Why It Took So Ridiculously Long...(LMN)


All right, I'm a poop.

I can't believe it took me this long to update. I was in a huge funk and I couldn't even open my LMN document (which I just realized all of you would seriously love to read since it has many (oh-so many) future chapters. Seriously, it's a gold mine.
But yeah, and I just kept starting new story after new story and stopping after one chapter. I'm a mess right now to put it simply. Life is hectic, both good and bad. I'm trying to balance it all out and not have it affect my writing time, but it's not as easy as it seems. I'm working on it though. Soon, it'll all be good.
But I've updated LMN and I have one or two chapters (not sure if I'm just going to add them together as one big update) so that's tremendously good. And I've just come to another revelation that I'm basically covered on the rest of the chapters of LMN until the sequel. YES!
Sorry, it's four in the morning and my eyes are, I'm sure, bloodshot. Beautiful image, right? Well, none of you know what I look like so it's whatevs.
I have just one small scene to add and then it's just some serious editing for LMN before it's officially complete on my end. Then, I'm phsyched to start the sequel beginning since I've replayed it in my head more than a dozen times. That's gonna be one long story, let me just say. And so fabulous!
Still contemplating the title, so if you have any ideas, pitch 'em! I love your input since I post for you. I really am so grateful for all the support and messages (which I'm horrible at replying to, I know) and that you take time out to make me banners. I can't tell you how touching it is! And I know I don't show it very well by torturing you with sporadic, rare updates. :P
I suck, I get that. I haven't even begun to face MTMTE so let the rage begin after you were probably going to let me slide. I have the whole story played out in my head, it's just so darn difficult to use telepathy so you all can see it. If only my computer could read my brain...
Thank you, thank you for the encouragement and wonderful words! It really did help me push myself to write. You're all amazing. I <3 you. (Oddly, whenever I write that or see it, I always say it aloud as 'I heart you.' So roll with it.) I <3 you!

New story! WYLB, LMN still going!


Hezzo, my friends!


I have begun a new Joe story, which I really hope you like because I'm in love with it! It all started when I had this two minute dream. Me and my two chicas were at a 7-eleven and I drove this 90's esque truck when I noticed JB by themselves. We purposely walked near them, hoping to catch their attention.

From there, I created this amazing plot for just that one scene! It's insane, I know. That's just how I

roll, if you can get that. I thought I'd share so you can grasp how easy it is for me to get distracted with a new story. But have no fear! LMN is far, far, far, far (you get the drift) from over. A sequel is in the works after this ends, which will be quite a few more chapters. (Heavy on the quite.)

WYLB is coming to a close however. I've had the ending of it in my head for months now and I seriously can't wait for you to read it! I'll be updating this week, just not sure for which one. Am I totally infuriating you with my many surprises? My bad, but you know you like the suspense, even if you hate it at the same time.

Tell me what you think on all aspects of any of my stories. I adore your thoughts, comments, etc! It means so much to me and I can't thank you all enough! (Thank you, thank you, thank you...)

I'm alive! Sorry for the absence...

All right, so first off: I apologize PROFUSELY for the lack of updates.


Family came into town and when that happens, say goodbye free time. I've tried writing at night, but I'm too exhausted and once frickin' again, in a writer's block.

Mine are different though. I have all the scenes in my head, I just can't write them out properly. It all is positively dreadful if I try. Hopefully, it'll go away quickly and I'll make a massive update for all my stories!

I've had messages encouraging me to write more for the Kevin One-shot, so if you want it, then I'll post it soon. (Gotta write it first. Drat!) Thank you for the support on that one too!

I'm not giving up on LMN or WYLB in the near or far future. The sequel to LMN is happening considering the masses of messages I get (THANKS A ZILLION!) anticipating that release. I have everything complete in my head (including the original ending I've had for months now), the trouble and time consuming matter is writing it all. Why does the voice-activated software for Microsoft have to be so dang expensive?

So, just thought I'd clarify I'm still under the radar and pushing myself to write, write, write...and write some more. And then write after that.

Thank you for sticking with me! I understand your frustration when it comes to waiting for updates (cough, Jess and Rita, cough) and I'm SO SO sorry for that! I'm doing the thing I absolutely hate when it comes to reading fanfic. My bad!

Hold on just a little bit longer (Oh, pone) and it'll be SO worth it. I'm talking Princess Diana's wedding veil train long....for chapters that is. Or is it? o_0

WYLB Update! LMN Sequel?

Hey people!

New WYLB chapter, which is one of the very few I have left till I can switch modes and write more. (I have tons of chapters in my head though...anyone got telepathic powers?)

But I've learned that once I'm on a certain high for writing new chapters on one of my stories (I do plan on posting more, new stories), I should ride it out.

