Alphabet Soup

Just...havin a bad week and needing to blow off a little steam. I'm not so much on the writing these days- I'm rather rusty, so feel free not to read, but I thought I might throw it into the soup anyway.

It's just a snippet. It's for a horrifically romantic fluff story in one of my folders, and I thought that if I made it a little less sickeningly lovey dovey, it might just work out someday. So the heroine needs to start acting the part. Now I don't think it's going to help with her love life, but hm, yeah I think that's okay.

-CD Into Stories

Hello again kids.

I know this died. I pretty much allowed it to. But starting this month I want to start working on the CD Into Stories challenge. There's no time limit. Just do what you can as you can. I already have a couple of you that promised to join, and I know there's school and other business that's going to take up your time. That's fine. All I ask is that you give it a shot.

This challenge is sort of like the Song into Story challenge. It's just bigger.

First, you take an album. Any album. Probably one of your favorite. You can even use a mix CD. That's fine too. Then you write down the track titles in the order they appear. Then, next to the first track you write "Chapter One." Next to the second track you write "Chapter Two."

And so on and so forth.

I already figure I'm either going to use A Beautiful Lie by 30 Seconds to Mars or City of Evil by Avenged Sevenfold.

Good luck!

I wrote something new. It's been a while since I've written anything. I'm not sure if I like this poem, but here it is.

Back in March I posted a story for the March challenge.  Here is a link to that post.

Those of you that commented said that you would like to read more.  Well here it is.  Consider the story from March, "A Legend of The Beast", as a prolgue to this one.  Here is chapter 1 of I don't know how many.  Your feedback is welcome as I plan to continue writting subsiquent chapters and of course improving what has already been written.  I may even look into publication.  Thank you for your time.

Keep in mind, this is only the introduction.

The title of our story is Damnun Vicus.

I know some of you are out there either laughing or going "Holy shit, she's bringing that back?" and some of you are going "Damnu-what?" The answer to all of the above is Yes. After thinking about it for a long time I decided the only way to kick this thing off properly is to start with the first really good campfire I had the help of writing.

And here is ( Collapse )

Thanks, and I love you all.

I found this hiding on my desktop, apparently I wrote it a little over a month ago, I only vaguely remember it. This is all I have :P I started work on some type of story I got an idea for but I haven't written anything like that in years so we'll have to see how that works out ^.^

This is something I wrote earlier today, I got the idea for it yesterday. It's of a relatively dark topic but I really like the way I found to convey it. Not in any way my best but I still like the idea...now lets see if I did the little link thingy right ^.^

This really has nothing to do with any of the challenges, but I wrote a poem recently and figured I'd post it. Enjoy! :)

I killed myself trying to finish this. But...here it is.

Title- Hang 'Em High
Rating- [R] for Language and Violence
Genre- Death, Angst, Supernatural
Status- Finished - Unedited
Summary- Two brothers find an old friend in a small town and seek vengeance on the demon that killed her.
Notes- This is actually spun off of a story I wrote with a good friend of mine, rosesforaubrey a long time ago. So just as background, the story was supposed to be about these two brothers, Ayden and Johnny, who traveled around and killed demons and the like. Ayden was cursed with premonitions and prophetic dreams, and Johnny was granted the Voice of God. So there that is. Also, this is inspired by the song Hang 'Em High by My Chemical Romance


(Hang 'Em High)

Just a couple of announcements.

Things have been going admittedly slowly here, and I know I'm part of that. I haven't given up on writing for either of the challenges, but as most of you know, sometimes life gets in the way. However, I had two ideas that hopefully will get things moving again.

I'm telling you May's challenge early, because that way I can start it right on May first.

-The Round Robin

-EDIT-

On May 5th, I am going to post the first part of a story.

From there, I would like any one of you to write the second part. You can introduce new characters, you can change the direction of the story, anything you like. After that, I would like someone else to write part three. And then someone else to write part four.

Notice the trend?

Basically, I want to start a campfire story. Also known as a round robin. The idea is to get everyone to participate and help write a story. I don't know how long it'll be, because that mostly depends on all of you. Some of you have already helped me write a campfire before, so you know how it works. But either way, that is the May challenge.


Lastly, just as a heads up, on July 1st I'll be starting a novel for NaNoWriMo. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, NaNoWriMo is a challenge run every year for the month of November. The challenge is to write a novel, 50,000 words or more, in the time of one month. Since the start, other people have taken it and run their own various versions of it in different months, with different restrictions and wordcounts.

So in July, I'll be aiming for those 50,000 words. Anyone who is interested can feel free to pick up the gauntlet.

Good luck and goodnight.
