Time Marches On...

9/29/2014

1 Comment

 
I'm sorry to have been absent for so long, my dear ones. 

First off, my foot has healed up after two or three weeks of physical therapy. I had managed to strain my tendon most of the way up my calf, so it took a  bit of work.

Then, a few weeks later, I attempted to give myself a nice concussion at work. I just rang my bell pretty hard --no concussion.

This past week, I dropped a hot pan on my arm, so I have a very pretty burn that makes my life difficult.

I also have noticed some tingling, stiffness, and pain in two of my fingers. Yay.

That's the health update so far.

I've barely had time to do much more than work and sleep. We've been pretty... swamped at work recently, so I have about six hours of overtime this week assuming I go in for all my scheduled shifts and don't stay over any longer or get called in for another emergency. I'm working six days a week and there's not been much else getting done, aside from doctors' appointments, food runs, putting gas in the car... and some very rare shopping.

I have been working on an awesome present for one friend --and then promptly suffered through my own birthday. I don't know how I feel about being 22. I'll let you know in a few months, haha.

I've been rereading some of my own fictions and I'm smoking Newports in the hope it will inspire something for "You can have Chemistry in Chemistry but Please don't have Biology in Biology". So far, nothing, but I'm quite hopeful!
I've reorganized some of my papers and drafted notecards for all of my fanfictions-in-progress and ideas. It's a very full little thingy, I should caution. 

Anyway, this is your friendly neighborhood sinner signing off for now! 

Love you all, darlings!

Life is Strange & It Hates Me

3/25/2014

In case you hadn't realized it or I didn't make you aware (which is more likely), I am actually employed. I'm actually coming up on my second month!

Unfortunately, my computer chord shorted, the new one I ordered didn't fit, and I have to wait until my next payday to buy one. If I can shove anyone else off the desktop, I get a few moments a day. The rest I do from my phone.

I am still writing and working and drawing, but unfortunately for me, I don't have time to type and edit and post.  It makes life interesting --especially when my tratorous muses inspire me when I have no time to write or no time to share anything.

I'm getting back to one of my original pieces, a hetero called "Strings" that involves a sex-symbol musicain and a cellist. It's been rather fun to play in and write for.

I'm also reworking my pet supernatural setting and setting rules and pinning down races and things. It can be tedioius but I find it rewarding --especially when I can see how all of the stories and starts fit together.

My third major project right now is my novella, "Bibliophile". I have actually outlined my plot, written more scenes, and come to a better understanding of my characters. Connected to that story is the YA story I want to write called "Dream Guy". As I understand more about Reid and Saxon and Carson, I'm coming to understand more about Gypsy and her best friend, too...

Anyway! I wanted to let you guys know I'm not dead and I'm still working!

Latter, my doves.
~Sins~

PS: I really want to write the next chapters for a few of my fan-fics, too! We'll have to see how my muses respond to my prodding!

PSS: I bought "Whiskey & Wry" by Rhys Ford and I devoured it! If you're looking for an awesome read, give her Sinners series a shot!

Happy Things and 2014!

I was just fooling about on my Twitter account tonight when one of the authors who work at Dreamspinner Press posed this question:

What is your favorite sin and why?

My answer was "lust", of course.

And so, it is sort of poetic that such a diligent sinner as myself won a copy of the audiobook for "Sinner's Gin" by Rhys Ford!

I Wonder as I Wander...

I've run across this ecard on a site I use... And I love the pairing of "Howl's Moving Castle" with a Tolkien quote...

I guess I've reached that point in my life. You know the one: where you look back with near perfect hindsight and wonder... As I wander story to story, trying to find the inspiration to write, I find myself there...

Inspiration Is A Little Sexier than I Remembered it...

10/31/2013

I've been a bit lax in my writerly duties.
I'm woman enough to own up to the truth of that.

Just  when I was starting to wonder if the mojo was gone for good... I slipped and fell into a little thing we all like to call YouTube.

So! In no particular order, I will post my favourite sources of inspiration --with the added benefits of clips that explain just why I am oh, so enamoured.

The Curious Case of the Things That Move Me

10/5/2013

0 Comments

 
Well, I haven't been on here in a while, I guess?

So, in case anyone cares, I've been working on some things!

  • My out-of-season Valentine's fic!
    It's called "I Hate Valentine's Day" and it is actually based on two pieces of art --this piece written by ShadowHaloedAngel and this piece written by Phoneix-Faerie
    I believe I told Phoneix-Faerie that I wanted to write a piece to go with the set around... two years ago? (I don't think I ever mentioned it to ShadowHaloedAngel at all >.< ) Anyway, I've finally actually worked on it. So far, what I have done is posted on ff.net (here!), but when it is complete, I will post it here, as well!
    If you choose to read it, please read the others first (reading order is the order their linked to above), but also note that I sort of... started in an odd place? It makes sense, but it's not quite where I would have predicted starting it, myself...

  • My first hetero story in... God, let's not even go there, 'kay?
    It's looking to turn into a bit of a thriller or a zombie tale. I'm not sure yet, haha.
    It's been a bit since I've really developed a new setting (I got so stuck in Mystic and RFed.) that it's being a bit of a challenge...

  • What might (hopefully) be my first published m/m romance?
    So far, it's gone through two names already. Most recently, I've settled on "Music of Our Own".
    One of the publishers I stalk follow is having open submissions for an anthology, and this story should fit the criteria, since I really doubt I'll go over 12,000 words... Of course, then it has to impress the editor in charge of the project, but hopefully I'll finish with enough time to work out all the kinks.
    I intend to work with a different pen-name than I normally do, but that might change along the way... I'll let y'all know?

  • My reading list?
    There's... oh, 10 library books lost in my room (not really lost, lol). I'm working through them slowly, since I really want to work on other things... Still, I can't not finish "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint Exupery!
    The novels are definitely on hold, but I also can't ignore the draw of "Tao Te Ching" (translated by Sam Hamill) because only a poet can leave the mystery in the mystics...
    And there's the book of poetry... I'm almost done with that one, at least!
    My book on writing... probably should finish reading it before I finish a piece I hope to publish, huh...?
    And my reference books... well, they're eclectic but appropriate in their own way!

  • My challenge!
    Well, the compositions for it? It'll be a bit before you actually see another from me, I'm afraid everything is pushing my work on that aside for now...

Distraction, Thy name is Cody?

8/10/2013

0 Comments

 
Well, I've fallen off the writer's wagon, apparently.
I won't lie and say I had good reason. Good reason is when you get a job and make good money.

I fell off to catch up on a telanovella/soap opera called "Hollywood Heights" (which I fell for last summer but never got a chance to catch up on) and to discover I am in love with the sound of Cody Longo's voice.
In case you were wondering what one distraction has to do with the other, Cody Longo stared in (Stars in? None of the fans are sure if we'll get more) "Hollywood Heights" as music sensation Eddie Duran...


Besides, as far as falling away from writing, it's only been a few short days and I was working on the story during that time, actually.

Still, I think it was worth it. I'm definitely enjoying my musical distraction (that would be Mister Cody Longo, children) and I sort of think of him as a new muse. I mean, he's gorgeous, he's got a great voice (that would be both his vocal prowess and his lyrics) --a girl can do a lot worse in a muse!

I usually can pick a solid favorite song pretty quick, but I'm torn between three of his. I think "She Said" is in the lead right now, but two days ago it was "Electric", so you can see how this goes right now...

Either way, he is a superb talent and I'm always happy when I hear his songs. If you have the chance, go check out his YouTube (I've already subscribed like a good fan-girl) or maybe just follow him on Twitter. I expect great things, personally.
