Brigid's Writing Challenge :)
yeah, i know what you mean. but the thing is, i know my mom is right, i just don't know how to fix my own book! argh! or i do, sorta, but it will involve reshaping the entire plot and changing everything soooo it's kind of REALLY frustrating! D:
Sadness, well, I hope you can figure it out. Good luck!
okay well i figured out how to fix it! but it's still driving me crazy, cuz i have to change so much. >_< gaah. plus i got another rejection. :( oh welll ... back to editing.
I'm sorry about the rejection. It's been a week since I sent one out, and I have a week left for the deadline.
ehhh it's okay. rejection is all part of the evil process. :) lol. i was kind of hoping for a rejection, actually, because a day or two after i sent it i pretty much changed the entire plot of my book. lol!
LALALA!!! NO ONE EVER CHECKS THIS THREAD! I'M BORED!! XD XD XD
Let's see ... What have I accomplished today?Wellll ... I wrote a little bit of Shades. And I'm starting to work on this new story called Walking Shadow. only i don't know if that will go anywhere. ><
Haha thnx. So far it hasn't rlly gone anywhere but I'm working on it. ;)
thankies!umm today i haven't written anything. But I edited chapters 5 and 6 of Reborn! so i think that counts ...
awesome! I always count editing anyways. ha ha. :D
haha me too. because when i edit i tend to ... well ... rewrite a lot of stuff. :P lol!
Hey pplz ...Today I have to go teach little kids how to draw for six hours! :P
Then I'll come home and try to get some writing done. ><
i'm back!!! and after i drink some coffee perhaps I will write a little ... if i happen to get over my writer's block in the next hour or so. O_o

Keep the faith! Remember that every "no" is closer to a "yes."
I found the following link that I think might help :]

The most important thing...is keep writing! You are very talented.
I believe in you :]
Thanks Dee! :D I'm still trying :)LOL thanks for the link! that was really funny XD wow, some agents are so tacky! i laughed so hard when i read about the author who just got a big fat "NO" stamp on his/her letter. lol >< it's good to know that i'm not the only one going through rejection ... and none of the ones i've gotten have been that tacky. mostly just the "keep trying, but this isn't right for us" letter. lol.

Okay, I do hope though that the director for the HP movies 1&2 does a better job on these movies than he did for those first two. Because I love the new director for the HP movies. Way better special effects. :D

Definitely... but in HP 1&2 director person's defense, they probably had a smaller budget then because HP was less popular, resulting in *drumroll please* worse special effect. I think they probably have a good budget for PJ... it's very popular. *crosses fingers hopefully*
True to that.
Oh, who knows Tink, I just can't wait to see it. 2010 is sooo far away!

TEN QUERIES??? You're like, so totally wicked!!! :D
A quote to live by (through rejections):When life gives you lemons, chuck 'em back and say "That all you got?" Then duck so they don't hit you with those watermelons.
LOLZ :P
My cousin sent the longest apology letter to me over facebook, he really didn't have to, but anyways back to your story :D
Maybe if you read it through a couple times, I mean why is it the plot doesn't make sense to her? Ask her how it doesn't make sense. If she just says it does, then maybe use context clues. Lol read the chapter before, and the next chapter, and see how it fits?
Because for one thing, you're the author, it's your book. If your mom see's something, where you don't see where it should be fixed, then maybe you could just move on with it. Or you could fix it to a certain point, and then move on again.
Because whenever I edited my story, I would read through it once and edit it, then i'd come back later, and realize that I missed a whole section, where it just never fit anywhere in the book, or it was just a really poorwritten section. So I don't know if any of this helps or not, but I hope it does. :D
