Reanna: I Wonder If Le Prince And Disney Will Be Our First Novel. So Far, Our Stories Have Been Shorter.
Reanna: I wonder if Le Prince and Disney will be our first novel. So far, our stories have been shorter.
Carnival is a novella, and so was Nightingale. (I pulled that one from publication.) The Murder After is a chapbook, and The Year After seems to be going in a similar direction. (At least people read romance novellas.)
Now, for Le Prince and Disney, we have the dark ride's sections planned: Three Precursors and the First Film, Animals, Animation, Trick Films, and Phantom Rides. That's five chapters. And they have a few films in them. There will also be five chapters that Terrance categorized as being outside the ride. So, that's ten chapters in all.
After the story, we'll list the films used. That might take a few pages. What if all these pages come together and make a novel?

F.M.: I told Reanna our midterm for recreation class was due on the 15th, which is the 14th at 11:59 PM in Arizona. (We live in Colorado.) It was actually due on the 13th. Now, it's my job to finish the assignment. At least we weren't kicked out.
Update: We did it! Now, we can feel stupid for thinking it was due today!
Reanna: Sometimes, plural writer culture is being the headmate everyone takes traits from for their characters.
Mary: We toy with the idea of publishing our system journals, so people can know us better. Sometimes, I wonder if they'd sell better than our stories. F.M. says we could do it when we're forty.
Reanna: Although we're secular, we like giving up something for Lent. We decided to give up Tumblr and taking baths. (Baths use a lot of water, and our main purpose for taking them isn't cleaning.) That means we won't be on Tumblr again until Easter.
But today is Mardi Gras, a day of indulgence. So, we're going to take a bath, paint our nails, come back here, and like a bunch of cemetery pictures! No doom-scrolling today!
We hope you enjoy your Mardi Gras and that your Lenten sacrifice is worth it.
Terrance (to others): They say a watched pot never boils, but they never said anything about a saucepan.
SL: Over the weekend, I tried turning our print books into ebooks, but the KPF file wouldn't process. I thought a print replica would be the best way to preserve our fonts.
How can I do that if the file won't process?
SL: I've thought about putting The Muder After and The Year After as one book because of how short the first one is. Except they're different genres. One is a mystery/dramadey, and the other is a romantic dramadey. So, I don't think it would have worked.
But I might have a solution: make The Year After a second volume instead of a proper sequel. It makes it a continuation of the story without combining anything. I just need to start from chapter eight. That won't be hard because all it requires is changing the chapter names. (I write a chapter twice then type. That's how Reanna and the other headmates treated Carnival.)
Reanna: I made three posts about my anxiety, but I decided to delete them. This should be more private. Sharing in detail was probably making it worse. I thought it would help, but it didn't.
I am feeling better now. Have a good day!
SL: I never said why I tagged dialogue in Terrance's story in sketch format. (Link to the preview for The Murder After if you're confused.) I wrote it in the second person, so the tags make it easier to know who's talking. As you can see, Terrance is never tagged with his name.
