Procrastination (It’s an Art Form)
I’ve been writing every night for… I’m going to say a week and a half. I have no desire to right this minute, nor did I yesterday. But I was looking over this book seires I’m thinking about reading, Anita Blake in Guilty Pleasures by Laurell Hamilton, and I looked at an interview with her on B&N.com. It seems she, like every other writer I’ve looked at, says that you have to write every day, no matter if your in the mood or not. So, knowing this, I’m planning on writing again later tonight. Or maybe when this post is over, I haven’t decided yet, and I honestly just want to sit around and do nothing. I mean, come on, it’s Saturday!
Well, at least tomorrow I’m going to my nearest B&N (I would prefer a Borders, but we don’t have one for miles around. B&N is far enough away for my grandparents), and getting some books on creating worlds, if I can find them. I should be looking up the names and authors of those books, but again, I’m procrastinating, and I want to watch Interview with the Vampire (or maybe that’s just an excuse, again.)
Sigh. I should go and write. Or maybe I’ll play Super Crazy Guitar Maniac 3 or The Frustration Game 2. Or maybe I’ll write like I’m suposed to. Ugh.
Slow Work…
I’ve decided, though I’ve been working as much as I can lately on Devine, From the Dark I think I’ll start working more on Retribution then the former. But then again, I should probably finish book 1 before I move on to 2… It’s slow work writing a book.
Well, beside the fact that I have no desire to write right this second, I still have homework to do. Ugh. Back to the books: the confusing, dry ones, not the good ones.
Back from the dead (so to speak)
Haha! And you thought I was dead, didn’t you? Or, if you’re like me, you could be thinking. “She thinks people won’t read this think, just is letting it die…”. Well I thought about it. A lot. I actually decided I was for a while, but then I went on some other writer girl’s blog and thought: “Huh. This is kind of cool. Weird, but cool. I’ve got to get me one of these!”
And then I recalled: Huh, I do have one of these. And came back on here. So, I’m bored out of my mind to the point of writing about by new ideas (and my revamped old ones) on here for you people to look at.
The one I’m working on now, Divine, From the Dark (otherwise known as Stripped of Darkness. I changed the title.) has so much that needs to be done, I don’t know where to start on it. So I’ve been trying to work on Divine, Retribution (otherwise known as Reclusive, the sequel. I changed that title too.) And that one is a lot harder when you really don’t know what’s going to happen in the first one, so that going quite sluggishly.
And Moonlight Reign (no title change there), is going well, much better than the other, but I’ve decided to reconstruct the first…fifty pages or so, which leads me to groan with the very thought of writing it. (Too bad, because I really want to sometimes.)
And so, with two on standby, it leaves only the Werewolf Games (the other one got scrapped pretty quickly). And the Werewolf Games is a very long story. I had an idea for a vampire book a long long time ago, but put it on standby until I got older (so I don’t screw it up, because I will if I write it now) that I called Origin. Both books, I found, could quite easily fit together. So, I decided to put them together, along with another vampire book I just thought up.
So, now, I have three series’. Divine Wars, Moonlight, and Nightlife (in order) and I’m happy with them all. Two of which, can be adapted with either new characters or old ones. Nightlife has all different main characters, but the side characters are simply old main characters. For instance, Connor, the king of the vampires (so to speak, it’s more complicated than that) is the main character in Origin, yet in Werewolf Games and The Dead Life, he’s a great side character that comes up a lot. Just like the main character, Nikolai, in The Dead Life, ended up being in The Werewolf Games and part of Origin. But in Moonlight you have completely different characters, but in the same world. Except in one, that’s basically a sequel to Moonlight Reign, picking up where the character left off twenty years earlier. But anyway, I ramble, and have taken up enough of you peoples’ time already.
Logos, Pictures and other colorful subjects
Okay. I haven’t been on in god knows how long but I have an excuse (no I don’t, but just smile and pretend I know what I’m talking about.) and lots of rants. First off, I worked on a new cover for my books. Just an idea then I’ve been working on. Nothing to serious. Might blend it into the sequel for Werewolf Games though.
Not titled. I thank all of the wonderful people at photobucket for allowing a maniac like me on the website to make these things for. And plus I have absolutely no idea where I found these (I don’t write the names down) and even if I did, I know photoshop well enough to know that I’ll never know who to thank anyway. So, if you drew one of these- whoever you are- I thank you. The girl up on the top laying backwards, she reminds me of the girl in the top left (blurry I know, but best I can do) and so, they are supposed to be the same person. Kind of. But for all normal purposes, yes, it’s the same girl. The one on the bottom left in the water is Morrigan. I stick her there after I realized that the characters could totally fit into the sequel I’m planning. (And in case you didn’t know, Morrigan was the main character in The Werewolf Games) The punk girl in the bottom right hand corner, her name is Rymona and to put it lightly she’s a bitch. But she’s a cool bitch in any case. (Happens to be my favorite character actually) The one next to her in the long dress is another girl named Valerie (But that’s not what people call her, her nickname’s Reed), and the one laying on the stars is Raven. The cool chick. The heroine (Funny how the main character isn’t the heroine.) and the guy in the upper left, his name is Chase. Or was. Or maybe still is. I haven’t decided yet. It’s up for debate.
Anyway, I was oober bored on Easter so I sat there and made this. And it’s not one of my best one’s either. No comparison to Stripped of Darkness:
Or Fable:
Or Reclusive (Which honestly needs to get editied):
Or even the first Moonlight Reign (Back when it was children of Reno):
Which also needs editing, but I guess that’s life. And keep in mind that Stripped of Darkness (Reclusive is it’s sequel) was the first one I did, while Moonlight Reign was the second. And Fable being the latest before throwing together the top one.Speaking of pictures I need to go and find some new pictures of anime characters. I’m percariously close to using the same characters more than once. (I probably already did on some of the other ones too) I sure spend enough time there, looking for more to add to my one million icons collection (I sort them into the different series’ they apply too. No dissing, Lily does it too.) Anything really to avoid writing more. I’ve hit a dead end again, and I want to work on Reclusive again like I’m supposed to be doing. And… Jeez, did I really do that bad a job of covering up Caleb’s shirt? [stares in shock] ouch. Thank god I’m not using that one anymore. Where is that anyway? I’ll have to go search my computer again… Anyway, you’ve gotten your update and I don’t feel guilty anymore. I’d better go work on elipsis (more on that later) and I’ll get back to being an idiot later.
Vampire Rant (Short)
I was thinking for a really long while at the end of the math test I had today about really one thing: vampires.
Now, isn’t that a strange thing to be thinking about after a math test? Especially when I could have been looking over my answers. (Yep, I’m just a rebel sometimes. 🙂 ) And it dawned on me that vampires are about the coolest mythical creatures out there, next to demons, but they’re just naturally pretty damn cool. It also dawned on me, to be the main reason why my favorite power is to read minds. I would filter out vampires and norms in a millisecond. Of course, that might be kind of difficult now that I posted it on the damn web. But in the event that I gain the ability to read minds, I’m going out to hunt vampires.
But, alas, I have no mind reading powers, and thus cannot hunt vampires. Well, yet, I’m still working on that one.
Later I’m going to try and post this really awesome quiz i got in an e-mail. (Chain mail sucks, but this one was cool.) Later, trying to cream a friend of mine at speak-in-quotes.
