two happy-making events!

yay! on my last post i talked about depressing stuff, but not this time! first thing: im going to attempt to co-author a book with fred! she started it, sent it to me to read, i added some stuff to make it better, and now we have a good 19 pages! we are emailing it back and forth, each adding and editing every time we get it back. however, i also am going to try to bring back an idea of mine from awhile ago, and work on that if the fred novel falls through. fred came up with the idea, its about a guy who is immortal and is on this mission for his superiors, who he calls the heads. while studying human nature, he falls for one of the people he is examining and... we haven't gotten to far, but we have the basic plot and some ending ideas. i want the end to be her dying, and him having too choose between immortality and living with his fallen love for eternity, or death. he is a coward, and the epilogue is him choosing death. fred, on the other hand, wants to kill off the narrator, the immortal kid. she thinks we can pull off killing the narrator. i think she's being an idiot. you just cant kill the narrator, unless it is in the very beginning, like the lovely bones. only scenario where the narrator can die. she has consented to changing this ending, but will not kill emma, the girl. she also insists in making them all have no character flaws, which is a sign of weak writing in my opinion. she night consent to him being selfish and cowardly as long as it is directly vital to the plot. now im not as happy, because im reliving the huge argument we had about ending the book. tomorrow we will probably continue... oh well. at least i get to write.
