Heather: The New Blog

Just in case anyone actually cares about our awesome writing adventures, our new blog (and fresh start) where we actually post regularly is www.amorscribens.blogspot.com . Enjoy!

Ned: I think its time to call me Emilie XD

Not that I don't love Ned, I really do, but I started calling myself that years ago, when I was in that paranoid age where if people knew my real name they'd track me down and like, drown me or something aha. So yes, I'll probably be calling myself Emilie from now on.

But I miss you guys like crazy and I know we all sort of drifted apart and maybe one day when we're all sitting around the camp fire I'll share the story of what got in the way of my coming on here, but I can say now that its finally over and I don't have to worry about it anymore. I will say the month coming up is going to be hectic with exams and summatives, I'm willing to put in the effort to revive this place. <3 nbsp="" p="">
I agree with Nicole though, for some reason starting fresh, a new site, a new look, maybe even a new name, seems like it would do us some good. It would feel more official to me.

I regret to say that without you guys pushing me to keep writing my writing has all but stopped and that was one of the reasons I started stalking this place again, I want to keep writing and to talk about it with y'all.

I miss you like crazy, I hope you guys feel the same? 

Nicole: IT LIVES!!!!

Coming on here and seeing no recent posts, or comments, or anything, is a pretty bleak and depressing feeling. I may be watching a few too many zombie films lately, but I imagine it's what waking up in an apocalypse would feel like. You walk out of your house and you're surrounded by nothingness with tumble weeds rolling across the camera. Even if you screamed, or maybe the alternative would be typing a post in capital letters, no one would hear (or, in this case, see).

But, there is still life! I miss this place a lot, it was a little escape where we could all talk about something we loved. I used to get so inspired by you all and I think that's what I miss the most, the feeling of inspiration, even if it was just from talking about this mutual love that we all shared, when I came on here. And I would really like to salvage that, if it can happen.

I was also thinking, if there is further life here than just Heather and I, maybe a makeover or even a new  blog and title might do us good? It's just a thought, but maybe even a title more suitable for the entirety of the group, something exciting to do with writing? Let me know, and let me know if what you think of the idea of a new blog altogether, it would be hard because there's so much history here but of course we'll never delete or lose this! I was just thinking maybe a fresh start, a way to re-introduce ourselves and a way to recreate the SAAWAKM atmosphere we once all loved, and maybe to even start inviting people again.

So, if you would all care to join me in this imaginary zombie apocalypse that would be incredible.

Heather: Curious.

It's been a long time.
6 posts so far this year, and now it's May.  There's nine of us here (supposedly, and if my mental math isn't totally off[scratch that, it's eleven apparently]) and we've all just faded. I see most of you on facebook (hell, I practically live on facebook) but we don't even talk, at least not usually (even Kas and I have been infrequent of late). (Mutual fault here, no blame being laid, just a statement.)
I just thought I would check back. I haven't been on here in forever and I'd like to say that even if you don't check here very often or don't feel like posting, or we haven't talked in forever, you guys are always going to be incredibly important to me. Life catches up with us: we can't always be bored teenagers with all their time to dedicate toward writing and posting like crazy and I get that and maybe SAAWAKM is done forever. But I still like about you all pretty much everyday. Because this blog helped me to grow and it helped my writing to grow and I got to meet and be friends with all of you and for that, I am so happy.
I'm not really sure if anyone will read this post, but if you do, please comment that you're here.
I'm not really sure what I'm going to do, if I'm going to be lazy and never try to revive this place, or if I'm going to start posting again, but I miss what we have had with this blog -- and all of you too.
Maybe you guys aren't having the same issue, but I've begun to feel that my writing is going the way of the blog: I never seem to have time or energy, ideas are harder to come by: but I love writing and despite this slump I won't give it up, which I think is what really brought me here. This blog is taking its last breath and we can either perform CPR or leave it to die.
This was much more depressing than intended, but I think the message has gotten across. What do those of you that still come here think?
I miss you all!

Kamie: Well... I guess I follow Rachel!!! Lol!

