Yeahh, about The Effects of Alcohol... Sorry?
I'm so naughty >.< I've been ill all week, just enough to miss school but I was capable of writing some decent stuff but I just needed a break. My mind is so exhausted from school work that I really, really just needed to sleep it off, so I did. It's a bit ridiculous really, seeing as how school ends a week today for the Crimbo holidays but I don't think I could have lasted another week. I'm mentally dead.
Anyway, I should be back at school tomorrow. Unfortunately. I should also be seeing Inkheart tomorrow if I can actually figure out the time for it! Gr. Damn my local cinema for not updating their site.
I've finished the first draft of the beginning of my NaNo story but it still needs MAJOR editing because I don't think it's good enough to draw the reader straight into the story from the word: Go. Life sucks eh?

Yeahhh.
*rubs neck*
I'm trying to post on here much more often now, mainly because I need somewhere to bitch and moan. :K
So, the good news is I finished NaNoWriMo with just over 80k words. I'm so proud and I never got bored of the plot once, however, this journey through November certainly gave me a gazillion new ideas for the future, but I'm set on doing one story at a time. The bad news is, the story is far from finished and far from good enough to post up on Fiction Press. It's messy, full of errors and missing huge chunks of important scenes that I was too lazy to do at the time. As well as that, it's not even in order. I wrote the scenes I wanted to include as they popped into my head, rather than sitting down and writing the story from beginning to end. In fact, the first thing I wrote was a scene set about a week into the story. >.< I haven't finished the beginning and the ending is almost complete.
Ohh, more good news is that I actually updated The Chase and have the next chapter ready to be edited before posting up. I'm brain dead on The Effects of Alcohol however so God only knows when I'll update that next.
Anyhoo, I might consider putting an Excerpt up on here for the NaNoWriMo story once I've edited the first chapter, to get an overall opinion on it.

| I haven’t posted in a while, I guess my life has been pretty hectic recently. We’ve had the week off school (half-term) and yet, I’ve had even less spair time than when I’m at school! It’s a sign people. Either way, I haven’t updated any FF stories or my FP story and I feel kind of guilty about it. :( Even worse still, NaNoWriMo begins...TOMORROW! My readers are going to hate me. I’m struggling to update regularly now, let alone when trying to write 50k words in the cold month of November. I’m still excited for it though. The plot idea I’ve got has been festering within my mind for a long, long time and I’m bouncing to finally get it down on paper...well, graphical paper anyway. *pats screen* I have my main character names, their basic background and personalities and the basic plot all written down within my new notebook. I still have a problem with what they look like, which I hope to sort out today. I’ll probably browse thousands of pictures all over the web until one screams, “Oh, oh! Pick me! I’m so totally Ayden!” Said-name is one of the main characters. I also haven’t decided whether to write a prologue, if I do, it’ll be very short. It’ll be the only big hint towards the ending in the whole story and it’s kind of necessary, but I may just have short italic paragraphs at the end of each chapter that gives a clue. Hmm. Who knows? I’m depressed to find out that David Tennant will only be filming one more series of Doctor Who. Tennant, way before he even started Doctor Who, had always been an actor that I hated outrageously, yet loved at the same time. We have a strange relationship. I’m kind of relieved to see him go, and stop bothering me every Saturday night, but at the same time I’m deeply saddened. He was, in my opinion, the best Doctor so far (including the old ones of my mum’s generation), but it’s rumoured James Nesbitt could be his replacement, which sounds awesome. I love Nesbitt, he always has this psycho look going on which sends thrills up my spine (terror thrills) which is why I loved him in the BBC production of Jekyll and Hyde. Of course, a psychotic-looking Timelord might not be a great idea, but we’ll all adjust. | |

| Okay, first of all, sorry I haven't updated The Effects of Alcohol for a little while. I'm working on an extra long chapter - mainly because if I made it it's usual size it'd be awfully boring to read - and I'm about halfway done. I should have it posted up by tomorrow at the latest depending on how quickly my beta can read through it.
Also, the Twilight Awards are up and I'm in the run for it. Check it out if you get the chance. There is a lot of competition this time round.
Super-duper news. My mum and her boyfriend are away for the entire weekend. They left this morning at seven, so I've basically got today, tomorrow and sunday to myself on my own. OK, not strictly true, my boyfriend will be staying the entire time except when he's got to work, like now, but you get the idea. I'll be able to work on The Chase too which is great. - Mood:cheerful

