Ahhhhhhh!!!  Do you

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Ahhhhhhh!!!  Do you

Ahhhhhhh!!!  Do you ever have this fantastic idea (or you're just telling a story) and you forget this big detail??!! I got that today (not the only time so far in my 10 years) when I was telling a story to my mom and there was this girl and I could not come up with her name!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh!!! All I knew was that it started with a K.  I finally figured out what it was but, (once again) AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!  OK, just had to get that out. :) 

 

Hey, this is completely (sp?) random, but did you know that if you hit Ctrl + - it makes the screen get smaller, and to make it bigger you can hit Ctrl + =!!?? Amazing (i found this out on accident) !!!

Well, I'm pretty good at remembering names

and things like that, but I have wrote stories

where I forget to put in a major detail in the

story. Like something the characters are supposed

to do but I forget to put in... Then you have to

go back and change it and ugh! That is pretty

annoying, expecially when you remember much

later on in the story.

Hee hee, the screen thing is cool.

 

I know exactly what you mean, Megan. You see, half the time I write a story, I have the majority of it planned out in my head before I write, so I'll think I've written a scene when I really haven't!

Yeah, I know what you mean. Once I actually forgot I had one character, because at the time I only had it planned in my head--well, actually, it was a picture I drew with all the main characters, and I lost the paper. I was trying for months to visualize what the picture looked like! I eventually stuck the character in, but I have yet to find the picture. (It was on the back of a sudoku I printed out, and might *sob* have been thrown out). Sometimes I plan EVERYTHING, and other times I'm just going along without a plan in my head (often all in the same book).

The screen thing works for me if I hold control and scroll with the mouse. It really confused me once because the website for our co-op was so small I couldn't read the assignment...
