Featured Story of the month for November 2007 - Somewhere I Belong by Teri

<< < (10/29) > >>

Tri:
Yeah, that's another one of your great strengths.  You have realistic events take place.  There's none of this cheating all the time or the main characters constantly being miserable.  They have happy moments and sad moments, but it's relatively balanced (yes, I understand that some people don't have a very balanced life, but for the most part, people CAN be happy and sad).  Since you obviously have a firm grasp on human nature and psychology and sociology, it shows in your writing and it changes the characters.

I read somewhere that the best character isn't the one you liked the most in the story, but the one that changed the most in the story.  And if that's the way you see it, too, then your characters are just peachy.  :)

Teri:
*blushes* I try hehe. It's hard I'm not going to lie any of us writers on here know that making a story is a difficult thing. And I really had NO idea that so many people held mine in such high regard. And really I thank each and everyone for reading and being there through the drama. Cuz really these are very personal stories to me. Alot of what happens has happened in some form or another to me in real life at least symbollically (is that even a word? LOL)

Tri:
Yeah, I understand that it's difficult to be totally happy with your own work.  I mean, I remember when I started posting mine this summer and I was REALLY nervous.  My goal was 20 chapters and 10 reviews by September.  LOL.  Four months later, I'm nearly two-thirds of the way through my sequel... 

But anyways, I'm not trying to make you feel like you're never going to live up to what you've already written (cause sometimes that can totally happen if you hear too much praise).  I'm just saying that you've really got something here and I'm excited to see it continue!  And the fact that you've lived or can at least relate to the events in your plot show.  Your characters are so consistent with their thinking and actions...  Hence, YODA.  ;D

Teri:
ROFL omg I'm never living down that name am I? LOL Although he is the coolest character in star wars. And by far the smartest hehe! So it's an honor.

Teri:
So yeah I just totally updated, second time this weekend! WOO! lol I'm excited, although not much else is going to get written til next saturday shamefully I'm horrendously backed up with school this week yuck!
