Greetings Earthlings ( yeah I just watched the Star Trek movie-- how good was that? Awesome I say.)
A couple things today-- and I apologize for the long post-- I can get long winded...

Chasing the Dream was kind enough to tag me for a Meme-- basically (I'm guessing here) I answer some questions then tag a couple people. So my two peeps I'm tagging are--- *drum roll*

Random Thoughts of the Writerly KindOn with the questions--
1. What's the last thing you wrote? What's the first thing you wrote that you still have?Do you mean specifically? *goes and looks* “I don’t know what to believe anymore.” That was the last sentence I wrote in my NaNo story (it's not done yet.) First thing I wrote that I still have is an awful story from 8th grade English about mythology, I think. It's amazing how bad my handwriting was... Eeek.
2. Write poetry?I used to- Don't really a lot anymore, but that was the first type of writing I ever did. There's even a poem of mine buried in this blog somewhere (yeah I think I put it under poetry-- not so hard to find.)
3. Angsty poetry?Not anymore-- it used to be-- boy was it ever!
4. Favorite genre of writing.I love the paranormal, also I like some humor & action! I get bored easily, so literary fiction is sometimes lost on me.
5. Most annoying character you've ever created.Oh my first attempt at a novel I created a major Mary Sue- her friend was better, and that is why she remained in three of my other stories. For some reason I used to write the Secondary Characters better than the Protagonist. I've since learned to balance it better.
6. Best plot you've ever created?Best? Hmmm. I don't know if it's the best-- that's probably yet to come, but the NaNo novel has the best plot in my opinion--so far.
7. Coolest plot twist you've ever created?Same as #6.
8. How often do you get writer's block?A lot, but I play bejeweled and go lay in bed and something always comes to me. It only lasts a day or two. My mind is always generating new crap to write about-- yeah I mean crap too-- well most of it.
9. Write fan fiction?I haven't tried. I have nothing against it-- I've never read it either, but I am a huge Star Wars fan so I would probably read that.
10. Do you type or write by hand?LOL- Um. Type. My handwriting is atrocious. Really, you don't want to see it.
11. Do you save everything you write?Most-- there are some crappy half written drafts that are trapped in my old ibook. It's okay though-- they were beyond horrible-- remember #5? Yeah same one.
12. Do you ever go back to an idea after you abandoned it?Haven't yet, but I'm not opposed to it.
13. What's your favorite thing you've ever written?Favorite-- oh wow. Well I have some favorite scenes- one is in my attempt at a mystery novel. I still have a character trapped in there (secondary of course) that I need to resurrect in another novel. There's a couple scenes in the NaNo novel that I do love.
14. What's everyone else's favorite story that you've written?It's a bit too soon to tell. My sister enjoyed that mystery novel I was just talking about. I think it had potential but Mysteries are hard to pull off, as I've discovered. Someday I'll go back and finish it.
15. Ever written romance or angsty teen drama?My YA I wrote I wouldn't say is angsty- Maybe a little, drama- yes, humor- yes, romance- yes
16. What's your favorite setting for your characters?That's the last to come for me. Somewhere in the midwest is where my current one takes place- I go with what I know.
17. How many writing projects are you working on right now?Two are in the works. I'm going to have to choose which to edit, both first drafts are done. I need to add a lot to both though.
18. Have you ever won an award for your writing?Nope. I would need to submit something for that. I did just enter a YA contest for the title and first 250 words. I guess that means I should finish that one first. I'm hopeful, but I know it's a long shot. Hey-- why not?
19. What are your five favorite words.To write? inevitable, tirade, Purgatory (it's in the title of WIP), mortified and Woo Hoo (yeah that's two- but they go together and I write it A LOT.)
20. What character have you created that is most like yourself.They all have a little me in them, except they are braver, and much funnier because I'm not quite as quick witted in real life, almost...
21. Where do you get ideas for your characters?People I know, People I see on series on tv, read in books, listen to at work (mall)
22. Do you ever write based on your dreams?Not yet, they are too weird. But, I would if a coherent one came about. Oooo I like that word too- coherent (add that to the list)
23. Do you favor happy endings, sad endings, or cliff-hangers?Whichever works for the story. I'd like to always keep ya hangin' but I wouldn't like that as a reader. I think a nice combo of "what if," and "happy ending," should do the trick!
24. Are you concerned with spelling and grammar as you write?Yes, unfortunetely.
25. Does music help you write?YES! I don't ever write without my itunes. As I spoke of in a previous post-- I love the Genius button on itunes.
26. Quote something you've written. Whatever pops into your head."My parents believe your name should have meaning. They tell me that's why they named me Snow. My brother Lennon was born the same day as the guy that was in the Beatles. I was just happy I wasn’t born on Yoko Ono’s birthday."
Onto the awesome contest!!

Ramblings of a Wannabe Scribe is having an awesome contest where you could win a signed copy of Twilight! I was a fan of the book, so I entered. You can enter too!
Well that's all for me. Hope everyone is having a nice week so far. My cold is on sabbatical and I hope it doesn't return! I haven't written since Saturday-- and it's been a nice break. Will start editing one of the WIP's tomorrow.
Have you done a Meme before? If so link it in the comments. I'd love to take a look! Also, who has seen Star Trek-- the new one? Did you like it?
Enjoy your day!
Hi Everyone :o)
