If I new how to make cool looking YouTube videos, I'd totally make a trailer for this book with that song.<br /><br />Hehe, you can never have too much food in a book . . . ;)The Magic Violinisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889060820055920735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739533234250181729.post-33956318806125610832016-01-23T15:57:41.959-05:002016-01-23T15:57:41.959-05:00This sounds great.

I love songs like that. And I like how you wrap it up with an ice cream metaphor. I'm also curious how much cooking is a part of this story, since you've mentioned the cooking abilities of a couple of your characters. :PBoquinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02365252326911270689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739533234250181729.post-41783756725716409592016-01-04T15:03:57.903-05:002016-01-04T15:03:57.903-05:00@Taylor Congrats on both times! NaNo is no small f...@Taylor Congrats on both times! NaNo is no small feat. I'm loving this novel so far. :) New projects always excite me. That "I have no clue what's going to happen, but I have so many ideas and I can't wait to see how they turn out" feeling is what motivates me each day, and the start of a book is a great way to find that feeling!<br /><br />Thank you! I love my characters (well, I <i>always</i> love my characters). Ha, I could've guessed that for you. :) Toni is super sweet.<br /><br />Merry belated Christmas! <3<br /><br />@Carly Thank you! I'm sure you'll get lots of snippets in my wrap-up posts as I continue with it. :) I might even use the characters for the Beautiful People prompt, depending on the theme of it.<br /><br />Ooh, if our taste in music matches up that much, you should <i>definitely</i> check all of those out! I've been obsessed with them. I'm a huge fan of indie rock. Hehe, I haven't used it as often as I should. I need a little variety with my settings. xD<br /><br />@Cait I'm glad you like it! I have spent way too much time plotting this out and not enough writing it, honestly, but that's changing now. xD Oh I can relate. I must've spent an hour looking through pictures of Colorado! Eeeeeee, that's the best compliment you could've given me!! Writers always say your books are your babies, and while that's definitely true, I'm just sitting over here hugging all of my characters because <i>they're</i> my babies. Even if I destroy them. But only because I love them so much. ;P THANK YOU!!<br /><br />Oh gosh, edits are rough . . . *gives you all the chocolate and tea and a snuggly puppy for the pain* But hey, once you finish them, you can celebrate with a new draft, yes? I love drafting so much more than I love revisions. Could one of these books maybe possibly be <i>The Dead Boy and the Paper Cut</i>?? BECAUSE I NEED MORE THOMAS AND MOXIE AND LUCA AND KHALIDA. *coughs* Please.The Magic Violinisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889060820055920735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739533234250181729.post-29000232247239157322016-01-02T16:28:05.287-05:002016-01-02T16:28:05.287-05:00Oh wow this sounds AMAZING and I love all the deta...Oh wow this sounds AMAZING and I love all the details you have already!! SQUEE. (And I love that you just randomly decided the location. xD I DO THAT....and then I usually regret it because I spend so much time trying to research what the place looks like hehehh. Ahem.) Plus your characters sound sooo dimensional and EPIC. I LOVE THIS, KATE. Best of luck with it!! <br />I'm still working on edits. And when I finish those, more edits for a <i>different</i> book. And then finished those? MORE EDITS FOR A DIFFERENT BOOK. *cries* I want to draft, but srsly, I have so many drafts and I never <i>do</i> anything with them, so that's changing this year!

I love most of the songs you selected, but I think I might need to listen to a few soon. And I can totally get behind the "close-your-eyes-and-point" method. I should do that more often. XD It'll probably give me a reason not to procrastinate as much as I already have.

I can totally relate to being burnt-out after NaNo; I've only done NaNoWriMo twice (once in November, once for a Camp NaNo) but both times drained me and I've hardly glanced at either project since I first wrote them. Hopefully writing something new will refresh you, though! It sounds like you've got a great cast of characters lined up for <i>'Til the Last Star Dies</i>, and I'm pretty sure that were I to read it, Toni would turn out to be my favorite. She sounds like just my kind of character!<br /><br />Best of luck with this new writing project--and Merry Christmas!! <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960038755760757791noreply@blogger.com
