I need to work on titles

What's Going On

Kayla

First off I updated the inspirations page to include Kayla (i e It's Will smith's daughter). Also someone brought it to my attention about the bear, and like I said I worked myself into a plot whole with that. . . I just thought it would be creepy ?

Website

I've also been tinkering with the website (the graphics dept. is swamped) to make the "chapters" page look better. I am tempted to change the layout because when I add the text it double spaces and I have to delete them, which is actually a good editing technique.

Blogging

So, this is a blog and I feel like I'm not doing enough blogging. Because this is my work blog and my way to connect to readers I'm going to try and do that. I would love to blog more about Litany Lane but I think I'll wait a few more chapters before I get more in depth

I would like to take a second and say that I mean to offend no one with the Litany Lane's premise, It was inspired by a tinsey-tiny bit by The Lovely Bones and a few other things.

When I look at my outlines and see the endings I find myself concerned about my future at Cobalt. I've met alot of wonderful writers and hope I can keep up the same pace as them.

(:

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 is either going to be the make it or break it as far as plots go. I'm trying hard not to feel guilty for suspending reality but still feel in control. If I were to label this Chapter I would call it Lonely.

  1. I've been waiting on day for an update ! I see a plot devolping in the chapter but, I am still not really sure what it is. I don't really understand how it makes or breaks the story.

  2. I think you are honestly up there and deifnatley more talented and likeable better than certain other writers at Coblat. I feel threatned by you.

  3. I find the Specter thing to be very interesting. Is it supposed to be capital or lowercase s ? Don't worry Linda we fans aren't going to let Cobalt take you away

  4. I agree with July, it really makes you think but I am not sure if both sides of Specter v Loyalist have been fully explained enough for me to make a decsision

  5. I can see there are some potential political vibes going on. I would not worry about suspending reality because this is supposed to be fiction.

  6. Are you just updating the playlist with new songs on the top ? If so that makes a lot of sense.

  7. I feel like we get some answers with this chapter but, it only leads to more questions. I think this story keeps you interseted

  8. I don't think Peter and Clara were really in love. But, it is a terrible situation with Mr. F and his wife You are so good with the tortured love stories, Linda !

  9. ^^ I think she is so good at it because she lives one. Don't worry, Linda Leigh's works are welcome in Cobalt as long as she is writing.

  10. Another lovely chapter, I am very curious I hope you don't stop.

  11. I can't wait to see more of Nightfall. Was there inspiration for the dress Clara tries on ?

    ReplyDelete
  12. I think the people in Nightfall need to have a sharing session. I think it's terrible that they don't talk about the sad things.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think anyone who has actually read or seen the Lovely Bones would know that this is nothing like it. IF anything it is better.

  14. I wonder what the whole story is behind Mrs. Fierro. I think all the mirrors have something to do with it, mirrors are metioned a lot

    ReplyDelete
  15. You have mentioned this as a fairytale, I wonder if this will ever have anything to do with Cinderella possibly ?

    ReplyDelete
  16. I am with Clara, I can't imagine Mr. Fierro being in love.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I found the history of Nightfall very interesting, is their some kind of allegory going on ?

    ReplyDelete
  18. So, the people in Nightfall just eat and sleep for play ? If you don't need food why does Mr. F drink coffee ? I would think the stimulants would loose their effects.

  19. I don't think this chapter exactly made the story but, it did not break it either.

  20. Those pictures were so pretty, I love the one of the roses. You are making me fall in love with roses. I want them all over my wedding.

    I wonder if Mr. Fierro knows that Clara used to be rich and possibly despises her for that. I can see how you would think she was spoiled

  22. I don't know if you have all the rules for Litany Lane written out but, where do they get the fabric to make new clothes ?

  23. One thing that (and I don't mean to curse) irratates me in this story is how aprubt and half-finished the scenes or conversations feel. Like the scene with Clara and Mrs. Ginger. Ms. Ginger says something humorously but, we never figure out why.IDK, I feel like we are missing out on something.

  24. @ Linda-- It was a joke from 30 Rock. It's a bad habit I have making random NBC comedy references

  25. @ SLodger - oh, I got someone to explain it to me. LOL