Speaking of which, what is everyone's take on a LMN sequel?

I have chapters written in the far future that are so good in my opinion. (Oh, and 'so good' is my highest praise for writing. Oddly, it's the only phrase that comes out of my mouth when I'm so happy with an outcome. Weird, I know.)

Also, I originally planned on ending LMN after New Years (in the story). But I'm writing stuff for later in 2008 because LMN is still in 2007! I really need to speed it up, don't I?

I'd love your input on what you would like because I post just for you guys!

Thank you so so so much for staying loyal and enjoying my work. It's truly an honor!

LMN UPDATED!! Raise Your Hands Up In the Air!


Hello my awesome fans!

It's true - LMN has finally been updated. A lot of you have messaged me to please update and that time has arrived!! I'm so sorry for the delay. Life's been very very busy.

The last few days, which were meant to be writing new stuff for LMN, has been devoted to talking to my new boyfriend. I know, boys consume so much time, don't they?
Blame him and all his cuteness!

But I'm planning on posting part two either Thursday or Friday. It's a miracle, right?!
I haven't forgotten about my stories or all of you amazing people who enjoy my work so much.
You're support is incredible and insanely motivating!
Keep your eyes peeled!!

International Jonas Day! New LMN Update!!

What is up my peeps!

I'm in a very hyper mood right now and tre excited about the new chapter of LMN out! I've had these ones backlogged since last year, which is incredibly Crazy. I would have never thought I'd still be updating this series in May!

Thank you all for enjoying it and pushing me to continue!

Speaking of encouragement...it's International Jonas Day!
(On my lucky number too! I get to feel kinda special...)

But the Jonas Brothers have their own holiday?? That's insane! We, the fans, created this happy treat for the boys. Hooray for us!

I wonder how odd it is to have your own holiday? Oh well, congrats to JB! They deserve it for everything they do for their career, the fans, their family, etc. Good to know it's being celebrated.

LMN has resurfaced!! Hints of future plots in this post.

Yep. It's true.

I posted a new chapter one minute to midnight. My stupid computer, Steve, decided that at ten o'clock, he would simply cut the internet connection....

Just as I finished editing and proofreading the longest chapter of LMN SO FAR!!!!

I was one impulse away from throwing his crappy butt (unintended pun right there) out the window.

Anyway...it's up and awesome and going to get very interesting now. The first day (which took eighteen chapters to write!) is over and now we get to see the trials of a teenage marriage and all its obstacles.

And trust me, there will be hoops and fire for them to jump through. Action will be back. So for all of you done reading about the gooey romance (sorry, there still will be some), you're getting your wish.

Because you know what? I missed writing about action. It was fun and odd that I knew so much about weaponry and the like. It's as random as my fervent knowledge of vintage wines and champagnes (1962 Merlot is exquisite).

Yet...I've never had alcohol before.

I just enjoy studying about vineyards and especially French champagne. I'd like to be an aficionado without purposely or intentionally getting wasted. Why people get drunk is beyond me. It frys your braincells. And I actually enjoy being smart and educated.

Back to LMN...I'm thrilled for everyone to read what's coming up. I love your feedback: What you liked, didn't like, want to see more of, what you think will happen next.

Everything.

Don't be afraid to message me. I love responding back. And thank you SO much for all of your raves and support. I'm always smiling after reading the Cbox and my messages. I dedicate this new chapter to everyone. You all rock.

XOXO

'WYLB' Updated, LMN Soon to Follow-Messages Have Returned!!!

'What You Left Behind,' or 'my baby' (get it?) has been updated with a SEVENTH chapter! I'm on the very advanced, future chapters so it's weird going back and forth.

You guys will seriously love what's coming. I heart this story so much. And the funny thing is, the idea just spontaneously popped into my head while I was reading about human evolution (a pleasure reader, if you can believe me). I hope you're enjoying it thus far!

My message box is stocked full again of old comments and such. Feel free to message me more! I'm greedy when it comes to them.

Go. Read. Rate. Comment.

New LMN is in the works, don't worry. Look for it in just a matter of day(s)! That and FMN are my true babies, though whenever I get around to it - I will be reediting FMN because the writing SUCKS. It'll still be there, just monumentally better in grammar and plot (though it will keep the general scenarios).

It's more of adding more detail and rewording a few things. It's not necessary in my opinion to have a 'she said' 'he said' at the end of every sentence. (And NO, I'm not quoting Ashley Tisdale. It just happened to roll that way. No copyright meant...blah).

Peace!

(Well, on my computer it said so...) I posted at 7:05!!! And I'm listening to the song!

I am so Jonas-fied!

LMN Updated AGAIN, Message Box Inoperable!

Whose message box ISN'T working at the moment?! Quizilla...step it up!

