jebbypalOkay....so Maryland had snow today. And Brian went home to Baltimore for the weekend. He expected his dad would throw him out of the house early today due to weather. And he told me friday he'd call so I'd know he got back here to philly safe. So now it is 9:30 pm and I haven't heard from him since 5pm Friday. Worry much?? Have called him 3 x but he's either not getting reception or has phone off. I texted him in case he's still at his house since he doesn't get reception there. I dont' want to call his parents and worry them though in case he's left. He'd kill me if I did that. So yeah....getting a teensy bit worried here. so if you see a short muscular white guy w/ dark hair standing by a wrecked black Mitsuibishi Mirage somewhere between Baltimore and Philly...give me a a wave please!!!
Okay, to distract myself, I will list the things I worry about in my writing for those who may ever want to give me constructive feedback.
1) Okay, I know I suck sometimes on verb tenses. I generally figure that if it sounds fine, it's right. But I know this doesn't always apply. So if you see a prob, tell me (except for my firehigh xover....I know I have a shitload of mistakes coming from that being the story I had trouble figuring out how to get pictures in my head into words on the computer screen).
2) Umm...so no....I don't pay attention to details. So if you catch me having Mal call Simon "simon", and you know for a fact he only calls him "doctor/son/boy" tell me. Same for other characters.
3) Plot Pacing -- I really worry that I give away the plot too soon sometimes. I mean, I try to do suspense and such, but well, maybe I do give it away too soon. Dunno how to explain that any better.
ETA 4) How to deal with a name in a sentence. Okay, so I know that technically it should be set off by commas. Does this always apply? Cause sometimes when I hear it in my head, I don't hear a pause as is implied by a comma -- such as an order. Hmmm...
BTW, what the hell does ETA stand for. I've been trying to figure it out for weeks now and it's going over my blonde little head. Thanks.
Umm...that's all I can think of for now. Flist, feel free to distract me from my worry assuming my internet cooperates...it's acting wonky again tonite right when I need it not to!
