my new lj

[essbeejay]

this isn't my actual personal lj, it's mainly for my "business endeavours" (aka writing projects) so my personal one doesn't get all cluttered and crap.

hah, i need to get a picture up later. whee.

um, chances are you're here b/c you're curious about what the hell i'm doing with my stories. well. . . here are the original authors' notes for "a skirt for sunday evening pt. 6" i cut it out of the actual fic b/c they were just too long and really didn't need to be there. . .

beginning a/n

remember what i said about that last chapter being a BITCH to type up?

that was before i attempted to do THIS one.

holy shit. if any of you guys want the statistics, it currently takes up 46 pages (not including authors' notes) in microsoft word in times new roman font size 10. my entire weekend was devoted to finishing this and writing it. now that i've forsaken homework for it, i have approximately 18 hours to study for my bio test. then i have government homework to do. and statistics homework. and a novel to read for spanish. and something else for english that i can't quite remember. and tmea music to practice. not to mention a choir concert. . . christ, i will go INSANEEEEEEEE. . . @-*

*sigh* anyway, wow. the jukebox video selection got. . . mixed reviews ^^ my only purpose is to make you sit and torture yourselves, so i suppose i succeeded, to some extent *throws confetti* thanks for the variety in responses, though. . . overall people seemed to like it for originality; overall people seemed to dislike it b/c it wasn't an actual part. . . teehee.

anyway, if you thought the ending of pt. v was supposed to be the climax, damn, were you ever wrong. ^^ it has yet to come.

this part. . . i seriously had to consider whether i should've upped the rating or not. you'll see why. btw, butch finally says a naughty word. yeah, you know: THAT one. if you're reading and you reach a part that starts to disturb you, just skip down. it was hard for me to write; so i can understand that it might be hard to read too. . .

i've gone through about 3 notebooks for this part alone. i scratched, edited, rewrote, re-scratched, re-edited, and tore out a lot of hair. there's enough of it on my rug to make a whole 'nuther jen now. in short? i wanted to make this part GOOD. i think i've done ok. . . not great, but ok. . .

so i hope you like it. i've been bending myself over backwards for this story lately. . . and i'm not sure how soon the next part will come out. but i'll address that after the story.

pardon any typos. nonetheless, enjoy.

end a/n
wow. that was cool. after i typed up the beginning author's notes that last line was on one page alone. . . it sounded SO amazing. . .

so i'll leave it up to you guys who are reviewing: should i re-rate this story? specifically, this part? while it wasn't really. . . oh hell, i dunno. just tell me what you think. me personally, i judge it as pg-13, but there are some sheltered ones out there who might say it'd be more suitable to rate it r. . .

god damn, you must hate me, huh? ^^

poor buttercup.

and now about the next part: it might take awhile. why?

hm.

i'm a senior. senior as in last year of high school. i've got 6 ap (yes, count them) SIX ap courses this year (stat, spanish, bio, gov't/economics, and english), not to mention i've got sat, act, and satII's to take. and college applications. and letters of recommendation to request. all before the end of this year. hot damn.

ooh! i get my drivers' license feb. 1! damn the waity-ness. i wanna drive NOW.

i'll do my best, but please understand. . . i am DYING to get all this taken care of. i've already cut off my home internet access so i can focus more (so no more aim ;_;), tho i WILL be able to update from school. i was so happy to receive my class rank and i had moved up 2 points! *yay, jen is pathetic*

as much as i love working on this story, it's gonna have to sit on the back burners for a while. hope you guys can wait.

on a final note, i will start keeping updates on the writing process of my stories & any ideas i have on a new livejournal i opened (in addition to my personal one)

yay for the comic johnny the homicidal maniac. reading about a psychotic killer keeps me sane *twitchtwitch*

and that was the whole thing. so there's an explanation. feel free to post a little something; t'would make me all happy like. i'll try to keep you guys posted as often as i can. . . other than that, thanks fer reading! i love you all. . .
