Short "story" i wrote for a friend while hopped up on caffine. lol

"We have come to capture you, small eared woman, for you are renown throughout the quadrant for your expertise in umox" said the small large eared alien with the pointy teeth.
"You'll never take me alive, little man!" Ilana defiantly yelled, batting away the hand that reached for her bosom which heaved in fear. Backing away from the alien she soon found herself pressed into a corner with no escape in sight.
"Haha! I have you trapped. You will never escape my clutches." the alien said menacingly.
"That's what you think!" Ilana replied, her hand flashing out in a lightning fast strike which ended with the man's overly large and sensitive ears in her grasp.
"Oh, no! Not the ear! My one weakness." pleaded the alien his face clouding over with a look unrecognizable to Ilana's human knowledge. "Ah! now squeeze the cartilage!!"
"What?" Ilana said in confusion.
"Roll the cartilage between your fingers! YEEEAAHHH!! Like that, nice and easy."
"Ummm...."
"Now, harder. Put your back into it. Pull the lobe!!"
"This is making me uncomfortable..."
"No! No! Come on. Just stick your finger in the hole and swirl it around a bit."
"Yeah, no. This is weird."
"Just the tip? I promise you won't even notice."
"I think i'd notice the tip of my finger in some aliens horny little ear."
"Awww, you drive a hard bargain puny eared one. Respect that. I will leave you in peace...this time!"
~The End~

Curses...

So, i've been thinking about my Curses book. I see it as a standalone, but i've got a niggling feeling that it might run over into a monster of the week kinda thing. sigh.

Also, i think i'm doing a more clear cut antagonist this time. Either the Fey, or sorcerers or an order of something or the other.

In other news, the MC is Oppus the first being in existence, so i had to do a bit as far as omnipitence and stuff is concerned. I leaning towards "him" having been downsized far enough back that the information left over from his all knowing days isn't really applicable anymore.

Also Fates aren't exactly in his perview, since their job is to create the threads of existence and keep a record. As far as the future is concerned, free will wins out so things arn't as clear cut as this will happen at this time.

Power wise, i'm leaning towards the ability to do highly complicated works and works that require large amounts of power, but an inability to do things considered basic or even intermediate. he has tot do complicated things to get the same results, which means more prep and larger chance of things going wrong or being interupted.

Curses in this require a part of the casters soul, which they are often only willing to give up for the menace that results, thus when/if the curse plays out or is broken they want their soul piece back with obsessive focus.

Haven't figure out the logistics of blessings or prophecies yet, but i feel like prophicies are simply the results of blessings and curses, i.e. people finding out.

Thinking maybe when the blessing or curses are played out and the parts of oppus are returned to him(not sure how that works) they contain memories of things that happened in the early years of the universe that have exceptional meaning, as far as from the readers perspective, about what it means to be a human being or have compasion or make hard decisions or beauty or faith or love.

I'm still thinking oppus doesn't like in a city and that he may live with the fates. He'll also probably teleport to places where blessing or cursing activity is taking place or be directed there by the fates or use a "device/talisman?" to figure out where to go.

Oppus's motivation for this so far is reclaiming peices of himself and in a way cleaning up a mess he feels responsible for or not allowing parts of himself to be used by otheres.

Oppus also as an all powerful being most likely had to be betrayed in someway to end up deminished, unless he made the choice to live as a "mortal" and then found he couldn't return as easily as he thought he'd be able to.

Thats what i've got so far. getting exciting write. the meds make the thinking so much easier, so yey. haven't tried writing prose yet, but might start soon, if not we'll se where NaNoWriMo finds me.

Smooches!

Pretty sure..

I'm pretty much decided that i'm going to be doing "Wildcard"(working title) for NaNoWriMo 2013.
I haven't decided on the main characters name yet, but i've got a lot of ideas as far as backround story goes. We'll see how far i get. Smooches

Choices..sigh..

So i've narrowed it down to two options for NaNoWriMo.

I'm either gonna do:
"Curses" which is about Oppus, who's basicly the first being, and how he struggles to reclaim pieces of himself via curses and blessings.

or

"Wildcard" (working tittle) which is about a woman who's thrust into a world of deity politics while trying to come to grip with newfound abilities she never asked for.

That's what i've got so far. I'm leaning towards "Wildcard", but if i had to start wwriting tomorrow i'd never get done since i feel like the story will be pretty complicated researchand plot-wise.
I've been wanting to start curses for a while now, though. Killing off Thor is a secret obsession of mine.
Anywasy, both of these tittle are set in the Gate's Crossing Universe so that helps with world building, yey. I'm just a bit worried about timeline issues.

Smooches!

Gearing up for NaNoWriMo 2013...

Yep i'm back on meds after around a 3 year hiatus. So even though I haven't actually finished any of the projects i started over the last few years I'm intent on participating in this years NaNoWriMo.

This'll be my second year. Last years Heart of Stone was waylaid by problems, the biddest of which was unexpected scenes i was unprepared for research wise.

So this year I'm going to plan better by making up plot notes and outlines as extensivly as possible, which is allowable under the rules as long as i don't use previously written prose.

I'm floating around ideas for my premise at the moment. I'd like to start my "Curses" story, but i'm interested in doing a bit of diety focused interactions, as well as working with a female MC.

I'll try to keep updates coming. Smooches!

July came and went..sigh..

So things are finally settled financially, but now it's into the moving places mode. That will hopefully be settled by the end of the year.

In writing news, i've printed out most of what i've got for my stories to help me stay on track and organized.

I've also been doing some "drag" photoshoots, cause i'm awesome.
Here's a pic:
Haven't been singing to much, but when i find a song that i can sing decently i''ll make a video if it comes out good.

Smooches!
