The fact that a guy would be that courageous and selfless and then be penalized for it is absurd.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587606391756085543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-61971060250382628122013-01-12T14:02:50.554-06:002013-01-12T14:02:50.554-06:00I haven't had long hair since I was 12!! It lo...I haven't had long hair since I was 12!! It looked awful because I was too young and lazy and pubescent to take care of it. But now I'm giving it another shot. Luckily, my hair grows pretty fast (if I don't cut it), so it shouldn't take too long.<br /><br />I saw your pictures, by the way. They looked great -- before and after! Did you read about that boy at a private school who was penalized for having long hair, when he wanted to donate it to Locks of Love? :P Unbelievable.

3) Well, you get to...1) It's all just hair. :)<br /><br />3) Well, you get to 200k words and you're like, *squint* *blinkblink* "Wait a second..."<br /><br />Yeah, that was tough. But writing as one book while in denial was harder. It needs a major overhaul but that's easier than forcing it to be one monsterbook.<br /><br />4) I have gotten a lot of mixed reactions from people on that one. I'm a little worried, not gonna lie. But is it bad that I feel...relieved? There's really no other word for it. Finally no one is expecting me to deliver a product I haven't had time to prepare.<br /><br />5) Yeah, Tolkien is pretty dense. But good. I WILL find time to read it again, I swear...Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725049899131699912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-79237578902302586652013-01-12T13:55:37.872-06:002013-01-12T13:55:37.872-06:00Thanks, and best of luck on your editing.

I'm actually about to put up pictures. That's great if you do that. I also can't picture you with long hair :P It'll be cool to see. New looks are fun. And congrats on your book/s! Hopefully editing goes well.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587606391756085543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-83663789288640121112013-01-02T00:15:21.502-06:002013-01-02T00:15:21.502-06:001) I look forward to seeing how that works out, si...1) I look forward to seeing how that works out, since I only know you with short hair. Which looks good on you of course. But I tend to like it when women have long hair. That's not a male dominance, misogyny kind of thing either. I just like it.<br /><br />2) Yes. By all means be relentless on that one...<br /><br />3)You know what they say...writing is really editing. So though you had to alter the master plan, hopefully you will fall in love with the process of the editing of the book. Wise of you to know it was really two books. Not everyone would have conceded that about their work.<br /><br />4)Again, as they say, if you love something, let it go for a while...it will come back to you even better than before. Or something...<br /><br />5)I read the Hobbit, and tried the trilogy. I'm not saying I will never try it again, but I found it too thick, even though I liked aspects of it. Like eating a whole excellent pie at once. Too much.<br /><br />I myself rarely make resolutions anymore. Like you said I almost always forget what they were by the end of February anyway. But I do set goals each year, particularly for my writing.Ty Unglebowerhttp://www.tyunglebower.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-40335558177754305652013-01-01T18:24:11.126-06:002013-01-01T18:24:11.126-06:00I hope that splitting the book works for you.

It has been a huge struggle pulling them together, but it has been worthwhile.<br /><br />Kate Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
