You think being ripping apart is the worst thing? Try being left over for some baby novel still in brainstorm form. Pfft. Writers are the worst. With all those novels to love, she's neglecting me!

TAN,
I should get my novel ...Wow, Katie so funny!<br /><br />TAN, <br />I should get my novel in touch with you, ELMA M. BAN (Everybody Loves My Attitude, Me, Being A Novel) She has an attitude like yours, I think you'd like her...<br /><br />Hey Anika, <br />you're out of this conversation!<br />Hi TAN! I'm ELMA M. BAN! I like how you spoke up against being edited! Don't you hate having your insides tampered with? I'm barely half written, but so far I don't like what Anika's writing.<br /><br />...What do you mean you don't like what I'm writing?

I feel sorry for you TAN. *pats bookish shoulder* I think authors are horrible creatures of course, particularly with all that fiddling and hacking and sawing and complaining. And then authors go out amongst their friends and they all complain about how awful their novel is being. IT'S REALLY RATHER UNFAIR ISN'T IT? I mean what did <i>you</i> ever do to deserve this. *gives you bookish cake* There, there, I'd say it's going to be okay, but I'm sure Katie will just cut off another of your limbs in edits soon or whatnot.

My novel (hi...Fantastic post, Katie & Tan! :) <br /><br />My novel (his full name is Untitled British Steampunk Mystery... but I just affectionately call him "Punk".) wishes to have a word with Tan. I apologize in advance, Katie. He knows not what he does!<br /><br />Punk: "Heavens, Tan, I hardly know you but I whole-heartedly agree! When will the fidgeting authors end? I barely have a chapter-and-a-half, and Hannah WILL "tweak" things before we've scarcely started! She keeps mumbling something about 'wanting magical powers from Charles Dickens'?? Why is she comparing me with other stories? I AM A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL. Anyway, I believe we should get started on a Novel Labor Strike. Perhaps that will put our employers in their place. Think about it... My people will call your people, alright? Adieu!" <3H.M.

Seriously! Everything you said AND MORE!!! My writer hasn't started editing me yet, though... She has yet to finish a draft. -.-<br /><br />Me: It's not that bad...<br /><br />Guardian: You keep on getting to multiple thousands of words and then realize that you haven't done enough worldbuilding and planning to keep me going! You've been ripping me apart and restarting and backing up only to realize that you overlooked some "minute" detail that completely throws the whole plot into a tailspin, and then you start ALL. OVER. AGAIN. You're a nuisance and I would be written just fine without you!<br /><br />Me: Well, if you wanted someone that has some decent form of order going, you should have gone knocking on Tolkien's or J. K. Rowling's door. It's not my fault that you're stuck with me!<br /><br />Guardian: *grumbles* Writers... *makes it a point to ignore me and focuses back on TAN* Anyway, I know what you're talking about. Any time you need some moral support or backup to stick it to your writer, please let me know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745444401384420773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445138433367622139.post-8291021773717012152016-02-08T16:30:15.743-06:002016-02-08T16:30:15.743-06:00I'm so glad! xD I hope that novel goes SUPER d...<b>I'm so glad! xD I hope that novel goes SUPER duper well. :D</b>Katie Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867517507191129951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445138433367622139.post-58585219888228915132016-02-08T16:29:45.561-06:002016-02-08T16:29:45.561-06:00(I wasn't aware until Tan took over my blog, s...<b>(I wasn't aware until Tan took over my blog, so. :P)</b><br /><br /><i>Tan:</i> Bro sounds cool.
