1.78 [new fic!]

1.78 deaths a second.

Here it is, straight from the lips of the serpent.

Also, I’ve decided to do an archives revamp. I deleted all my work on TA, and am working on slowly filling it up again. I’ve been writing fanfiction for a year now, and I think it was past time I did a clean-out. I’m leaving everything I put up on fanfiction.net, though. It’s not that I feel that what I’ve been writing is bad, I just feel like I want to start over again on Twilight Archives, in regards to my writing.

Give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on

happiness take 2 xD

This morning I’m happy. Simple as that!

The sun is shining, it’s almost fifty degrees out, and I’m seeing all my friends today in civics class + chorus + band! Two hour band practice! I also rediscovered Lily Allen — who actually is a bit like a british Katy Perry, only Lily Allen is much better in my opinion. I normally steer away from pop, but Lily Allen is more pointed than most pop I’ve heard. So I’m getting her two CD’s from the library.

Yup, life is good.

I finished Supernatural season one, and was actually disappointed. The season finale was the FIRST one that has ever NOT made me cry. However, the first episode of season two did do the job, which was another first. I’ve also finally decided if I’m a Sam gal or a Dean gal … firmly in favor of Dean. He’s just less whiney and scores a bit more on the eye-candy scale. I’m really liking season two, and people tell me things just keep getting better and better.

I think spring should come a few weeks early this year … I mean, we’ve had our obligatory snow, and what’s the point of winter if all it does is make a lot of really cold wind and really cold faces. It’ll be nice to be able to walk the dog first thing in the morning and not have to bundle up like I’m going on an arctic exploration.

I’m really excited for this summer, I’ll probably be involved in a musical, and the family might be going to Canada again. Speaking of which, I miss the place. In particular I miss Nova Scotia + Cape Breton. I miss the laid back feel, I miss the fiddling coming from odd corners, and for goodness sakes, I miss the bagpipes.

Bagpipes. I have to ask myself how sane I am …

The recent bit of productivity in the writing world has also given my mood a boost! Awesomesauce!

Wow, I’m being disgustingly prolific — two fics in one day! Almost back to the good ‘ole days when I was pumping out seven chapters a week + assorted one shots xD … yeah … doubt I’ll ever be that active again …

I made two others, but this is my favorite …

The Death of a Sequel

I thought that I would finish it, I really did — but one thing led to another and then before I knew it, nearly a year had gone by, and the sequel to my fic Soul Searching still wasn’t done. I think that I started the sequel not because I had more to say on the story, but because I didn’t want to let go of Soul Searching. When I wrote Soul Searching, it was for the challenge of writing something in no dialogue, and for the challenge of creating a bizarre situation, while still making it reasonably plausible within canon. That is no longer where I am as a writer — I’ve moved on to different challenges and goals. 

I want to thank my amazing beta, Kayla Ariev, for helping me with these chapters. 

This story is incomplete, and will probably never be finished, but I wanted to post it ›here‹ for anyone that cared to read it. 

Vampage baby

There’s this thing I should work on. It’s called sleep. Have you heard of it? It sure seems like I missed the memo.

In other news, I’m doing a gallery revamp and really really working hard on backed up homework so that next week things should be back to normal, and perhaps I’ll have time to start writing and such again.

Maybe … I really really hope so …

So list of projects I need to finish up:

• Sequel to Soul Searching – it’s been in progress since LAST APRIL! It’s only 500 words a chapter for goodness sake, why is it so hard to get done?
• The Denali Fic –  I have it planned, I have the first chapter nearly done … but I feel guilty for working on it when the sequel to Soul Searching isn’t done. 
• Story banners – I want to get banners made for all my fics. I also need to finish all the requests soon.
• New Gallery – speaks for itself
• And then I need to finish up organizing this site, you know, add lists and links and graphics!

 

Chorus + Band have started up, and I have about a month to learn the violin part for the score of Cinderella. I’m the only violin in our rag-tag band which consists of drums, a keyboard/piano, a flute, an accordion, possibly a saxophone, a bass guitar, and obviously me on a violin! Not the most conventional assortment of instruments — but it’s amazingly fun, and we sound surprisingly good when we know the music! However much fun it is though, it’s a major time drain … staying on top of schoolwork + music + online projects. 

I was going to apply for the open staff position at Twilight Novel Novice, but I decided that I really didn’t have enough time to responsibly volunteer for yet MORE obligations.

Whinging

Lately I’ve just been … well … slipping. I’ve only just managed to get things beta-ed for my author, I had to send an e-mail to the person I owe a banner to telling her that I honestly couldn’t get it done because of all the personal ick going on, and though I’d absolutely love to be working on Soul Searching sequel (it’s been in the works for nearly a year …) I just don’t have much time.   I honestly can’t blame myself, because these last few days/weeks have been a little bit hellish. I know I’m making the right choices in where I put my priorities, I just wish I had an extra hour or two to the day. 

I’m really hoping that things’ll clear up in the next few days and I’ll be able to get to work finishing up that sequel, and then focus on my Denali fic. 

So many plot bunnies, so little time!

I’m putting all graphic production, aside from banners and requests, on haitus for the time being. I’ve spent a glorious two months focusing mostly on that, gotten situated on several amazing forums, and now I need to step back and take a break.
