If we could see beyond the shore

Dear Yuletide Author,

This is my first time doing Yuletide I have been led to believe that leaving a post explaining some of my likes is expected. Or encouraged. Or something.

So! First off, thank you so much for whatever it is that you write for me. I am ultimately easy to please. Anything you write, I'll be happy with!

However, if you are interested in more details, I am happy to oblige (I will admit, I enjoy talking about myself quite a bit!). ( This might get a little long? )

So, there you have it, Yuletide Writer! I hope this post is helpful - I'll be sticking it to the top of my journal for easy finding, should you need to come back to it.

Thank you again! I'm looking forward to whatever you write and I already know I will love it. <3333

So I broke 1,000 words in my Yuletide fic. \o/ This pleases me greatly! I have (most of) a beginning and (most of) an end - all I need is a middle. THE HARD PART. :|

I was weak and bought paid time on DW. Heeeeey, it expired and my icons went back to 15. I WAS SAD. :(

It is officially the 19th! Which means Christmas isn't far away. Which means January isn't far away. AND THEN THE HOLIDAY SEASON WILL BE BEHIND US. :D

I can't complain though, since I actually kind of like Christmas. I mean, not for all that sentimental crap, but because I get presents and presents fill me with glee. I AM THE REASON CHRISTMAS LOST IT'S TRUE ~MEANING~. XD

I'm borrowing Crisis Core from someone. I have been told I will cry. I ALREADY KNEW THAT OKAY. :(

...

I really like how every paragraph ends in capslock and an emoticon. YEAH. \o/

Halfway point, yes! I'm so happy with how things are going! :D

Also, I've not actually said anything about what I'm writing about. So!

I'm writing a horror story called The Unwilling Summon (I would say that's the working title but I've managed to get pretty attached to it, no matter how cheesy it is!). It's about this boy, Josh Walkens (seventeen) who has seen hallucinations and things all his life. After the suicidal death of his father, however, those visions get more intense. He and his mother decide to move to a small town in Virginia called High Point. Each step in the journey, however, the visions get worse and Josh realizes that he's going exactly where they want him to go.

dun dun DUUUUUUN.

So yes. This is horror but it's also YA with a dash of romance (I had no intentions of adding that romance in but damn it, Josh and Kevin insisted). So far things are going pretty well, though there are some problems - Josh, as a protagonist, goes back and forth between Mr. Sarcastic Guy and Mr. Shy Guy and I can't decide how I really want him to be; the road trip is a little redundant, however there are some pretty good scenes in; I have no idea how I am at building up tension and suspense. These are issues for December though! For now, I'm pretty pleased with how it's going and I'm hoping I can hit 30,000 tomorrow. I hope, I hope, I hope!

And for those of you who totally don't care about NaNo, Signups for Yuletide are a go! Are you ready? I SURE AM.

And for those of you who totally don't care about NaNo or Yuletide...I'm sorry. I got nothing. :(

SO. I'm actually going to participate in Yuletide this year (first time and I'm scared!). Fandom nominations are up and I nominated Here is Greenwood, Hellboy (movie), Zombieland, Let Dai, Spirited Away, and Petshop of Horrors. A nice mixture, I feel, and FUCK YEAH, ZOMBIELAND.

Also, the NaNoWriMo site is up! My profile is here - if you're doing NaNo this year, add me to your buddy list!

Speaking of which, I had a story planned out and then strongmekachan told me about this story she read when she was a kid and then that gave me an insta-bunny and now? My genre has switched from fantasy to horror. FUNNY, THAT.

I finally bought a stylus for my tablet. It should get here tomorrow OMG YAY.
