Writer's Block
So where have I been ? after finishing nearly 10,000 words of Desert Sand Iris, I found myself with writer's block. Maybe I've been distracted by the remodeling on my kitchen (it almost burned down ): but now that it is all done I have had more time to concentrate Although there is nothing more peceful than picking out chrome plated appliance. My SIL and I decided to remodel according Rachel Ray 's kitchen, except we have two ovens. Speaking of remodeling I'm looking for my old template !
Anywho,
The writer's block has dissipated and I'm hoping the rest will flow easily. I took out one paragraph from chapter 2 and the whole story fell apart but it's all better now. I'm also working on getting someone to show me how to put my playlist in the sidebar.
Desert Sand Iris, Let's review
I know it's been a while but The prologue pretty much stands on its own if a refresher is needed. I'm also a big fan of these 'Author Notes' at the end of chapters so look out for those.
I think you will find that once again I want to reach into the dark corner of your itunes and find some ecletic songs !
oh, and did I mention
DOUBLE CHAPTER POST ! !
Today's playlist features (in no particular order) A traditional heritage song, one song from an academy award winning movie, a Grammy nominated song, a song from our favorite reality tv show and one I couldn't really find any information about

I certainly have a lot of catching up to do. All of Mr. Vance's work took me a day to read. I've spent weeks on Mrs. Harrison's
ReplyDelete@ MT - When you have time to do all that reading ?
ReplyDelete@Linda Leight @MT Oh, well at night mostly. I guess.
ReplyDeleteUh, MT this isn't Twitter.
ReplyDeleteSlightly OT but, next time you write an allegory of your life don't give my character representation the same name as me. It ruins the effect
I love your music so much ! You may have to post the answers to your song trivias in the next post. I love everything you write and how you incorporate pieces of yourself into it, it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteoh no, not Joshua ! I can't wait to see where this goes. I suppose that just means Victor is no longer inside him though.
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly does Clara do at the University or, er academy ? Is she a teacher--is their school based on any real place ?
ReplyDeleteI love the little paradoxes in some of the lines like Rose's hair as a-- "a neat little mess" and one other one I can't seem to find. What a way with words . . .
ReplyDeleteI forgot to make an inappropriate joke :
ReplyDeleteIf you kitchen has been broken what room do the women stay in. I mean, where do the women make sandwiches ?
^^
ReplyDeleteErik, that is simple--the laundry room. Also, that is not an inappropriate joke. An inappropriate joke is :
Why did they create lesbians ?
So feminist wouldn't breed.
OMG-- MANSFIELD TOWNSON ! ! ! I love him I am so glad he is at Cobalt--guess he will be a writing rockstar soon and known by everybody.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to ask is Mansfield Townson a pen name because if not you were seriously born to be a writer or actor. A name like that only comes along once every Chord Overstreet.
ReplyDelete@ Erik - Don't make fun of the new guy.who knows what he might do if he gets. . . hungry
ReplyDeleteWhy does Clara hide the paper from Rose ? Does she think she can read for some reason ?
ReplyDelete@ Jill - It is my name, but I kind of like MT
ReplyDeleteI feel like even though the Delune's may not be thrilled with Rose, she gets a lot of perks.
ReplyDeleteAll I want is to see Mr.Fierro meet his daughter and some serious fluff. I am still obsessing over the scene between him and Kayla all the way back in LL, it was so sweet and touching it stuck in my head
ReplyDelete@ Joel - If I I didn't believe in anti-censorship I would delete your comment,
ReplyDelete@ Jill - Oh, I didn't realize you were a Gleek too! I can't belive all those evil kids are trying to outsmart Sue. At least that is how I C it.
ReplyDeleteI think Clara knows about Mr.F being alive. She must have noticed him or Lucie must have made an appearance when she visited Emile.
ReplyDeleteAhh, Cliffhanger. I hate it-- I need more hopefully at the very least we get it before christmas
ReplyDeleteWTF move over horror writers--Lile you have managed to do in a few paragraphs what the new Nightmare on Elm Street couldn't do in 3 hours.
