@writerlexi1216 Wow, that’s a lot of words!!! (And I love the excerpt you posted–it’s simply beautiful). Sorry for disappearing on you! I think I ended up writing, like, 179 words. Which, though it was far less than I wanted to, it was technically for an exam, so I’m alright with it. #happyfinalsweektome

April 27, 2021 at 10:00 am #98598I recognize that everyone’s probably in/doing school at this early hour, but I’m going to be sprinting (aka working on my final exam) starting at :00, so anyone’s welcome to hop in if they want!

April 27, 2021 at 10:04 am #98599Thanks, Elizabeth!! 😀 Haha, that was an… interesting scene that I wrote yesterday. Not sure what’s going to happen, but that’s what I signed up for with NaNo, I guess. XD. Oooh, that’s a fantastic word count!! And *pained smile* I’m proud of you for actually writing for school, because me on the other hand… *ignores my thousands of un-written English papers haunting me* *sighs* I tend to procrastinate. Anyways, thanks for inviting me to sprint!! It was awesome!!:D *high-fives*

April 27, 2021 at 10:52 am #98601@writerlexi1216 Ehehe, I can tell>:P Ah yes, unexpected NaNo things are just lovely, aren’t? It really just yanks your story in all sorts of beautifully unexpected places. I’m sure you’ll figure it out soon though! 😀 And heh, thanks–I also tend to procrastinate, but in this case, my “Christ and Culture” class is like, “Oh? You want to graduate? W r i t e f o u r e s s a y s t h e n:)” So yay!:P And thank you for sprinting with me!!! ‘Twas very lovely–we should definitely do it again soon!:D

April 27, 2021 at 11:13 am #98602Heh, I guess so, huh? I feel like my characters are turning to me with questions about where the story is going, and I just shrug and haven’t the slightest idea. Only four more days of NaNo left, though!:D Oh, yikes. Writing four essays doesn’t sound ideal :\ Good luck with it! You’ll do just fine–I’m certain of it. 🙂 Graduation is just around the corner, after all, so then you can bid farewell to essays/homework once and for all 😛 Of course, anytime!! Yes, we will definitely do it again very soon!:D
April 27, 2021 at 11:50 am #98603@writerlexi1216 Ha! That’s exactly how I interact with my characters XD Hey, we’ll figure it out someday, right? Whohoo!! You should celebrate when you come to the end of NaNo–that’s such a feat. You’re so close!!!! You can do it!!!!:D
Thank you so much for your kind words! <3 <3 I actually just submitted said four essays (which I ended up writing 1,466 words of during my spring), so I’m one step closer to never doing homework again!:P

April 27, 2021 at 12:09 pm #98604Ah… interacting with characters is one of the most enjoyable and lovable things about writing, isn’t it? Most of the time, that is XD Yes, of course we will! *high-fives* Haha, maybe I will!! Thank you so much for the motivation!! I’m scheduled to write around 9,000-ish words(?) before Friday to meet my NaNo objective, so… *gulp* *thumbs up* we’ll just see how things turn out, eh? Thank you SO much!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀
No problem!! <33 *gasps* Yay, good for you!! The very best of luck with your last several days!! It’s going to feel so amazing, and not having homework will be pure freedom XD You’ve got this!!:)
April 27, 2021 at 7:11 pm #98612Okay. So, I know I might be jumping in on a conversation here, but I saw your book cover yesterday while I was flipping through the posts. GIRL, that is completely AWESOME!!!! Just sayin’. 😉

TeenWritersNook.comApril 27, 2021 at 7:33 pm #98619Oh, girl, sooo sorry I never responded to the last thing you had sent to me! Since you didn’t come back, I had thought I had been sprinting on my own and just ended up quitting. And then I wasn’t back on my computer until late last night. I’m sooo sorry!! <33

TeenWritersNook.comApril 27, 2021 at 8:15 pm #98620All right, I’ve got to go for now. Thanks so much for sprinting with me!! Just the motivation I needed. XD Heading out at :13 with 343 words, my favorite of which being these:
Compassion and tenderness overtook him as he saw Tess’s fists, clinched almost white. Her pale face made her freckles seem all the darker, and she nibbled at her lip. Her eyes met Rowan’s, deep pools of ever-changing color. Sadness danced there, and some fear, intensifying the green and the brown and the blue.
Idk, might be too dramatic with the “deep pools” but it makes me happy XD. Thanks so much for sprinting with me! <333
