I was invited to a wedding this weekend so, I fully intended to spend Saturday night going to bed early so, I could be ready for the drive back home but, I couldn't sleep I found a Starbucks that was open late and sat down to IM with whoever was online when I decided to write some United Light.
It was like a total writer-nirvana moment because it was as if the chapter fell out of my fingertips and like the characters were telling me what to write, it was wonderful. So, I am proud to say chapter 6 is up.
I have made a rule for myself that I will try to keep the entries atleast 5,000 words or more like the last one but, this one is about 4,700.
When writing this chapter I did a little something different. For what I was writing my playlist just wasn't cutting it so, I decided to listen to Linda's when I wrote it. And I have to say it helped but, the playlist is very Linda Leigh, not that that is a bad thing.
I really think Come Round Soon by Sara Barielles could be the theme song for Spirits, it's like the song was written for the series it is absolutley perfect.
Anyway during the editing process I decided to add some songs to the playlist I origninally had and it helped the story come along. They are not nearly as perfect as Linda's but they definetley made more sense for what I writing . I am going too see if I can put the playlists in my sidebar somewhere so, I will see.
Edit -- The new playlist is in the sidebar ! I did it, I feel smart !
I really had fun writing this and I can't wait for the next piece to be told.
Lol, I totally have a 'what the hell" face ! Elisa is awesome
ReplyDeleteIs the standing in the rain song for Elisa because I feel like it really describes her situation. But it could also be for Julianna who seems to be accepting the problem they have.
ReplyDeleteaww, poor Sawyer he is really stressin' out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip ! I like a chapter that can make me feel sad and laugh. Is Sid the new love interest.
ReplyDeleteWere the bath salts Julie used supposed to be a gift from Sawyer ?
ReplyDeleteThis is by far my favorite chapter, Elisa POV was certainly different from Julie's.
I love Indina Menzel, I think the song is perfect for United Light
ReplyDeleteI can tell Elisa isn't going to last to long in the Commune, It's nice hearing a little bit more about what United Light is like.
ReplyDeleteSo, is United Light supposed to be a cult or does it have no religious standing. It seems that it's more of an organization or state of mind ?
ReplyDeleteDid you put Halo in at someone's request ? If so I think Belief by Gavin would be good for Julianna because she trust Sawyer so much.
ReplyDeleteI love Julianna's nick name !
ReplyDeleteoh ! Is Linda right is Sid the new Love interest ? Also, maybe I missed it but what are Julianna's and Sawyer's last names ?
ReplyDeleteJulianna could have gotten a lot more for the plates !
ReplyDeleteI liked seeing Elisa's POV, She is certainly not afraid of Caine.
I do wonder why Elisa doesn't mention Julianna I thought they were friends. I'm starting not to like Sawyer since he made Julianna cry.
ReplyDeleteYour playlist just gets better and better. "Stand in the rain" really sums up Julie and Sawyer's sitution. It was so sad when she started crying );
ReplyDeleteI don't think the list is very Linds Leigh, I think it speaks nicely with United Light. I see Better Day as a montage with Julianna at the yard sale, IDK
ReplyDeleteYeah, Starbucks !
ReplyDeletegreat to see an update, I'm so nervous about what is going to happen next. I searched for Symbolism in this chapter but I couldn't find it. Was I trying to hard ?
Elisa always has unintentionally funny lines. I'm glad to see you were hanging with us Green Siren Folk. I'm thinking Sam is going to be the next love interest.
ReplyDeleteYou must love S's
ReplyDeleteShawna
Sawyer
Sid
Sam
and Cecilla sort of
I feel sorry for Sawyer, I wonder if they are going to make enough money, although people in forums seem to have other ideas.
ReplyDeleteI think Greg is the new love interest, maybe I'm just trying to to be different. Any hints Shawna ?
ReplyDeleteJulie and Sawyer certainly get a lot done in a day
*goes to make open face turkey sandwich*
If only Sawyer and Julianna new they didn't have to worry about Elisa as much, I guess that's part of Caine's plan.
