It's just a more 'creative' way to say I suck at summaries so please read lol

then you'll get the reviews, "What's a palendrome? is that like some kind of exotic cheese or something?" lol

No, there were just so many words, I wasn't sure. lol

lmao. Maybe you should make use of it. ;)

Exotic apricot, obviously. lol

 Oh, and "Of Mice and Men." I cannot stand that book. lmao


My class in Junior high we saw the movie version, we all laughed when Lennie died, it was just the way he died that was funny. I mean, yeah its pretty messed up, but the way he went was funny. Its a 'you had to be there' moment.

LOL!!  We watched the movie too, but oddly enough, I don't remember the specifics of that part.

We feel like angst is a dying genre because readers don't want to read anything reflecting any kind of pain because its "depressing" but I think that it takes that deep dark emotional pain to become the best person you can be.

Angst is the best genre ever! It means that someone else's life is more depressing then mine! <--- Joking! LOL! I get so bored of boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, all sunshine and daises, she gives up everything to travel the world with him, then it either goes one of two ways - she ends up pregnant and they get married or they get married and have babies.

Give me some seedy affairs, illnesses, accidents, seperations anyday! Makes life a lot more intersting!

^ Ditto!  Angst is like a cathartic release; it makes you feel better about your own problems LOL.

I write the best angst when I'm in a really pissy mood.  I wrote Left and Leaving while I was fuming at my boyfriend, and people seemed to enjoy that lol

I suck at angst. I like it... sometimes... but I suck at it. I actually really enjoy the suspense a lot more than I ever thought I would though. Some of my favorite fanfics have been suspense ones.  And lol if you think about all the fics that are my favorites, like next to none of them are fluffy romances. Strange. Those are always my favorite to read and most definitely my faves to write, but they are never my favorite stories. I guess I'm just too picky and it's really hard to get them right. I'm still trying, maybe thats why I keep writing one fluffy romance after then next. Well, mostly... Mercy was my attempt at angst and I'm still not sure how I feel about that one. Interesting experience, but I think I'll leave the angst up to the pros.
