Brigid's Writing Challenge :)

yes, yes i did finish! yay me. ^^ and it only took me two months. woot.
omg thats AWESOME!!! congrats brigid! *cue applause*
yes congrats brigid!!! *applauds* yaayyyy!!! that's a record, isn't it? you finished reborn in three months, right? haha XD
yep. reborn took three months. injection took two.you know, every book i've written so far took a shorter time to write AND is longer than the one before it. if that makes sense ... o.O
yeah, it makes sense. that's really cool! haha. maybe the next book will take one month!! haha. XD

day 2: sooo i'm starting a new story. i am titling it The Zenith -- idk why yet, exactly, but zenith is a cool word and a cool title so i'll make it fit somehow. ><i should also finish the chapter for me and fiona's story. >< *guilt guilt guilt*
Brigid wrote: "ugh i think i'll kill myself ... >< lol"oh oh...o.0 lol
anyways...
woot brigid!! the new story's title is soo cool. XD can't wait to read it when you finish the first chapter!! XD XD XD
day 3: i finished my chapter for me and my sister's story. yay.
day 4: must work on the zenith ... uggghhh ... well i've already written like three hundred words today. yay.
yay!! goo brigid!! XDbtw, what does zenith mean?
Mod
Or at least, that's what I THINK the word zenith means. But I don't think that's what it means in her story.
yes, it means that. it also means, like, a climax, or a turning point. and it's a cool word.
day 5: sooo i'm kind of putting off my work on the zenith. now i'm adding stuff to Reborn and attempting to edit it. fun fun fun NOT
coolio!! do you know why you named it zenith?yay go brigid. good luck editing it...even if it's not fun..lol XD
no, i don't really know why yet ... it'll fit in somehow. ><and yeah ... editing ... ARGH. my grammar is awful. so many fragments!!!!! (see, that was a fragment right there!)
well, today i'll hopefully have time to do more editing, after school, three hours of work, and then getting my homework done. alsdk;fj;askdjf;alskdjf;asdkj
wish me luck.
yeah, titles always work out. XDwell, i use fragments all the time. and i think that they're good to use. and you don't always have to follow the rules...
good luck!! XD
Mod
Hey Brigid,
I agree with Sella, fragments are not such a bad thing...Especially in dialog. In the real word, dialog is fragmented ALL the time :]
Of course, knowing proper grammar is important. But...once you have learned the rules, and only when you have learned the rules...then it is time to break them, or at least bend them a wee bit.
thanks Dee. XDi know, i know ... i'm allowed to break grammar rules once in a while, but it still kinda bothers me. i'll let myself use a fragment once in a while, but if i have twenty fragments on a page, it irritates me. >< aggh. i leave fragments in dialogue, but i try to take out some of the other ones. i mean, grammar rules don't bother me too much, but sometimes ppl lecture me about it when they read my writing, like, "ugh your grammar is TERRIBLE!!" and then i feel bad. >.<
day 6: edited Rebornday 7: SNOW DAY!!! THANK GOD!!! MORE EDITING!!! MORE MORE MORE!!!
To the above comment: Its a totally different problem with me. I hardly ever use fragments (lol that i know of. i ususally don't go back and read it when it still isn't finished ><.) I USUALLY have way long sentences that have tons of commas, which is also not following grammar. It sucks.
yeah, i know. It either snows 5 feet, which it never does, and then it's a snow day.
Or if there's a white out and you can't see out your front door.
