Almost at 50 !

Wow it is so crazy I can't believe I am almost at 50 posts. And I thought I wouldn't last past 12. I do have a new chapter and it is somewhat short but, I will update soon. It just felt like a good place to end it.

Before I post the link I do have a funny story to tell. My niece has been visiting me for the weekend and after spending all day taking her to experience L.A I was doing some work at my desktop and she was watching my TV, which I hardly watch and leave unplugged most of the time.

Anyway, when I went to get a glass of white wine (my own personal muse) I caught a glimpse of one of the actresses who I thought would be perfect to "be" Julianna. It was Jenna Boyd on an episode of the TV show Criminal Minds.

The funny part ?

The episode is called "minimal loss" and she plays a girl in a cult on a commune who is in an arranged marriage with the leader of the cult, an older man (If you call Luke Perry old !). The even funnier part ? Than founder of the cult, who was in jail for tax evasions name was Kane. I just thought it was a funny coincidence. I watched the whole episode with my neice but, trust me I didn't get any ideas.

I've been wondering if it makes more sense to put the playlist on the website instead of in the blog ? I'm not really sure.

Anyway here it is

Chapter 24

  2. I think Cecila having to face her faith as an illusion is not as hard as Juliana going back to Caine. I think it's because one is more physical. IMO

  3. I just watched the episode of Criminal Minds, Luke Perry looked creepy ! Please don't get any ideas from that Shawna.

  5. "If there was one thing I had learned through this was not to fear the unknown but to embrace it."

    - I totally see that as the theme of UL

  6. The plan seemed so perfect. It's so sweet how they are going back for Cecila's mom. Does Juliana know that Cece is Sawyer's sister ?

  7. I would have thought Cecila would have gone to get her mom, only because Mrs. Winston might listen to her daughter more than her in-laws.

  8. Maybe because Juliana doesn't really know her but I kind of want them to save Rosa.

  9. This way to short Ms. Harrison. Gotta love Juliana cursing out Rhett. I was reading this chapter to my Aunt and she said you've been in her mind again, LOL.

  10. Whenever I see you write "end it" I always think we are at the end. I'm a big Rhett/Juliana person and I don't know why.

  12. Hey Shawna,

    I just started reading this and I am addicted. Juliana is such a beautiful character. I can't wait to see what comes next.

  13. It was sad how scared Juliana was to go back, I almost felt for her.

    PS

    Chapter 24 is in the sidebar !

  15. @ Maylights-- I know but, it just felt like a good place to end. Although I suppose I could have posted two chapters at once.

    @Carleigh-- I can see that but, one thing they are not discussing is Caine is her father and she cared about him and know she is feeling guilt about it.

    @Talia-- I wont, trust me. Sometimes I get inspired by things I see but, for me it was just entertainment

    @RedRose-- Thank You !

    @CranberriVodka-- Me too. One thing I wanted to do was make all of Juliana's experiences worth something.

    @ Lorianna-- Yes, she does but really it is the elephant in the room for the two of them. Cecelia has a close relationship with her mother and I it was hard for her to leave her plus, she is pregnant and needs her mother.

    @ Tina R.-- Hi, Tina !Mrs. Winston is one of those women who loves her in-laws as if they were her own, especially seeing as they all lived together.

    @ Swalisa- Rose left the commune with Sawyer and Elisa earlier so, she is not there.

    @Jenny-- Hi Jenny ! I had to re-read some past chapter and I noticed when Rhett was upset with Juliana he curse around and at her alot so, it made sense that she would pick up on that. It was so short, I wonder what it could have been that made your aunt say that? I hope your aunt is doing okay.

    @ Tabitha-- When did I write end it ? If I do it is just a phrase.

    @Natalie-- It just felt right, Juliana has never really been a brave person and thinking about what she went through it seemed natural. The sidebar thing,that was a mistake, I've been rushing so much with my other work that is why there are less songs/pictures. But, I may keep putting the new chapter in the sidebar for easy navigation.

    @ VanillaBear-- I love your username, it makes me smile ! I know I need more too !
