I'm kind of all over the place sometimes :]<br /><br />I'll try to get that award post up right away!

And actually a lot of the writing terminology I used were acronyms I created for myself, so don't trust it too much ;] I envy that you have so many books to read, and such motivation to read and review all of them though. I can barely get through one book a week now, and sometimes I don't even read a book until like two or three weeks later. And ARCs! Very jealous.<br /><br />But good luck to you as well! And I really hope you enjoy The Stat of Love (which my sister and I had dubbed). It was pretty great :]Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191166122464475192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397312059783812878.post-65499657544326084192012-03-10T15:54:25.835-05:002012-03-10T15:54:25.835-05:00I know o.o It definitely had a strong Twilight fee...I know o.o It definitely had a strong Twilight feel to it, and I still haven't read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo >.> It's very sad.<br /><br />Whenever I say "I'm going to do this" I usually don't end up doing it. But even when I <i>don't</i> say it, I still don't do it. So I guess it's better to say it than to not say it? Either way, I hope you do way better than me :]Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191166122464475192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397312059783812878.post-16965207581950758022012-03-10T15:51:48.563-05:002012-03-10T15:51:48.563-05:00A Mary Sue test?

I must take it for my protagonists o.o I'm impressed you were able to make that decision; I know a lot of people who became too attached to their WIPs and weren't able to make necessary changes. But I'm glad to hear about your latest novel ^-^Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191166122464475192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397312059783812878.post-30394420963462384192012-03-08T17:22:58.037-05:002012-03-08T17:22:58.037-05:00Wow, it's definitely always good to have goals...Wow, it's definitely always good to have goals, I'm impressed; mine are always way more vague. But real life does tend to get in the way doesn't it!<br />Btw, I posted a blog award for you on my blog :) xSophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925226331243741566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397312059783812878.post-89130431107582451762012-03-08T02:13:34.431-05:002012-03-08T02:13:34.431-05:00Wow Ella!

I wish I had something even a half bit intelligent to say, but I've got nothing. :) You're really talented, so I'm sure you'll make it through the timeline just fine! Basically, all of this writing terminology is new to me, so I'm really learning something. lol. But I do understand the timeline/goal pressure. I just sat down tonight and wrote out my March Reading Timeline/Schedule. I've got quite a few ARCs and review books to read and write reviews for, so I can send them back to the publishing houses & authors... and well I'm basically running out of time. It's all fun and good times till I put myself on a set deadline, I'm awful. Anyway, good luck!!! BTW, I went to read your TSPOLAFS review, but you said there were spoilers, so I'll definitely check it out once I read the book!The Reading Enchantresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680286498241640276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397312059783812878.post-42906877010146366332012-03-06T18:24:54.119-05:002012-03-06T18:24:54.119-05:00I love TV tropes!

And Lisbeth Salander is basically the anti-Sue...<br /><br />I hope you complete your goals! Sometimes I find that setting definite goals actually makes it harder for me to finish them. It's a kind of backwards logic, but once I say "I'm going to do this" then I get nervous or bored and don't end up doing it on time, just because. Sigh. I need to work on that.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725049899131699912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397312059783812878.post-83825189382851514142012-03-05T23:19:03.539-05:002012-03-05T23:19:03.539-05:00I remember doing a Mary Sue test on one of my prot...I remember doing a Mary Sue test on one of my protagonists. She was a total Mary Sue, and though I loved her, I knew she was annoying so I cut the novel short.<br />On the other hand, my latest novel is the anti-Mary Sue. And I love her even more. I think it depends on the story, however, for the Mary Sue test.<br />And good luck!tudor3x8https://www.blogger.com/profile/17924528170240753743noreply@blogger.com
