@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… ๐
Of course he is!ย Zac is the best character out of both books. ๐
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. ๐
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
May 23, 2018 at 1:50 pm #73016@rochellaine Just saw your comment ‘tell Zac I will marry him’! haha, seriously though, I feel the same. ๐
Just reached the end of everything. Man, that book was emotionally draining… but so. good.

www.jennaterese.comMay 23, 2018 at 1:58 pm #73018@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. ๐
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! ๐
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
May 23, 2018 at 2:05 pm #73020@rochellaine Yes, poor Zac….was trying not to cry while I’m at my aunt’s house ๐
Editing’s going okay. This is how I’m feeling though:
the book looks so much worse when I go back to edit ๐

www.jennaterese.comMay 23, 2018 at 2:15 pm #73022@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. ๐
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
May 23, 2018 at 2:17 pm #73023@rochellaine yeah I’m definitely the opposite. ๐ but I have to get it done before July 20th, so having a deadline is kinda giving me the push i need. ๐
how is your western going?

www.jennaterese.comMay 23, 2018 at 2:21 pm #73024@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.” ๐ย 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.
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
May 23, 2018 at 2:28 pm #73025@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* ๐ 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?
I'm a Kapeefer 'TIL WE'RE OLD AND GREY!
www.jennaterese.comMay 23, 2018 at 2:36 pm #73026@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. ๐
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
May 23, 2018 at 2:40 pm #73027@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.I'm a Kapeefer 'TIL WE'RE OLD AND GREY!
www.jennaterese.comMay 23, 2018 at 2:40 pm #73028…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.
(I’m on part two of the first oneย @jenwriter17 andย @rochellaine…no spoilers)

www.jennaterese.comMay 23, 2018 at 3:00 pm #73037@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
