Okay so lately I’ve completely switched types, I always thought I was completely into dark haired guys, but lately I’m really into blonde guys. But it’s kinda weird, because in books I’m always kind of in love with dark haired guys (like Percy). But in school and like real people, I’m lately more into blondes, but maybe it’s because the last two guys I liked were blonde… I’m just confused lol
          	But idk, does this happen to any of you?

Would you think that if Annabeth died, Percy would eventually fall in love again? 
          Not that he moves on, I don’t think he ever could, but more that he finds someone who he cares about, maybe even loves, makes him happy. I was always on the firm believe that Percy could never, but I reread PJO again this summer to get more in touch with canon Percy again; because after reading a lot of fanfiction and writing about the character yourself, I kind of lost him. I always try to stay as close to canon as possible, with my own story twist on it. But I don’t know, I think he perhaps could and that it would be fun writing about it. I don’t think I’d want to add it into my timeline, but more as a fun worked out head canon. 
          What do you think?

@Riptide_the_pen I know this is like extremely late, but he would go to the Underworld, threaten Hades so he lets her go, if he doesn't he'd call Athena and start an arhument on why she should help him (he'll have many to argue with), and then threaten Hades again with the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategie by his side. If that doesn't work he'll find away to free Annabeth's soul and bring her back to life

@Twilight_the_Cat I totally agree with you!! I don’t think he could do it, especially with his fatal flaw being loyalty and well a love like theirs isn’t easy to get over. 
            Though Percy can be handled a lot different than how he is in canon if you look in the wrong places - like that people make him out to be stupid and arrogant - and I love long comments so I really don’t mind.

Can someone please help me? 
          One of the first piece of advice I got about writing is that I should never use said. At least to try and avoid it, but you get what I mean. So I do that, and I think it improves writing and makes it less boring. But in “regular books”, they use “said” all the time. Like for example in Percy Jackson and the Olympians. But does someone have a reasonable explanation? Idk it was just something I noticed while reading and writing at the same time.

SpartanSB17

Don’t use said if your using present tense but if your book is written in past tense like Percy Jackson than yes use said. The only time you would use said in present tense is like “I remember what Annabeth said.” But in past you can use it like, “I love you,” I said to Annabeth.

@booksarelife84 It wasn’t too long an explanation for me!! I really like long, especially if it adds to the explanation so thank you so much!! You really helped me

Can anybody relate to the pain of writing a crucial part of your story - around the 1000 words - and then reading it again and it’s just not right, so you delete it and start over again…
          And then an hour of work, gone
          But everything to improve the story, right?

@Trumbridge I totally agree with you, it hurts so much

Today at school really sucked.
          We had PE and were playing baseball, but there was no teacher supervising us. For context; I’m bad at sports, but I try my best okay? 
          So we were playing and my position was second base, so I had to catch the ball sometimes. But it all went wrong when one of the boys said to me to tap them out, but for that I needed a ball, which I didn’t get. So another boy (the biggest asshole) shouted across the field that it was pointless to say as I didn’t understand it anyways. Everybody laughed and then the other boys started to make jokes as well, even throwing balls at me, but too high for me to even get a chance to catch it and then blame me if we lost.

@SpartanSB17 Exaclty, but like none of my real friends were in PE with me this year and the girls who were are all friends with the boys who bullied me. And the friend I thought I did have wasn’t a friend after all. But I hope next year is better

Geez!!! That’s not cool at all, highscool (or whatever) can be rough especially in. PE if you’re not athletic… try your best and get a group of friends who are nice (if you are a girl in PE the boys will make jokes about you being bad at it) Highschool sucks

@Aadi_Son_Of_Hades Thanks! And that’s beautifully said! But it is really fucked up right? He’s definitely not a real friend. But it’s like we both have a main friend group and he’s not in mine, but we sit together a lot, since he gets along with my friends and I with his and we have a lot of classes together. My other friends are great, one of them was also there but she’s shy and was too afraid to stand up against 15 guys - which I get. But I don’t get him. He could’ve easily said something about it

I’m so frustrated, I’m working on 6 one shots at the time and not one of them is ending 
          
          And I’ve got all these new ideas I want to write too, so it’s not ending 
          
          Does anybody have some advice how to focus on one thing at the time?

Riptide_the_pen

@booksarelife84 Thank you that’s great advice! I was also thinking of sitting down one half an hour a day to write to get some things done

@Riptide_the_pen Maybe sit and re read the half written chapter a few time, it helps think of new ideas... if you can't think of one, go through all of them one at a time, you will surely get at least one idea

Riptide_the_pen

@Trumbridge That’s true, I don’t know how a schedule would work for me, but I always write new ideas down and come back to them eventually, but I’m going to try to finish my one shots that I have written out

Does anybody know if the Music Man is any good? I truly don’t know and don’t hear anything about it. It also doesn’t really sound that interesting to me

@Riptide_the_pen OMG I LOVE MUSIC MAN!!! As a band geek who loves classic musical vibes, its just a load of fun. My theatre’s putting it on next June, so I’m SO EXCITED to audition for it :)
            
            But to answer your question, if you like older musicals and charming con artists, you’ll definitely like this one.

Hi, I have a small question one shots related…
          
          Well it’s more an announcement, but whatever.
          
          Okay, so I just got an idea for what would be a really good part 2 for Days of Summer, that summer fling one shot I wrote. But I already wrote a part 2 last year and it was fine, but I also like this idea. And I could do a whole new story, but honestly I loves the vibe that one shot has and it all fits perfectly. So what do you guys think? Well I am going to do it, but maybe it’s a bit weird?

Hey I haven't read any of your works yet(there next on my list) but I just wanna say that I love your Winnie the pooh background

Riptide_the_pen

@thepertemisreader Well, all is Percabeth or more something about Percy tbh and I’d recommend my one shots. If I were you I’d skip a few of the first few one shots, they’re not the best tbh. My other ones are stories that are still being written or rewritten. I’d love to hear your opinions on all of them though!!
