- Well here we go, the final week of NaNo and I'm only at 35k! Considering the official winning starts in 3 days, I've really gotta put my nose to the grindstone. I'm so close to finishing up, I can just taste it! Oh, and here's the excerpt in my novel that I posted on the site. It's probably my favorite scene to date!((Warning for Language and Blood)) “Get your ass over here Simon so I ...

- Well, you know that feeling you get when you've finally hit a breakthrough after running into a wall? I do, and I love that feeling. I guess I just had to be inspired to take this book to the next level. I completely rewrote the first big fight scene in my novel and I am so happy with it, wow. I really think it's possible that I'm going to hit 50k by the end of next week. Nine days ...

- You know that block that people tend to hit in week 2 of NaNo? I think I've finally been hit by it. I've barely written anything today and had to settle for just typing up some stuff in my notebook to improve my word count. My notebook is sitting there, calling to me, but I just feel so burnt out on this story. I could really use a pep talk or something...*Chuckles* Wish me luck, this ...

- All right, before I start this review let me note: my rants/reviews tend to go all over the place. With this, I will TRY to keep things concise, but no promises. For another, I have read Twilight cover to cover. Twice. No skimming, no skipping, but have actually read and absorbed the entire book. This review is for the first book. Not for the entire series. But there will be more reviews to come ...

- Well I decided to go home this weekend and while I haven't fallen behind too much, things are really creeping up on me. I've got to keep ahead on my hand-written stuff otherwise I won't have anything to type. But if I take too long typing, I won't have time to do my stuff in the notebook. Oi. I figured I could use a day and a half off. *Chuckles* The minute I got home I started ...

- Well I've been writing by hand non-stop for the past two days. Every spare moment has been dedicated to reaching 25,000 words by the 13th. I don't want to lose my momentum now, especially not since I've hit a breakthrough of inspiration. This is completely against my outline that I wrote for my NaNo novel but it's most definitely making it better. I'm taking a break from writing (about to ...

- This has part and parcel to do with my NaNo novel, Flame of Raven's Soul. I classified it as Young Adult Fiction because I wasn't sure if it was too juvenile for adults. After all, the main characters are in their teens and it's mostly set in a high school, dealing with the problems of teenagers. However, I also tackle issues that can tend to spark controversy: lesbianism, gay marriage, ...

- I guess this is the first entry I'll make into this blog. Although I prefer my Livejournal, I think this wouldn't be so bad either. *Smiles* What should I say about myself? My name is Laurine Bruder but everyone calls me Ree. I decided to use this to create an alternate name, R.E.E., for writing young adult/adult fantasy fiction. My works deal with topics that I and many of my friends ...
