Forecast: Busy with a Chance of Lame

I have a way of putting a lot on my plate, and, well, I've done just that. Let me tell you about how busy I've forced myself to be. At least if you don't count the procrastinating, since I do that a lot.

First off, I'm writing two oneshots for the Jekyll and Cullen contest. My oneshots are usually long, and depending on how motivated and inspired I am, they don't take long to finish. I'm hoping to get my first oneshot done by Monday, and then hopefully jump into my next one.

If I'm not jumping into the next one it's because I'm working on Losing Signal. I actually want to pre-write some chapters for LS, which I will explain in a bit.

I'm also working on a new story. I have the first chapter written and beta'd a gazillion times, but I will not be posting it until I get at least 5 chapters written. So, if I want to post it sooner rather then later I really need to get writing for that.

But, I only have a month to accomplish all this. Why? Well, in April I'm taking on Script Frenzy.


Script Frenzy is a thing that goes along with National Novel Writing Month. I participated in that back in November and had a blast, but mostly because I was doing it with friends. This year it's just me (unless I find someone) and it may be a little more challenging, seeing as how I've never written a script before. I'm excited to be challenging myself and seeing if maybe script writing is for me. But I'm going a month without writing fanfic, therefore I need to have something to update. I'm willing to suffer a month to gain a month of fun.

When I'm not busy with writing, I'm usually beta'ing, tweeting on twitter, chatting on skype, doing stupid things, eating, sleeping, watching a movie or two.

Other writing things that are out there: Coffee Break, Flesh & Blood, and my TT25 prompts.

*sigh* March, please be kind to me.

Confessions of a Lazy, Wanting, Needing, Bum

It's Monday. Almost 5pm, however, by the time I've finished this blog and posted it it'll be about almost six. I really should not be doing this, I should be writing chapter two of Flesh and Blood (No! that is not a link! How dare you accuse me of such things! ;P) because we haven't updated for a month. Today, this day, it's a month. Happy anniversary Jenny Bear! Our first collab and we've managed to fail at it. Joy to the world, we suck ass. Ah, yes. Oh well. They've waited a month, they can wait a few more days. I have written something today, so I'm not a complete waste of space. Except, what I did write was very bad and not useful. If you know me, or at least know me enough, then you'll know I want to write a Mike-central fic. Why? Because I love Mike.

<-- Look at that face.

Hot...compared to that face:

A REAL Mike Newton -->

Haha, he's got Tom from Myspace pose going on. The over the shoulder look. Mmm...yes.

Now that I'm done posting pictures of men that slightly creep me out, I'll get on with it. So basically, writing a fic about Mike is on my to do before I die list. I'm not sure why, really, I'm not. I even want to do one about Jessica. I guess I'm just a fan of the 'humans.' Sorry, SM. Your Edwiener could never do it for me the way he probably should. But I actually like me not really liking Edward, so I guess it's a double win for me. I'd prefer someone non-sparkly like Mike, or Jacob, or Alec...wait... Let's just pretend he doesn't sparkle, deal? Now, I have about a gazillion documents that start off with Mike, but they always fail. Just yesterday I wrote a prologue for a semi-story about Mike, but that failed. FAILURE IS FAIL.
/rant.

I just want to write about Mike and be happy. Is that so much to ask?

Now, a word from my sponsor, Pedobear.

Books are Love

I don't blog much, which I will slowly try & change. But for now, let's do some book/movie rec's.

Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott is a unique, twisted, and dark book. I bet at first you'd think something zombie-esque, but you'd be wrong. This has nothing to do with horror or monsters, well that depends on what you classify as monsters. It's about a girl named Alice, however, that is not her real name. She was kidnapped when she was only 10 by a man named Ray. There's no reason as to way he picked 'Alice', just that she was alone and lost. Ray has a fetish for little girls, but he thinks what he's doing is good for Alice. She, on the other hand, has basically given all hope. She does what he wants, she comforts him when he beats her and it's an all-around tragic story that is not meant for some who cannot handle the bad things in life. The chapters are short, as is the book. Depending on how fast you read, this book could be finished in an hour. The ending was unbelieveable heartbreaking but you can't help but to rejoice. I wouldn't suggest this book to everyone, only those who can handle the darker side of life. Lei, sisterhoodfan, read this book, she did not like it. This book is indeed fucked up, but it's amazing and real. If one were to read this book, they'd be forever touched and more aware of life. But I do rec it to those willing to read; and those mature enough. I wouldn't want someone under the age of 13 reading this. It's too much to take in, but it's worth it in the end run.

The Screwed Up Life of Charlie the Second by Drew Ferguson is a odd little book. It's about Charlie (clearly) and how his life is screwed up. Can't get much more obvious then that ;) Charlie is gay, and he's a geek. He one of those boys that stick out like sore thumb, but not in a good way. He's got his eyes set on the new boy, who also is gay. The main goal of this book is Charlie trying to define who he is in an essay. After getting busted by the cops at a party, his father forces him to write one. (At this point, I'm wishing I re-read it.) Rob, the new boy/soccer star/Charlie's new boyfriend is a fun character. He's used to being gay and being with other boys, therefore he's able to teach Charlie a few things about the naughty things in life. You instantly love Rob because he's down to earth and happens to make Charlie happy. (You'll love Charlie more, just saying.) Rob's mother is sick, and when she dies and Charlie confesses that Rob's father might have killed her on purpose, a shit load of things go down. But, I'm keeping my mouth shut. Charlie's just dealing with life, like we we all are, but from his eyes it's more fun and more real. This book is a Young Adult type, and mostly met for us teens, unless parents like this stuff. I'd say it's worth reading. Waring: Butt sex and blowjobs.