Anyway, send me messages even though I might not get them for a few days or reply in the same timely fashion. A huge amount waiting for me sounds lovely!

LMN has another chapter up...GO read it! Super long, probably the longest of both stories. I love input, raves, ratings and banners!

PEACE

LMN finally UPDATED!

Yes, it is true. The lovely little sequel of FMN has at last been updated with a new, love-dripping chapter! I'm with all of you on the happy wagon. I can't tell you how sucky it was not being able to write! But that's over and I'm tossing out new chapter to all my equally awesome stories, like 'What You Left Behind' (which I have yet to abbreviate miraculously!). Enjoy and make sure to comment and all that supportive stuff which I love so much! Banners are amazing too!

Dodging

Welcome! Enjoy your stay.

I'm avoiding my two Microsoft documents open at the bottom of my laptop's screen with beginning this lovely little virtual peek into the sad, pathetic world of me, CrazyGirl724.

Dubbed that by the fact I am 'Crazy' over many things and the main one right now and has been for several months--a record for me--being the Jonas Brothers. Then, I am in fact a girl, which I thought I'd add for a nice touch. Lastly, seven and twenty four are my two favorite numbers.

Why have to choose one?

It's similar to a historic and impossible moment where you are being asked to pick just one Jonas Brother to do what you wish with. *Let's keep it clean thoughts, people. They are pledged Christians.*

Two simply is much better than one.

Two is the number of people it takes to fall madly in love with each other; unless you're in a love triangle where you love both and can't decide.

But then that's just a little ridiculous if you've allowed yourself to be involved in such a mess.

I mean, come on, it takes two to tango and all that smooth jazz, contemporary rock, alternative yada yada yada...I think you're with me on my meaning.

If you are--bravo and share the brilliance of actually understanding me and my weird complexity of words.

If you can't--no, don't feel bad. I'm not even sure where I'm going with this. Props for just trying.

One person you can thank for the start of my cyberspace 'journal' as Quizilla calls it, would be the one and hilariously random, sweet, and charming Greg Garbowsky.

Yes, the bass player of the Jonas Brothers. And NO, I don't know him. But I do read his blog, which is supremely hysterical.

Where does he come up with the things he writes?
I wish I knew.

His life seems fantastic, whereas mine consists of school, writing, caffeine, and little sleep.

Wow, where does that sound familiar...?

No, really. It reminds me of someone of text, probably never met, maybe not even real, but out there in the universe. Whether created by TWO people or on paper, is to be determined.

Let's see...I completely went off topic by about...three times? I could have gone further; how dysfunctional.

Ok, back on target: the two document tabs.

I have many, many plots, scenes, ideas, characters, dreams, smarts, pulsing cerebrospinal fluid, etc, all in my head at the moment, plus a craving for pie.

Currently, I'm working on a new Joe Jonas story that I could easily twist into a real novel. Just change a few names and place setting and I'd be good to go.

Except...it is utterly too appealing to think of Joe being the boy. Wouldn't you agree even though you haven't a clue as to what I'm talking about, story-wise?

Anyway, the lead character (who's a girl) has the talent of baking and pies are her specialty.

My mouth is watering at the memory of typing about how delicious her chocolate strawberry--always a superb mix--ones are. Are any of you with me on that drooling image and taste bud extravaganza?

Well, the story is the best yet that I have written. It's pretty sweet. I've got it all orderly and set in book form. Nothing has ever looked more beautiful (in writing sense, of course).

Then, I have my other document that holds all the margin ideas and story information in it...and the current residence of 'Living My Neverland.'

Among a few (ok, more than a few), JB stories. In my head though, still just a plot, is my Kevin One-shot that I will one day write and publish on here for my first reviewer, double.entendres.

Her favorite is Kevin and she casually (yet not) brought up the question (more like demand) of a Kevin J story. I'm kidding. She's the best.

I haven't been inspired by him as of presently or in the past, therefore, I never thought of it. Then, suddenly one climatic scene of a possible storyline came to me.

Very intense and emotional.

The date has not been set yet, nor has the production started on it. Sorry if I got you pumped.

Sometimes being a perfectionist (definitely) has its ups and downs. For example, proofreading.

Every time I upload a new chapter on here, it takes me over an hour to finish it. I'm always adding new sentences and editing the others.

I hate when stories are written hastily and then published with grammatical errors thrown left and right. So many stories that I've read have great plots, but the writing is horrific. Does it really hurt to go back and check?

The product in the end is worth the annoyance of proofreading. Wouldn't you rather have people raving about both your brilliant ideas and writing skills?

I can't tell you how many times my hand has itched to click the 'message' button and allow my fingers to delve into the pros and cons of that author’s masterpiece and their weaknesses, insecurities.

