Submissions...

So...
Less than three press offers open submissions like all the time, but i'm not finished with anything..sigh

They do have submissions for anthologies on a semi regular basis and have recently posted info on their next Fairytale's Slashed anthology. the deadline is March 2016, and stories are between 10,000 and 20,000 words. So i'm going to attempt to finish something and submit it.

I looked up fairytales and found the AT/ATU index, but I think the system designed by Vladmir Propp will be more illuminating and helpful to me.

I'm gonna do something in the Curses series i think, since i was going fairytale heavy on that one.

Wish me luck!

Been a while sine my last post...sigh

Sigh. This year has been rather problamatic for me. Going to school didn't really work out the way i'd hoped it would (read: I didn't go to school, never even signed up for classes).

I didn't finish any of the books i've been working on and have spent the last couple months brain storming a book i've barely started, although i did write a short bit sorta prologue thingy.

I haven't really been inspired recently to do a regular postiing series but i'm hoping i'll get back into it.

Smooches All!

Excitement!! ^_^

So, i'm super excited about the new story i'm working on The Aegis Geas". I finished writing the plot last night and realized i needed to add another character as a dues ex machina? i have no idea what that means. lol Anywasy i need a character to keep any of the nice characters from murdering someone and alienating the readers.
So i decided i should make that character a demon. But then i realized that i had included another character to wrap things up in the way i wanted but that he had no reason to be around since he wasn't anywhere else in the story and since the final event happens without any notice i needed a reason for him to be there.
So i've decided to ad the male character to the story in other places as a love interest for a different character and changed it so that he's brought into the final event by the demon character who is now and angel with a rather exciting, for me, reputation.
I also have bogarted a bit more mythology and combined it with some mythology so one of the antagonistic factors in the story can be resolved in a way i find amusing.
SPOILERS: It involves stupidity and then cowering.  

Hopefully, i'll be able to finish this one i feel like the method i'm gonna try to use for it might be the right one for me. ^_^


I'm also thingking about doing the questionaire i posted before for a few character and doing a psdo interview thing on here.

Anywasy smooches, i'm going back to bed!
lol

I've been hiding, i admit... ^_^

Kay so at the moment i've started a new project... again...

I only got to 4,000 words with NaNoWriMo and i seriously just want to finish one story.

...
DO YOU HEAR ME, MUSES?!? ONE FREAKING STORY!!!

...
Anywasy, new project Tentatively titled "The Aegis Geas". I'm super excited about it. It's leaning towards being more of a romance, but i think it has a decent chance of being a good read.

I'll post more info as i get farther along in the writing.

Smooches ALL!

Sigh. Finally Chapter 1 is done for City Of Mirrors.

I think i've finished chapter one for City of Mirrors. the word count is around 3400 at this point.
yey me. today added another 503 words.

I think that's enough for now. Gotta work out the next flash back which starts the next chapter.

Kay..

Working on a new (for me) writing style, and City of Mirrors update.

So I added another 405 words to City of Mirrors, yey me! I'm about to introduce a new character. ^_^

In related news, i think for Nanowrimo i'm gonna try and write the story out completely as possible without dialogue and then go back through and fill in the dialogue. Just an idea.

thats about it for now. Still haven't figure out what i'm doing for nanowrimo this year. sigh.

Laterz!

Plot danger and beasties!

So i'm starting to feel that i've gone from making my story bigger to making a different story all together. It seems to be a thin line between the two.

In other news, filling out my beastiary and i'm at like 20 races? i need more, more i tell you!!!

k laterz!

Okay so i've got a plot problem...

I rcently decided to add the Alice in Wonderland plot to the City of Mirrors book and it incedentaly cut out the romantic plot line for the MC. Now i have to figur out how to get a copy of a dead persons memories into the antagonist/love intrests brain. sigh... hmm maybe i can have him try to steal the bunny then get possed, then have the sister die, then have the other sister get the bunny?
...
But then the sister kinda dies for no reason..
..
oh! or maybe the sister dies so the guy can get the bunny instead of losing the bunny first and then dying? sounds good!

and that folks is how i write a story plot!
You're Welcome!
^_^
lol

Superheroes on the horizon?

