Mortua Dea I was at the Walker Sculpture Garden today in Minneapolis. I was laying on the grass right next to the giant spoon and cheery (not unlike what JD is doing in my icon) and I just let my mind wander. I starting writing whatever I was hearing or seeing at the time. People were mingling around the pond/spoon/cherry thing, and I wondered about their lives and how they got there on that day and I started making up stories about them. I might post something about it some other time. Then again, I may never come back to it again. And I'm ok with that. I had been trying for awhile to write a poem for April Poetry month, but as I've never been very good at poetry, it wasn't going well. But I have this, and after all, bad poetry is still poetry. The steady beat of my heart keeps me anchored And the low shifting of the water is deafening to my ears My eyes grow heavy and I close them, willing for silence The water continues its quest and I am denied The cool air kisses my skin and I shiver The water is nearly gone now I am left alone and bereft My, it's certainly been awhile. BUT! I have something to report. I don't know what happened but yesterday, I was somehow inspired to write something from my novel. It wasn't a lot, but when I go back and look over it, I can expand on it. It was basically the prologue introducing the characters. I do have a scene in mind for later in the book which I might write down later... might being the key word. ^_^ But I am doing something! (4 vampires | join the undead) Haha, yeah, so... Instead of working on my novels, I've mostly been interested in writing my own Book of Shadows. I have the one my friends and I started about five or so years ago. I'm picking that apart and rewriting some things and adding some others to make is completely my own. It will also have a different kind of format and placed in different books. Example: The BOS used to be one huge three ring binder. Mine is many (well, one so far...) different books. The first has the Wiccan Rede, my own personal history, and the cliff note version of the history of witchcraft and Wicca. So! It may not be what I originally intended to do. Afterall, I've no desire to publish anything I write in my BOS, but it's give me a nice accomplished feeling when I finish a page. (4 vampires | join the undead) Success! I've begun researching for my book so I actually know what I'm going to be writing about. I went to my school's library today and checked out a book for the first part of my series. I've already got many ideas going through my brain and written down on paper. I'm very excited! (3 vampires | join the undead) I had an interesting Anthropology class today. We spoke about the hero's cycle and it made a helluva lot of sense. The hero's cycle is an everthing. So I decided not to do it with my book. The Hero's Cycle 1. Arrival of someone/event that threatens the hero's world 2. Deniel 3. Acceptence 4. Departure 5. Events that shape hero 6. Encounter with Evil 7. Events that shape hero 8. Hero triumphs and is recognized as a hero 9. Hero returns to his world 10. Hero gives a gift to his world and all is right again This cycle is in everything that I have ever read. And it's a good cycle and a good plot. But there's gotta be something different than this. So I'm gonna write it. Why can't I write? I think about doing it... but I don't... Why is that? (4 vampires | join the undead) If it isn't massive Hurricanes and Tsunamis, it's terrorist attacks. Peace be with all you Londoners. Due to the fire that claimed my room, I will not be writing anything in at least two months. All my stories and ideas were on my laptop and I'm not sure when I can get them off. However, for graduation, my mom is getting me my own personal wireless laptop. It is beautiful. When I recieve that, I hope to start writing something. Even if it isn't one of my current stories. (3 vampires | join the undead) I've decided to post about each of my stories telling what they are about. SO! Souls of the Night Been in the works for awhile now. With me being obsessed with vampires, why not write about one? It's about a vampire named Daemon who goes through life seeking redemption (Cliche, I know). He did something terrile when he was on his first Hunt, and he vowed to never harm an innocent again. But in modern day New York, he meets a woman who leads him into temptation, however unknowingly. What follows is a silent war of vampire Clans with Daemon trying to stop them while trying not to destroy everything he's worked for for hundreds of years. Mortua Dea - Working Title This is a little new in my life. I've been working off and on on it for a few months now. It's probably become my favorite. It opens in present day, when the main character wakes from a very long sleep. The men who found her and woke her, beg for her to tell her tale and she does so. She takes them back to the beginning when the world and life was new. She tells them of how primitive humans whould worship them as though they were gods (Greek Gods, Roman Gods...) But beings gods were not enough for one man. He wanted to be human and he wanted to be powerful. He took the shape of a human man and rose to become master of Rome, Julius Ceaser. The main character is appalled by his behaviour and also takes on human form as Cleopatra to counter Ceaser. And so the playfull war begins. Both go through history, becoming new people each time (even Jesus Christ). This is my take on ancient times, religion, and human nature. It will already be a long series and when she's done telling her history, I doubt it will be the end. Her adversary is still out there, waiting. Harry Potter Fanfics Fates Entwined- Co-written with Whitney (aka TanisaFyre on fanfiction.net, aka Those In Hell- Harry's trapped in the underworld and everyone is fighting to get him back... or at least his soul... Hiatus. I've decided to wait until the sixth book comes out and then start writing this again with many many changes. |