Luckily for them (and my reputation), I'm not quite that mean. Call it a reprieve for my ghastly manners as a child and when my head finally deflated enough to see what a brat I was which inexplicably turned me humble. Thank you for consciences' and simple idealisms of life, right?

See what I mean about dodging?

I want to write and release the scenes in my expansive head, but sometimes I just ignore it and regret it later. I only have a limited time to write before I have to pass out on my bed and wake in a few hours for school.

Yes, I'm a night owl.

I actually formulated a theory that my REM cycle is reversed and I'm nocturnal. My imagination comes to life (literally) once the sun goes down.

It's the main focus of my writing, where I just jump into it and resurface with another Jonas Brothers story.

Like I said, pathetic.

Sleep is forgotten, thirst, hunger, yearning for fresh air. All of it hides when the moon comes out and darkness prevails. How dramatic, but true.

I love adventure, implausible events and sequences, love, romance, drama, comedy...you get the point. I am the definition of a hopeless romantic.

If you've read 'Finding My Neverland' and the sequel (which I adore abbreviating to 'LMN'), than you should know. If you have read them and still just realized by me telling you...than you obviously cheated. How could you not grasp that?

My stories are so mushy, especially the sequel, that I'm actually afraid to publish them in fear of being too much of a poor sap. Maybe I need to rethink the plot and add more action, if I haven't already. Mystery is quite fun to play around with as well.

OK, I've written enough in this 'journal' entry, I think. Good for you if you're still reading.

I had a sudden inkling to be like Garbo (who rocks) so I apologize for my atrocious attempt. I could never out stage the marvelous 'Grog Blog.'

Here's the non-clickable link (how do you manage that?): http://greggarbo.blogspot.com/

Got to give the cutie props for being awesome.

Oh, quick (maybe) funny concert story about the bassist.

I just recently went to one of JB's 'WYLMITE's' tour stops aka a show.

An appalling emo, (I think, I'm socially amnesiac on teen slang) screamo band was the opening act. The usual punk clothing: converse (nothing against those), knee high socks (for the lead singer), plaid skirt, tie over tee (again, pink haired chick lead vocalist), ripped jeans and bad hair. I couldn't believe they were actually on the same stage that the Jobros were going to be on shortly.

Then, an arena employee came on stage, after the 'band' was done, and began to set up a discolored banner. The entire crowd was confused.

At last, it was raised and it was....Rooney's trademark sign! Everyone went crazy. They weren't supposed to be performing. The venue wasn't one of theirs.

I still believe that something happened with the Jonas Brothers and they asked Rooney to play a few songs to postpone THEIR arrival. It was the first thing that I felt after the excitement of Rooney soon coming on dissipated.

We'll never know, I guess.

Skip to a minute before the main performers appeared...

We, the fans, were all waiting (not patiently; chants of JONAS, JONAS were echoing through the arena,), when suddenly, a very familiar, tall, skinny guy walked on from the side I happened to be stationed at. (It's what the ticket directed me to, at least.)

Even the people who were probably using binoculars to see (and that's how they most likely noticed...duh!) started screaming. Gregory Garbowsky had just arrived, clapping his hands together, looking very pumped.

"GARBO!" someone abruptly shouted in hysteria. The twelve year old girl next to me jumped in fear and shock. It wasn't until then that the information registered in my brain that I was the one who had screamed.

My stomach was tightening with excitement and it must have affected my speech, because I didn't realize my vocal proclamation until I had already yelled it.

One of the most surreal and odd moments of my life.

Then, Garbo (don't you love how I talk about him as if we're friends. Pssh! I wish. I'd take acquaintances even. Not just because he's like THIS close with the Jonas Brothers, but he actually seems like a genuinely nice person. His blogs are too funny. He's real, that's what. A rare feat.).

As I was saying, Garbo then did the rock 'n' roll sign to my side of the arena. I quickly reciprocated, feeling the energy from him.

All in all, incredible night, freezing for where I live, but worth it. I signed the tour bus, which was fun.

I got overpriced memorabilia and heard ringing in my ears from the too many decibels of screaming girls around me.

All right, the end.

You've had enough of me and my embarrassing fan moments, not to mention, whacky generalizations of unsystematic topics for one night--at least it's night for me--late in the evening...or mid-morning I should say.
Off to face the writing or give in to an early night, not sure yet.

Take care, don't drink and drive and all that safety precaution wonderfulness (it saves your life, believe it or not!).

Till next time, if there is one, Crazy

P.S. The font and sizes might be off. Quizilla or Steve, which is my computer's name, is being demented. Most probably Steve. He does it on a regular basis. I apologize.

P.P.S. Was anything that I just wrote worthy of an 'Adult' rating? No? That's what I thought, but Quizilla begs to differ. Strange...