| -sucks in deep breath- Stay calm. Stay calm. OH MY FUCKING WORD! Gr...
Right, so here's the frickin' problem. We Brits have to wait until Monday for Breaking Dawn because freakin' stephenie meyer and her publisher suck! NOT ONLY THAT, but I was reading a yahoo post today entilted 'What do you think will happen in Breaking Dawn?' and it was in the english one so I figured it was safe to read because the brits haven't read it yet.
And halfway down the ideas, some stupid Americans (sorry, you guys usually rock) had started saying what happened. Not a lot, just what had everyone pissed off right now with the book. I'd already found out nearly everyone hates BD which puts me off slightly but I'll still buy it come Monday when it releases here. So yeah, you stupid fucktards spoiled it for me and probably thousands of other british people. It's entirely unfair, and I'm so angry right now!! Not only that, but from the spoilers I inadvertently read, I don't even understand why everyone hated what Meyer did. I think it's a great thing but everyone like "ewww" so yeah. I'm not about to go into detail about what the spoilers said because I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL IT FOR EVERYONE. Yeah, I'm mad. Get over it. Actually, I'm fuming.
I had to get this all out, because I'm about to rip my hair out. I have no where to bitch because the only other person I know locally who reads the book - my best friend - would end up begging what I'd found out and then she'd have it ruined too. Damn it. Why are people so frickin' cruel?! -huffs- Man, I wanna kill some damn werewolves right now...or even a vampire. Jeez, anything to let out my frustration.
So, I'm going to avoid anywhere where spoilers might lurk now until Monday when I get my copy. Screw you guys man, you suck for ruining it for me. Anywho, I'll probably update The Chase anyway because as long as I don't read any updates or reviews where people may have let slip a few details I'll be fine. DAMN IT. God, I need some happy pills right now.
And you know what else? Halfway through typing this stupid bitching blog, I threw up. Again. Just when I thought I was feeling better I throw up - and I only just finished my dinner. My mum must think I'm bulimic or something. | |

| I know Thursdays are the days I updated The Chase, but I apologise guys. I'm coming down with something and all it's doing is leaving me cranky, groggy and exhausted. I've spent the last two days lying in my bed either sleeping or on my laptop reading some FanFiction because I've read all my library books. When I'm not doing this I'm listening to either jazz or classical music trying to sleep or eating. I've no idea what I've got, probably just some bug going around. I get headaches, achy muscles, sore throat, dry cough and have been throwing up some. It's keeping me up at night to the point where at one point all I got was half an hour sleep. It's no surprise I spend the day time sleeping instead so I hope you can understand if I attempted to update any stories then they'd be absolutely rubbish.
My mums buying drugs - anything to keep me OK - after work tonight so I'm hoping I might be well enough to start the new chapter for The Chase but if I do it probably won't be finished until Sunday or Monday. I'll be able to keep updating The Effects of Alcohol because I've already got about another five chapters on my pen drive in wait of my beta checking them. So, I should be able to update that story. I'll be doing so tonight at about half ten (GMT) in hopes that I'll catch all the American people. ^-^
I haven't seen the real-life Edward since the first time - which is depressing to say the least. My friend - whom is in the year below me - finally finished school for the summer so I won't be nearly as bored. It sucks I'm ill though.
For anyone who hasn't already - please vote on the poll on my profile. It's real important and I need to hear your views. Remember to choose up to five options though. - Location:Bed

| Well, I haven't posted in a while.
Yesterday I went to see Wall-e with a group of my friends, and we're sitting outside the cinema because we're early when suddenly I spot this guy! OK, I know how this seems but hear me out. So, me and my friend are talking - and she's read the Twilight stories too - and I see him. And I go, "Don't look but that guy over there is exactly how I imagined Edward to look like." So first my friend is like, "Who's Edward?" and then she turns around and not-so-subtly goes "Oh My GOD!" and stands there wide-mouthed. Seriously, before I knew who was going to play Edward this guy would so of have had me going "WTF? Am I dreaming?" So we check the times and discover this is the only film playing tonight. So we get into the cinema and we nab the back seats so we get a whole view of the cinema.
During the credits me and my friend decided to look for this real-life Edward. We can't see well so we use both of our phone's camera lights to shine over people and I'm standing on my chair trying to look better. And then someone tells us off so we sit back down slightly heartbroken because we can't find him. And then halfway through the film I heard a guy laughing and I thought "Man that's a sexy laugh". So I follow the noise and it's HIM! So I nudge my friend and we spend most of the time left of the film trying to figure out if his hair is natural!!
Haha, then when we came out we went to the toilet and upon exiting them we saw him pass. And I grabbed my friends hand and we're like legging it down the stairs to catch up with him when our friend blocks our path!
We lost him. -sob- We actually threatened to murder our friend for it. But god, if Edward did exist - let me tell you girls. I never realised copper hair was so damn fiiiiine.
XDDD
In other news, I started my new story recently. The first two chapters are up on FanFiction. Check it out, now! It's awesome. - Tags:cinema, dreaming, edward, edward cullen, fanfiction, fine, new, omg, robert patterson, twilight, wall-e

