Random book. You know those random books people have?
Tags. Art. Announcements. Blog-ish sort of things. Random facts about their characters. Tags. Tags. More tags.
Yeah... that's pretty much what this is.
I know, I know, you want to read it. They a...
I mean... I didn't even get a tag. I just thought this looked cool and procrastination on writing is fun amirite?

Soooo... have I ever:
Killed a character? Yep. Not as many as a lot of people, but hey, I've done my share. XD
Gotten a one star review? I don't think I've ever been given starred reviews, but I've had people who intensely disliked my writing... so yes?
Cried over editor notes? Don't think so. But Ambassador International hasn't finished going through The Journey yet, so - *cue me gulping and biting my nails and prepping large baskets of handkerchiefs*
Lost NaNoWriMo? Nope! Never done it. Mwahaha.
Drunk a whole pot of coffee? Never! I hate coffee.
Gotten a rejection letter? LOTS!
Mixed its with it's? Sometimes when it's 1 a.m. and my brain is no longer functioning on a grammatical level, yes...
Written while at a Starbucks? No siree. Never stepped inside one.
Stayed in pajamas all day? When I was sick, yes, but I fail to see what that has to do with writing. XD
Forgotten a character's name? ARE YOU KIDDING? Yes. *headdesks*
Here, let me show you a quick scene.
Autumn, writing: "...Therelane, son of--"
Wait a sec what is his dad's name?
Gandalf--no, that's what it USED to be. Gerald? No, no, no. At least, I hope not. I already HAVE a Gerald, good grief. Does it start with G at all? Okay, I'll just make up one. I probably haven't mentioned his dad's name before anyway.
*makes up a name*
Two months later, Autumn reading different chapter: "...Therelane, son of Guron..."
*multiple facepalms* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This happens too many times for comfort.
Back to the questions...
Obsessed over adding or deleting a comma? Yeah, once in a while.
Cried while writing an emotional scene? You bet.
Posted on writer forums? Does Wattpad count?
Joined a Facebook group for authors? *runs over to check* Yep!
Deleted an entire chapter? During the editing process, I once deleted several chapters and rewrote all of them several times.
Lied about being a pantser or a plotter? Uh... no... why would I? I like what Silmarilz1701 called herself: a plantser. I do a lot of outlining and jotting notes but I don't mind being surprised by a sublot that comes nubbing out of nowhere and flowers into the story by itself.
Missed a deadline? Yes.
Gotten distracted by Facebook: I can get distracted over ANYTHING. But Facebook actually rarely distracts me unless I'm chatting with nightwraith17 hehe
Cringed at my old writing? *cups hand over ear* Are there... are there any of you writers out there who haven't? I'm scared of you...
Been asked, "Where do you get your ideas?" My gut response was no. *thinks about it* Still no.
If any of you want to come out of the shadows and tell me you've asked me that question before, go ahead.
Brainstormed in the shower? Yeah, did that recently.
Talked out loud to a character? All. The. Freaking. Time.
Lied about reading a classic novel? Seriously, what is it with these questions? I was brought up to not lie, people. Of course, that doesn't mean I never did lie, but of all the things I ever lied about, reading books wasn't one of them.
Obsessed over word count? Maybe? Nah not really. It gives me a pleasurable feeling to see I've written a lot but I wouldn't term it obsession.
Pulled an all-nighter writing? The closest I've ever gotten is about 2:30 in the morning. I'd prefer to keep it that way.
