Yeah, I started Milwordy before I heard of WriYe, so I'm just posting my progress on both. :-) I'm going for 250k on WriYe.
XD Yikes! Maybe I'll just steer clear of Amsterdam, then! :-)
Ha ha, if I was able to do math, I wouldn't be a writer! xD

Hihi yeah! If you want to visit Holland just contact me and I'll take you to the best city there is I actually graduated high school in the highest level of math, biology, physics and chemistry whaha ^_^ But I decided to try something new (well actually I've been writting since I was a kid, but I'm dyslectic as well, so in school I was way better in those subjects)

Aaaah, okay. Yeah, I am not good at math, but that's more because the way they teach it here...they kind of don't teach it very well, at least for me. I have to have someone sit down and explain it to me like they would a kindergartener, but once I understand it, I can make leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, I suck at algebra too much to make much progress.
Despite that, I'm actually kind of both left and right brained. I'm a writer, and I like drawing, but I am actually a Software Engineering major. I tend to think extremely logically...and literally. XD

I'm both as well I think. Though I'm never sure what I am, I've got ADHD and I just seem to do everything ^_^

Haha :-) I don't have ADHD, but...my mind is...a crazy place. I have an inability to grasp social cues because I think extremely literally...but yet, I perceive the world in an artistic way too. It's ridiculous! XD
...and when I'm sleep-deprived, it leads to rainbow-colored unicorns prancing through my novels XD

Social cues? What's that? Hahaha I have the tendency to say everything I think of, and I mean really everything ^_^
Rainbow colored unicorns!!! <3 <3

XD Yes! I have absolutely no tact. I am guaranteed to say the wrong thing at the wrong time when I would best have kept my mouth shut. Social cues? This is me:
My aunt: "Oh, so you do art on your iPad, right?" Me: "Yes, sometimes." *general discussion about drawing, goes about business*
A Day Later: My aunt: "I asked her to show it to me a whole day ago, but she never did." Me: *entirely serious* "What? We talked about drawing, but you never asked to see it!" My aunt: *facepalm* "What did you think I meant?"
XD
Oh, and as for rainbow colored unicorns, that's not even the worst.
Note to self: Do NOT listen to Metallica while writing sad scenes, otherwise I will end up with the puny human main character horsewhipping a sea serpent using a giant octopus as a weapon, and then defeating Moby Dick with a trident made of seaweed, and riding him to shore safely...when in fact, the puny human really should be drowning alone in the middle of the ocean.
True story.

Haha I love your discussion with your aunt! And "Tact is just a way of not telling the truth. I'll pass." Not sure which of my tv shows it was in ones, but I loved it!
People can't tell my I'm never honest, even though they rather wouldn't have heard it ^_^

Yeah, she really couldn't believe that anyone could have such a literal mind. xD
I have never seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer. =P But that's a true quote, nonetheless! :-D

Oh I loved it so much when I was a teenager. Buffy had all the drama of an ordinary teenage girl and -oh yeah- she fought vampires and demons at night. AND THEY DON'T GLITTER IN THE SUN. THEY BURN! Haha, still love to watch it though, tend to have a Buffy marathon like every summer ^_^ But there are really true quotes and some nice humour in it as well!

Nice! :-) I've heard of the show, but I've just never seen it. I have an obsessive mentality where I have to watch everything from the very beginning. I cannot...CANNOT...watch a movie or a TV series from the middle. xD Of course, when it aired, there were no DVRs, or Netflix, or Hulu, so if I missed stuff on TV, I missed it. I missed a lot of stuff that way...=P I always used to refuse to rearrange my personal schedule to watch TV. XD

I loved watching Buffy and later the spin-off show Angel. *drool* I was in my 30s when they first aired, I think. Yes, I'm an old lady. LOL Anyway, I want to get them all on DVD.
I also prefer to watch a series in order. It bugs me to suddenly get hooked on a TV series that's in their third or fourth season. That's what happened when I first discovered Buffy. Then I kept watching all the other channels hoping to watch the first season.
Of course, I saw the movie first. Loved PeeWee's death scene at the end of that one. ROFLOL

Even though I know this isn't really a Buffy thread...
Buffy was awesome, although one thing really disappointed me: Angel got FAT! That's really not fair, because he was kind of hot in the first few seasons of Buffy and by the end of Angel he was so un-hot that they stopped showing him shirtless.

I've got all the DVD's. The Buffy ones at least. Angel was nice, but can't watch them over and over like Buffy.
And true. In the end Angel wasn't the irresistable hunk he was in the first seasons of Buffy. Angel wasn't suposed to age! -_- Spike didn't age, he was still hot in the end! <3
