He Cooks Spaghetti and Plays the Saxophone

Second chapter of ››Not With a Bang but With a Whimper is out. I’ve decided to extend it into a series of unrelated one-shots in the point of view of various newborns created during the Southern Wars as well as Victoria’s rampage in Seattle. 

And I’m working on a new fic involving the Denali Clan … I’ve got it all outlined, it’s longer and definitely more detailed than anything I’ve done before. 5000 word minimum chapters. Still writing the first chapter. It’s as long as I want it, and now I’m just … messing about with it. I’m hoping I’ll have it done and beta-ed by the spring/summer. 

I’m really excited about both new writing projects! 

And now I have a goal to write a chapter of Letters to the Dead a Week. It’s five hundred words a week at least, that’s not hard. 

Then again, it is. When I wrote Soul Searching, all the angst was just … easy. I’m in a different place now, it’s been nearly a year. It’s hard to go back to that semi-depressed manic twilight phase that got Soul Searching out, along with 20 + fics, in about three months solid. I should really get organized and figure out a working idea of how long this is, and what the plot will be. 

I FAIL AT PLOTS.

Eh. Enough whingeing!

Instead of writing, which I really should be doing, I entered a wild-card challenge at the Vesperarium. That means by January 27th I need to have made 28 graphics on the theme of the word “ring”.

10 down, 18 to go!

And … I’ve finished Doctor Who (all four seasons and specials). I’m watching Firefly now.

Joss Whedon is amazing! I want Dollhouse to hurry up and premier, so that when I’m done with Firefly I’ll have something of his to watch.

Letters to the Dead

 I’ve finally started back up writing my sequel to Soul Searching. The working title is Letters to the Dead. I’m on Chapter Four, and I’m guessing this is going to be thirty chapters, give or take. I don’t plot out my stories to any extent most of the time — what happens surprises me as I write it. If I get a chapter done a week … my, this won’t be showing up for a while, unfortunately. At least I also keep up a stream of one-shots. More like a dribble than a stream.

Coming Soon …

Savage love, savage death, savage eyes that falter at nothing.

Torn down, the illusion of perfection hurts too much and brings her to her knees before the memory of her almost lover. 

Victoria and James were always looking for different things. She wanted a lover, he wanted a business partner. One-shot. 

Now out!

A short little one-shot focusing on James and Victoria. It was heavily influenced by the song “Almost Lover” by A Fine Frenzy. You see the official music video here. Thanks to j3nn for a fantastic beta job!

Happy fourth of July folks!

Coming soon is a one-shot focusing on Tanya and Edward. It’s surprisingly tricky … hopefully it’ll be done in the next few days.
