I did that when I got my puppy too. She wouldn't sleep so I stayed up all night with her.

Thanks Evelynn!

I've been experimenting with a limited 3rd person POV in this fic so far... everything described is what Max could see or hear, or what Max himself was thinking. Not sure if I'm going to go through the entire story that way, (since that'd keep me from showing much of alex/isabel or michael/maria alone time,) but it's an interesting way to approach the project as a whole.
Read my other roswell stories!

It's a natural starting point for any work of fiction so someone just coming in and reading it wouldn't feel completely lost as they go through. And I definately plan to keep it that way.

AWWW! That's the fic that I'm writing! :o

lol.... Somehow I think it's going to be ok, that's a starting point that can go in so many direction I doubt we have the same plot in mind. ;)

If you're interested I've got my teaser posted at my nano page

I hear ya Lazza :(. Plus I go home this weekend so don't see much writing getting done then either... I'm thinking this is going to be a major uphill struggle *sigh* not to mention the fact that I don't know what to write...a fanfiction is again looking very appealing right now lol.

Just to wish you guys good luck and great inspiration for this upcoming month!!!

I'm not writing a nano novel just because the sole idea of writing six pages a day makes my heart skip a beat and my anxiousness levels go sky high, but I'm certainly encouraging anyone who has the skill :D Heck, I'm glad when I can write six pages a week! :shock:

GOOD LUCK!!!
