      @jenwriter17 I think I’d had a nap that afternoon, and when I have a really long nap I don’t get tired at night.ย  Therefore it’s not a very good idea for me to take a nap, usually… ๐Ÿ˜›

      Of course he is!ย  Zac is the best character out of both books. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      At the end of the document there are comments from a couple of the readers, which were pretty fun to write.ย  Wait till you get there. ๐Ÿ™‚

        @rochellaine Just saw your comment ‘tell Zac I will marry him’! haha, seriously though, I feel the same. ๐Ÿ˜›

        Just reached the end of everything. Man, that book was emotionally draining… but so. good.

          @jenwriter17 Yes!ย  Seriously, you kept raving about Justice, but I didn’t like him in the first book because he was too emotionless, and while I like him better in this book, he’s now an emotional wreck, basically, and I much prefer Zac.ย  SeekJustice says if Quillon came alive she’d marry him, but it’d have to be Zac for me. ๐Ÿ˜›

          Ah, yes.ย  And my poor Zac!ย  I have a kind of grudge against every other character in the book because I can think of several ways they could have solved their problems without letting Zac die.ย  Really.

          So, now it’s on to the editing?ย  Are you nearly done?ย  I want to reeeeaaad iiiiiit! ๐Ÿ˜›

            @rochellaine Yes, poor Zac….was trying not to cry while I’m at my aunt’s house ๐Ÿ˜‰

            Editing’s going okay. This is how I’m feeling though:

            the book looks so much worse when I go back to edit ๐Ÿ™

              @jenwriter17 Haha, I’m sorry.ย  I was telling SeekJustice a couple of days ago that the editing is the easiest part for me.ย  It’s the writing that’s much harder!ย  It can take me a couple of hours to edit something that took me several days to write.ย  Sounds like you have the opposite problem. ๐Ÿ˜›

                @rochellaine yeah I’m definitely the opposite. ๐Ÿ˜‰ but I have to get it done before July 20th, so having a deadline is kinda giving me the push i need. ๐Ÿ™‚

                how is your western going?

                  @jenwriter17 Slowly, slowly!ย  My sister came in a few days ago and said, “I was just thinking, I haven’t read your book in a while, so maybe I can read the new parts now?”ย  And I said, “There’s nothing new.ย  I’ve written, like, a few paragraphs.” ๐Ÿ™ย  Part of the problem is that I just don’t make myself sit down and write, though.ย  I get distracted really easily.ย  So I could write faster if I actually focused and worked exclusively on the story for a set amount of time.

                    @rochellaine Yeah, distractions are definitely hard to deal with. It doesn’t make it any better that all my writing is done on my laptop. *glares at Pinterest and Youtube* *as I’m listening to music on Youtube* ๐Ÿ˜› I know I could try handwriting, but that’s way too slow for me. and with all my other hobbies that use my hands a lot, adding handwriting makes my hand cramp up.

                    are you feeling writer’s block maybe?

                      @jenwriter17 No, not really writer’s block.ย  I know what to write.ย  It’s more lethargy.ย  I’m not excited about writing.ย  Usually when that happens I just work on something else for a while, just like I do when I have writer’s block.ย  But lately I haven’t been excited about writing anything at all.

                      Theoretically, I’m actually still excited about writing.ย  In my head I have lots of plans and am really interested in getting them down on paper/computer screen, but when I sit down to write I just don’t, for some reason.ย  I think the best way to cure it is probably just to keep writing. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                        @rochellaine I see. Something that always seems to get me motivated is to listen to songs that remind me of my WIP or makeย anotherย a collage, or maybe even take my laptop to a cafe or park to write in a different environment.

                          …YOU BETTER NOT HAVE MADE JONAS OR RAIN VILLAINS AND YOU BETTER NOT KILL THEM OFF. If you did I will fly to Australia, hunt you down, and force you to rewrite your book.

                              @jenwriter17, yep, I started it yesterday, and then the kids computer decided not to connect to the internet so I had to wait until I could use my mom’s.

                                  @jenwriter17, I noticed. I tend to read through the last page to catch up on what people are talking about, but I saw the name Justice and quickly went to the bottom
