Minor Character Picspirations...

Pretty Fall image is pretty.


Layla and Zain ( 18, 20)




First things first, I got all of the foreign characters names from Olympic athletes so I had the name Zain before I decided to base him off Zayne from One Direction. There are literally no Lebanese actors out there I could find, so these are the closest I could find.

I'm not sure Layla or Zain come back, but I had these for them. I created them because I needed to flesh out Corinne's circle.


Morris (24)



















Funny story, Morris' name was originally Connor but I changed it because it looked confusing with Corinne's name on the same page er, web space. Also, Morris totally disappears during  the Thanksgiving scene. In my head he leaves before dinner to go somewhere else, but I couldn't write him in.

His picspiration is young  Chris Pratt in Everwood. Everwood ? Anyone ?

Sam Morrow (48)




















This doesn't come back up, but in my head he had a crush on Jonah's mom. His picspiration is Steve Zahn.


Vice 2 Update
I don't know what I'm doing...I'm writing words, but I don't know how they are going to go together. I think I'm having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that this will just be kind of short. I have six chapters done, but some are short and I'm trying to figure out how to pair them with longer ones. I

It's a whole thing.

Chapter 14
This is a long one (and not it's not the end), so take your time . It's a little over 6,000 words and I considered splitting it.


Thanksgiving at the Morrow house took a rocky turn...

  1. OMG OMG OMG OMG, SV. Something in here is VERY similar to something I did for Bellum. AHHH ! It's a super minor thing but still.

    1. I was a little concerned about the LLSH paradox line. Glad to see it's still kicking.

      I'll give you a hint...it's a reference to Nightmare. If no one gets it by the time comments close, I'll tell !

  3. I can not take these cliffhangers anymore ! It was like a double cliffhanger.

    1. So, remember when i said Vice had no cliffhangers...turns out I lied. It has a couple.

  4. Is this the second appearance of third person we've seen ? Is it harder to write.

    ReplyDelete

    1. It's the first appearance and it is SOOOOO hard to write. I say that because I like to give my third person a POV. So, I wanted to write from Abigails POV, but then it went into her mother's POV for some reason.

      But I like it, because sometimes I feel like I use I too much.

  5. Abagail's story is so sad ): Whether she died or not.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Wait . . . what ? What what what what ! DAT ENDING. Well, I'm calling Corrine and Jonah have been dead the whole time.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I'm calling she is in a coma or on life-support. I can't help but to stretch my theory-making skills.

    1. I think Abigail is dead and Blythe has some sort of mental issue. Maybe she just thinks Abigail is still alive.

      Delete
    2. I agree about Blythe having some sort of issue. Like maybe she is a pathological liar and that's why she thinks Mrs. Winters hates her and why she lies for attention to her cheerleading coach.

    3. Blythe definitely has issues...

  8. 90's Chris Pratt looks like Kellan Lutz. Those curls !

    1. Oh, my he does ! But, oh, honey...this is him in 2004-ish.

  9. It is cold as balls out here. reminded me of Rhett's snowman joke in UL2

    ReplyDelete
  10. Abi has to be in a coma. Her parents love and care about her. If she really died on the bridge they would have put out a missing persons.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Did Blythe plan on jumping too ? Or is that giving away to much ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Um, hmm. Is that a spoiler ? I mean not really but that will be answered in the next chapter.

      Delete
  12. This chapter was a little less snark and way more sentimental. I like this line.

    She thinks about bridges and how they’re always made heavily symbolic. About how they take people places they could never get to previously. She thinks of how if there was a bridge to her next step in life she’d spend her whole existence running from it.

    1. What if what Abigail is running from is finally letting go (come or no coma) and dying

      Delete
    2. I want to blog about this later. *makes note*

  13. Is that a little poetic prose I spot when Abigail is describing what she likes about Blythe ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Is it ? To be honest I've just been experimenting with how to keep the story moving quicker while still getting in on the details.

  14. Oh, I hope they go to the Winter's house next.

  15. Oh, I hope they go to the Winter's house next.

  16. The question is why was Blythe reported missing if she's still alive ? Is she alive ? Or maybe she is in hiding.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Well, it looks to me like Blythe pushed Abigail. Then Blythe is able to hold on and when she pulls herself up she feels guilty and runs. When she finds out Abigail is dead/or in a coma. She pretends like she knows nothing and goes to U of Mass like nothing happened.

  17. I think the big clue here is that people keep jumping off the bridge. But how many people live ? I mean know one says jumped off the bridge and died. Also the board says "In our Prayers" not "In remembrance"

    ReplyDelete
  18. . . . well that would explain while there are no lone pictures of Blythe. She clearly survived the fall/not fall.

    ReplyDelete

    1. If I'd revealed the bridge thing earlier I think Fall/Not Fall would have been a good title...

  19. I'm gonna jump on the Vice 2 wagon for a second.

    SV, you mentined before that Vice could be extended. Could there be more stories ? Short serials scare me . . .

    1. I don't know. I mean I have a short story I want to write it, but I've had a hard time getting it together. Plus it ties into Vice 2 so I may wait to write it.

      But also...don't be scared ! I mean Hidden was only 9 chapters as was BH so I'm thinking something in that range.

  20. Blythe's CDS gave me all the warm and fuzzies. . . um, until it didn't.

    1. I know, I know. Blythe honestly wasn't a character until recently for me...I knew I had to create her from about day 4 or so, but I didn't know her name or who she was until recently.

      I really want to like her, but she did a horrible thing.

  21. What is we have it all wrong and it's Abigail who is the crazy one and not Blythe ? #theories.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Did Abigail ever "See" present Jane ? Where they ever in the same scene.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, she saw Jane at the frat party and that's why she kind of freaked out, she just didn't know why she was freaking out, but that's why.
