Well you're inspiring me way more than I am for you (which is insane btw, that's never happened with another Writer before so thanks!). Everytime I read something where you're writing like 6500 words my jaw hits the desk and I wonder how my 10 pages every month for critique group are ever getting another book done...because they're not lol It encourages me to get back to the manuscript and get words out even if they need editing later! Yes, the blogging community is quite rad!<br /><br />Caren there's not a likely chance in hell I'll get to even half the stuff I WANT to get to once this thing is "done" because a book is never really done, there's the marketing, writing of the next, etc...but if I do figure it out I'm bottling it and selling it lolJenn Flynn-Shonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441834864191292424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-78205123480903611962012-03-25T08:56:34.371-07:002012-03-25T08:56:34.371-07:00As I was reading this I thought, wow, someone else...As I was reading this I thought, wow, someone else does what I do. I finish some big project and I think I'm going to have ALL kinds of time suddenly to get a ton of of things done. Somehow, for me anyway, it never quite works out that way. If it does for you, more power to ya'! Really. Good luck, and congrats on the book!Caren E.

Go to 'settings' and 'comment form placement' and choose 'full page' if that's what you're looking for. <br /><br />You can use my real name if you want; it's on one of my sidebars anyway! And I have to wait until Easter at the earliest before I can see the movie. It's killing me! I told the Mrs. that I feel like Bart Simpson in the 'Itchy & Scratchy movie' episode. <br /><br />I'm so new to the process that everything you're saying here and on Writesy about your 'baby' is motivating me to keep going when the old me would have given up long ago. The people we encounter through blogging can be so supportive and hold us accountable, they give us that extra push we need when things seem overwhelming. I love it. <br />And on that note, I must get back to 'work'!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-52933884032232439922012-03-24T07:48:35.287-07:002012-03-24T07:48:35.287-07:00I wish Blogger would do what Wordpress does and le...I wish Blogger would do what Wordpress does and let you reply directly to each commenter. Scrolling up & down makes me dizzy damn it!<br /><br />Mum - thanks, I can't wait to find out that its ready to release into the wild!<br /><br />#4 - (Can I reveal your <i>real</i> identity??) Right? Marketing and stuff...I'm totally looking forward to doing all of that but administrative/formatting pages/margins & headers...bleh! I already <i>wrote</i> the damn thing, shouldn't that be enough?!? Guess I need an agent & a big-box house to get that stuff though lol. So I have to know if you went opening weekend???<br /><br />Mimi - Thanks so, so much! Yeah life gets pretty busy around these parts! That's why I have to force myself to take time off haha I appreciate the book love :-)<br /><br />Stephen - Couldn't identify with that more! Yeah I end up taking on all this stuff then my mind can't focus on any one thing specifically. Does that mean I get something done on all of them or nothing done on any of them? Tough balance...one I have yet to master!<br /><br />ML - Thanks for stopping by & for the compliment!Jenn Flynn-Shonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441834864191292424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-83038877154290134612012-03-23T12:32:17.784-07:002012-03-23T12:32:17.784-07:00I dont know how or why I stumbled in here, but hav...I dont know how or why I stumbled in here, but having done so and leaving that moot quip aside, I must admit that i leave with a smile and these words "...nice writing style"http://mindlesslampoons.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/07385882853570205218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-58995522356681155802012-03-23T10:57:35.880-07:002012-03-23T10:57:35.880-07:00You're welcome Jenn, glad to be here!

About two months ago I apparently thought "Sure, I can commit to seven writing projects simultaneously, and definitely give them all the professional attention they deserve!"

No worries about your blog absence, I think anyone who reads it would assume you've got a lot of prep work to do with your book. Really excited for you, and I will definitely order a copy (even if it is chick-lit). I had to laugh when you got swept up in the pre-orders and prep work, and put off the actual writing part! All the fun stuff is just so...fun. Isn't it? <br /><br />Maybe writing is like working out--the end result is satisfying, but the actual process is dreadful and exhausting. I don't know--I've not done enough of either haha!<br /><br />To answer your question about 'The Hunger Games', I knew a lot of people who raved about the book(s) last year, but it was always on my periphery. I mean yeah, I'm all about YA fiction, but I wanted to read more pertinent stuff first and explore the trilogy after I've exhausted my supply of teen cancer stories. <br /><br />But then all this promo stuff for the movie came raining down on me, and I'm like screaming "What is the big effing deal?" Then I heard the words 'post-apocalyptic' and 'dystopia' (I *love* all the 70's genre flicks like 'Rollerball', 'Logan's Run', 'Soylent Green' etc.) not to mention 'games' (hello, there's a *sport* involved?!?) and I was ready to cave.<br /><br />The cute blonde is just icing on the cake. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-57794990824738479312012-03-22T13:36:59.150-07:002012-03-22T13:36:59.150-07:00Thanks for the props and link to my FB fan page!
