I have definatley felt a breath of fresh air with United Light. In a metaphoric and real sense. I was crushed to discover I had lost a small portion of it and had to rewrite but, I discovered that rewriting it only made it better as I am sure most writers discover.
I also decided to create a short playlist of which I put below. For some of these songs it was the lyrics that helped with the story and some of them it was the melody. These are all inspirations and in no way act as a way to foreshadow what will happen in the story, even I don't know what will happen in the story so, maybe they will have an affect. If you are into fun and upbeat music you may find this playlist and little emotional and a drag but despite what I think my intentions are this story does have a kind of emotional and reflective pace.
Most of the songs refelect the characters and other do not and I just liked the song. I will probably post why I chose the particular song later. I am going to challenge myself to pick a random song (probably of my iPod) and incorporate it into the story. Not only will it be a challenge but, it will help me move the story along because despite my inspirtation I am still at a dead end as to where the story is going.
Anyway the website has been updated. If you look to the right you will see the links to all the websites that are important or relevant to me. So all updates will be on the UL website you see linked. I have taken the Shawna Harrison website down.
I hope you enjoy the update and the next one should be coming on this one's heels (most likely tomorrow).
Hmmmm . . . it seems the hosting website I use is down for matienince for the day so, I will be publishing this on google docs

Too bad the other site didn't work I would have loved to see pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love Elisa, "tell him I didn't mean to shoot him" made me LOL
ReplyDeleteOMG, how does Sawyer know about pot ? JK
ReplyDeleteThe playlist is great, I was hoping for the chapter to be longer.
ReplyDeleteOoh, can we suggest a song for you to put into your story ? I would think Halo by Beysus would be good.
ReplyDeleteDoes Elisa have a last name ? Just wondering. Can't wait to see what happens next.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool how their Starbucks drinks seem to say something about their personality, or are they not supposed to.
ReplyDeleteI love this story, lots of action. Too bad Elisa and Julianna didn't get to finish their conversation
ReplyDeleteI like a story that can make me laugh a little.
ReplyDeleteThe conversation between Elisa and Julianna. . . AKWARD !!
ReplyDeleteVanilla Chai Tea Latte is the best, in case the gang go back to starbucks.
ReplyDeletelove, love, love your work, shawna
ReplyDeleteby reflective do you mean that there are going to be flashback scenes. ♥
ReplyDeletehope u don't mind the hearts
I was hoping for a longer chapter but I liked the tone of this one. I'm really loving Elisa she seems to add something I think Julianna is missing.
ReplyDeleteI thought the songs were pretty upbeat. Corrine Bailey ray is what I image was playing in the sbux, lol
