Greetings!
I do not have much time, but I'm at the library and just had to drop in for a few moments and say hi to everybody!
How has everyone been doing?
How's the writing coming?
How is the YCF?
Tell Me!
Things have gone well for me so far. I got to take the best Myrtle Beach vacation ever with my mom and brother...so much fun! I am nearing 300 pages in my book and shall be done soon, I think...my story has been taking several wild, unexpected twists on me, so I'm pretty much just going with the flow.
I will be leaving on Sunday, the 6th of July to go to UVA for a twelve day camp---I have never been away from home for that long and will not know anyone there. Pray that I will be a good Christian example for the people I meet as it is not a Christian camp.
Write On! Never Alone!
Love in Christ,
Shelby Marie
About Me
- Shelby Marie
- My name is Shelby Marie. I am first and foremost a believer in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and I just want to put it out there that I probably wouldn't be alive right now if it weren't for Him. I am also a teen writer. I have one completed novel, which is in the midst of the editing process, a trilogy in progress, and another standalone novel in progress, amongst millions of scraps of poetry. My first inspiration to write was The Door Within Trilogy...if you haven't read it, you should! It's an amazing story! And you never know, something like that might inspire you too.

Shelby! Hey, glad to hear from you! Oh, I like Q&A's!
1. I'm doing excellently, thank you. You?
2. Well, I'm doing some major outlining and some overhauling of old ideas.
3. YCF is awesomeness...:)
How was Myrtle Beach? I've been there before, I think, but then again, that usually doesn't get me too far, lol.
300!!?!!? Are you serious? That is awesomeness. How long have you been working on it? What's it called? I'm curious! (I found out that curiosity is like the 2nd most powerful human emotion.)

P.S. I tagged you!

Hey Shelby!
1. I am decently decent, at least as far as decency goes.
2. A decision on whether or not my book is going to be one book with three parts or three shorter books. I finished the part 1 at page 121, so I'll probably just keep it as 1 book, but we'll see.
3. Hey Araken, don't we have nearly 20 members?
300 pages is pretty awesome, Shelby! However, I have a feeling for me that it will still be a good year (at least!) before I get that far.

Also, I wanted to add, how many words is your 300 page book?
Okay...-takes deep breath-
Araken, I am doing very well,thanks.
Good luck with the outlining...I can't stand to do it myself and tend to just go from scratch...
Yes, YCF is awesomeness!!!
Myrtle Beach was amazing---got to go to this dinner show called Medieval Times and watch a jousting tournament (needless to say, my favorite part of the whole trip!)
I have been working on said book for about a year and 3 or 4 months...its title is still tentative, surprisingly...
So, does that quell your curiosity?
Write On!!!
Shelby Marie
Elliot, glad to hear from you. My book,to answer your question, is about 70,000 words and will probably be around 80,000 when I complete it.
Oh, and don't let the fact that it may take you another year to reach 300 words daunt you. Every word is an adventure. Enjoy every second of it!
If no one else sees this, tell everybody I said Hi!
Write On!!!
Shelby Marie

300 pages? I wish I was ANYWHERE near that mark! lol
Glad to hear you're having a good summer.
Hey guys,
I have but a brief moment, but I just wanted to say hi to everyone and all...
And, I know I've said this a million times, but I really will get Internet eventually...We have run into several unexpected things such as the fact that we may not be able to keep our house that have prohibited us from getting it back before now. And believe me, it's killing me, not being able to talk to you guys, or e-mail anyone, or perform my duties on the forum...
Just pray we can get it back as quickly as possible.
Write On!!!
Shelby Marie
