I was laughing so hard coffee came out of my nose. <br /><br />I'll look into planet stuff. Love the Hawaii idea. <br /><br />Sorry to disappoint BUT HPPG is a girl. Its her alter-ego and since she's quit the party life her feedback is from hear-say and past experience. She also uses it as an outlet to give teens some very important messages (I know - yuck to the life lessons)<br /><br />BTW - My book deal has been announced on PMP as of Wednesday, June 23rd. And its not for this book *sigh* so I don't know when I'll be able to finish this project but I hope to someday! <br /><br />Thanks again for the GREAT and super funny comments!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004818838544105847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-243034793560474342010-06-26T19:47:20.214-04:002010-06-26T19:47:20.214-04:00Thanks!

(I also liked Locke, Demosthenes, Undercover Boss, What Would You Do?, and [on a more serious note] the White Rose, so my liking this idea should be no surprise.)<br /><br />I'm getting on the bandwagon here: the narrator really should be a guy. It'd be fun!<br /><br />I like EE's condensation. Cutting the overdone parts of the analogy frees you up for more important parts of the action, like making a smart-alecky remark about somebody else's planet.<br /><br />The guy who quoted to her strikes me as a little strange. I know a lot of guys who'd turn her down for the same reasons, but my general estimation of them is that they'd give you the short version--"I don't believe in sex outside of marriage"--and then leave you alone unless you asked for further explanation. There are undoubtedly some who would give you the whole lecture, but my feeling about both sorts of guys is that they'd shy away from the situations that would get them to first base.<br /><br />Unless drunkenness brings out the hypocrisy in some people. For me, I've known more celibates than drunks, and haven't much seen an overlap.<br /><br />And honestly, most of that detailed critique is because, with the planets bit under control, I can't find much to help with and feel like I'm shortchanging you if my comment is too short and vague._*rachel*_https://www.blogger.com/profile/03293167107180931700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-69176198697532601802010-06-25T00:53:52.051-04:002010-06-25T00:53:52.051-04:00This has a great voice.

I felt my cheeks burning almost as red as his were.<br /><br />Chet turned to me and waved. "Hey, Coach, see you on the field!"<br /><br />I coughed and shuffled away to the staff room. This year I was headed to planet "you're so fired!" for sure.<br /><br />--anon.<br /><br /><br />So you’re like, WTF, when you wake in the middle of the night with an incredible itchy spot on your va-jay-jay, which by the way is so not cool, called herpes, because you felt the need to play with- like- over thirty little firemen. And they were so not worth it, because their hoses always dribbled dry way before the fire was put out… if ya know what I mean, girls.<br /><br />And then you’re like, STFU, when you realize your grade point plummeted from 3.5 to 1.6 in just a year’s time. So you’re like totally faced with the reality you may be asking, "Would you like to Super Size that for just 69 cents?" for the rest of your life.<br /><br />--Angie<br /><br /><br />Now I was trying to stretch things out, to get everyone interested so they'd keep reading when I switched gears in a few weeks.<br /><br />"Whatcha workin' on, Bob?"<br /><br />It was Cassie, peering over my shoulder. "Just catching up with my prayer group, Cassie," I said. "We're all praying extra hard this week because this one girl in the group, her mom just got diagnosed with..."<br /><br />"I know your little secret, 'Party Girl'," Cassie whispered in my ear. I knew that kind of whisper from back before I got saved. I clutched my backpack tighter.<br /><br />"If you really want to get their souls," she said, "you'll need some juicier news than that." She bared a pair of vampire fangs. "Meet me after school, and I'll teach you about hot and pink."<br /><br />Boy, talk about your theological dilemmas.<br /><br />--John<br /><br /><br />OMG. Maybe that bible beater wasn’t completely out of touch with reality after all. IDK. TTUL.<br /><br />--Angie<br /><br /><br />I'd had a crazy summer. The first annual Blogging Camp in the Smoky Mountains had been amazing. Cake Wrecks, I Can Has Cheezburger, Stuff White People Like ... all the big-name bloggers with book deals were there. I wanted in on the money.<br /><br />I risked opening my laptop for a peek. Seven comments already: three claiming "first!", two calling me a slut, one guy's picture of his wiener, and a spam ad for biblical scripture online. Maybe a high school blog wasn't going to be the path to fame and fortune after all.<br /><br />--EllieEvil Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879826770199639420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-58685801323723761842010-06-24T10:00:07.852-04:002010-06-24T10:00:07.852-04:00It would be cool if HPPG turned out to be a guy, a...It would be cool if HPPG turned out to be a guy, and we can't tell yet. If it isn't a guy, you might work that into paragraph 3 or 4. <br /><br />P3 presents the solar system analogy and then explains it. The purpose of an analogy is to explain something in terms that are more interesting or picturesque; if you have to explain the analogy, maybe you don't need it.<br /><br />I don't know if anyone will care or even notice, considering the narrator is a high school sophomore, but the analogy to the solar system isn't accurate. It implies that there are a number of planets (cliques?) and everyone's stuck on one of them. But in the solar system everyone's stuck on the same planet. Also, p3 says we're stuck on one planet. P4 implies in s3 that one can leave one's planet, and in s1 implies that the narrator <i>did</i> leave her planet at the end of last year.<br /><br />High school is like Hawaii. Everyone's on one of the islands and no one has a boat. That's more accurate, but doesn't sound as teenish. Unless the story's set in Hawaii, in which case it would work great.<br /><br />Working with the solar system analogy, I would combine p3 & 4 into:<br /><br />High school is like a solar system. <br />Until the end of last year I belonged to planet "I'd rather be drunk or high than in school." (The great thing about that planet is you sweep blissfully through all the angst of teen years.) <br /><br /><br />Then add something that applies to your story, which might be: Then I decided to move to planet "I'm making all A's and getting into Harvard." Except, it turns out building a spaceship isn't as easy as it sounds.Evil Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879826770199639420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-52539493883244556122010-06-24T09:25:30.396-04:002010-06-24T09:25:30.396-04:00That's my kind of continuation!
