RTW -- Character FML

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! We interrupt this regularly scheduled RTW for a special news bulletin! USA WON THEIR GAME AGAINST ALGERIA!!!!! (Yes, I realize I'm late. I was gone all morning, missed the game, and didn't find out about it I got back at four.) It was tied up 0-0 until the 91st minute when USA scored the incredible game-winning goal. Which means we won Group C and it's the first time we've won our group since 1930!!!!!!!!! *fireworks* We shall return now to our regularly scheduled programming.

I wasn't going to do this week's RTW. But then I read everyone's entries and then I started getting ideas and I couldn't not do it. So here I am.

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.

This week's question:
If your favorite characters submitted to F My Life, what would they write?

****Advance Warning! My FML's are full of spoilers. (Sorry)
There's Deathly Hallows, City of Bones, City of Glass, 2012 (the movie), Princess Bride, and Gone (Lisa McMann). There will be pictures of the cover before each one. *****
Gordon:Today, I survived California falling into the sea, Yellowstone exploding, crash-landing a plane in what should have been the Pacific but was in fact the Himalayas where we were going (that was convenient), and sneaking into the multi-zillion dollar arks that the government's been secretly building only to be killed by the gears because we were too freaking impatient to wait outside and get in with everyone else. FML

Wesley:
Today, my true love's fiance killed me and then I woke unable to move a muscle (except apparently the ones from the throat up because I can still talk and whatnot) expected to storm a castle guarded by many men with only me and two other guys so that we could get inside and stop the wedding. FML

Harry Potter, Deathly Hallows:
Today, after fighting the evil bastard for half my life, I'm now expected to lay down and just let him kill me. FML

Jace, City of Bones:Today, I found out the girl I love is, in fact, my sister. FML

Jace, City of Glass:
Today, I discovered that not only did my insane father imprison and torture an angel, but he also performed experiments on me and I'm a part-demon Shadowhunter. Ironic. FML

Janie:Today, I found out that my dad isn't missing or dead, he's lying in the hospital in a coma with a permanent expression of extreme pain on his face and a messed up dream playing itself over and over in his head. FML

Today, I found out that either I can let the whole dreamcatcher thing happen, watch my hands become very gnarled, and slowly go blind OR I can shut myself off from the world including Cabel and develop a slowly worsening migraine that causes my brain to practically melt. FML

Wow. You just summed up all of the Harry Potter series in one sentence. That's pretty awesome.

RTW: First Quarter Check-In

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week:  Quarterly check-ins! We're already 1/4 of the way through the year--where are you on your reading and writing goals? Where did the time go??  Reading Goal: 100 books  Where I should be: About 16 Where I am: 5  Clearly it is not going very well. In my defense, I did finish up A Clash of Kings in January and read A Storm of Swords in February. I'm hoping to do some catch up reading over spring break and then really get trucking when summer rolls around. I'm probably getting A Feast for Crows this week, though, so we'll see how long that lasts.  Writing I didn't set any writing goals for this year, other than just to keep writing. My writing kind of dropped off last sem...

RTW -- Picking Titles

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week's Topic: How do you pick your titles? I don't really have a secret for picking titles. Basically my method is to wait until something pops into my head that sounds good to me. Sometimes that title might not even really fit the book or feel exactly right, but to me it's just a working title until I think of something better. Burning Bridges was the first thing to pop into my head when I started the first draft and needed something to name the folder. I don't know why it popped into my head because I don't really see a connection between the book and the title, but it's stuck through every one of the three drafts. Lately I've been toying with the idea of changing it to Once Bitten, Twi...

Monday Updates: July 29

This is my last Monday Updates post. As of next Monday, I'm going to start up my college tips weekly blog on Mondays, since it's almost the school year.  Song of the Week: Here's to Us by Halestorm How's Life? Well, there are only two days left in July and I'm still trying to figure out where the rest of my summer went. Seriously, it can't almost be August, can it? How's TV?  Watched the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Friday. There was a point in the middle where I wanted to just stop because I didn't want the series to end. It was a fantastic finale, definitely one of my favorites. Now I'm trying to decide which on my long list should I watch next. Silver Linings Playbook is an amazing movie. I already knew Jennifer Lawrence was a fantastic actress but she still managed to surprise me. Taken 2 isn't nearly as good as the first one, but it's a decent movie overall.  How's Reading? Books read: 0 I'm no...
