Oh wait I do have something to blog about and you all are going to hate me for it. I am working on a new special project but, I won't say what it is or give any hints if you ask about it but I have been inspired again.
Here is chapter 18
Chapters 18-20 : "True Colors" by Phil Collins (Don't look to much into this song either I will admit it is a little tongue and cheek (or is is cloak and daggar ?). I kind of like using male voices for some of the songs in this no idea why.
Chapter 21-- Miss Independent by Ne-Yo (I never had a song for this chapter so, JB picked this one. He says it's his ringtone for a 'special someone')
Hmm, another new inspiration. I can't even begin to guess ! I the pink theme is cute.
ReplyDeleteThese chapter are a little short to really see an expansion in the plot, except for maybe Elias's since his disease makes it hard for him to play the games he loves.
ReplyDeleteAre we going to find out why Morgan and Sean are on 17 years older than him.
ReplyDeleteWow, 60 post already. I can't believe we are already on chapter 21. I feel like Slate is being misunderstood by everyone.
ReplyDeleteOh, come on Shawna just one tiny tiny hint ! (we won't know if you lie) !
ReplyDeleteI don't think Nick is going to throw away Wishy and the baseball cap . . . right ?
ReplyDeleteLove me some Phil Collins, Hon ! Great song.
ReplyDeleteI think the thing about these chapters was that they were all just one 'scene' so they are probably building blocks to the next part. I also second a tiny hint.
ReplyDeleteHm, is Mr. Baker just picking out songs ? (:
ReplyDeleteOh, Shawna I want to know what is next. Will JB be helping ? I found Nick's chapter nice because it's like he is transitioning from child to adult. (even though I still have stuffed animals !)
ReplyDeleteSlaughterhouse 5, oh Darcy's mom is a rebel !
ReplyDelete^ in addition was Slaughterhouse 5 mentioned elsewhere in your work ?
ReplyDeleteSlate just can't listen can he ? I wonder if that is his main problem. He is the funniest character next to Darcy.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to see more on Nick's love life, at least he didn't get kicked out of school.
ReplyDeleteWas the Cloak and Dagger the fact the Nick is gay and their flag is colorful ? or no.
ReplyDeleteAhh, not enough Darcy !
ReplyDeleteThe brother-sister relatinship with him and Lila comes across as very real and modern, the writing is great.
I third the tiny hint !!!
odd clarification but is Wishy wearing the baseball cap or does he, you know, have his own ?
ReplyDeleteOh, Mr. Baker a ringtone for me, you shouldn't have !
ReplyDeleteStrange the way Nick went from calling himself a failure to blaming his father.
ReplyDeleteYou know I think every family has a 'Slate'. I wonder who the one in my family is . . .
ReplyDeleteWonder what you will be blogging about for post 100. I've been looking over the pictures, is there some meaning in them ?

ReplyDeleteLL-- I hope you are enjoying skiing ! I felt it was Valentine's Day appropiate.
Natalie-- They are short, I will admit that.
Maylights-- It's because they were 27 and Elias was 9 when they adopted him. And no that is not tongue and cheek.
Biteme-- Aren't most angsty people ?
Carliegh-- In time.
Lorrie C. Me either-- I think he is just putting them to the side.
Caprice-- Me too ! Who doesn't ?
Petit_B-- I'm glad
Julie R. -- No, we have a delicate relationship
Tabby-- In time I will tell.
Princess-- Yes, she is. No, not in this one or in UL. I will talk more about this scene later
MakemeLALA-- THey are cut from the same cloth
VanillaBear-- I will talk more on this later . . .
Trichelle-- Sort of. I really just like that song but, it has been cited by some as the gay national anthem. I wasn't trying to make that connection by using it with Nicholas's chapter.
Darcy_Lover-- I'm sorry. I really am but, no hints !
Alexa-- It's the one that Nick and Darcy wear to radiation.
Sawlisa-- I have some idea, but I don't really know. Nick's picture is the stuffed animal he leans on. Elias's is about the season and about his isolation. 20 is Darcy's mom reading and 21 is supposed to show the prick marks from people who do diabetes testing.
