The hardest part...
People always ask me what the hardest part of writing a novel is, to which I always reply:
THE PART I'M DOING RIGHT NOW!
Enough said.
Back to the grindstone!

omg yay i'm the FIRST to comment...hahahaha everyone...kidding...but i am first i think....anyways yea i know ally every part of a book is hard to write but you'll be able to make it you're almost there....however it turns out, i will still love it...oh and i hope JOSH appears alot in gg3 and i hope he turns out 2 be Cam's boyfriend:)
im so sorry ur having a hard time. i hope u get it over w/ as easy as possible
awww. :\ hang in there ally! the more you work, the faster it is done and over with, and the happier you ad your GG fans are. :D
Lol that is wisdom right there. You are so right, as usual. Mmm...But I think I'll love GG3 too though I like Zach better than Josh...
Omg this reminds me of something my dad says, that the most important airplane is the one you're flying. (He's a pilot.) Haha such similar things for such different professions.
I hope it gets easier!

PS- I asked my librarian about that book you recommended, and she said it looks really good, so she is going to order it!
Awww...Poor Ally. I hope it gets easier. Maybe this will help: you have a ton of fans who are absolutely dying waiting in anticipation to read your books. Keep up the super and spectacular work!
:)
you sound like you might be in the middle of that horrible line edit..either way, it's editing right? i'm not a big fan of editing...at least nit-picky editing...
hope you get out of it soon!! it'll all be totally worth in the end!! ^_^

Ally,
You're in the editing/rewriting process right now right? If you are, yeah that doesn't sound too fun. Just remember that you like to write and it is fun!

Hey Ally,
You know what always helps me? Chocolate. It's always my friend when I'm doing a 2nd draft. :)

Well then, to be fair to optimisim, whats the best part about writing a really cool, awesome novel?
Of all people, Ally, you should know that....since you have written TWO really cool, awesome novels.
~Beat ya, alli-wa!
Poor Ally,
Sorry, that things aren't too easy. But look on the bright side, you probably had the same thing with GG1 and GG2 and look at them now. They come out the best! So to paraphrase Dr.Leo Marvin from the movie "What About BoB?" "BOB-Baby Steps.
DR. MARVIN- It means setting small, reasonable goals for yourself. One day at a time, one tiny step at a time -- doable, accomplishable goals.
BOB-Baby steps.
DR. MARVIN-When you leave this office, don't think about everything you have to do to get out of the building, just deal with getting out of the room. When you reach the hall, just deal with the hall. And so forth. Baby steps.
BOB- Baby step... through the office.
BOB -Baby step... out the door.
(Bob opens the door and pops back in.)
BOB-It works!"
Hope It Helps!!!!
Btw, I hope Josh is over with and Zach pulls through.
I hope this all gets easier for you and you come out with a wonderful finished product when it is ready!!!1
you can do it! and i know i'll love the book anyway, no matter what happens!
and btw, i am a Zach fan, but i like Josh too!
Think of it this way -
We push through the bad times to make it to the good times, right?
Come on Ally, you can do it!
Really - you rock...
Think about it this way, you don't have math hw to do anymore. And your books - at least their in english, not math, right? Think about it, you UNDERSTAND what you have to do, and even get PAID for it! So come on - you can do it!
HOPE IT GETS A LOT BETTER SOON
Sorry ally! im sure it will get better.

P.S i agree with whoever said that chocolate helps. i dont write much, but hello people! its CHOCOLATE! it has to help! lol!
wow, how are we supposed to figure THAT one out? Are you taking out deleted scenes? If so, you should totally show us them when the real book comes out! ;)
For the past few days, we've been doing testing for four hours a day and thank the lord that today was the last day! I swear, my fingers totally CRAMPED while I was writing my essay... ouch! So anyway, we all had to wait SILENTLY until the absolute last person was done with this huge test, and in the meantime, we all had to read our books. So I went ahead and glued my eyes to the pages of the fantabulous book written by Jennifer Lynn Barnes:
THE SQUAD: PERFECT COVER
It's really good! Thanks for the suggesation, Ally. I think that it's great you and Jennifer are friends. How coincidental that you both write books about spies...! *wink* *wink*
Anyway, hope you get through this rough time, but I'm sure that it's what'll make GG3 the best book ever!
(I also got two of my friends now hooked on the first book, and once they're done with that, and once they finish the second book, and once they come on your blog and see what an awesome person you are, they are going to be DYING (is that how you spell it??) for the third book!!!!
Anyway, this is turning out to come out really long.. so, bye!
~Pris
P.S. somebody PLEASE tell me what BTW means! I'm DYING(?) to know!!!
It's hard and under-appreciated.
Well, that could describe a number of things (Teaching comes to mind immediately). I hope you get through it okay. well not like you're gonna die or anything (probably), but still. :)
Think of the reward...err....
omg i LOVE your books
p.s. are those guys real? well if not i wish they were!
i cannot wait until your third book comes out.
dont stop writing please!
i think its amazing that even though writing the book is hard, you still get through it! :)
i like to write stories, i mainly invent them to be long (because long stories often have the richer plots!) but i get bored with the topic or it just gets too hard. so i rarely finish them.
hope it gets better!
eu espero que os tempos comecem melhores para que você im pesaroso mim cant falam o inglês fluent mas eu posso o ler eu cant a espera para GG3!
btw = by the way, Pris.
Ally,
*I'm sorry and I hope it get easier for you!
*I'm new here and I don't really know how you do things and wether or not you can answer these questions,but:
- Where are you in writing the book gg3?
- Do you by chance know how long it will take to finish gg3?
& - When will you tell us what the title and cover looks like
* I do like Josh but I like Zach much more!
Lots of Hope and Luck!
P.S. for whoever asked, btw means by the way!
hey ally i am a huge fan of both of ur books and cant wait for gg3 to come out i hope they make them into a movie but of course the book is always better.
i hope i gets better for you!!
Bye
Ha ha. Yeah I mean...I love to write and all but usually it's just a paragraph!
- I love your books Ally.
Awe. I feel so special. I mean--you are writing the books for OUR entertainment! (And so you have all your needs but that's beside the point.)
- LYLASAETINMY (Love you like a sis Ally, even though I've never met you)
I really like zack so please put in other gallagher girl books. These books are the best books i have ever read. Your the best!!!!!!
I cant wait!!!
