WELCOME TO A GIF POST !
When I saw a new LiLe post with more Litany Lane stories!
Re-living the Fierro/Clara-ness of LL with TDOLL
What I'm waiting for everytime LiLe writes anything with Fierro and Clara
When LiLe mentions An American Fairytale
Reading old IRL drama play out in Lile's old blog comment sections while reading T-DOLL
Okay, on to me...
Why I rebooted Veritas
When I re-read some of the intimate scenes from Veritas
When I posted the first chapter of Vice
and realized I had to keep writing the rest
What it's been like writing 2 serials at once
When I start working on new Vice Chapter
15 Minutes Later
When I finish a chapter of Vice
When I turn word count back on
and see my chapter is only 2,000 words long
When I first mentioned New Thing
When I get frustrated with Vice and switch to New Thing
When Erik asks me how it's going with New Thing I promised readers
When I find a good song for a future scene in New Thing or Vice
When I get frustrated mid-chapter and take a "snack" break (I'm not breastfeeding anymore)
Then
What goes on in my brain when I give my characters angsty, depressing backstory
Looking online for names for characters in New Thing
When I talk to Mary's Doctor (The only adult I see regularly besides Erik and Laura and The G-Moms) about how I do this for free in my spare time.
When I see your comments and you catch the little things, pick favorite quotes, give me feedback and I'm pumped to get the next chapter ready.
When I actually start on the next chapter
Why I (and Lile, I suppose) keep doing this
How I imagine you guys react when I don't post a chapter
for more than two weeks
for more than two weeks
When you realize this is one of those times
But smile.....
Because I have a trailer for New Thing...

How My Light is Spent
First things first, please excuse the cheesy Windows Movie Maker-ness of it all...but I like visual representations.I hate to tease you all, but this is hm, how do I put this ? No where near finished. I only have about 2 and a half chapters, no official outline and a lot of the characters still don't have names, but my goal is to have some headway by December. I just wanted to share some of it with you all. Also, yes, the trailer is intentionally pretty generic. I like to keep my cards close to me.
In better news, I'm in love with the HISML playlist. It's an interesting mix.
Vice
I have really hit a stride with Vice, I mean the whole thing is outlined, but I needed more time to figure out a few plot points in the chapters I am writing. I know where I want to go, but I'm working on how to get there.
Back to the trenches for me !
Honey, This looks so cute ! There is plenty of room in the trenches.
ReplyDeleteI'll needs lots of room...and coffee
DeleteWOOT ! GIF post ! So cool that New Thing has a name. It looks so awesome.
ReplyDelete(:
DeleteWhy can't blogger allow gifs ? I'm seriously dancing with my computer right now while playing the tailor. IZ PUMPED
ReplyDeleteRight ? I'm this close to switching to comment Luv...it would be a good way to distract myself from the trenches
DeleteOh, this sounds like such a fun turn for you SH. Is this going to be more like IVB ?
ReplyDeleteI thought about this some and it may be, only because it will switch perspectives.
DeleteMkay, I saw a violin did anyone else see that. So this is related to BH ?
ReplyDeleteYeah, but his name is Jonah Marrow.
DeleteHm, yeah....about that...
DeleteAw, I didn't think the intimate scenes in Veritas were that bad. How My Light Is Spent is a great name.
ReplyDeleteThanks !
DeleteAlso, Honey if you have a character name Jonah and this takes place in New York. . . we might be sharing the same muse.
ReplyDeleteWell, it doesn't take place in New York....if that helps. The SH-LILE Paradox Line strikes again.
DeleteFirst . . . PUPPIES WANT WANT WANT
ReplyDeletesecond . . . HMLIS WANT WANT WANT
that is all.
squeeeee ! So exciting.
ReplyDeleteI know !
DeleteWow, Shawna this looks like it will be a great next step for you. I suppose the first thing I pick up on is the use of first person in the trailer. Now this is nothing new for you (Alan Gray and all) but I feel as if this next step serves to illuminate the young adult pressures and anxieties you find yourself thinking about since becoming a parent.
ReplyDeleteNow let's focus on the "My father" aspect. This demonstrates a strained relationship between the protagonist and his family so I imagine the secret and mystery of this book will be tied up in an internal struggle between good and evil with a focus on post-millineum quandaries with a touch of nihlisim in the face of opposition.
anywho, this looks totes awesomsauce! #bigfan <:
Wow, Mansfield you are perceptive....I mean really perceptive. But, I'm actually toeing the line on the POV thing. I think a 1st to 3rd POV switch is in my future.
DeleteWhat is that last emoticon ?
The music in the trailer has me so amped ! Is this just a taste of an awesome playlist ?
ReplyDeleteYes ! And that's actually one song, it's called It's My Life by Tim Meyers
DeleteWow, this is a big 360 from Veritas. I was expecting more cyberpunk.
ReplyDeleteIt is not even close to cyberpunk...which is why going between them is so complicated at times.
Deletehello ms. harrison im very excited to be able to read one of your stories from the start people are so inspired and excited by your form of artwork you are a true artist
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you ! So honored you have time to stop by and comment on my blog, thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI will be watching that trailer on loop looking for clues and hints. Will this take place during the winter ?
ReplyDeletewait . . . I remember SH saying something about book titles taken from poetry. Is this from a poem ?
ReplyDeletewait . . .
Delete*jumps ship before they discover too much*
