Best Friends means you pull the trigger

50550 words, and what? 3 years later this story is finished!!

Songs for the epilogue and Title song.

Happy dance!!

I finished, I finishes, I I finished, I finished

Last chapter to Best Friends means you pull the Trigger is finished!!

22chp long, and an epilogue. I'm so happy to be done with it!!

Here are some "ending of BF" song previews

They are decidedly not my typical music choice. I guess it shows the roller-coaster writing this story has put me through.

Best Friend Means you pull the Triger, there is an ending at sight!

Chp. 22 of BF is at 1587 words. I'm at a point where I could call this chp finished, not just based on the word # but the point of "they arrived", they've had their moment. However, I  think the climax will be in the next half and with out it the chp won't be as entertaining and with it the story will be DONE. This will be the difficult part to write and if I call this chp done. I will use this as an excuse to take a bit longer on 23.t

I'm not sure what I'll do, but know that repost of 21 should be soon (waiting on Beta) and 22 should also be around next week (also waiting on beta).

Little something about the Epilogue

Off to the beta it goes!

Believe it or not chps. 20 and 21 of BF was just emailed to my wonderful beta. Will post as soon as I have them back. :)

Quick update about 200 words done on chp. 23 of BF.  :) Could this story be finished before 2012?

TBC Soundtrack

Trying to finish this story but as always I'm having a bit of a hard time. A lot of music is mentioned on TBC and I'd figure I share with you music that helps inspire the story. Music that the band members would enjoy, etc.

I'm sorry. I've re discovered T.V and fallen into major writers block. I'll be back...I hope

Meet the Black Choir

I started this story about a century ago and I used to post it on FP.com. Then what usually happens happened and I got stuck. Now, I was trying to get into writing again (I'm trying to work on DCFR), and was just reading this story.

Gerald at Sea

Here is a wonderful drawing that Magalina made for me back in 2007! Wow how long have I been working on BF and it's still not done!
I know updating has slowed down again, but I've gone overachiever on my own ass and decided to take more than 12 credits this semester + two jobs :| So I apologize for not updating but I hope your enjoying the "Sing" and Magalina's picture

Grant

The last chapter to my short story "Grant" or "How Grant found out he wasn't as straight as he thought" was posted today.

This short story was written several years ago as a fanfic, as a complement piece to a longer story. I did some editing to it, changed names, and tried to keep it as far from the fandom as I could with out changing the story. In reality I believe it was A/U enough to require mostly only some name changes.

I like my Grant story, I like the tone and pace of it. It is far from perfect and it perhaps would need a bit more editing, if it were to ever be a "professionally published" work. However, it was never meant to be that. It was meant to be a bit of fun, a challenge, a chance to play with a side character I became attached to and that couldn't grow or show all of it's colors in the main story.

Now, I received a review, that relates the story felt rushed because of the time jumps. I couldn't agree more with the reviewer and I love the fact that she actually gave me some type of con-crit. And I started thinking about the story.

I have to mention, this short story (four chapters long, about 15,000+ words) is about Grant from age 12-13 to age 22-23. How can I avoid time jumps, and the "rushed" feeling and keep it a short story. It seems to me almost impossible! The story has to focus on important points of his life, and move on quickly or it would be a very long story.

I could probably rework the ending, make that fourth chapter into four and five. Give it a bit more depth, but then I'd have to go into Dustin's story, and Dustin already has 20+ chp story.

The point that brings Grant to Nikey is made, I think subtle and then brutal, but made. One day I'll revisit this story and try to work this out. How do you fit 12 years of a persons life in a short story?
