Well, I'll probably finish it some time today. XD I love seeing long chapters in stories anyway.

Yes. Long chapters are fun to type and read, but they can also be a pain in the rear end when you're writing them...

Writing them is one thing, since I usually get completely into the mood and do it like the wind...but the EDITING! D8 Concerning how huge chapters I do, it sometimes drives me up the wall when I have to read through 15+ pages all over again...makes me dizzy. XD

Oh, btw, if anyone's interested, I'm here to tell that PTD is most likely to be update on the weekend. I'm nearly done with Ch. 6, but I'll have to upload it in chunks, since I still have one long scene to do, and I'm already at the 23rd page. XD

*sigh* Very true... Y'know, it's completely clear to see - my style for writing takes a huge turn on Chapter 2 Part 2.... I begin feeling more confident with myself, and therefore, able to be at ease. Chapter 1 and the first half of Chapter 2 were the times when I had a lower level of self-esteem, and I was worried about what others thought of me. But then, I began to type more freely, and I felt the words go through freshly in my mind... One thing, however. I kinda got excited and overdid it a bit... Eheh... But thanks to you - Zay, and with all of my friend's encouragement, I was eventually able to pull off such a task. Now I read tons of books to widen my writing abilities.

Oh yes, the editing... Ugh! How on earth am I gonna be able to do this? Especially Chapter 2... You've got to be kidding me! But it's Chapter 1 that needs the most help. It's written rather sloppily and in an unorganized fashion. Makes me sick to re-read it...

That's great! :D I can't wait to read it... Now I have many long days left to go to see it... DX *sigh* Ah well, take your time...

i can't wait to read either updates, when (and if... :pascontent: ) they are put up. personally though, i don't like long chapters, because i use chapters as points to start and stop reading at. i don't like to stop reading mid-chapter, but you guys - especially zay - force me to. but they're awesome chapters, so it's ok. :bigup:

Heheh... we're sorry, HC. Personally, I dislike typing long chapters myself. As I have stated before (and I will yet again), I believe they're a pain in the neck. Especially for younger students such as myself - who have a difficulty finding the right words to use in our stories. And don't worry. I will post it... Eventually. I've been working on Chapter 3 for a few days now.

But yes, Zay... I'll be looking forward to the update. Okay, now my days are even slower now, with this excitement being lit up inside me... And the tests I have to take all week don't really speed it up... :|

s-hame about the tests you're doing, because i want to see where this goes before i forget it. i had a hard time remembering it just now. :oops: for the record, that doesn't mean you're a bad writer, it just means i have a bad memory. :oops:
because the chapters are really short in my fanfic, often write about 3 at a time. :mryellow:

Heheh... don't worry about that. And that's okay! :D Someone is bound to hate my fan-fic, right? But that's a good thing, for me (in a rather strange way, but it is... Everyone has their own opinions about all stories, and I very much appreciate it. ;)) Oh yes - I happen to forget about some things as well... Eheh... Of course, it's a part of human nature. It's completely natural to forget random things.

Lucky... It takes me at least a few weeks to complete one freaking chapter. And I have so much left to go... Argh...

Yes, it's a bummer. I have to take these tests every single day. Two or three, at maximum. Luckily, I find them rather easy... But still. They bore the heck outta me...

Well, what can I say? Before, I was always worried wether it'll be too short to enjoy...now I don't really care about the length...and it shows too. XD 25 and a half pages done now, and I'll hopefully finish it up tomorrow, then a final edit in the afternoon, a beta, and you'll probably have it your hands by Monday, tops. 83 My chapter usually take less than two weeks to complete (minus the weekends, I never write on weekends), the other two weeks are only a cooldown after the last chapter-part, so my brain won't fry. XD

I've thought sometimes about redesigning my earlier chapters, especially the first...but no. Maybe, when I finish the first story, I'll do it, but not until then. I know it's a bit selfish, but I want everyone to see where I started from, so that they won't think that I'm a prodigy and they couldn't do it themselves. I wanna encourage everyone, but showing that I started no differently than they did. After all, what more could a writer wish for, when he/she can actually inspire others? ^__^

You have no idea what bad memory truly means. Believe it or not, but every single day I have to re-read what I've done the other day, cause I forget them overnight! XD I guess it's payback for the machine-mode I go into when writing. XD

Anytime. I'm happy I could help you. ^__^

I'm very sorry to say - I'm going to have to delay the update... Apparently, I took too long of a vacation, and I'm struggling to find the inner writing ability within myself again. I was originally going to post the next chapter this month, but you guys might have to wait for another thirty or fifty days... Sorry! I'm trying to make Chapter 3 an enjoyable read.

I know all too well what it's like to pick it up again after a break, so I know how you feel. 83 Take your sweet time, I'll just do my best to survive until then. ^__^

don't get your hopes up, she is very low on self esteem and seems to have given up on herself. it's quite unfortunate.

Aw, c'mon, HC. :D I'll never give up on this one... At least, I'll try. Besides, my self-esteem has been going up several levels already.

We'll keep encourage you to continue...it's really the least us readers can do. ^^ Happy to hear you gained a little in self-esteem. Believe me, once you start growing in it, it's much easier to gain more. All you gotta do is remember that there's a handful of people who stand behind you at every turn. ;)
