Picspirations: Nicholas Hoult in Good Lighting


Chapter 1
So, chapter 1 was written when I was about six chapters in. As I was doing research about halfway houses for other parts I ended up reading a lot of exposes and white papers ( I go down the craziest rabbit holes) that basically said Halfway houses--particularly Florida ones-- are horribly run, dangerous and don't work. I'd originally envisioned halfway houses as better than jail but when I realized that wasn't true I wanted to write a little bit of that. The thing about OHG is it completely ignores Juliana's experiences in jail.


On a happier note....I think it's picspiration time! Here's the thing about UL. It's almost impossible for me to find picspirations but I thoght I'd try to get as close as I can. I'll do more characters as we are introduced to them.




Juliana Reese, 21
 I imagine a young Rose McIver. Juliana's been through a lot so I mostly see her as Rose McIver in The Lovely Bones movie.



 Rhett Clark,  22
If I don't update soon just assume I'm looking up Nicholas Hoult pictures. Although he is one of those people who looks different depending on the lighting.
 
Now, this is how Hoult actually looked at 22

But in my head Rhett's a little more:

Oh, and I like this one because...Rhett has a 14-year-old sister and I like this pose for siblings.

Daniel Reese, 66

Tessa Holiday, 42


I think that's all for now. I'll probably have more as we get into it.

Recap
Juliana struggled to survive in jails and halfway houses in Florida but now she's back in Connecticut with her Dad, Tessa and their daughter and working at a diner. She's  invited to a Memorials' Day party in Freeport, LA to see Rhett Clark. A boy she hasn't seen in three years...

(Okay, I lied about the double chapter thing. These chapters are longer than I thought)

Let's Go !



So, I've kind of been away longer than I planned and this post has been sitting in draft for a while so it's a little outdated. But  I've been working on UL and I have a lot of short chapters to get us started so let's go.... 




That Outline

I'm just learning the art of the outlines and a while ago Lile asked me to show a little bit of my outlines and since I can't show my UL outlines I thought I'd share some of my Vice outlines. The UL ones are a little bit more detailed, but you'll get the basic ideas. This is what the outline for the last few chapters of Compulsion looked like:

The colors represent the POVS...and the MK is for Maxwell's storyline and the AG is for Alan's storyline. Although...looking back on it I'm not sure why Maxwell's is MK and not KM.

I mentioned I have two outlines for UL. The second outline is more of a timeline because as I said we are going to be doing some time jumping.
 
United Light Chapter 1 & 2 
We are going to start off with quite a few double chapter posts because we have some shorties ! We are now going to step back in time to a few weeks after the events of UL2 where Juliana has been sentenced for stealing evidence out of a police car (for Sawyer when he was making meth) and prostitution / soliciting sex online when she was trying to make money to pay Caine.
