RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - Temporal - Aug. 15, 2012
That's...life. Sorry, but people are going to say you suck for no real reason. Sometimes grudges play a factor, jealousy, racism (See comments on Rue being black for the Hunger Games...), all that stuff comes into play. The best writers can ignore it with no issues. Losing the "will to write" means that you're afraid to hear more, methinks. (And can't you just block those members?) You likely still want to write, you just don't want to be unfairly judged. At least, that's what I think. Take my opinion with a grain of salt, though.

Now you're the one not making sense ...
Ugh! Okay.
People one a site (not telling which) kept making fun of me and I've lost the will to write!
I know that feel

You guys shouldn't be taking their comments seriously. I've been called "maniacal, atrocious, foolish, insane and notorious" for sticking up for Beywheelz. Did I abandon my forum? Nope. Like I say; dem haterz gon' hate.

I'll just ignore 'em and move on...
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - Ga' - Aug. 15, 2012
Exactly. Just move on.
Think about it, critics put down many potential authors with a complete beatdown in every aspect of literature. That doesn't stop the writer from writing though.
As for my entry, I'll start now. I have a vague idea of what to write, I hope it's good enough.

That late? XD
A reminder, PM the entries to me no longer than midnight tonight! PM them to Temporal as well. Saves me the hassle of forwarding.

In some cases, it does. Mainly when the media attacks every aspect of that book and the novelist's lifestyle.

Too bad it wasn't the same with the Twilight series

I will, all at the same time
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - NoodooSoup - Aug. 15, 2012
I have yet to start. Weeeeell, it's a good thing I stay up late! I get my best ideas at the break of night.
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - sarabscientist - Aug. 15, 2012
Kudos for late night masterpeices!
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - Temporal - Aug. 15, 2012
More like kudos to anyone who can finish a late-night masterpiece, hah.

Like I said, many. Not all writers, but many.
I started my first round entry at 11 PM, finished at 11:58 PM with a 20 minute break, and sent it in at 11:59:47 PM (I wear a watch at all times except for showers, so I always know what time it is). Yeah, I'm that guy.
EDIT: Whoops, I derped again and it's already almost 9 PM EST. I only have 2 lines.
Procrastination goooo
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - Cookie Bouquets - Aug. 16, 2012
I had a story, but I just hated the feel of it being based off of the slenderman so I was like, Screw it, I'm writing about children playing with spinning tops.
EDIT: Sent mine in.
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - Ga' - Aug. 16, 2012
And I pull off another last-minute entry!...Again!

Damn, me too. Haha, sent right at 11:59. Yikes. It was a race against the clock that I hopefully conquered in.

11:59:47 for the first, 11:59:53 for the second. Hell yes.
Just check your PM in the Sent folder, if it still says 11:59 you're good.
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - NoodooSoup - Aug. 16, 2012
Yep, I checked. 11:59, huzzah! I'm going to proceed with patting myself on the back for this accomplishment.
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - sarabscientist - Aug. 16, 2012
Hm, thanks for the entries. Haven't read them yet, I'm going to sleep now.
I didn't recieve Zancrow's entry ...
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - Temporal - Aug. 16, 2012
Procrastination saved you, hah. It serves you all well, apparently.
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - NoodooSoup - Aug. 16, 2012
Do you guys think this will extend to Sunday? Sunday's the day I'm leaving for a probably internet-less vacation.
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - sarabscientist - Aug. 16, 2012
Probably not. I have my picks, just need to confirm with Temp. Final subject should be released by midnight. Uhh, and then the regular 24 hour deadline. So yeah, it shouldn't!
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - NoodooSoup - Aug. 16, 2012
Oh, okay, I just thought there might be two more rounds or so, rather than one. Cool.
RE: Writing Tournament [PenPad!] Second Round in Progress - Ga' - Aug. 16, 2012
Good to hear.
Hopefully the picks for the next round will be announced soon, so I can start procrastinating again with my AP US History and AP Bio assignments.
