I'm the same as I am here. :))

And guys, anyone who says they don't have time is a chump. If I can juggle college, choir, running a newspaper, sleeping, church, family and a boyfriend while writing a novel, so can you.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. :yahoo:

If I ever finish, whatever I write is going to be available on LuLu.

(Not that anyone would be interested in reading it, but it would be nice to have a copy floating out there.)

You'd be surprised what people are willing to read.

I've won twice on nano. This year I'll be juggling grad school, presenting at a state conference in my field, job hunting, working 40+ hours a week of retail during the Christmas season, moving downstairs, etc. plus nano.

My two ideas right now:

[quote]Synopsis: Unititled

The world is in chaos following The Event and the Soviet-Sino War. Massive crop failures, the destruction of almost all of the world's oil supplies, the return of creatures of lore and worst of all the devastating Plague.

Yet in the midst of this crucible, humanity is about to have visitors searching for what most of Earth's population considers a fairy tale. They have come searching for a Messiah predicted in their holy texts, a man named Jesus Christ.[/quote]

And fanfic for the other idea:

[quote]Nocturne: A Terminator/Babylon 5/SG-1 crossover.

Skynet has succeeded in eliminating John Connor and Sarah Connor in the past. Judgment Day succeeds and humanity is soon wiped from the Earth. Skynet expands to the stars, and begins to mine the solar system in preparation for war with aliens that have a high probabilitiy of existence.

Over one hundred years after Judgment Day the Centauri make first contact. Their ship is quickly captured and analyzed, the technology improved upon. Skynet is ready to expand across the galaxy, except for one small problem...the Sol system has no quantium 40, Skynet only has enough for one ship.

It will have to wait for the Centauri to invade in force, and defeat them in Sol itself before it can have enough Quantium 40 for a fleet. Meanwhile, an Asgard ship has arrived in this dimension due to a freak accident during a quantum experiment...[/quote]

I'm supposed to be going over it right now before they print the second edition. Just to see if I want to change anything, although I'm not allowed to change content, but I can make small changes in grammar, and fix a couple of typos that weren't caught before the first printing. The last time I asked, sales were around 4700.
