@seekjustice And I’m working on, guess what? My western! ๐ย Of course.
Did you have fun at camp?

May 22, 2018 at 1:31 am #72941Well, at least your working on something. ๐
It was really good, I liked it a lot. But I’m still exhausted!

May 22, 2018 at 1:48 am #72942@seekjustice Yup, yup!ย That’s what happens.ย You go on vacation, then you need a vacation from the vacation! ๐
How is Stars coming along?ย Is it nearly done? (Translation: Will I get to read it again soon?)
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
May 22, 2018 at 1:50 am #72943Exactly right. Now I’m looking at Jen’s pinterest and choking on laughter ๐
It’s coming along well. (Translation of that being: I’ve edited 3,000 out of 103,000 words. Yeah, hopefully you’ll be able to read it before you’re…too old.)

May 22, 2018 at 2:07 am #72944@seekjustice Is it strange that I don’t have a pinterest account? ๐
Haha, well, that’s the way I feel with my western.ย I was wondering if maybe we’re opposites when it comes to writing and editing?ย It takes me forever to write even a little, but I can edit pretty quickly, (as you might remember from the time I rewrote that passage of the western for you,) while you can write several thousand words a day, (if I didn’t know it was a fact I’d say it was impossible… ๐ ) but seem to be having trouble getting a lot of editing done.
Speaking of editing, have you talked with your mom about the Skype thing?ย I have a habit of pushing things way off and procrastinating, so I am trying to remind myself of your story every once in a while.

May 22, 2018 at 2:42 am #72945I don’t know…Personally, I love Pinterest even though its…super distracting!
Editing takes me forever. When I’m doing a first draft, I literally just write, I don’t edit at all, so it takes only a few weeks. But editing…I agonise over every single word. Everything has to beย better. I become obsessed and spiral into madness. That’s why I only edit the things I really, reallyย really like.
Do you think you would be able to attempt to talk about it through email? I’m one of thoseย
terrified anxiousuh, shy, people who won’t even talk on the phone…at all, if it can be helped?INFP Queen of the Kingdom commander of an army of origami cranes and a sabre from Babylon.
May 22, 2018 at 3:19 am #72946@seekjustice I never understand pinterest. ๐ย I look at stuff on it once in a while, but not often.
I edit, and edit, and edit, too. ๐ย But I do it with everything. All those little “first chapter” bits that I write when I have an idea, but not the time to complete it?ย I go through them all and edit once in a while, whenever I am looking for something new to write.
Okay, I can try.ย I understand, because I used to be quite horrified of the thought of talking on the phone.ย I’ve had a lot of practice, though, and now it’s easy.ย (You should practice, too. ๐ I promise, it gets easier! ๐ )ย I’ll try to send you an email in a little while.
But now I’m dropping out to go to sleep.ย See you later!ย Goodnight.

May 22, 2018 at 3:29 am #72947I enjoy it, mostly because I often manage to find character pictures on it :D. But I get so distracted as well. (Whoops)
And yep, I understand all those random first sentences that you scribble down and find randomly? They’d make great prompts though.
*breaths a sigh of relief* I’ll practise, I promise. and it would be super cool to actually see and talk to you one day. Actually, it would be even cooler in person, but I guess that’s not happening for a few years at least.
Good night!