ReplyDeleteSo, they make banana bread but never thought to take regular bread and fry it in egg with powder sugar ? Other than that Elisa is in a crazy position.

ReplyDeleteThank you all for the comments, you are lovely !
@ Darcy_Lover - You always seem to be first ! I have one to , I mostly use it when JB is talking about Pennsylvania,lol !
@ Annie-- TBH, originally all the songs were for Elisa but they could go both ways.
@Maylights -- Yes, he is. I think Sawyer feels very responsible for what is happening and it is getting to him.
@Linda-- You know when I said there would be another love interset it was before I introduced Elisa and I was talking about her. I'm not sure what Sid is but, Sawyer had to have had some friends.
@Maylights- Either someone stole your username or you posted twice,either way it's all good! No, all of their wedding gifts (as far as I know) are from other people. I was feeling like their chapters were very similar so I am glad to see readers saw a difference.
@EarlyLove-- I love her too ! Her kid is going to be gorgeous ! Yes this song is, I find it very uplifting.
@Amber-- Yes, it is not what she is used too at all. I have no idea what she is going to do. I think we will hear more. I'm not hinting at anything because I have no clue what will happen next.
@HappyApple-- All I can tell you is, it has no religious standing that I know of. I assume it is more of a strict code and way of life
@HilsonFTMFW -- You have to explain to me what your username means, one day. Yes, I did. I think their are many good songs and I am open for suggestions, I think Belief could fit in too.
@ Julie-- Oh, I guess you do! I think "Ana" or "Li" or something would be too much of a departure from her actual name. Is Julianna your whole name ? I think I wrote this character before I met you, lol
@ Harriet -- As I have said I have no idea. For all I know we may never see Sid again. Their last name collectively is Miller. I gave it to Julianna on my first website under the description and later decided (found out, really) that was her married name. So, I'm not sure just yet what Julianna's maiden name.
@Lizzie-- Yes, she could have but she is still very timid. Elisa does not believe in fear.
@ Carliegh -- She assumes Julianna is at home so she is more worried about Sawyer. They have only known each other a few hours but, I don't think Elisa knows how she feels about Julianna. He was just stressed but, I suppose he should have apologized for yelling.
@ Redrose-- Hmm, I think it does. I think Sawyer making Julianna cry is an example of unconditional love because he can get upset with her but, still care about her. But, it wasn't meant to be very sad.
@Petite_b- that is interesting, I guess it could. I really do find that if I took Linda's songs into my writing the plots would be very similar. Her songs are great but when I hear them I think if Tomas+Sofia
@ Natalie-- No, you weren't ! I will explain some of it in the next entry
@ Barista_girl -- I love my Iced Chai Tea's ! I never thought of that, I guess we have to meet Sam first.
@ Gina-- I suppose it is mostly like Rowling and her color purple
@Halley -- Forums ? Really ? Well,I would not be able to read those anyway, we will see what happens.
@ Tatiana-- Sawyer is awfully motivated. I have no clue where a love interest may pop up.
@ Andy -- Julianna has some idea, as she said it in the last chapter that Caine is not cruel but, either way Sawyer does not want her to be there. Yes I suppose it is part of his plan.
@ KiwiGirl-- Good point ! I think maybe Julianna's mom didn't talk to Ceceila. Yes she is in a crazy situation and I think seeing how it plays out will be very entertaining
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Thanks for the Love ♥ ♥ ♥
I have been told both online and IRL that you and Linda are these brilliant writers and I should be proud. So, I took this Sunday afternoon to actually read what you guys wrote and you two are wonderful writers and if you'll allow me I am very proud, if not a little scared you'll both get together and take my place. If you are wondering if I put a similar comment on Linda's blog and texted to her phone but switched the names the answer is yes.
ReplyDelete@ Joel -- Thanks ! I know I could not be doing this well without you and I will acknowledge that. Thanks for your support
