RFWW Chapter One

"Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing those you hold well."

Well, the new version of Chapter One is posted!  It's posted as a new story because there were a few people that wanted me to leave the old one up as well.

I WILL NOT CONTINUE TO POST ON THE OLD VERSION.

The new version is the story now.  If you don't want to read it, that's fine.  I'll post when the new version has caught up to the old one, but I really think you should read the new one.  Fifth year is practically a whole new story, since I didn't really have much about that year in the old version.


You can ask questions here (I don't mind if you post anonymously), and I will be answering a lot of questions about the new story here as well, so make sure you check back if you want anything answered!

2011

The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.

Happy New Year!  I'm a bit late, but there was this party... Haha.

Anyway, this is the year that:

• I graduate high school and start college.
• Raindrops gets re-posted as a new story (eventually).
• Raindrops has its fourth birthday.

Just so you know where I am with my writing, Secondhand Wings Chapter 11 (tentatively titled 'Defining Moments') has about 4,000 words.  Raindrops Chapter 51 is only at about 2,000.  However, I'm debating on leaving it there (as 50 was a fitting way to end it) and just start posting the new version. That version is at 26,768 words right now.  It also has a full outline.  Like, the ENTIRE story.  It took up about 80 hand-written pages.

So basically, bug me to write.  That seems to be the only way I get anything done. :P

And again, HAPPY 2011!  I hope sincerely that you write some good stories and read some good books, meet some nice people and have the best year of your life to date. (:

Love Always,

Kayla

It's Kind Of A Funny Story

Except it's not.  It's creepy as all get-out, actually.

So I went on forumspring the other day and I had a new question.  Whoever it was said something along the lines of "I don't know you, but you're really cute."  I told him/her that that was creepy.

They asked how, and I explained to them the concept of a random stranger speaking to you on the internet.

Then, this person was like, "Oh, well, I'm Greg."

GREG.

All I could think of was omfg--Greg Pearson.

Not okay.

He wanted to chat.  Of course I said no.

That was my freaky story of the week.  Until something worse happens.

Love Always,
Kayla

Wings Teaser

“I can’t do it,” said the Head Girl mournfully.  “I’ll just stay in here forever and eat parchment and soap.  And I won’t have to go to classes because you two can bring me my work, and—“

“Mae,” Emily King said firmly, her hands on her hips, “You are getting out of this bed, you’re going to fix your hair and put on your makeup and look stunning.  Then, you are going to march out of this dormitory and down to the Great Hall, and you will face him like a man.”
