Shawna is running out of blog topics


I wonder if next August I'll be working on brand new original serial...







 Vice Update
So, I think I may have done an overshare on the Vice news last post, so it doesn't leave me with much to blog about for this update. All I can say is I am trying so hard to have a majority of it done before I start posting. Even with outlines I get long periods of stasis, so I'm trying to stop that.

I will say Vice 2 is 12,000 words, but it's not exactly story shaped.

HMLIS Chapter 10 + 11
So, by the time I had brainstormed the Morrows I knew things would get a little...familiar. I think I mentioned this when I first started posting HMLIS that there would be some parallels to people I know. But I can honestly say the friendly, eccentric, tattooed woman married to the moody writer was in no way inspired by anyone I know.


Chapter 12 
Jonah knows.

    1. That fact that this line exists in a movie at all is just hilarious to me.

  6. Can we talk about Corrine's name, is that one of those old-fashion names ?

    1. Well, Corinne's name is because she is a redux of Rin from Blessed Hearts and I could not think of another name for her. When I looked up the spelling for it the only person who really comes up is Corinne Bailey Rae, you really don't hear her name anymore.

  7. I was fooled I was totally convinced Elan Browning was someone I read in college.

  8. Let's say Abigail died on the bridge. I wonder why her family wouldn't put a missing persons report out.

  9. I was rooting Corrine on when she popped that lock. I was like no way are we ending this chapter with another dead end !

  10. This chapter had more pun-related titles. How is the Vice 2 Title coming along ?

    1. Um, it's not. Going of Lile's last comment about getting chapter headers from songs, I may start looking into song lyrics for titles.

  11. I wonder if Mr. Morrow knows anything about the suicides since the bridge was one of the last things he wanted to see.

    ReplyDelete
  12. . . . or maybe a car hit her and threw her off the bridge #justsayin'

  13. The question is does Jonah Morrow eat at Taco Bell ? I imagine Corrine is a Dos Locos taco girl.

    1. I'm guessing Jonah just had water.

      Delete
    2. Can you imagine if he tried the coffee they serve with the new Taco Bell breakfast

      Delete
    3. I imagine Corinne got loaded nachos and forced Jonah to eat some.

      Lol, you guys know him too well.

  14. So, Abigail died the day after Valentine's day. I wonder if it was some sort of boyfriend drama.

  15. Oh, is the Bon Jovi song Livin' On A Prayer

    Whoa, we're half way there
    Whoa, livin' on a prayer

    1. I actually don't know...it's probably Don't Stop Believin' because of symmetry or something.

  16. Death by Drunk Taus - That is an awesome band name.

  18. Are we ever going to learn about Corrine's parents and why they had to give her up ?

    ReplyDelete
  19. What if there is something about the bridge that makes people jump.

  20. So, no one read too much into my comments about theories, I just have no idea how to respond. But, some of you are on to something. I promise with each chapter you will get more answers.
