New Blogger
The jury is still our for me on weather I like the new blogger.com or not. I feel like they have less colors to choose from. Guess I have to learn HTML colors.
Writing
I don't have much to say about chapters 4&5 that was not already addressed in the comments so, I thought I would blog about writing. I think a lot of people want to be or are writers and I love that and more than that I like people who write for themselves. I am trying to turn my web serials into that. I often find myself worrying what readers will think but I can't do that. This is not something I need to sell and have analyzed a Cobalt but, something that I should make my own and into something I love. Maybe that piece of advice will help Lile's writer's block ? (I know I pick on you every post) and if that doesn't help there are always tropes. Oh, the tropes.
Also, something has just motivated me to just write, write, write this serial like I am possessed so I decided to go ahead and post this.
In this chapter I will admit you will see some similar means but trust me they lead to very different ends.Look out for the author's note at the end.
Music Fail
Did no one notice I called the Red Hot Chili Peppers the Red Hot Chili Brothers in the last post ? *headesk*
Chapter 6
I call this the sleepy playlist because all the music is very dreamy and lullaby like for some reason. Also one of these is a Scrubs song
-1- Bad Dream by Keane
-2- Los Angeles by Peter Bradely Adams
-3- Piano Duet from Corpse Bride by Danny Elfman (and Victor and Victoria too I suppose) -4- Ain't No Life by Pilot Speed.
Chapter 6
Oh, i was going to mention in a post that I really like your description of Haley from the last chapter, something about it really stuck out to me.
ReplyDeleteYour advice did help, it's all in the clean up stage now.
Umm, okay is Haley based on David Bowe ? I mean he was kind of Androgynous AMIRITE ?
ReplyDeleteI can't help but to once again feel as if Alan is screwing over Jean, I mean come on ):
ReplyDeleteIt was mentioned I think when you started posting Veritas that Alan was supposed to be Homosexual. . . is that canon now. he seems to really like Haley
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice that music fail, but on the last post one of the songs was missing from the playlist. This playlist however almost did make me fall asleep. It was a real change of pace.
ReplyDeleteI hate to be cliched but. . . Haley's a flesh-eating-robot. . . I know it
ReplyDeleteAlot of this actually reminds me of UL the way the characters are free from social responsibility and then are forced to reckon with their inability to conform by being "reeducated" .
ReplyDeleteI guess in SH-verse no crime goes unpunished
I love the way one guy is described as looking like a douche, LOL
ReplyDeleteWOW, the music was really spot-on ! ! I liked the last song.
ReplyDeleteHaley's Mini-monolouge got really religious for a second. I wonder if that means anything.
ReplyDeleteOMG, does anyone else love that MaTow is starting to theorize (:
ReplyDelete@ RedRose - Oh, well I was just thinking. I mean in pop culture you make a character Athiest for reason. I mean what do we know about religion in this time period anyway ?
ReplyDeleteHe stabbed him . . . in the eye... I just. . . I just. . . yeah
ReplyDeleteAh, I have no idea who Haley is based on. . .I guess Is should brush up on my CP. though the earring part it . . . strange.
ReplyDeleteShawna, you made a mistake. Haley said he wasn't a solider. Also Jean seems really unattractive now.
ReplyDelete^ er, he's just not that into you
ReplyDeleteI think it is an important turning point that Alan didn't leave. He understands that he did something is wrong and wants to be punished. i can't wait to hear your explanation in the next post.
Jean is totaling F*ucking Avery.
ReplyDeleteew, typo
ReplyDeleteLoving the fast updates. . . I hope that doesn't mean it's over soon ))):
ReplyDeleteI almost forgot to say that I almost used the Corpse Bride(IN LL) song but the audio from the movie at the end really bothered me. Also I love Peter Bradly Adams (I think I used him) he makes me love Folk music !!!
ReplyDeleteAh, so much Allegory to real life war that it almost hurts.

ReplyDeleteLinda- let's see if I can break the comment section : squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Maylights - No. I should put a guessing game in each section.
Tabbi - Hm.
LOTRMOM-- Alan is straight.
CaliforniaBlues-- Can I blame Playlist ? I am so made they are destroying all my old playlists by taking away all the songs.
HappyApple-- Cliche away !
Natalie-- Maybe I am getting a little righteous. . .
Picture_Girl-- Some people really do though, lol. No, it's the character talking not me.
sugarcookie-- Me too, I love when I see things from singers I have never heard off
MaTow-- Hmm, IDK.
Redrose--Someone get him an account on a forum, lol. JK !
@Matow, again-- Oh, I will get into that . . .
Constance-- He knew the lens would be there. That is key.
NextMrsCullen--That is actually a clue to who he is based on.
Lorrie-- He but, Alan does not believe him--and even calls him a soldier in the last part. So, I am sticking with how Alan sees things and calling him a soldier because we don't know what he is.
Trichelle-- I'm not really going to explain anything in the next post . . .
I try to leave satisfying and informative responses to your comments but you make it so hard without spoiling or giving hints.
damn, Jean was having his "getting arrested at the end of L&O" moments.
ReplyDeleteOh, let me guess again
ReplyDeleteDraco Malfoy or Jamie Campell Bower ?
The music was awesome for this chapterl I really was afraid this was the end.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteSundance_girl- I hate to get all Word of God on 2 comments (LOTR mom's was the first) but, he is not. As Erik just said "There is no shawshanking going on"
ew,typo- lol, I am using that !
Carleigh-- Never !
Linda Leigh-- I know that bothered me too but, I loved the sound of it. I'd never heard of Adams. I thumbs down a lot on Pandora and then everyone once in a while I hear a song that makes me stop and say "What is this song ? It inspires me."
SilverP-- I wish I had a better response to this comment.
ReplyDeleteFt. Life-- And it was a L&O SVU or CI kind of arrest !
Maylights--I'd guess again.
Tina RO-- It's not.