| After an internal argumment that lasted about an hour one night whilst trying to sleep, I've decided somewhat reluctantly, to delete Every Cloud Has A Lining. I've already had a few concerned people PM me about this - saying they're upset I decided to get rid of the story. Simply, I do not think I'm mature enough yet to understand what an adult Bella - with two children - might say, act or feel. I've saved the chapters I had written in case ever I do want to pick off where I left it. My focus is more trained again on The Chase and impressed myself by releasing two good chapters. And I've almost hit the five hundred mark. Come on, just six more reviews. I'll try and update it on Monday if I hit the target.
More good news, I've completed the first and second chapter of my new Twilight fanfiction. And no, your eyes do not deceive you. I haven't actually posted it onto the site. I'm keeping it under wraps until I find a beta willing to take on my awful English spelling. I was originally planning not to release any of it until I'd come close to finishing one other story but as When Love Prevails only gets updated once a week and The Chase has a hell of a lot more waiting to be done I doubt it will happen anytime soon. I'll annoy myself if I kept it sitting on my pen drive for months because I'd end up forgetting how the characters are set in my mind. I'll give you a little news on this new story. The two possible titles. The Effects of Alcohol or Under the Influence. It'll be set with University-age characters in London. Again. I know, but the hassle of having to check I don't use English words for American-set fictions is driving me insane. I barely manage with The Chase let alone repeating this with another story. Personally I think it's a pretty unique plot - I haven't seen it down much. But then I don't browse much through Twilight fanfiction. I tend to stick to the same old authors who I know I like. I'm so set in my ways.
In good news, the sun is shining in England today. Or at least in the South East. Although it did rain this morning briefly. I would sunbathe but I'm too lazy. Besides I have an appointment with Matalan to go shopping. Wahey. I need new jeans. ^^
Much love,

| Firstly, happy dance anyone? I updated both The Chase and When Love Prevails in the last twelve hours. And I've just started today's chapter for Every Cloud Has A Lining. Yay me?
OK, mainly I'm bitching today because my mother did the ultimate evil thing. SHE SNOOPED!
I'm serious. I didn't think mums actually snooped through their children's bedroom. Apparently they did and my mother snooped majorly. The upside is she cleaned my room at the same time. Anyway, I'm in trouble because my room was messy, I lost my house keys, I had too many coathangers under my bed, I had a pen on the floor, my laptop was still plugged in - but still switched off - and other various stupid reasons. I have an empty bottle of WKD sitting on the floor of my bedroom which I got for my birthday and finished like a week later and I have another bottle which has about a third left on it and now my mum thinks I'm an alcoholic and that's why I've been so cranky recently. Hey, I was cranky because I wasn't sleeping. So yeah, she's all like 'Don't think you can hide things from ms. hannah, 22 from ---- town.' Yeah, she snooped around on myspace!! She found my old account which got hacked into - and thus the age was changed. But it still has a picture of me on it and my mum went ballistic. And the thing was, in the picture I had the wrong hair colour, real old glasses and was in the house we lived in about five years ago. I ws like 11 in the picture but if she looked just two pictures below this one she'd have seen my current one. The one where I have the correct hair colour, my new specs and the hoodie she bought me. But nooo, she totally missed that account. Stupid woman... And what was her excuse for snooping?! "Oh, I wanted to see if you had your cousin as your friend." Firstly, why?! My mother doesn't even have a myspace!! And secondly, I'd specifically been bitching about the fact that she only uses Bebo and facebook which I hate and that she wouldn't join myspace. I bitched about it all the way home from Wales! Gaaawd. I'm sooo angry. The only good thing that happened was the fact that she didn't find the condoms. Thank the lord I hid them in a jewellery box. She'd have grounded me for life - and I haven't even been grounded since I was like... ten.
Man I need to calm down but she is so nosy! How would she liked it if I snooped around in her room. Which I did, this morning. God, I did not want to see some of the stuff.
Much anger,
-Hanner! | |

| I'm serious. Yeah, you with the rifle. I'm too young to die. I don't have a good enough excuse as to why When Love Prevails was neither updated Tuesday nor Wednesday. I can tell you now I only have like...two pages to write but as it's a promised The Chase day and that story is my top priority...sorry guys. I feel really bad but if I have spare time tonight I'll finish it and update first thing in the morning before I begin Every Cloud Has A Lining.
Today was a slow day. It's been raining the typically British way and with it comes a feeling of depression. As we only returned from our holiday Monday we only have the essentials in the cupboards. Which means I can't even snuggle up in my pajamas with a hot cup of cocoa and some little marshmallows. We have tea though... XD
My friend's birthday was today, happy sixteenth. I'm upset I couldn't spend the day with her but alas, I am broke and I get chores on a Thursday from my mum. Monday is looking up because I'm seeing Wall-e in the cinema. It comes out in England tomorrow but my friends aren't free till Monday.
Now, back to my writing.
Much love,
-Hanner! | |
