Wow, it's been at least half a year since I've been on my account. I've received so many positive comments and requests for my work to be in groups, and this makes me very happy!
I've changed a lot since last summer: I've lost weight, I look better, I am enjoying my life more, I have a boyfriend (5 months!
), so many friends in all four of the high school grades, better music taste, and let's not forget that my writing skills have (hopefully) gotten better! Still getting A's on my essays, so that's good.
I think I might just make this a summertime account only, as I have more time during the summer. I really do miss writing. I think I'll start taking requests again now, too, as I plan to be on my dA more often now.
Same rules follow for requests, and I will link to the requests once I have a chance to look through my old journal entries.
There is just one thing I want to add to requests. This summer, instead of taking practically weeks to get out one chapter, I'll do a request a week (or less, depending on how much time I have to write). This means that if you are going to request a story with more than one chapter, it CANNOT have more than seven chapters at most. You will also need to specify how long you would want each of these chapters to be, or leave it up to my interpretation. For example, if you request seven chapters, they will be short and not very lengthy. If yo request three, I'll make them normal length, or if you want, I can make them longer.
This is mainly going to be because I am very busy now, much more than I was last year in middle school. I have to take driver's ed, do service hours, go on a few trips, as well as get together with my friends and boyfriend (probably very frequently).
If I am going to be away for a majority of a week or the whole week, I will post a journal entry, so that you may know that all requests will be pushed back a week.
This is also going to work as a bit of a first come, first serve kind of deal. I will open requests by the month. If I finish several stories earlier than planned, I might include a few other requests.
And, for those who made requests last summer that I never finished/did, if you still wish for me to write/finish them, you get first dibs!
All of this also ends once summer is over.
So that's it for today's journal! You may begin requesting stories and one shots starting today, but I will not begin working on them until summer begins.
I look forward to writing to all of you and learning how all of you have been while I was gone! I'm curious as to what you, my followers or not followers, have been up to, so please go ahead and post a comment with how you've been!
I'm curious!
That's it for today, so I hope to talk to you all later and read your comments!
Arrivederci,
~Karina.
