Let's Try Something ?





After the last comment section I considered calling this Sentinel Lost to give it a cool anime-style title but that felt a little disingenuous and I had already made this.


Last year I made a lot of little cartoons to waste time while not writing and this is one of my favorite. I've shared it before and I still love it.

I really can't pinpoint how this idea came about exactly. I started writing it in late 2016 but this picture pretty much sealed Xael in my head.

I'm not going to share too many inspirations for TLS , but  my Mermaid board on Pinterest is now unlocked.

Serial Update
I feel like I need to apologize for my farewell  freak out after finishing  Sweet Prince. At the time I felt like I'd never come up with anything again but now it feels oddly...stupid. 

I've just been dipping my toe back into the Vice world and it's sucked me in. Lile said  she writes Lux Aeterna for herself and I feel that way about Vice. I have no idea why I'm drawn to writing these characters over and over again but I can't stop. I would never say they feel real or anything  but I like exploring them and when I do writing feels fun again. I guess ?
 
I say that to say that the Lucely serial is closing in at 14,000 words.....

Future!Vice
 ....and I also started writing another Future!Vice thing and got out 6,000 words  and I'm really into it. The playlist is giving me life. The only thing is that in order to really make Future!Vice  work I'm not sure it can be cannon. I really just want everyone to be in their HEAs/HFNs but in order to make a plot for Future!Vice bad things have to happen to the characters. I'm just not sure I know how to write sad anymore...not since I killed off Minnow in Veritas.

The Lost Sentinel

You: So, Shawna what do you think attracted you to the Human Weapon trope ?

Me:







I want to post a little more of TLS but I think I'll have to go on a brief hiatus soon to really work on getting back into this story. I've sort of reached a writer's block I need work through. I may post some Veritas TDOSHs. I started working on one and guys...re-reading it has been worse than Sundays.

Recap:
He's a human weapon created to fight alongside Princess Xael on the planet Caelus...

All The Serials : GIF Edition


Mermaid Wrap Up
So, that concludes my unplanned mermaid interlude. It all started because I had this recurring image in my head of two  reunited merman squeezed in a big Rubbermaid type container together and fleeing from something and the story kind of grew from there. I also think the phrase "punk ass bitch" is kind of funny and I wanted to open a serial with it....okay on to the GIF post !




Let's do some SHV writing updates and talk about all the serials (....I'm just  calling everything with more than one part to it a serial now)



Thinking about all my unfinished serials/flash fics



I have so many serial and flash fics...but they are mostly half done. It's fine.


My muse and I every time I have a new idea



My general thought process when I write a Vice novella


My Haley/Luce Vice Story is going to be a mystery and I'm pantsing it and I'm...not...sure..it's working.


Me, trying to figure out the Vice universe timeline and how old everyone would be / I want them to be

Literally how I stare at my 2 year old unfinished UL short story

I do have some of FZA finished


It has a title but I'm still chewing on it so here is an aesthetic to hold you over and lol, this aesthetic  features character inspys for characters I haven't even written or named.



Okay, back to the writing cave



Legacy
IDK where this flash fic came from, I just wanted to write a little something about Charlotte Dory.

In Which I Talk About The Thing


Me: Okay, no more Vice stories. I am going to concentrate on FZA and finishing this UL thing.

Internet:




More Vice
As I inadvertently revealed in my last post, I just can't seem to quit the Vice world. I somehow managed to bang out a Vice flash fiction. Also I have outlined a novella that exists in the same timeline as Built For Sin about Luce and Haley. This Luce/Haley story was one of those rare occasion when scenes and characters would not leave me alone and I wrote it all out just to get it out of my head. It's going to be a feat for a few reasons that I'm not going to say much about it.

AquaWorld 3
Welp, it was bound to happen again...I had this section all nicely edited and arranged in the site...and I forgot to save it ):  Luckily I didn't have to start from scratch !

Recap: Jacob makes friends with Soren and together they are trying to locate Luka so they can get them out of the park.