So, i've known for a while that superheroes were part of my earth universe, but i couldn't figure out their purpose, where exaclty they'd fit in geographically wise, or what exactly they were.

I mean most cites are run by a pantheon of god-avatars. Plus the supernaural community polices it's own.

I recently , we'll say discovered, discovered that superheroes are superhumans and i define them as humans who have access to parts of their brains that base line humans don't have acces to and who develop abilities relating to telekinesis, advanced thought processing speed, and/or enhanced senses.

My superheroes are only those that gain abilities form using parts of their brain. Not from magic, or genetics.

I'll be writing a post about humans and the population of earth in the gates crossing universe soon.

Anywasy, that's it for now.
TTYL

Great character questionaire. ^_^

It’s a great idea for you, the author, to try and get to know your characters before you begin writing. We asked a team of scientists, mathematicians, and creative writing gurus from around the world: “What’s the easiest way for writers to get to know their characters?” Hands down, the experts all agreed the single best way is to fill out our 46-Question Character Questionnaire”:

CIty of Mirrors: Writing Journal #1

Hey,
Here's the first entry of my new writing journal for City of Mirrors.
Now I've already made some progress on writing the story and it been sitting at a word count of around 2466.
As far as notes go i've got some written down on paper, but the ones i've got in word processing run around 1480.
Today i added around 264 words in notes. So i'm up around 1750, yes i'm gratuitously inflting my word count. yey me.

Also yey me i didn't realize that i'd written the intro seen to the "vampires" which i was having trouble (writers block).

I've been keeping you updated about my issues with feeling my story's to character interaction driven and not enough action or dramas.

SOOO, i've decided to switch my backstory around a bit, in order to add more drama to the present of the story.
What does this mean for ya'll possible future readers. it means that there's gonna be a heavy Alice in Wonderland theme running through the book, which will carry over a bit into the book featuring Aideen and Miyuki's story. sigh. Hopefully this'll be the only major adjustment that i'll have to fit in.
I;m just happy that i hadn't written anything yet that adding this woulda required a major rewrite.

That's it for today. later i'm gonna reread what i've got since i've obviously forgotten most of the written story.

Anways, smooches!

Oops, it's been awile!

KK,
So I moved to the Big Island, and have been settling in.
My goal is to finish a book by November 1st, so i'll be able to start a book for NaNoWriMo 2014.

I've been lazy tho and i haven't written even one word yet, although i have been doing some research for additional drama and action.

I'll be trying to finish City Of Mirrors before November and here are some changes I've decided to make:

Added an Alice in Wonderland action plot line.
Ran into a problem with the Fey and how long they can stay on Earth and why...sigh that ones gonna give me writers block, i just know it.

Guess that's about it.

Gonna try to do a Blog Journal thingy on my writing progress. It'll try to be someplace where i update ya'll on my word count and my process and tribulations of trying to get this book done.

Wish me luck!

demons & Angels 2014

figuring out the 56 species of demons as well as their "creation" and society. so far i've got 38 left. i'll post them later or at least some.

Hmmm...demons, councils, and other story ideas....

So i just finished reading the Sentinel books by author Suzanne Johnson, and i found myself engrossed as always by clasifications and how they can be used in forming councils for dynamic story plots.

Since i've been wanting to add some conflict in my stories other than bad guy of the week i'm super interested on twisting this my own way.

I'm thinking i'll put it into use with a demon series.
My werewolves stories have a council but it focuses on dynamics with in that society only.
My wildcard series has city councils of god-avatars, but they don't have an overarching neccesity to work with other cities or have a world wide network or council.
My overarching multiverse has the "elemental" "gods" as a tye of council, but their use is more of a flavor or spice adding effect.
My curses series has the supreme being of my multiverse, but he doesn't report to anyone or need to nessecarily have alliances.