Haha! Irony of the fact that I decided to get on here and post a day after Rachel and we're in the same town, along with on the same Spring Break! Woooo! Spring Break! I have so much homework to do over this break that I'm not sure how refreshing it's going to be yet. I honestly don't know what drove me to get on here, but I've been thinking a lot on my writing, and how it's been dying, yet I love it so much to just let it die. I became really inspired today, and of all days, is a super busy day for me. Woot, for business! The sad part of it all is that I haven't talked to any of you (besides Rachel who(m)(?) I see everyday at school) in forever. That includes Cori! I've been super busy, so this is my way of saying an extreme apology to all of you. Well, I don't have that much to say, except for the fact that I really need to get back on writing. It's refreshing for me and helps me in so many ways. Also I miss hearing from all of y'all.

Rachel: It's been a while...

Well, obviously it's been about an eternity since I've posted anything. I'm not sure why I stopped posting--too busy, maybe?--or why I'm back--Spring Break, maybe?--but, at any rate, it feels good to be on the blog again. I don't really have all that much to say; I just wanted to prove that I'm still alive, I suppose, and to say "hi" to everybody. I've missed you all and your amazingness. I've been doing quite a bit of writing lately (Death List is still in the works, but it's getting closer to the end everyday) and I hope you all have been as well. I'll probably be on here more often from now on (or die trying), so you can all look forward to that (sacrasm, sarcasm.) ANYWAY, hi! Happy Spring!

Cori: Popularity

So, I recently joined this writing website that's basically invitation only (you have to be referred, and then you have to have permission to actually get in)...which was a big ego-boost...and it's really cool. Most people on there are Twilight addicts, but I can deal - I met this girl who hates it as much as I do, which is really refreshing.

What's really awesome, though, is the fact that a lot of people like my writing. Enough to ask me to get a banner made so they can feature Caged on their main page. Which is another huge ego-boost.

I'm so popular. xD

And arrogant, apparently.

So, that's really all I wanted to say...Caged is partly finished when it comes to editing (I keep finding little mistakes here and there, blech), I've soft of...ish...started to write the sequel, which now has two chapters, and I've been stressing out about getting that banner made. Oh, and I've been giving out dubious dating advice (my friend's boyfriend dumped her because she didn't want him to beat up this one dude, which I think is totally justified - the guy apologized a ton for what he said)...dubious, because I have commitment issues and although I was once in a three-year relationship, I'm really not the best person to go to when you're having relationship problems.

Speaking of relationships...my girlfriend and I are having our anniversary on the 6th as well, Kas. Four months, baby! Woo! And not a single argument yet. (Which is shocking, because I've usually fought with them by the second week.)

Okay. I think I'm going to bed (I'm really not), because I'm exhausted (which really doesn't matter, because I'm not going to sleep). Night, everyone! (I'm such a liar. xD!)

Kas: Silver

Hey ladies, long time no talk.

Sorry I've been MIA, but college is hard.

So, I'm just making this post to update you all a little on whats going on with me. I'm in my second semester of college, and i changed my major to History. My three month anniversary with Travis is February 6th. Uhm... there sin't too much else going on, i'm just trying to keep up with all my school work at the moment.

Also, Heather and I have finally begun the editing on Silver. Today is the first day we're doing it, so wish us luck on that. Hopefully we'll get it done without any long breaks this time.

I hope you're all happy and doing well. I'm going to try to post more often.

Cori: Back to the drawing board.

So I sent in my query to "the perfect agent" (seriously, he likes horror fantasy AND he's a total nut - perfect agent for me)! And...I was rejected. I'm okay.

I actually have been rejected before, back when I was still writing Charlie and the gang, and Altrius was still a very minor character. So I've already built up a bit of a tough skin against it. Still kind of hurt, though.

The guy was super nice about it. He told me that what I had was great, but it wasn't what he was looking for at the time. I'm going to keep trying...he said that there's tons of agents who would like it. At least he wasn't totally snooty about it haha. And he managed to keep my brooding about it to a minimum; I sat and scowled at the bus seat in front of me for a while, listening to depressing screamo music until I got to school (so, I basically pouted for thirty minutes). I'm feeling much better now. xD

Soon, I'm going to look for more agents. So now it's back to the drawing board...might rewrite my query a few times to get out any kinks there might have been. Blah.

Cori: 5 days!

Crapcrapcrap - I only have five days left to edit Caged and edit my query and write a freaking synopsis...what have I been doing all this time?

Oh, right: playing Sims.

This is short...I know...it's not going to be read anyway haha. I don't really see the point in writing a bunch of words that nobody will ever look at. xD

Gotta go. Need to edit Caged. I'm so screwed.
