Not only did I not get a chance to enter the fanfiction contest on the "Hey Arnold Jungle Movie Group" on Facebook, I also didn't have enough time to finish my Valentine's day story by Valentine's Day.
I finished it and posted it last night. It's a new story, called "Stories from the Winds of Hillwood". Basically, unlike KLIYH, this story is not going to be about the same thing chapter to chapter. Every chapter is supposed to focus on a new romantic pairing, the first chapter focusing on the GeraldxPhoebe ship. The first chapter (even though it isn't shown on FF.net) is called "Walking in a Winter Wonderland". If you haven't done so, and are curious, go ahead and read and review :)
I've also received my stuff back from Lyco (the OB&H excerpt, as well as the Soldier Story) and found out, via her blog, that she is debating showing it to her mother. When I found that out, I was shocked.
I mean, I know she loves the story a lot and told me that she found it moving, but I didn't think she had been debating showing it to her mom! When I read that, it gave me more confidence in that story. Like it was worthy of showing people who don't already read my work and that's just a huge deal for me. Whether or not she does show it to her mom, the fact that she thought about it means a lot to me.
So I've got my work cut out for me. Hopefully, I can stop procrastinating so much and just finish everything I've been given to edit soon.
We'll see!
