[Isaac]

Colby, I'm sorry. :(

[Colby]

Yup, it's my first. I'm fine with it, as Brigid has given me stuff to improve upon, but it's not like I would have been bothered too much if it got published anyways ;)

[Colby]

That said, I applied to Dairy Queen today, and, knowing the type of people who work at Dairy Queen, I will be pretty upset if I get rejected there.

[Elliott]

I still have my first rejection letter.
*high fives* We can form a club!

[Colby]

I deleted my rejection so that it wouldn't be on my email and depress me. XD I'm just going to save them all on a word document so that when I get published I can giggle at them. At least the letter was nice.

[Elliott]

Yeah, it's always sad at first. :/ Good idea! It's definitely an important part of the writing process.
Indeed! It would've been a lot worse if they said, "Sorry, but we hate your writing. We read the first sentence and threw up. Never send anything here again."

[Elliott]

LOOK EVERYONE. LAV CAN'T SING HIGH NOTES. (view spoiler)[SHAMELESS ADVERTISING: But you should watch anyways. Because Defying Gravity is a lovely song.

I think that letter about sums up my whole life. Anyway, sorry about your rejection. D: But I'm glad my feedback helped you!

I want to submit stuff but that means my parents would read it no matter what and I write stuff that they wouldn't approve of and I don't let them read my nice writing anyways so I'm stuck until I leave home.

Your parents will be proud of you if you get published no matter how dark it is/what they think about it.

[Isaac]

They'll be proud, read it, and then kill me.

Thanks guys! ... now I feel like I was fishing for compliments. WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT WHAT I WAS DOING. PSSH.

Oh, weird! That's actually not the reason I recorded it. Unless it was subconscious or something. I was home alone and when I'm home alone I like to play the piano and sing loudly and I liked how I sounded that day so I recorded it. xD

Technically your parents wouldn't have to know if something you wrote got published...

[Colby]

BUT THEY SHOULD.

[Isaac]

BUT I DON'T WANT THEM TOO.

[Elliott]

Then... don't tell them!

[Isaac]

How do you publish a book and not have your parents know?

[Elliott]

Emily [The Messenger Spirit] wrote: "How do you publish a book and not have your parents know?"

Well, usually when books are published they don't skyrocket to the best sellers list, and unless your parents keep track of all the new releases of books, I doubt they'd even see it. You probably aren't going to be publishing a book until you're out of the house, so they wouldn't find out you were going through the process unless you told them. There are also things like pen names that are handy in situations like that.

I don't know very much about music, but from what I've picked up in choir (so don't take this is a textbook definition or anything), head voice is the light, airy higher voice and you're singing "from your head" and then there's chest voice, which is the lower range and it comes from your diaphragm and has a sound that's more rich and full. My chest voice sounds a lot better than my head voice, but when you start getting to a certain point, you have to use the head voice because the chest voice can't reach the notes. The notes my voice cracked on or wavered on happened because I didn't have a smooth transition into head voice or because I tried to sing the higher notes in chest voice and it didn't work very well. xD

[Nepeta]

Since we're talking about music and singing, I'm a soprano. It's the one who can hit the highest notes and I'm more comfortable with the head voice.
The end,.

Once you've left the house and they don't have to know everything that you're doing! Tho..."

Bah I don't want to wait until then but I have too.

With my Camp NaNo I could really care less because that's actually a nice, happy story.

*high fives* That's fantastic! I admire sopranos. But I'm glad I'm an alto. xD

*envious*

I have a really low and small vocal range AND IT SUCKS BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ONE SONG I CAN EVEN SING WITHOUT SWITCHING OCTAVES EVERY FREAKING VERSE BECAUSE IT'S EITHER TOO LOW OR TOO HIGH

[Elliott]

Hehe, I have to do that too. I can actually sing along with guys who have higher voices a lot better than most girl singers.

[Isaac]

Same with me. I've always sang the male parts better than the female parts.

DUDE I KNOW RIGHT. And then whenever I go down an octave my voice is way lower than all the other girls around and I feel really self-conscious (which I always do when I'm singing anyway because I'm not very good at it).

[Elliott]

I think society's obsession with "good" voices is kind of ridiculous. People should be able to sing for fun without being judged and stared at.

Ugh same here about the self-consciousness.
