Hello,
I have been working hard on the next part but thought I would say a little about what gets this story going.
When I originally wore the character of Tomas I was very tempted to make him a writer and the scene in Spirits were Sofia us talking about his drawings originally had him writing poetry but I thought that would remind us all of a certain person so when I was about to post it I changed it.
Then I came up with the issue of how he would make money off of it and that's how the Tattoo artist part was created. It didn't come up much in Spirits but now that hte has his own studio I realized I needed to do a little research. I do have tattoos but I was a little intoxicated both times so I to get a little information I watched an episode of Tattoo Highway and Inked online and guess what the "star" of the shows name is. . . Thomas. (: And after learning a little more about Thomas Pendelton I realized that with Tomas's nonchalant attitude towards school and with a hard family life he would seek an outlet in drawings.
One more thing about Tomas, I think in Spirits in the liast section I wrote Tomas calling Sofia "Sofie" and didn't realize I had done it and was planning on getting rid of it but somehow I did it at least 5 more times in Spirits and it kind've stuck. Anyway in doing some research I found out that in Lithuania they use a lot of diminutives (ie Maggie (from Margaret), Sally (from Sarah)) .
Also, I'm up to 39 tracks, I hope I can find room for them in the story. I'll release them all once I'm done but if you really want to see it I'm sure you know how.
*** Also I'm still looking for my old template if you know where it is.
**** I found it !
P.S
What do you all think of this one ? http://btemplates.com/2009/01/27/sweeney-todd/
Sweeney Todd ! Squee do it ! do it !
ReplyDeletelol, maybe on Halloween ?
Did you get it from my IM to you ? I IM'd it to you the other day.
ReplyDeleteYou're research sounds like fun ! I think that moment when you realized Tomas started calling Sofia Sofie is what I like to call a writer's moment.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club, hon. Can't wait for the update! Back to your desk !
Sally from Sarah ? That seems odd. I love the tattoo part of it. I love this. We have to hassle you for updates now too.
ReplyDeleteI love the depth of realiness research adds. How many tracks did you have before you added the Spirits and Angels ones ? I just want to know how many "new" songs there are.
ReplyDeleteThat little tidbt of information changes everything.
ReplyDeleteJason owes me atleast 50 dollars
Lol, lots of big words in there (diminutive ?) I loved both layouts.
ReplyDeleteI think making him an artist was a good call. I think it adds a softer side.
ReplyDeleteNow, that i think about it there are certain people in my life who I call by shorten versions of their names.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking 65, now.
I love getting inside of your writing process, I really do. Do you have anything else to share.
ReplyDeleteI may get kicked out for saying this but, I almost like these better than the updates. I think blogs should be about more than posting updates.
You should have called me sweetie, I have both of those shows on DVD's.
ReplyDelete@Joseph - Yeah, right
Oh, no Linda Leigh has a bad side !
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to watch these shows,then. I wish I was a writer so I could learn about new things !
ReplyDeleteI would love to know more about what their studio looks like.
ReplyDeleteThe tattoo highway people remind me of Sofia and Tomas a bit

@ June 11/39 are ones I used before.
@ Joseph - Not neccesairly because I felt the writer part was taking the easy way out.
@ Blondie - Yeah, it was a new word for me to, the other layouts didn't play the playlist.
@ Violeta - I'll try
@ Joseph - Ireelvant
@ Jason - Wow, really ? They are free online
@ Angelic_Spirit - Very !
@ Trista - you don't have to be a writer to learn new things, that's why I have so many degrees.
