What ? An Update

I know it's been a while as some of you have pointed out but, I do not have an update for you all today.

I have 2.

I was not holding out so,let me explain. I have gotten in to the habit of turning of my page and word count so I can work on just story and not a numbers game. When I was done getting out the rough story I turned the word count back on and I was shocked by the number over 10,000 !

So, it took me a while to edit it and then I decided to break it into 2 different chapters at the last minute.

And I do have a playlist. If any of you remember the playlist to the right was my inspiration before I even knew the story so, I will occasionally pull songs from it.

This playlist is a little different in that, some chapters are silent and others are surrounded by the music. I will explain it later.

I do have a playlist in my head for the next few chapter so I have a pretty good direction and I can't wait to write it.

With that said here is Chapter 10 and Chapter 11


10.1 - "I'm Yours" - Jason Mraz
"Sleeping Beauty Waltz"- Tchaikovsky
" Green Light" -- John Legend

10.2 - "Better Day" -- Saving Jane


11.1 - "Look After You" The Fray -- you may have to play it multiple times !

11.2- "I Gotta Feeling" Black Eyed Peas

11.3 - "Let me take you there"- Plain White T's

11.4 - "Umbrella" - Plain White T's Cover

  1. Shawna you are such a tease with the ending. It was great hearing from Elisa again.

  2. The songs were so perfect. I never would have pegged Cecila as a Mayer girl.

  3. I can't believe I found myself feeling sorry for Sawyer, I'm not sure about his jerk status anymore.

  4. Elisa at the wedding took me back to all the weddings I've been to 'Single'. Are we ever going to hear about the sleeping arrangments.

  5. Two updates ! Shawna you are spoiling us. This was a good read chapter ten raises more questions about whether Elisa will stay but Chapter 11 had some real emotion behind it.

  6. Julie and Sawyer really were breaking bad, The cover version of Umbrella was so perfect but the ending is killing me.

  7. At first I didn't like the saving Jane song but it's growing on me. I'm Caine/Elisa now is that wierd I can't help it. Elisa is so badass but Sawyer and Julianna certainly one-upped her in chapter 11.

  8. The story has taken a strange turn, it seems more like something that they would air on the CW.

  9. Do you do bus research as well, they are doing pretty good without a car. Bradley seems equally as sleazy but I don't know. When can we expect and update ?

    ReplyDelete
  10. So, if Elisa's parents are dead then why does she care that Caine new about them ?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Just when Julie and Sawyer seem to have it together. I'm surprised at how down and dirty they got.

  12. Love the name of the other club, 10th circle. I'm on the fence about united light. I mean it sounds great and peacful but it seems so fake or maybe we are the fake ones. Who knows.

    It's sad how old Julianna's parents are.

  13. I imagine Greg cutting in during the dance was like akward for *someone*, the wedding scene felt so real.

  14. Caine is and awesome character with his limericks and Lexus. I think he is a sociopath though, just saying.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Chapter 10 was kind've one note but I'm all over Chapter 11 the way Julianna was deciding where they were staying and taking charge. really cool story.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Most people put this last but seriously when is the next update you left me hanging with that ending.

    I was never a big Sawyer fan but I don't know I mean maybe he's not a complete jerk. Julianna's childhood room seems so nice and comforting, I hope she gets to go back there.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I wonder why Caine is so bent on ruining Sawyer ? I think Caine is Julianna's brother or something.

    ReplyDelete
  18. The music was perfect for some of the chapters, I didn't see any Silent ones. The part where Julianna and Sawyer were messing around was heartwarming ? I just think the music helped. They were able to have a little bit of fun.

  19. United Light offical has a Crowning Moment of Awesome

    Sawyer and Julianna made-out. . . In a pile of money.

    ReplyDelete
  20. No, the ending is just a no. I have to know more ! ! ! !

    It was awesome that Sawyer and Julianna worked together, I mean super sleazy but totally awesome.

    Elisa seems to be losing it though

    ReplyDelete
  21. The name for the diner is so perfect. Why didn't Sawyer get his own medicine ?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I was afraid Elisa would lose some of her spunk being around UL for so long but she still stands up for things and it's surprising that she stands up for Juliana. Unlike the other commenters I think the last chapter was from Elisa's POV

    ReplyDelete
  23. No, what a cliff hanger. Congrats on the big word count. If it was all one chapter it would have been overwhelming. I'm assuming Logan was the bald guy.

    ReplyDelete
  24. It will be interesting to see Juliana without Sawyer, but going off what RedRose mentioned maybe the last part is Sawyer's POV. Maybe ?

    ReplyDelete
  25. i am offically addicted to UL, this proves that Sex really does sell. looks like Sawyer and Juliana are getting a little closer. I lol'd at Sid being drunk by 10.

  26. @Linda- Yes, I know I'm sorry. This whole part was written around the ending. I do feel bad. ( a little bit)

    @Tabby-- What do you mean as a Mayer girl ? That says Jason Mraz unless I am missing something. Someone explain it to me !

    @ Natalie- I'll give you more time to figure that out

    @Harley-- I think we will. I'm sure Elisa is dying to know herself.

    @ Lori-- Thank You !

    @ Marigold76 I know, but I have a plan.

    @Sodapops- I think you will never see Caine/Elisa in canon. They both actually have a distain for each other. And not the Sam/Diane kind of distain.

    @OrangeCountyBabe- There is a reason the CW is making so much money. But, this wasn't a turn for me.

    @TastiSmiles-- I don't do research. I am a little spoiled and have never used a public bus in my life because I have always had a car.

    @Harlty-- She didn't want him to say their names. She didn't want *Caine* to bring up their death

    @Jennette - You have no idea

    @Posey_Red-- I wouldn't call having old parent's sad. I am trying to discover more about United Light myself.

    @AprilShowers-- If it was they didn't show it.

    @Darcy_Lover-- Awesome ? I don't know . . . I suppose he is inventive.

    @ Jenny-- I'm glad you liked it. Originally the two chapter were intertwined (some Elisa, Some Juliana) but, I liked it better when Julianna's was linear.

    @Aym-- I'm working on it. I should have posted these a day apart !

    @Sleazy_Sid-- interesting theory. But, Caine's deal with Sawyer is about winning.

    @Petite_B-- I'm glad when you like the music because that is the hardest parts for me to do. When they were messing around it was supposed to be fun.

  27. Rosa seems really sweet but I think she is hiding somethine. Elisa just wanted to tell Caine that she was going to stay ? It seems like she is doing it more for Sawyer than because she wants to.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yes, two Starbucks reference.

    What exactly was Sawyer's ad for, aren't they afraid of getting caught by the cops.

    ReplyDelete


  29. @Hannah- lol, I'll explain that later.

    @ Tiara-- they are all losing it

    @Sunset-- He doesn't have money for it.

    @RedRose-- I don't worry tooo much about POV's.

    @Helenea- Yes, he was. Good catch !

    @Julie R. I don't know maybe. I'm not sure if I could do that

    @Kyra-- Yes, sex does sell but, I do have limits

  30. biteme- Elisa's decsison is a long time coming. I think she had more to say but, didn't. She doesn't want to feel like she needs his permission.

    barista_girl- It was actually an ad on some kind of forum. Free speech and he didn't specifically mention money.
