AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

June is creeping up on me. Tilly & Jo is right around the corner, the summer weather is here, and. and. It shall be simply fabulous.

The site picture isn't done yet. :< Hopefully it will be soon, and look good on the layout and as a poster.
As for the writing, I've written chapter 9 and 10, plus like 3 pages of excerpts. I'm HOPING that people are going to like it. The location changes, I'm introducing four new characters (Gina's family). I really want it to be believable and interesting, where they came from and what they do, and for their background to be properly explored. I'm pleased to reveal that they do NOT have a dramatic past. Nobody's father or uncle beat them...

I'm most excited about Gina getting to know Jo. But that's just me.



I wonder if this is even a sell-able idea for a publisher. How would I summarize it well enough? Would anyone like it enough to give it a shot under their name? *shrug*

I have so few original stories, and I mean really original ones, minus any kind of influence (not He's There, because it involves Phantom). When it comes to ideas all by me, myself, and I, I don't know if I have what it takes.

"...I don't know if I have what it takes."

Say that again, and I'll come all the way to Oregeon, and slap you across the face. >: DON'T make me come over there! WHAT DO YOU MEAN "not good enough"?! Your stories are fabulous and creative! ANY publisher must be on drugs, if they were to oughta reject your work, especially your work.

Don't be so humble..you know you're going to be successful one day, and that's that.

I'm especially excited to start reading Tilly & Jo this summer. :3 If I can ever get a chance to go back to my busy-body ways, and get many of my things out of my way before summer officially hits us in June, Tilly & Jo will be one of the things I'll be spending most of my time on. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us readers. :D

I can't stress enough that I appreciate your comments and the fact that you believe in me. I think it seems like every time I say something that considers my situation objectively, I get scolded for thinking I'm any less than perfect, though. The last couple paragraphs really weren't about pessimism... I was being reasonably skeptical. I don't know that I'm going to be "successful" some day. And, your rooting is filled with bias, so if I don't already believe what you're saying, it just makes me react thinking "wow, calm down" and disagreeing with everything.

So, maybe if I explained exactly how I feel about everything, we'd be on the same page, and I wouldn't have to feel like a jerk getting a nice comment from you and then disagreeing. >o< I'll write up an entry for it soon.

Aside from that, I'm glad you'll be one of the readers. I'll have more of a reason to have a chapter done once a week. Besides reading it, I don't know what you meant by "spending most of my time on" though. XD; It's not very long. XD
