(Which has a brilliantly steampunkish name, I must say.) That's so neat that you wrote her those short stories! :D They sound adorable and hilarious and YES, I would definitely be interested! It reminds me a little bit of a really short story I once scribbled down called "The Significant Adventures of a Time-Conscious Elf." It was ridiculous. XD So yes, if Celti doesn't mind, definitely send them my way!Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-5307166312539767342015-07-04T22:47:17.768-05:002015-07-04T22:47:17.768-05:00*welcomes you with open arms into conversation*
Y...*welcomes you with open arms into conversation*<br /><br />Yes, this is something I've written. I've never talked about it on my blog though (that I can remember at least). You've probably seen me talk about a book called The Avriot that was a time travel, steampunk thing (and needs a looot of work, but I loved it and WILL rewrite it one day). But what we're talking about is some short stories I wrote for Celti. We're always talking about how time is going away so fast and everything, so a few years back for her birthday I wrote a short story about her and me meeting "Time" which is a guy who is the Timekeeper and literally keeps time. And he's ridiculous and the story is ridiculous but I had so much fun with it. XD So much that I wrote another one for Christmas, and then yet another for her next birthday. So there's three (so far). I love writing them! And if Celti doesn't mind, I certainly don't mind if you're interested in reading them! Only if you WANT TO THOUGH. I know you have a ton on your plate and you might not even be interested which is FINE. Annnd that was probably way more information than you wanted.

Oh yay, it'...You go! *waves pompoms and cheers*<br /><br />Oh yay, it's gonna be so fun! ^_^ Um... It'll actually be a while before I start sending the chapters out though. After I finish the first draft I'm going to take a break and work on other writerly things and stuff annnnd I don't suspect I'll actually get to editing it until January. :-/ So I suspect I won't REALLY start sending out chapters until somewhere around February. A long way away, I knoooow. But I have a strict "no mortal eyes dare look at my first drafts lest they melt" rule. Eheh. My first drafts are terrifying. So I want to edit it at least a little before others look upon the thing. So I'll probably be sending out each chapter as I edit it. Which will be...a good bit from now. So yes. But I WILL edit it and make it readable. I WILLLL!!! It just might be a bit...Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-54188122216525366232015-07-01T09:03:40.343-05:002015-07-01T09:03:40.343-05:00Thanks, dearie!

But this, I SHALL CHANGE. :]<br /><br />Marvelous!! Yes, yes, yes! I so wanna be one of your beta readers!

I have made it! I feared I wasn...THANK YOOUUU!!! I have made it! I feared I wasn't going to survive this long but I'm here and still alive. We're calling that success. ;D<br /><br />It totally looks awesome. I need to see it!!! And if you loved it then I'm sure I will, too!<br /><br />Oh my goodness! That quote is PERFECT. That's literally my mentality on things. Which...may not always be good because trying one's best is still a success. (Whoa, I rhymed. XD)<br />Hey, not writing isn't always a bad thing. I probably spend TOO much time doing it when I most likely should allow for more time for life and family and things. Do not bash yourself for setting aside your writing for a while! You're busy and have a lot going on. It'll still be there whenever you're ready. ^_^<br /><br />I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO BE A BETA READER, GIRL!!! I am sooo honored! Once I finish the first draft I'm gonna take quite a while off of it and do other things. But whenever I delve back into editing it I'll probably send out each edited chapter to my beta group, so if you want me to add you to that list I'd absolutely love to!Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-81838434391013171432015-06-30T09:34:00.798-05:002015-06-30T09:34:00.798-05:00CONGRATS, dearie!! You've made it to the last ...CONGRATS, dearie!! You've made it to the last day of June!! WOOHOO!!! I'm so happy for you, and my admiration only grows! You have persevered and I know you'll be rewarded for your efforts. *thumbs up HOO-AH!* <br /><br />Hahahaha! Yes, your dino references led me to think of Jurassic World and I have to say it was AWESOME. So darn scary (I jumped countless times), but really good--I'm pretty sure you'll love it.<br /><br />"Do, or do not. There is no try." Heheh, sorry, had to throw in the Yoda quote. . . You got this, girl! Just keep writing, just keep writing xD Wow. You're AMAZING. This makes me wanna pick up pen and. . . well, write. I've neglected my stories for far too long. *cue huge sigh* -_- Hey, if you ever need an extra beta reader, LET ME KNOW!!! Please? I love your style and your stories are definitely to my taste. Well done, thus far, warrior maiden.

THANK YOU.
It was...I DID AND I'M SO EXCITED!!! THANK YOU.<br /><br />It was. o.o I was not expecting it to be that crazy but it WAS good, so I won't complain! Ya know, much. ;) Where DID June run off to? I think it mistook itself for a week instead of a month and just zipped by.<br />I had forgotten Jurassic World had just come out and then I went searching for dinosaur gifs and was flooded with ones from that movie and I was like, "OH YEAH!" XD I haven't seen it either, but I'd like to. I have seen the original Jurassic movies, but only once and it's been a while. They were good though.<br /><br />I'm going to try! Who knows, it may all fall apart. But I shall try! *raises pen and charges* Thank you sooo much for the encouragement! And that is most certainly NOT selfish reasons. The fact that people WANT to read my stories is the very thing that drives me to write them. Your enthusiasm for it motivates me so, so, SO much!<br />THE CAPTAIN AMERICA QUOTE. THANK YOU. It's like the besssst! XD I have felt like the walking dead these past few days...<br /><br />Tehehehe. I'm not making any promises, but let's just say a Sleeping Beauty story will probably happen... *cough, cough*<br /><br />No, no, no, no, no, no! Your emails and comments make. my. day. Like you just have no idea how much you make me smile!! It's so FUN talking to you! I WANT to correspond with you all the time. It's just silly life getting in the way. Psh. Life. >.> BUT I LOVE YOUR EMAILS AND COMMENTS.<br /><br />Oh yay, I can't wait to read your summary! :D Thank YOU for being awesome, you sweet thing! <333Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-65319588127746447222015-06-29T21:53:39.178-05:002015-06-29T21:53:39.178-05:00You made it, you made it, YOU MADE IT! :D :D :D Wa...You made it, you made it, YOU MADE IT! :D :D :D Way to go! I admire that drive.<br /><br />Yipes, your June sounds full! (Mine was too. Where the blazes did June run off to?) But it sounds like all the fullness was a result of many great things--family, OUaT, writing, etc. <3 And can I just say all those stampeding dinosaurs running you over keep reminding me of Jurassic World. Which I have not seen. ....Nor have I seen *any* of the Jurassic movies yet. But I digress.<br /><br />*le gasp* And you're going to keep GOING? Wow, you're amazing! I'm so cheering you on, girl! You got this! And I really really can't wait to get my hands on the new BT when it's ready. *squee* So I have somewhat selfish reasons for cheering for you...oops. XD But please, if you can help it, stay alive. Here, have an inspiring Captain America quote: "You get hurt, hurt 'em back. You get killed...walk it off." XDDD<br /><br />I will not comment on the Magic Spindles contest. I won't. *zips lips*<br /><br />(Oh dear, I accidently contributed to the messy inbox, bloggy catch-up, and pile of things to do, didn't I? Do take your time with all that! It's not like every blog post needs a comment this very instant, nor does every email need a response this very instant...You get the picture. Breathe.)<br /><br />Well, you already know about writerly projects...and as to the other questions, I've got a June summary post upcoming. I must say, WAY TO GO, YOU DINOSAUR FIGHTER. You're awesome. ;D<br />Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.com
