I added links to the bottom of my Halloween contest entry for the other stories in the "universe," if you will, of Henry Harrelson's Custom Fit Boots, in case anybody is interested in reading the other stories set there.

I'm working on getting things together and edited for publication! This is exciting!

I wanted to write today.

I TRIED to write today.

Okay, I did write, a bit.

But not nearly as much as I wanted to.

Hiya peeps!

It's me again, and like always, I'm in search of validation of my meager writing skills.

Or, no, wait, that's not it at all for once!

That is what I have written today.

In terms of digital writing stuff (at least related to TG fiction) this is the most I've written in the last several months.

The Free Bundle

Not only are they neat free games, but a chance to help out a sister in need. Now, is that not worth it?

I've done writing! Yay!

...On something people want to read, even!

Maybe!

I was reading a blog post earlier wherein one of the commenters mentioned that this site is not appropriate for teens.

She's right. That's why we have the age warning on the very first page after typing in the address, after all.

But, how hard would it be to do something that WAS specifically for transgendered teens?

For my zone, anyway.

I have settled on an idea for my novel for NaNoWriMo.

It is cheesy. It is historically inaccurate. It will likely tick a number of people off.

It will also be a blast.

I think I've posted a blog asking this same question in the past, but I can't remember and I can't find it, so I'll just go ahead and do it again.

How many people here prefer writing their stories by hand before taking them to the screen?

Heya peeps! Long time no hear, right?

Let's kick this thing off right, then.

How many here can tell me the difference between good writing and great writing?

Anybody?

A tough question, right? After all, there are so many ways to judge a particular work. Great characters, but crappy story line? A great story, but terrible dialogue? Mediocre everything, but nothing particularly wrong with any one part? What makes a work of writing good, and what makes one bad?

Alright, this should probably be in the forum section, but meh.

I'm asking this here, because I've cruised the Crystal Hall forums and found lots of contradicting recommendations from fans and don't recall ever really seeing an official response. So, here goes:

What IS the recommended reading order for the Whateley Academy stories?

I could always go strictly by posting date, but that seems inefficient and ends up with having to backtrack a lot as character's stories are started at the beginning of the year chronologically but much later as far as when they were written.

Let's face it, we've all had our off days in writing. Heck, lately that seems to be ALL I've been having.

Given that, some times we just need a little help kickstarting our creativity, right?

Yup, that's right. In the span of the last five weeks, I've had TWO birthdays, my actual "OMG I'm a year older" one, and my BCTS birthday as well.

I just posted the 2012 Ultimate Writer's Challenge challenge list in the forum.

For those still interested in trying to finish enough of the 2011 set to get the prize, there's still time! It's open 'til March 1, 2012 for those who wanna try to get it, and of course, it's not like I'm gonna tell people they can't write stories off the list's ideas whenever they want anyhow.
