I feel like I need to say hi because it has been so long.
@ Lile--
You did a little shout out for me so, I thought I might do one for you ! You have really been an inspiration to me. I have been battling with writers block for a while and it's causing a traffic jam . . . if that makes any sense. A single block has been keeping me from where I want to go. Can't wait to see what you get up to.
Layout
I really wanted to update for Valentine's Day but, I just wanted to hold on to what I was working on a little longer. Either way, I want to use this layout for a while.
What's New ?
Before I get into OHG, I want to talk about the ideas that are kind of floating in my head. In fact I took a little cue from LiLe
En Moritas
I'm sorry if that was really awful. I considered just flashing the cover images.
As I work on OHG, I realize how much I miss short form writing, A few plotlines about the Veritas characters kept creeping up on me so, I decided why not ? And I decided to write some short stories. I won't say to much but, En Moritas will basically be some 1,000 - 3,000 word stories. I know what they will all be about but, I am only 800 words deep in one of them. It won't be posted soon but, I loved Lile's trailers so much I thought it might be fun to make one.
Caught In Your Paranormal Romance
Ah, the paranormal romance. There is no real progress on this story but, I thought I might update you. I keep the idea of a paranormal romance in the back of my head and over the past few weeks I have come up with one good solid character. They have a name, a personality and everything. I just need the right plot for them and supporting cast. (yep, no gender clues)
I know exactly what the "paranormal" aspect will be. I also have some of the romance worked out but no real story. I may start plotting some items soon.
This will most likely be another short story. Maybe 5 or 6 chapters, if that.
OMG, OHG
I have to say this serial started out as just one simple short story (Teenage Dream). I really thought I had some meat and topical-ness for this story but, it has been harder than it thought. I have recently found some new inspirations so, it has gotten better.
There is definitely a reason most "dirty realism" is written in short story form. It is hard to write in simple prose with characters who are supposed to essentially "do nothing" for so long.
But, I do love these characters so much so, it's all good. Plus, I have some great music I plan to use in the future. I have some songs I could listen to over and over again.
Chapter 3
-1- Home by Sheryl Crow
-2- Broken by Lifehouse
-3- Need You Now by Lady Antebellum
-4- Healing Begins by Tenth Avenue North
I though this was your "wedding" themed layout ! Cody seems like he will be an interesting character.
ReplyDeleteOMG, OHG
ReplyDeleteI love that phrase. I can't help but to feel that Juliana should try to be nicer to Mrs. Clarke because she is letting her live there rent-free.
The little mention of Sawyer and Elisa made me miss them a little bit.
ReplyDeleteWell, we better make some room for the Cody/Juliana fans because I am definitely one !
ReplyDelete^ Trader, LOL JK
ReplyDeleteYeah, more Latin. I really do want to see how it ends the Mimics were such a cool idea.
ReplyDeleteIs there a reason that Juliana can not go to the base with Rhett. I am so afraid something bad is going to happen to him.
ReplyDelete"do nothing" for so long."
ReplyDeletethey did it on Seinfeld for 10 seasons... i bet you saw that one coming.
Oh, I saw Haley in the trailer does that mean we will learn more about what happens to him ?
ReplyDeleteI can't help but to feel that Julie's time would be better spend looking for a job to help out the family than just helping Jocely
ReplyDelete. . . who I think just misses her son.
ReplyDeleteHey, that country music didn't sound to bad. It is going on my Ipod. I think Juliana is having culture shock with all the southern people but Rhett is not even helping.
ReplyDeleteSuper excited for all the new stuff. I feel like the butterfly on En Moritas means something.
ReplyDeleteI feel do bad for Juliana she always get the rough end of things, she should find her own place if Rhett doesn't have to deal with his family why should she.
ReplyDeleteCan the Paranormal Romance have a kick ass trailer too. It really ups the ante !
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see a new post, all the hearts are so pretty, it looks like a real valentine ! Was the writer's block in this section ?
ReplyDeleteThe trailer was perfect except it proved that Ke$ha can't sing. I hope we see more of Crazy Uncle Jean, LOL
ReplyDeleteNo ! How could Juliana tell Cody something like that. I bet he is the one spreading rumors about her.
ReplyDeleteWith Juliana dealing with a miscarriage I really think Rhett should try to be more understanding I mean he choose to go to Alaska.
ReplyDeleteis "Dirty Realism" and "Kmart Realism" the same thing ? I get my 'isms' mixed up sometimes
ReplyDeleteI really feel as if I have to choose a "side" to be on when it comes to Jocelyn and Julie. I mean Julie seems so detached from them but I think Rhett should send her money so she can atleast buy her own soda.
ReplyDeleteI guess everyone in comments is ganging up on him !
Since you asked Lile, do you have any favorite characters ?
ReplyDeleteYou almost posted on the one month anniversary of V-day, that must count for something.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteLinda-- Good idea-- I will call it the wedding themed layout. Even though the wedding is still a way off . . .
Carleigh-- That is a good point.
Princess-- Me too. I got really nostalgic writing about them.
Biteme-- I can make room for everyone.
Tanya- lol. I read your comment as trader joe's for some reason.
CranberriVodka- Thanks hon !
HappyApple- He didn't want her to go because there would be nothing for her to do there. Also, it's not recommended by the Coast Guard, IRL.
Lorrie-- I didn't see that one coming but, Larry David is a genius ! Plus, I'm not as funny as Jerry Seinfeld.
Mansfield-- Hm, I don't know . . .
Maria-- I suppose some of this will be answered later. I love your name,hon. I may use it one day.
Makemelala- I try and keep it in small doses.
sugarcookie-- I mean it could mean something but, TBH it was one of the shapes pre-programmed in photoshop.
picture_gurl-- What a good point.
Trichelle- I am so already planning it in my head. Making trailers is fun.
Coraline-- No, not this section. I have had this chapter done for 4 months or so.
californiablues-- The whole song is actually pretty decent.
ReplyDeleteNillalatte- I am going to go ahead and say he isn't spreading rumors about her.
Sawlisa-- Yeah, this is pretty true.
LindaLeigh-- Yeah, they are the same things. I'm not sure which phrase I like better.
Natalie-- I mean, in my head he does send her money but, I feel like Juliana is still trying to assimilate with everyone else around her. It has a lot to do with her personality which I hope to get into later.
Topaz-- I do but, I hate to play favorites. I actually love Jean as a character but, I never seem to be able to write a lot of him.
Cookie32--Okay, good ! Although, now I want a spring theme for the blog. . . t
