Long ago, when I would show pages of my novel to Natasha I came upon the realization that what I was writing will only be truly appreciated by teenage girls, sensitive boys and the young at heart. Granted, that's true of all sorts of books... but mine also had the power to make girls giddy. Natasha was proof of this. Even Meagan was proof of this.
Not wanting to call the book an outright Young Adult novel, I created my own genre... Emo-Lit. Am I proud of that genre title? Eh.
But it fits.
Last night's writing burst with the emo of a thousand Dashboard Confessional songs... I actually still like Dashboard Confessional and so this is not a slam at myself, it may just be a compliment.
Also last night...
The title was actually written into the text.
I wrote a sentence that was 70 words long.
I did not finish out the chapter as planned. (tomorrow!)
Today we got our Roly Poly. Today we got our Roly Poly.
Snow Patrol. Go buy Snow Patrol's new CD.
