So the truth is I've been around for a while clicking around avoiding anything that reminded me remotely of any of your usernames (including The Hills, Boston, Starbucks but hey it's almost June). The truth is I've be more than able to write and share with you to my hearts content but all of my post came out as solid and maybe a little cold.
Lately (with the help of my SIL) I've been able to find my spark, the "bubble" that make me me. and while some may call it flakeness I'm just glad to have it back. I think what made this work for me is and always will be music. Music therapy is honestly my life and lucky for you all it helped me write this story.
As you can see my new (and temporary) template change is helping me, it reminds me of my desk except I don't have Mac.
Macs plus children never works out well.

Refresher, Much

Back ? time for some trvia
Notice anymistakes ? originally I wanted Mr. Fierro to drive a Aston Martin and through the power of google I came up with the 1958 Aston Martin Continental . . . which if you just googled will find out that it doesn't exsist there is however a Continental Bently so incase someone went car shopping .
Chapter 2
This is were things get interesting to say the least, I find this story getting a bit more complex and longer as I finish it.
That said there are a few things to look for including a very veiled illusion/allusion to Litany Lane. There are technically two but one is more obvious.

I want to post first about how much I like the new lay out it is very neat.
ReplyDeleteI love the new layout too, it incorporates a lot of you. I'd almost given up on hearing more from The House of Fierro. I notice you (like myself sometimes) use some names twice. There was a Derek in S&A, correct ?
ReplyDeleteClara seems to live such a charmed life, even thought it all seems kind of fake I'd love to live it.
ReplyDeleteIt is so cool that you are thinking about us ! This chapter was worth the wait ! I feel like it is all going to weave together.
ReplyDeleteIt's totally awesome you are writing again. You should come by the office more and give us sneak peeks at what you are doing. Maybe bring your dad by, he is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI guess my name reminds you of the hills but, it is unfortunately my real name. It's so funny that Mr. F is talking about connections. I can't imagine Mr. F using a blackberry or something to keep in contact.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me a lot of a Jane Austen type story. All the Pride (Mr. Delune's family name) and Prejudice (they hate Mr.F).
ReplyDeleteThank God (if you believe in that sort of thing) you are back. I need something to read while on my lunch break.
ReplyDeleteCobalt loves you !
Im glad you have your *writing bug* back ! It's always good to have something get you through the hard times. Will you be working on any books ?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how Mr.Delune can't see Mr. F and Clara have a thing for each other. It's pretty obvious. I mean Mr. F is rich why not just let them get married.
ReplyDeleteOh no, not the dogs ! That kind of turned my stomach a little bit. I bet Roger or Martin hired someone to do it.
ReplyDeleteWas there a double wedding ? It seems like Clara isn't as close to her sisters as the sisters are to each other.
ReplyDeleteI understand Clara is an adult and needs independence but,I think she is still a little green and young and needs her family's help. I don't think running away would be wise for her.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit confused. Did Clara promise she would marry by 22 or something ? Why are they so convinced she has to get married so soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see Peter and Clara are on good terms. I kind of see a spark between them, even though Peter has a good reason to be pissed at her.
ReplyDeleteI am really glad you are feeling better and back to writing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above about Mr. Delune having a lot of pride. He really is full of himself, I mean who smokes in someones home without asking ?
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting you write a lot about virgins like Tomas and Clara. It must be hard to write about something you know nothing about.
ReplyDelete^^
ReplyDeleteITA, not to mention the parallels between JB and Mr. Fero. They are both angsty, emo, cutters. This self-insert mary sue crap is pathetic.
^^
ReplyDeleteActually a lot of male romance heroes tend to be angsty and emo and one step away from being cutters. . . . ah, the things we do for love.
I'll repeat the sentiment that I'm glad you are writing again, it lets me know you are still alive.
ReplyDeleteIt may just be me but your writing actually seems better. Thanks for brightening my day.
I love the Parachute song ! How in the world do you find this wonderful music ?
ReplyDeleteI didn't see an illusion or allusion to LL at all except that Mr.F has another maid to keep him company again.
ReplyDelete"Funny Peculiar"
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be the perfect way to describe Mr. Fierro.
I think it is terrible they want her to marry someone so much older. I mean doesn't one of her new BIL has a brother or something ?
ReplyDeleteSIL are the best, aren't they ? Ecspecially when you don't have any other sisters. I'm so glad you feel better. I just want to send you a care package.
ReplyDeleteI think it is awesome you feel a small connection to us commenters. I feel a connection to your characters. I find myself thinking about them at times. Like when I see roses I have a glancing thought of Mr. F
ReplyDeleteOh, wait . . .okay, so U2 is a band. When you said you were going to a U2 concert a while ago I thought you were joking. Are they new ?
ReplyDeleteWho is your new crush ? I really love me some Parachute.
ReplyDelete^^
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you have a crush on me. I mean yes, I have the high score on DDR at the mall and I came in 2nd place in the Rockband competition against Greta's cats and mom and I know I look sexy with a golf club but, uh I'm taken Lile. . . get in line.
You have got to be kidding sometimes, Erik.
ReplyDeleteYou too Shawna.
(lol, you too. U2)
I want to hate Mr. F from the last chapter but, in this chapter I just fall in love with him as much as you can fall for a fictional character. I just can't hate him.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Mr. F know how long it takes to get to his study ? 23 seconds. Foreshadowing possibly ?
ReplyDeleteI have an out there question. Will there ever be an S&A LL HOF crossover of some kind ?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete@ Shawna - Was there ? There was a reason I chose that name I just can't remember why. (shows how long ago I wrote this)speaking of never hearing from . . .

@ Joel - Thank you
@ Hpgirl - I don't know. . . Erik
@ loveshereyes - (:
@ Bookworm - Well Mr. F isn't a cutter it was a throw back to the previous story.
@ Violeta - Well honey it doesn't always have to be like that.
@ Wilson - Parachute ? Did you mean Agustana. and to answer your question One Tree Hill.
@ Emile_Lover - Super Subtle
@ Jane - I agree
@ Marianne - There is nothing wrong with him being older.
@ Appletini - Don't worry about it, I really do love my SIL.
@ Tabby - Aw, Thanks
@ Joel - Are you joking ?
@ Topaz - Damien Rice !
@ Erik - OH, dear
@ Jill - amirite (I've always wanted to type that)
@ Hannah - hehehe
@ Princess Arielle - No, it's more like he's a little OCD
@ LilyF - No, I just really like New York and I picked this location for a reason . . .
You guys really pick up on a lot (except for Erick)I promise things will clear up around chapter 6.
