Quick Update

No, I do not have chapter 8 up (check in a few hours, though).

Playlist

I wrote chapter 7 as the set up for chapter 8 (which is the one I was warning you all about) so, that is why chapter 8 is coming up so quickly but, I didn't want to post them together. I was very surprised how easily these chapters came about once I started on them.

As far as playlist go,I have had the hardest time finding music for these chapters but, I suggest you listen to Lina Leigh's play list especially Winter Song (my new ringtone) and Come Round Soon by Sara Barielles. As I have said my playlist are more conceptual so they go with the over all story and I pretty much use the same one when I write each chapter. If you know a song that you think would fit the story, feel free to tell me because I am done even looking for songs, it takes up to much time I don't have. If I happen to hear or see something that I like I may add it to the playlist and tell you all about it.

This is another behind the chapter post.

Images:

Someone suggested I put pictures of more than just the people I imagine playing the characters. I only really have one and that is for Cecelia's dress :



I snapped this pic when I went to a vintage dress shop in LA. I was turned on to the shop by someone I knew, it's actually the one Mr.Baker's wife gets some of her clothes from.

I know in this chapter the characters sleep alot so, that is why I chose that image I did for the top. It was merely conceptual.

Story:

I have been trying to keep Elisa and Julianna's timelines in sync with each other but, I may be abandoning that soon, it can be very hard to keep their lives at the same pace. I don't know how confusing that may be so I might abandond Elisa's POV for a while and then go back to her. Or I may just use my poetic licesnce and do whatever I want with the timelines. I think that is what will ultimatley happen in chapter 8.

I also hope the way I switch between Elisa and Julianna's POV makes sense. There is a reason in the book publishing world you would never get away with first person omnicient, lol.

I have also taken Poetic Liscense with Miami's urban planning. I am a east coast girl and only go to the South to see families. For those of you who don't know in the south lost of Indian Families own and live in motels (Think Denzel Washington in Mississippi Marsala) that have daily rates. This is wear they are staying, they are on the city limits. I choose the name Orange Blossom becacause the state flower of Florida is Orange Blossom. My color choices have nothing to do with OrangeMarlow and Cobalt (are you happy, Joel ?). Also the fact that the Gators colors are blue and orange is also a coincedece. It is actually creepy to me how many coincideces there are in the story.

I also double spaced this entry (to make it look longer,lol) , I wonder if that makes it easier to read ? Also the official word count on this entry is actually . . . 5,769 so , not 6,000 but it's interesting how you all saw this one as longer.

What you've all been waiting for :

The movie Julianna is watching is 300. I knew if I said anything else about it, it would give it away. I was originally going to write my own sex scene but, with all the good ones (and not so good ones) out there I decided to find one (I had to do this at home and not at work though, lol) anyway 300 is rated R and as much as I believe in free speech, if you are under 17 please don't get me in trouble and watch this.


300 - These bloopers are hilarious


If you all have any questions about UL I am more than happy to do a Q&A, I'd love to here these theories! I won't give away any spoilers though. I would update this entry with your Q's and my A's. As I have said Chapter 8 is written and it will not change.
