In celebration of yesterday’s good news and the fact that I cannot think of one way to follow it up with an ordinary blog entry, I am releasing TWO teaser videos for Some Girls Are and THE SECOND CHAPTER instead today. Also in celebration I am using less segue to do it! Yay!
Here is video teaser #2, entitled, “Hallowell High.”
And now I present to you the second chapter. I was going to tell you that AWFUL STUFF IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN but awful stuff already went down in chapter one, so… FURTHER AWFUL STUFF IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN. But you have to read and find out what that awful stuff is!
If you’re reading on site, scroll down to “Monday” if you’ve read the first chapter. That is where the new awful stuff begins. Here is some trivia! The second chapter of Some Girls Are was actually the first until like. April of this year. I KNOW!
And that is that.
As always, thank you to the wonderful Kim Hutt for giving voice to Regina.
I really hope you guys enjoy reading and watching! And stay tuned for future video teasers (and at least four ARC giveaways of Some Girls Are to go with them!) and the third chapter before release!

gasp! where? they’re working for me!
I think I like the second trailer better. There’s something about the starkness of it and just “Don’t think about it” that makes you think about it.
Just read the chapter – wow! I have to say that you set it up nicely in the first chapter though. The reader will know not to trust Kara, even if Regina doesn’t know that.
Not sure if I like it starting with the second chapter or the first. Of course it’s impossible to tell, since I already read the first chapter, but I really like the second one. It’s very strong. Can’t wait to read what happens next. When is it out again? Can you make them print it faster? ;) kidding, sort of.
Didn’t want to needlessly add to the deluge of adoring comments you are getting/will get… but heyyy, why the heck not?!? <333
Let me guess why this was the first chapter – you were going to reveal the Donnie scene later on, like in CUtB? I loooove those gradual reveals – so mysterious, and I have one in my WIP – but this works so well too. :)
All in all… AMAZIN'.
this REALLY makes me want to see a ‘some girls are’ movie… because i was LUCKY enough to read an ARC i know how good it is and these trailers are AWESOME…
: )
The link to the website version of chapter two actually links to chapter one. But the PDF link is good.
I seriously can not wait to read the rest. Although I’d really love to have it read to me by Kim Hutt, can she not make an audio book? Such a fantastic voice!
That’s a killer second chapter. I’m so tense f*#$@*# tense. And I can see how it could’ve worked as the first chapter too. They each create a very different feel but they both totally grab you.
You see how tense I am – I wrote tense TWICE.
Eeeeeee!!!! Okay, even being one of ~the privileged~ who has READ Some Girls Are (BUY IT, PEOPLE, PRE-ORDER AND BUY ITTT!!!) these make me want to read ALL over again! The teasers are SO awesome, and still only HINT at the shocking amazingness that is SGA.
Sincerely,
Some Person Who Doesn’t Know Courtney, Not At All
Kim’s voice is great on these teasers!
btw, there’s no “under the cut” link on the entry to find the videos when viewing on the main blog page (but videos and pdf all show when I open this post on its own)
Nope… I cant see them either :(
sruble: thank you on all counts! Glad you liked the second trailer. Hee, I will either invent a time machine or ask SMP to hurry it up. ;)
Emilia: aw! THANK YOU! And you totally called it–the Donnie scene was originally revealed later on a la CUTB. But it took too long to get to that point and really subtracted from Regina’s emotional motivation. Having to make her go through the moment in the now gave everything more weight. :)
sonja: thank you!!
Bill: I have to update the URL to say that it’s just an excerpt. Chapter 2 starts about halfway down the page. :)
Alexa: YAY! I am so glad to hear it! And isn’t Kim fantastic?!! I am jealous of her voice. If I sounded like her, I would not fear public readings.
C.K.: HEE, I am very humbled by the fact that it made you write TENSE twice!!! That made my night.
Emily: WHO ARE YOU? I DON’T KNOW YOU, DO I? Also ~*~ you rock.
Shari: I love her voice! My blog page doesn’t have an under-the-cut link in the LJ sense, but if you notice the list of links under the excerpt, you’ll see “read this entry.” If you click on that it’ll take you to the entry, or you can click on the individual titles of the blog. Hope that makes sense!
Tye: eek. :( you are the second person to have reported this problem to me! I am trying to figure out what it is. So far all my URL testers haven’t had this issue. Hmm.
yay!! fixed it :)
Blame Apple, I do. Them and Google, taking over the world one gigabyte at a time…..
I finally remembered to try again and everything works just fine. It doesn’t look like anyone else got errors so obviously I was just special that day (as I am every day).
Annika: I bet it was a conspiracy.
