I haven't logged in in awhile. I dread the thought of posting. But here I am. We went to the State Fair yesterday, and it was really fun. I still have my cotton candy and nobody else does, so I shall torture them with it. *feels slightly evil today*
[writing rant]
For y'all writers like me on HSB, do y'all ever get angry at your characters and blame it on them that there's a problem with the story? I'm doing that right now. With my story about the Madisons, I'm very frustrated with Alex Madison. I blame me being confused about how to say something on him, because he's supposed to say it. Is that weird? And before that, I got angry at Jeff Carswell, because I didn't know how to put something in that involved him. Is that too terribly weird? I don't really think so. :-)
And while I'm on the topic of writing, I might as well mention this. I'm writing two different stories right now. One of them is "Chloe's Peculiar Christmas Eve Adventure" (the title is eccentric because the story is) and the Madisons (which is going without title as of now). Chloe has 10 pages right now, and by the end, it will have no more than 13. So I guess you could say I'm nearly finished. And for the Madisons, I have around six pages and it will be a good deal longer than Chloe... perhaps 30 pages. When I started writing Chloe, I said I would finish it by the end of October. Then when I started writing the Madisons, I forgot about what I had said before, and said I would finish THAT one by the end of October. I don't think I can possibly finish both of those. I know, 33 pages seems like nothing for the rest of the month of October, but the Madisons story is a lot harder to write than I thought. Anyway, I am going to finish Chloe before I write another single word of the Madisons.

Augh I know! I get ticked off at my characters all the time, even if it's not their fault. And don't worry about finishing Stonewater (or the Madisons, whatever) before the end of October. 33 pages IS a lot. But I hope you can finish Chloe's story! :-)
