it! You have a very poetic sort of voice, and it makes your story really beautiful.
Nice...I play the clarinet.

[Kenzie, Looking for something new to read...]

Nice to meet you, Tesni! Welcome to the group. :D

[tesni]

Thanks, both of you! :D


In writerly news, think I've worked out how The Sky Is Falling Down Will end. Booyah.

I just need to get there. Why is this chapter taking so long to write?!

[tesni]

So. I stayed up until *spluttercough* ahem *coughs* o'clock last night writing some more of The Sky is Falling Down. I'm probably about 2/3 of the way throuh writing it; it's at 56K or so at the moment. We'll see. Hopefully when I've gotten my homework out of the way tonight I'll have time to do some more this evening.

[Kritika]

haha I know what you mean about getting homework out of the way. Homework can be such a pain when you have a great idea and you're just itching to write it down.
