I have been hard writing because I have been writing as realistically as possible and that includes a lot of dialogue. I am actually trying to not research as much and just go along and create fiction and not feel so pressured.
In the last few chapters I was once again creating new relationships for the characters and close ones at that. Of course some people say that humans bond in fearful situations. I have to admit at this point I don't know where the story is going but, it's flowed naturally so far so I will let it continue to do that.
Okay, I will jump topics for a whle and say I am really happy to discover lala.com It is another music site and they have so much more variety so it is really helping me along musically.
On to some pictures, I've mentioned a lot of characters so I thought it might be nice to put faces or some kind of attribute to names :
Mr. Reese (Juliana's dad)
Raliegh
And honestly Cecelia is based on the Cecelia in 7th Heaven. Her voice and everything.
In honesty I realized one of my 49 posts was a draft. So this is really more of my 49th post so I could make the next one 50 !
Back to work
Hmm, I don't know any of theses actors. Is Raleigh one of the guys from NSYNC ?
ReplyDeleteHey, Shawna I just want to give you my support. I liked the last chapter but . . . Cliffhanger much ?????
ReplyDeleteThere was a discussion on the forum about your use of relationships, can we expect more of that ?
ReplyDeleteI love me some good ol' fashion blogging. Can you explain a little bit more about the character of Raleigh (am I spelling that right ?) I didn't really get a sense of him.
ReplyDelete^ I kinda felt like Raleigh was a lot like Dillion, IDK.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any picture ideas for what Sam would look like. I can't remember if you did him already.
ReplyDeleteAh ! I can't believe Linda didn't recognize Harrison Ford.
ReplyDeleteI really can't wait for the next update
The way you describe your writing process is like an episode of Bones.
ReplyDeleteShawna, you have once again pulled me in. I'll admit I scrolled down in lieu of an update.
ReplyDeleteI think when you are reading it, it's hard to see all the research. What kind of research did you do in the last few chapters becuase it all flowed pretty well to me.
ReplyDeleteNo Update ): No but it's always the best when you have it just right. I mean we waited forever for chapter 23 and it blew my mind. It's my favorite.
ReplyDelete^ Um, where were you for chapter 11 ? Best chapter for Juliana/Sawyer fans.
ReplyDelete"people say that humans bond in fearful situations."
ReplyDeleteI guess I've been pretty privileged but based on every post-apocalypse movie (or tv show. Lost is awesome) I've seen. That's about right.
Can we expect something big for post 50 ?
ReplyDeleteHey,I know you have a lot to deal with so don't feel rushed. I'll admit I squeed for an update.
ReplyDeleteIs that Chris Evans from the superhero movies ? If so I can totally see him as the kind of guy to threaten Rhett. I mean if he was acting.
ReplyDeleteI'd be so afraid to write a story and not know where it's going but I loved where it's gone so far. It really is a coming-of-age story.

ReplyDeleteLinda-- Oh, I can't believe I forgot names ! THey are Harrsion Ford (iknorite?) Chris Evans from Fantastic 4 and Ashlee Simpson.
Darcy_lover-- I know but, they are so much fun !
Wildehorses-- Kind of . . .
CranberriVodka-- Sure ! Well, really he kind of came out of nowhere but, it didn't make sense that Sam would try to leave on his own without help and I also wanted to put Rhett's past with UL into a context. Yes, Rhett is becoming more likeable but, we can't forget the things he has done. I also wanted to bring Logan back as well.
Sammie L. -- Yes, something like that except, Dillion stayed behind.
Channing R.-- I did, he was based on Brad Beyer. He was someone who looked strong and intimidating on the outside but really Sam is more of a kindred soul, he is an artist.
Biteme-- Linda and I come from a different generation
Carleigh-- Oh, really ? Is it all the processes
Maylights-- I know, I am working on it, I really am.
Kandi-- Actually I did less research that is why it flowed so differently. I did a little bit but, I will explain later. Mostly it is about figuring how far away certain locations are, how long a flight would be and the feasibility of the cost.
HappyApple- I am so glad !
Swalisa-- Honestly I like some of the early stuff too, but I on't hate anything.
Marcia-- Well, that is actually a true psychological phenomenom.
Tina R. Kind of . . .
Bluebelle-- Yes,that's him !
VanillaBear-- If you write a story and don't finish no one will come after you (unless you work for an editor at Cobalt,lol) ! Don't be afraid to write, just do it ! It is so rewarding.
