Book editing

This may be depressing to some beginning writers, but it needs to be heard. When you think that you're almost ready to be published, read your book. Just sit down and take a day (or more, depending on the length) to read it. And you will see that a lot of what you thought was up to standard is actually HORRIBLE!!!!!! I have started reading my book and some of it was literally painful to read.

The worst scene was close to the end. It was a phone conversation between one of my characters and her mother. When I had written it, I know I was rushed. It was getting close to the point when the English project was due, and I wasn't done yet. (Just so you know, my book started out as an English project. Then it got out of hand and I just decided to go farther with it and write a whole book.) So, I hurriedly finished the last three chapters. Or, what was a rough draft of them, any way. Not a good idea, though. Those hold the two major fight scenes. So, yesterday I started rereading. And I found the worst part of my book. So, I just deleted the whole, cursed conversation and rewrote. But, I still have a lot to fix! It's literally painful! AAHH!! Sorry, everyone, but it's true! Sniff.

Ah, well.
Cheerio, peeps!

The Voldemort Bunch

This is so FUNNY!!!!!!! I can't believe how STUPID it is!!!!!!! And I never realized till now that the person who played Barty Crouch, Jr. in Harry Potter 4 is the same actor who plays The Doctor in Doctor Who. He is David Tennant. His is TOTALLY THE BEST DOCTOR EVER!!!!!!! He is regeneration 10. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, see the show, or look it up. Cuz the show is so FREEKIN' AWESOME!!!!!! Sorry. I love Doctor Who. Any way, here's the video.

Cheerio, peeps!

My Beautiful Rescue by This Providence

This song works PERFECTLY for Edward and Bella. Especially one line, for Edward, "I'm falling more in love with every single word I with hold." LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! Sorry you can't see anything, but oh well. At least you can hear it. AH! I'm so jealous I would do anything to see them perform!!!!!! Them and Muse. Oh, well. Maybe some day. Oh, and Ok Go.

Cheerio, peeps!!!!!

New Moon commercial

Okay. The New Moon commercial. My friend has made me watch it way too many times. And then last night I went to a movie and saw it AGAIN. So, I have some comments to make on it.
First of all, the way it starts is a little confusing. What's with all the truck and dark outside the house, and such? What time is it? Now, about the party. I love Alice. But, the fight is so messed up. They didn't have Jasper come at Bella. Did he even go after her? It seemed like he went at Edward. And Edward would NEVER, EVER hurt his piano!!!!!!!! So, why does he throw Japer against the piano? He could as easily throw him against a wall, or something. But, no, he needs to break the piano. The forest scene is pretty good. I like it. What the HECK is up with Laurent's EYES!!!! They are huge and practically bugging out of his head!!!!!! They did much better with the eyes in the first movie. OH! I just realized, they never tell you what happens to Laurent in the first movie! Stupid gits. Okay, now the wolf. I think the way they do the wolf transformation is absolutely wonderful! I am not on Team Jacob, but I think the wolves might be the best characters of this movie! My only problem with the wolves is that I wish they were a little bigger. But you can't have everything, can you? Ah, well. The wolves rock in the movie, for sure!
Cheerio, peeps!
