Original Spirits
SH kept telling me how inspired she was by the orginal spirits and I just recently read over it and I realize I could never flesh out that story properly. I can see the inspiration used in Veritas I always said it wasn't the kind of story I could tell but it was one you told beautifully. It's all yours if you want it !
Methodology
I was conflicted on which Web serial to post first. orginally I wanted to post whichever one was 10k first but they both reached that point, so that went out the window. Angel : Black White & Gray will be shorter than Je Ne' Regrette Rien.
Recap
Je Ne' Regrette Rien
Incase you couldn't telll I consider this the fifth installment in the Litany Lane series because I consider August a part on it's own and I love the word pentalogy. Admittedly "Paranormal Mystery" may have been a slight understatement but I'll let you be the judge of that.
Angel : Black, White and Gray
I knew I had to keep up with the name thematic here but I wanted to explore black, white and gray areas of life. I've mentioned numerous time that this story will cover the loose ends in Dark Ange land I'm sure people who know me will point out to me when I get to "real" but it a large part of the process. Also I think the 'trailer' was meant to come across as a little more abstract.

Why ?
I have such big plans for ABWG and there is so much that still needs to come together for it to feel real. ABWG and JNRR are on two complelty different planes, the somewhat "surrealism" tone of JNRR made it so easy to write. I really need ABWG to be perfect before I start posting it.
JNRR Prologue and Chapter 1
There is not much to say except this takes place 6 months after Desert Sand Iris. Quite a few chapters are already written so maybe I will inter-post this with ABWG . This will give me something to do while I am taking breaks from writing my memoir !
As always I've been hoarding this chapter since November so it's sad to see it go.

Chapter 1
Oh, Lile I am so glad you are back. I couldn’t imagine anything I could do with the original storyline of Spirits but, thanks for the inspiration. What did you mean by, “isn’t that kind of story”
ReplyDeleteI love this new story and I am already so curious. You have fleshed out (fleshed out ? Isn’t that an odd phrase) Clara so well as a character, I just feel like I “know her”. I hope we get the same from Sofia. It’s been nearly a year since we heard from her !
Now I have a question for you. Do you ever feel any favoritism to your characters ?
to quote someone from a SH comment section : I am not proud of how quick I clicked that button ! Are you working on a new layout ?
ReplyDeleteI love the Sia song, it is sooo pretty and it sounds so familiar.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it but, I was kind of hoping this would be JNRR. After coming off of DSI I just need more. Yay, it was so awesome
ReplyDeleteAm I jealous that Lile has a web serial, even though she claims to be “like me” and pushed to the corners by other Cobaltians ? Maybe, but I read it and enjoy it for what it is. Besides . . . I’m sure I have a sex tape out there just waiting to be released.
ReplyDelete^^
ReplyDeleteTo far, Erik
Wow, this Juliet Walker character seems pretty interesting. I hope to see more of her.
ReplyDeleteJust one chapter in and we are seeing a story whole cast of female characters with more on their minds than dating. I totally salute you, Lile !
ReplyDeleteCarrie-grant ? That is so unfortunate. I hope they just call Carrie or something.
ReplyDeleteWait, so are you saying ABWG will be posted while JNRR is still being posted. I am so curious about ABWG. Can we get a sentence or something from it ? Like the first one ? Maybe ? No ?
ReplyDeleteI am so hooked to this already ! I can’t believe Martin is dead. I totally think Clara did it.
ReplyDelete^^
ReplyDeleteI don’t think Clara killed him. I think this could be one of those “and they fight crime” type things. Will this story be like a mystery ?
Ooh, that cover is so pretty, I am in love with it. Are those a specific type of flower ?
ReplyDeleteCan you explain the surrealism tone ? It sounds super interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou can really tell this is something you have held on to for a while. It was written so elegantly. I could read this all day. . . . and if you want to e-mail it all to me I am totally okay with it (;
ReplyDeleteWait, she doesn’t have a daughter ? What happened to Rose? There are so many holes and questions. I am still not used to not knowing all the answers.
ReplyDeleteThey were so short ! I want more. I don’t know why but, that funeral scene felt really vivid to me. It seems like even with his flaws Clara is still loved her dad.
ReplyDeleteI guess she can’t not love him at all but, how can she be so remorseful over his death. I mean, he tried to kill her daughter. I think she killed him.
ReplyDeleteHow did they know Martin was poisoned if they thought he had a heart attack. I mean is it normal to do a tox screen on every dead body if foul play isn;t suspected ?
ReplyDeleteAw dang, NGL at first I thought it was a wedding scene. Was that intentional or am I too hopeful ?
ReplyDeleteMy tears were real I hoped she could see that
ReplyDeleteThis line makes me think that Clara killed him. I don’t know why.
We would totally love some double chapter posts. I like it so far but, I think I need more.
ReplyDeleteI really like how this story has been a pentaology but, with each section we are introduced to new characters and concepts.It feels like a whole new story each time. It kind of reminds me of Harry Potter in that way.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, have you mentioned Colin before ? Or is the first time he has had a name
ReplyDeleteI was rooting for JNRR too but, then you talked more about ABWG and know I want to read that. Is it hard for you being so honest in your writing ?
ReplyDeleteA psychic ? Whaaaaaaat ? This sounds so cool. I wonder if police really use them. *insert Mentalist joke*
ReplyDeleteI think it’s cool there is a psyhic. All of the awesome female psychic shows like Ghost Whisperer and Medium are off TV. Are any of those inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOh, one more comment hon. You’re writing feels so inspired. Will you be posting an inspiration post soon ? I could use it . . .
ReplyDeleteI don’t think Juliet is a psychic at all. maybe she is lying. That is the first thing that comes to min with psychics. I bet this comment will just get a . . .

ReplyDelete@ Shawna - Well for Original Spirits the plan was for the story to be about the dangerous and high life of gangs but Sofia ended up getting lost.
I do have favoritism I like Tomas (of course), Emile and a few new characters. Sofia is a blast to write in this new one.
@ July - Not Really, I wanted to be "springy" also it looks like those Louis Vuitton bags.
@ June - It's in the Eclipse commercial
@ Nybarista - It almost wasn't for that very reason
@ Erik - I'm sure you do
@ Holli - me too
@ boston_girl - I just realized that
@ sugarcookie - Because then no one would get it.
@ Carleigh - I'll post the first chapter very soon
@ Harper - I thought it was odd that you used her dad's first name.
@ Selena - It is a mystery I would say
@ PrincessA - I'll explain in chapter 2
@ Quinn - . . .
@ Violeta - I tried the same thing with Stephanie Meyer. . . it didn't work
@ Lori - She's lying about not having a daughter
@ appletini - I can't say from personal experience (that was a terrible response)
@ Tabbi - I have no idea what to say
@ Rei - It wasn't suspected until Juliet said something.
@ Ashlyn - not really but it came out that way. If you read closely it also looks like something else.
@ Wilson - I hate that I can't respond to certain comments
@ Topaz - True, I could post chapter 2 but I wanted feedback
@ Hpgirl - I try
@ Daisy - Colin had a name in Litany Lane and because I didn't know how many sequels there were I used my 'easter egg' name.
@ Illa - no actually, it's theraputic
@ Carter - love me some patrick jane !
@ Tori - Not really.
@ Shawna - Yes and no. It's wierd
@ Blondie - I'm starting to see the problem with writing a story out ahead of time.
