So what do you do when your whole art class begins to listen into your story conversation? I was talking with one of my friends in art because she's worked on the story with me before. My story's four years in the making (well over a hundred pages) and not something that could be summed up easily.
Suddenly, after listening to scraps of my stories, different friends from Art and some not-so-friends are showing up and being like, "So what are you going to do to so-and-so." "Is it true that those two are dating? That's weird! Explain it!"
And suddenly a writing piece that was suppose to be kept between a few of us until I've finished is now being talked and questioned in art.
Suggestions? I hate this =[

Yes, this has happened to Emma before. 'Cept it wasn't art...
I suggest that you just tell them to buy the book after it's published. xD That's what I do, and it works for me. I say:
"It's hard to explain. But, you can buy it in a few years!"

lol, yeah. Leave it a mystery, OR just give them as brief a a reason as possible. It's hard, I know what you mean. Besides, you are so far into it, that you really can tell them to wait till it's published.

Maybe that's what I'll do =) Thanks guys.
I can't imagine telling the whole thing. I should just find the broadest sentence I can like, "It's a story with two guys a lot of drama. and an ending." XDD That'd be hilarious to see.

I wish this would happen to me! I keep my stories very close to me, possibly too close, but I love getting other people interested in them.

I know what you mean. I almost like people asking about my story. Except when there's more than one... eh.

lol, yeah. I dunno, I guess that I just really don't like people reading my stories. Maybe I just need to get more confident in myself or something... I don't know. If my friends were discussing my stories, I don't really know how I'd feel. A little proud, maybe?
*sigh* I keep mine to myself too much. So what kind of questions do they ask you?

My friends always ask what it's about, who so and so is, and etc. It's mostly like this: "What's that?"

It's not that I don't like sharing it, it's just unfinished, complicated, and sorta' personal from those who aren't close friends.
I ended up just summing it up as, "Boy is friends with boy. Second boy ends up dating a girl. First boy is jealous and super dependent on second boy. First boy shoots second to be together. Second boy lives but first does not."
They were all like, "Woooaahh." =3

I expected you to say that the first boy lives but the second doesn't, but the way the roles were swtiched makes it ironic. -nods-