So this leaves me with using the idea for demons.

Why not use the idea with the fey(which i'm seperating from elves, btw)?
Because the way i'm using the already established courts mythos.

Mybe i'll do something with demon angel hybrids? or demon human hybrids? idk yet but it's churning. main goal would be to have the mc become involved in the politics of the demon realm(unsure yet if thats literally placed in a demon realm or what...). Would like to take some insperation from the Ao No Exorcist series. we'll see. i'd rather not have the deamons be exorcist movie deamons...

Well thats all for tonight, and yes i know i keep changing the spelling on demons and deamons...lol typing is so random.
Laterz!

Upcoming Projects for 2014!

Kay so I'm moving at the beginning of 2014, and my plan is to begin writing after settling in.
I've got 5 projects in the works, as those of you who follow the blog know.
My main focus will be on "Wild Cards", "Seeds of Prophecy", "Curses", and "City of Mirrors".
"Heart of Stone" might end up becoming a novella, since the writing style i'm planning on using for it is a bit "fluffy". lol

Anywasy, see. ya'll then! ^_^

The Wild card intro....

-Wild Card-

My mother was Beautiful.

Not the kind of beauty that a girl innocently displays, or the beauty she then cultivates as a woman only to mourn its passing as it inevitably fades.

No my mother was Beautiful with a capital B.

Her’s was the kind of beauty that would draw the eye, and bring a smile to even the most jaded of faces. Beauty that radiated from her, and not just figuratively, but literally since she possessed a magical glow. Again, quite literally.

But as a young girl I knew little of magic and what it meant. All I knew is that she was beautiful, and that someday I too would be beautiful.

How did I know this? You may ask.

Because she would tell me on those few occasions I would sit at her vanity, covered with its brushes and exotic perfumes, and watch her get ready for one event or another.

For a moment before my father came to escort her, she would gently embrace me and tell me that one day it too would be my turn to beautiful.

And oh, how I would long for that day. Lying awake at night in my room thinking of what the future would bring. For I had seen in my mother even at such a young age what beauty could bring.

Beauty which brought light to the darkness.

Beauty that had soothed the frightening beast that was my father.

 

Beauty which had lead strange men to invade our home one night, and smother her in adoration even as they cut her open before my eyes.

*Here ends the intro or preface, i guess....*
For this book i Intend to start each Chapter with a preface simmilar to this written in the voice of a historical or fictional historical figure, think Cleopatra, Alice(of "Alice in Wonderland"), etc. That'll break things up but won't follow the pattern of my other gate's crossing series which preface Chapter with flashbacks. My "Heart" series opens with a flash back prologue, and my Omoria series has no flashbacks at all.

NaNoWriMo 2013 starts today!!

Wishing everyone participating luck. I don't plan on finishing this year, but i'm gonna attempt to start working on my entry tentativly titled "WildCards".
smooches!

Heidi Jutras - J'pourrai Pas (original) live

I love Heidi, and follow her on youtube.
She released this original song earlier this week and it's amazing. lyrics posted below.

Paroles / Musique: Marc-André Sauvageau & Heidi Jutras
(***ENGLISH***Down below you'll find a google translation but it's not 100% accurate haha! The song basically talks about not being able to forget someone you loved.***)

J'pourrai pas

Épuisée je suis
Mon corps vidé de lui
Je voudrais m'endormir
Mais mon cœur fait beaucoup trop de bruit

Humiliée je suis
De mon amour pour lui
Je voudrais parvenir
À m'enfuir, mais partout il me suit

Comme si je n'avais pas assez souffert
Il faudrait que je sois marquée au fer
Son nom sur ma peau, que jamais je n'oublie
Que même avec le temps, je l'aimerai pour la vie

