Pictures
I do have a few photos from these chapters. First off all Sam is based very loosely on Brad Beyer (Aquaman, anybody ?) and the dress I used as Juliana's wedding dress, minus the bow.
Did You Catch It ?
I do put meaning behind any of the photos and I want to stress that what Juliana ans Sawyer did was breaking bad for them. I used the apple as a photo (original sin ?? anybody get that ?) because I was creating imagery of almost all of the 7 deadly sins in one.
Other than that I have nothing to say and I love to answer questions in comments too, that seems to work out well and makes these entries shorter.
I have a playlist for Chapter 12 and of course I have chapter 12 here. There are some weird things going on with the asterisks but they mean nothing (Atleast I think ?) .
This is another chapter where I actually think it would help to listen to the songs during the section they are paired with, with the exception of 12.1.
12.1 -- City by Sara Bareilles
12.2-- The Way I Am -- Ingrid Michaelson
12.3 -- Many The Miles by Sara Barielles (I told you I used lots of her music for inspiration !)
12.4 -- Realize Colbie Colbait
Okay Shawna, I'm sure you already know this but United Light is over 54,000 words long totaling over 200 pages, Congratulations. Also you stole one of my songs (;
ReplyDeleteNice chapter !
GCS FTW ! The last parts were pretty interesting with the changing view points.
ReplyDeleteI called it ! I so called what the last 12 words were. I was a little unsure about this chapter and it's format but I loved the story it was telling.
ReplyDeleteElisa and Sawyers reunion was so romantic ! Isn't it like a jail cliche to start reading Pablo Narudo ?
ReplyDeleteThe music cues are a lot of fun, I'm glad Sawyer is trying to cheer up Julianna but he seems to still be a little selfish. I feel so sorry for Juliana now.
ReplyDeleteI was afraid this was going to be the end. Hope we learn more about the Bradley/Juliana/Patrick situation something is obviously missing there. I'm glad Sawyer/Elisa are back together.
ReplyDeleteI'm calling Elisa and Sawyer getting married. I teared up at thier reunion. Julie as a character was however lacking.
ReplyDeleteI'm still holding out for Juliana/Sawyer
ReplyDeleteApart from that the writing style was different on this chapter, lots of dialogue. The signing in the car part was cute, it's my new favorite song.
Poor, Juliana she is all alone. I hope her parents take her back in. GSC was a cute little nickname, was it implied who the baby-daddy was ?
ReplyDeleteThe music for this chapter was Spot on, when Sawyer is leaving the jail it was prefectly described I got frikkin' chills ! It's so sad what is happening to Julie and I blame Sawyer so I'm still sticking with the SawyerisAjerk fan club.
ReplyDeleteBTW
When can we expect another awesome update ????
squeeeeee! an update I was not expecting that ! ! !
ReplyDeleteI try to feel sorry for Julie but I just feel like she did all the work and everyone else gets their happy ending. I saw Linda's Comment, that's amazing !
I thought the last part intersting you really handle POV changes well. Sawyers POV was just as I expected it but I wonder where he and Juliana stand now ? I did feel like some of the chapters where missing and were not fleshed out enough or maybe that was just your style.
ReplyDeleteHow can Sawyer spend time with Elisa knowing poor Juliana has been traumatized because of him, I still think he is a jerk.
ReplyDeleteElisa/Sawyer are perfect together, it's so sad they had to be apart for so long. I honselty think Julie needs to toughen up, I would think she is smart enough to not let men take advanatge of her.
ReplyDeleteWhat ?! I mean I was not expecting an update it made my day. The conclusion to the last chapter was amazing. It was sad how Juliana had changed, I would have liked to undrestand more of what she is going through. Maybe I'm in denial but I'm still rooting for Sawyer/Juliana ! After all they went through together.
ReplyDeleteWaffle House and Holiday Inn ?
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you use real names of establishments it creates a sense of realism. I have downloaded all these songs onto my Ipod and will think of United Light when I hear them.
I know it's inappropriate but swimming during a hurricane ? LOL. I love the tiny bits of humor. I'm fearing it's the end. When can we expect another update ?
ReplyDeleteGSC, I love it. The last bit was so intesne and sweet. "The Way I Am" is the offical song of Juliana/Sawyer shippers !
ReplyDeleteCaine is so evil, I think he did something to Juliana.
ReplyDeleteAhhh! An update so soon ! ! Things are getting really shady for Juliana, but I'm shocked Elisa is willing to leave so easily.
ReplyDeleteOMG, seriously Sawyer ? Why is he leaving the state he is just going to have to go back, he should have just sent Julie home.
ReplyDelete*searches for symbolism intently*
ReplyDeleteWhen Sawyer is with Elisa it's like he is a differnt person, I hope they get married too !
I think the offical Juliana/Sawyer song should be "I Got a Feeling" by BEP or "Let Me Take You There" PWT
ReplyDeleteI loved this chapter because it reinforced how good Elisa and Sawyer are for each other. Juliana has been hurt by the outside world and the best we can hope is that she finds a place back in the commune.
ReplyDeleteThis chapter was good for the ending the rest just felt rushed and dazed, not my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI bet Rosa's family made the quilt for her, it would be cute if she had it since she was a child.
ReplyDeleteHow did Sawyer get a car, wouldn't they run some checks ? or maybe the place is shady. I'm so happy Elisa and Sawyer get to be together but at the same time I feel like Sawyer is kicking Julianna to the curb.
ReplyDeleteI love the GSC action, they are so corny. I'm also loling at how Cecila is right in the middle of it 0:
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious that Juliana has not been staying at the hotel, I bet if Sawyer wasn't such a jerk he would have noticed that or he could have questioned Sid.
ReplyDeleteElisa doesn't seem sincere to me, she just wants what GCS has and I don't think she is going to get that with Sawyer I mean his is figurativly (and really) scarred for life, how can Elisa work in Criminal Justice knowing what he did ? If this is nearing the end I hope things work out for everybody.
ReplyDeleteWhy does everyone think it is nearing the end ? I would be kinda crushed ):. I think GCS are super cute and I'm more concerned about Sawyer and Juliana separately than Elisa, TBH
ReplyDeleteJuliana has been objectified while trying to help Sawyer, it seems wrong for him to leave her hanging. I wonder if she still cares about him
ReplyDeleteI blame Sawyer for everything that has happened to Julie with the exeption of Caine. He has been way to hard on his Daughter-in-law. Maybe jerkiness runs in the family.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised on of Bradley's PW wasn't 69
ReplyDeleteSo Christian even Jesus would be too Jewish to get in
ReplyDelete- Love Elisa, she is the life of the party when she's not there.
Noooo, how can Elisa get in the middle of Sawyer/Juliana they seem to have more fun together, did he really have to mention the kiss ?
ReplyDeleteIt's odd, we haven't really seen much of Elisa and Sawyer together and I think it's odd people like them as a couple. I didn't really buy thier "I love yous" the first time around but times does things. I also think we are getting close to the end and now I'm rooting for Juliana's Happiness.
ReplyDeleteI for one think Juliana has been on drugs or she started taking Sawyers' morphine it would explain her behavior. Brad was clearly treating her "nice" so either she left him and got into trouble.
