• to do this summer: see friends

  So I know the semester doesn't end for me until June. (I know, so far away!) But considering that I'm getting impatient now that Becca's semester is over (or almost over...?) and Lisa just did that post about how she's out of school for...

• books i don't like

  Hello friendlies. I'm sitting on my bed, in my jammies, listening to my mp3 player. WHICH IS NOT AN IPOD. But anyways. I really have nothing to say, I just feel like writing. Oh! Speaking of writing! My new novel-in-progress is up to... uh... 7,237...

• a rant on fluffiness.

  Okay. I have a few things to say tonight. Remember how way back when I said I wanted to do a post on the bible and religion ? Do you also remember how unlike the many prophecies in the bible, that never quite came to pass? Um, well. I am still working...

• princesses!!

  I started a new novel. Um, yay me? I don't know. I think maybe the problem with the one I gave up was that I really loved the premise (and still do) but elements of it were too much like the novel I'm curently querying, and besides that it didn't...

• Happy Things

  Things I am happy for today: The new B52's cd. Eeeeee!!!! I heart the B52's. They are made of awesome. The book I'm reading, Deadline , which so far is amazing. Making up both my test in psychology and the toddler observation in Child Development...

• My Life? Um, No.

  Haven't wrote in here in a while I guess. I don't know how long, probably just a day, but it feels like a while. In other news, I feel the need to write a short story. A flickr inpsired short story, only I can't decide which of my favorite...

• still haven't sent those query letters...

  Hello! Spring break is here! Woot woot! In other news, I'm at the marvelous word count of 10,570 for my novel in progress. And yes, I still need to send out the query letters for my last novel. The sad thing about this is that I HAVE THEM ready to... Posted Mar 13 2008, 02:40 PM by jordynt with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: lists, Red, noveling, writing

• this post comes in two parts and explains my two week hiatus

  Ok so I was totally going to make a post from the library at lunch today. But seeing as how it was practically pouring outside EVERY SINGLE COMPUTER was in use. So I went to eat lunch in my car and by the time I got to my car my jacket was soaked and...

• on stories and also, if you watch the clip, THE CONE OF SILENCE

  Hilo. (Um, is that a real word? Probably nots. Oh well.) I really should be working on my query or something like that, seeing as how I've officially decided to stop working on the novel I was going to be working on. I just decided... not now. It's...

• on being a liar... uh, er... I mean, making stuff up

  Yes, I wrote a novel about a girl who hates where she lives. And yes, sometimes I'm not exactly on great terms with where I live either. But this is the problem with writing fiction... EVERYONE THINKS I'M WRITING ABOUT MY OWN LIFE!!! And I'm... Posted Dec 11 2007, 04:24 PM by jordynt with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Mich, Dearest Mother, quotes, my novel, noveling, songs

• on blurbs, pitches, and what needs to be done

  Hi. Today I'm looking at those blurbs on the backs (or inside flaps) of books. Trying to write a pitch thing for my novel, but first I have to figure out how to go about this business of writing what. Like, what are they supposed to sound like? What...

• chapter seven

  Okay, so I'm looking for a good part of my novel to share here... okay, chapter seven. (My chapters are kinda short, as far as chapters go.) Oh, and the story is about a girl who lives in this small Texas town and desperately wants to get out, especially...

• officially happy dancing

  I. Finished. My. Novel. And now I have to start my next one. Which means finding another good topic, another main character, another imaginary world just the same as our real world. It's going to be hard to top Kris and Johnson though, hard to top... Posted Dec 03 2007, 10:59 PM by jordynt with | with 3 comment(s) Filed under: noveling

• a short one, mostly about confessions

  I have a confession. I can't help it: I love The Hills . I realize this is sad and pathetic, but it's also true. There's something about watching people whose lives have even more drama than my own that's kind of reassuring. It's like...

• songs that remind me (maybe i'll post more later?)

  Wow. Okay, first off, bravo to Haley for attempting to write a novel of approximately 100k words. (Correct me if I'm wrong on that, Haley.) Because my goal is 50k, which I guess is okay since it's YA. It better be okay. But anyways, I was up until...
