Title: Hawk and a Handsaw update! *gasps*
Post by: julilly on October 06, 2007, 09:18:14 PM
I know, I know, I'm a horrible person for updating like... NEVER! I was so inspired by Mare telling me when I have my next chapter done that I not only finished it but I surpassed the deadline by nearly a whole week! :)

That being said, Chapter Thirteen of Hawk and a Handsaw is now available for reading!

http://accidentalchaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8126

I know I've said it dozens of times but this time I'm serious when I say I will put a little bit of effort into maybe getting myself to think about starting the next one. Okay? lol

...don't get too excited, this isn't a real update.

It's more of a...update.

I just want to assure everyone that H&H will be finished. I wanted it finished by the end of the year, and I vocalized that wish so therefore it can't happen.

I got really stuck on this past chapter, so in trying to get the creative juices flowing I was able to write everything else BUT H&H. Karma.

I'm really trying though, I've just kind of hit a wall, so bear with me! :)

Julilly. *frowns* Where's that update of Hawk and Handsaw that we've all been eagerly waiting for? I believe you said something like, "I just want to assure everyone that H&H will be finished."

*taps foot impatiently* I know I'm not Mare, so I can't set any deadlines, but I'm super eagerly awaiting that update that's like 6 months late in coming! Get on it woman!

Title: Re: Hawk and a Handsaw update! *gasps*
Post by: starbeamz on March 29, 2008, 07:39:22 PM
sorry, mare. no update, but i thought i'd post something reminding a certain miss julilly that we haven't forgotten about H&H *still tapping foot impatiently*

No, you didn't update...thus the point of me posting in your update thread. 

to borrow from Lenni, "UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

that is all. :P

Post by: julilly on March 29, 2008, 09:39:26 PM
Losing my notes when I moved has really slowed me down, and I'm having a hard time picking it back up since I can't remember what happens between the point I'm at now and the climax. I'm still desperately looking for the notes, or the memories that will help me get it done. I'm trying though, I promise.

Well, that's all that I can ask for ;D I was just hoping that you hadn't completely forgotten about it because that would make me  :'(  Thanks for still trying!

Sorry, Julie lol

lol I know what you mean, especially when I've got finals coming up. It's like school or the 3 stories I've got going. Such a tough decision lol

I think it would be awesome if you could give us a chapter a month. Would that make it easier to update if you had an entire month as a deadline?
Title: Re: Hawk and a Handsaw update! *gasps*
Post by: julilly on April 21, 2008, 10:32:05 AM
I might be able to handle that lol

I was watching a show about giraffes on Animal Planet once, and it was talking about how their trainers play a game with them to keep them distracted and calm while they are getting medical care or anything like that.  The "game" is that the giraffes have to follow a ball on a stick with their heads, and if they do, they get a treat.  It's really behavior conditioning.  But because their memory is shorter than the time it takes them to lower their necks to follow the ball, the trainers have to make a noise in between lowering the ball and giving them the treat, to remind them what they're supposed to be doing, because otherwise they would forget.

Kinda like how Mare can't remember what she read five minutes ago. :D :P

You know how long it took me to FIND this thread? Holy.

Well I struggled with it all day but finally managed to pump out a chapter. I'm not really happy with it but it... kind of needs to happen. I have to get everyone into one place! lol
Title: Re: Hawk and a Handsaw update! *gasps*

How come I didn't see this? I had no idea you updated. Your story isn't even on the first page anymore lol

What's funny is that I said to Kelly today "I tried SO HARD and NO ONE has read my update! *tear*" lol

Post by: honey on August 15, 2008, 08:30:54 PM
I love you! And I love this story! And I love that you updated, but by the time I saw it it was like two stories from being on page THREE of the recent updates. My guess is that just most people didn't see it.
Title: Re: Hawk and a Handsaw update! *gasps*
Post by: mare on August 15, 2008, 09:20:31 PM
^ yup exactly! I had no idea you updated for some reason it didn't say new by this thread for me either so I didn't notice it was up top.

But i've read it now so all is right with the world lol
Title: Re: Hawk and a Handsaw update! *gasps*
Post by: Rose on August 16, 2008, 12:10:41 PM
You updated? Gah!

Will read later today :D
Title: Re: Hawk and a Handsaw update! *gasps*
Post by: RokofAges75 on August 17, 2008, 12:33:53 PM
I just read it, Julilly!  I squealed when I got the email about it being updated; I just didn't get to reading it right away LOL.  Sorry about that.  I thought it was a good chapter, and I loved how you started it, with the imagery of the San Francisco movie car chase.

Like I said in my review, I just found it kind of confusing because it's been so long, I've forgotten a lot of details from earlier in the story, and that made it kind of hard to follow.  It has nothing to do with your writing, which is as great as ever; it's just all the time between updates.  It's like when you see a movie once, and the sequel comes out a year later, and as you watch it, you're like, "Wow, I wish I could remember the first movie because I'm sure this would make more sense if I did."  That's how I felt reading this chapter LOL.  I remembered that Valerie was supposedly "dead" and that Nick is still prancing around in Toni's decaying corpse, but that was about it LOL.  So I just need to go back and reread first the next time you update.  (Or you could just try updating a little more often and save us the confusion. ;))
Title: Re: Hawk and a Handsaw update! *gasps*
Post by: julilly on August 17, 2008, 01:04:23 PM
It was the same for me... I had to go back and reread the last chapter before I could even start writing. *sigh* This thing is really plaguing me you have no idea lol
Title: Re: Hawk and a Handsaw update! *gasps*
Post by: RokofAges75 on August 17, 2008, 01:26:54 PM
I know how that goes... it's really hard to get the inspiration going when it's been that long and you can't even remember what happened last in the story LOL. 
Title: Re: Hawk and a Handsaw update! *gasps*
Post by: julilly on December 18, 2008, 07:49:36 PM
So... hey... what's up?

I had to go 3 pages back to even find this thread, and then it tried to tell me to start a new one because this one was so old.

Wow. I'm a terrible person.

I'll try to make up for it... so here's Ch 19!