J'pourrai pas survivre, j'ai trop mal
Je fais juste y penser, ce n'est pas normal
Je n'arrive plus à respirer
J'pourrai pas l'oublier
Non j'pourrai pas

REFRAIN
Passer mes nuits sans bruit
Passer mes nuits sans lui
M'endormir sans me demander pourquoi
Passer mes nuits à craindre
Que ses mots puissent m'atteindre
Rester de glace envers lui je pourrai pas

C'est toujours en moi
Toujours le même combat
Qui me hante la nuit
Dans mes rêves, dans tout ce que je ne dis pas

Est-ce à cause de moi
J'aimerais comprendre pourquoi
Je suis seule aujourd'hui
À revivre, notre amour loin de toi

Comme si je n'avais pas tourné la page
Comme si j'avais peur de son visage
De ne pas savoir comment je pourrais réagir
Si un jour, dans ma vie, je le voyais revenir

J'pourrai pas survivre, j'ai trop mal
Je fais juste y penser, ce n'est pas normal
Je n'arrive plus à respirer
J'pourrai pas l'oublier
Non j'pourrai pas

REFRAIN

ah, ah, ah...
J'pourrai pas

Je n'arrive plus à respirer
J'pourrai pas l'oublier
Non j'pourrai pas

Passer mes nuits sans bruit
Passer mes nuits sans lui
M'endormir sans me demander pourquoi

I Cannot

I'm exhausted
My body emptied of him
I would like to fall asleep
But my heart makes too much noise

I am humiliated
Of my love for him
I would like to be able
To run away, but he follows me everywhere

As if I had not suffered enough
I would have to be marked with iron
His name on my skin, so that I would never forget
That even with the time, I would love him to life

I can not survive, I hurt too bad
I just think about it, this is not normal
I can no longer breathe
I could not forget him
No I cannot

CHORUS
Spend my nights without noise
Spend my nights without him
Sleep without wondering why
Spend my nights in fear
That his words could hit me
Keep ice to him I can not

It's still in me
Always the same fight
That haunts me at night
In my dreams, in everything I do not say

Is it because of me
I want to understand why
I'm alone now
To relive our love away from you

As if I had not turned the page
As if I was afraid of his face
Of not knowing how I would react
If one day in my life, I saw him come back

I can not survive, I hurt too bad
I just think about it, this is not normal
I can no longer breathe
I could not forget him
No I cannot

CHORUS

ah, ah, ah ...
I can not

I can no longer breathe
I could not forget him
No I cannot

Spend my nights without noise
Spend my nights without him
Sleep without wondering why

I would like to fall asleep
But my heart makes too much noise

I am humiliated
Of my love for him
I would like to escape
But he follows me everywhere

If I haven't suffered enough
I would have to be branded
His name upon my skin, I'll never forget
That even with the time, I will love him to excess

I can not survive, I hurt too bad
I just think about it, this ain't right
I can no longer breathe
I can not forget him, please
No I can't

CHORUS
Spend my nights without noise
Spend my nights without him
Sleep without wondering why 
Why do I Spend my nights afraid
That his words could hit me
Keeping cold to him, I can not

Is it because of me
I want to know why
I'm alone now
To relive our love without you

Working on NaNoWriMo and other stuff... ^_^

So i'm still working on the plot to my NaNoWriMo entry. yey me.
i've got pretty much the entire back story, and i've fitted it into Universe 1.
I've also gone ahead and figured out the over arching drama plot in the story so now i just need a few more points of contention to add.

In other news, i started writing Curses, but i stopped cause i got tired in RL so i've only got a few paragraphs down. sad face.

Next up I've been rattling around some werewolf things in my brain that i was initially gonna use for the NaNoWriMo book, but have decided that i'm gonna make it's own series too. Maybe i'll do a spin off character setup.

The NaNoWriMo book comes after book one of the Gate's Crossing series, but before Book 2 of the Gate's Crossing series.

Maybe i post the Werewolf hierarchy soon. smooches!