ReplyDeleteI think it's because it wasn't just about deaths but what they represented to Lucie and the people who were dying--if that makes sense. It was just delightfully creepy.
I am so glad Mr.F is alive ! It wouldn't be a story without him. I could srsly read about these people all day, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI really like the AN right at the end. It answers a lot of questions. I totally got the time thing you made it easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I am overestimating the awesome that is Emile but then you have a section with him in it and it becomes my favorite. I think there is a trope for this . . .
ReplyDeleteOkay well seeing as everyone else had gushed I think I'll just post my favorite lines :
ReplyDeleteThere was a quiet sound in the background but I was figuratively concerned about my next step.
and
“Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low?” he said with an air of his usual good nature
Although the second one would have been better if it was unexplained.
It seems like they just need to kill Lucie. Who Ya Gonna Call ?
ReplyDelete(:
*I'm getting silly*
Yay ! Finally something I can read while I am monitoring detention. Is there going to be a picture post soon ?
ReplyDeleteGoing off of Dawn I like how Mr.F uses literally and figuratively correctly. He figuratively decides his next step and literally hears a glass shattering scream.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know there will be lots of newspapers in 2011. IDK, the newspapers just showed up a lot.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I must know what Ghost Shows you watch for inspiration because I love it !
ReplyDelete@Greta -- Well,I watch any show that gives hope someone in their 30's can pass for High School. . . of course it scares me if kids in high school can pass for 30.
ReplyDelete@Jill I know that's right ! Preach !
ReplyDelete@ MT-- IDK,dude. Joel has the JB thing so maybe we can do ManTo, Field, Towns, Jughead, MaTo we will get back to you
@Erik-- I like Fields, actually.
ReplyDeleteThis is a serious matter too because I'm pretty sure my books would be far less successful if I hadn't changed my name when I turned 18. I mean what if I was Joe Lawrence or something.
I mean Fi,recognized her name was waaaaay to ethnic-y and changed it so,consider it, Mansfield
That reminds me in High School--I mean Juvie they used to call me Erik Advance--get it?
ReplyDeleteMr. Fierro seems to be stepping up and trying to help--If I may get back on topic.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to they kill Lucie--I hope they have an awesome one liner that includes calling her a bitch.
ReplyDeleteI want to play devils advocate with Lucie so badly but, don't know how. I mean maybe she is in physical pain or something.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete@ Erik - There is no Erik what are you talking about ?
@ Shawna - Maybe I'll do the song trivia in order.
@ July - Yep
@ June - It is briefly mentioned that she is a PHD candidate so she teaches Undergrad courses at University of Rochester.
@ Violeta - Thanks honey
@ NYBraista - Well MT, you have one fan
@ Mara - There was a body bag on the front page which is why Martin removes the "plastic covering"
@ Karen - True
@ Topaz - I give nothing away
@ Carleigh - ^
@ Jade - or before new year's whatever
@ findthetypo - oh, Johnny Depp
@ Cherry - OMG, me too
@ Coraline - I thought putting the date on Clara's made it seem like the date was super important, when it's not. . . really
@ EmileLover - I really enjoy writing him
@ Dawn - Actually the point was he didn't ask for an explanation. Also, i know how young some of you are.
@ Kylie - I really like your name
@ Wilson F - Maybe, one pic is kind of wierd
@ Lia - (;
@ SLodger - Well Clara's dad was reading the paper and Mr. F is older so of course he would read the paper too. In HOF Emile was reading the paper on a blackberry. I didn't notice this
@ Trinity - would you believe my old old old online journals ?
@ Erik - OMG, Erik Advance I love it. BTW Joe Lawrence sound like an Ohio Trucker. I vote for MaTo
@ Sunset - oh, i love OT
@ Sugarcookie - I'm not giving anything away this time but a large of the end of HOF and even LL is that Spectre's can't die.
@ Illa - she's not in physical pain, if that helps
@ Joel & Erik I actually like my name because it means so much to my parents. I thought your SO's name was the same way ?
