 Will's End


I have been struggling so much with my challenge piece and now SH has raised the bar. Since I guess I have the power I would "christian" it cannon. It had a few rough spots for example Mr. Fierro's "tear stains" humanize him to much but you could almost be my ghost writer

" I wished I could stop and capture the moment but, anyone I would share it with was already here."
My favorite line.

I like the Kayla/Emile/Clara interaction it was something light hearted compared to the "darker" material we often dabble in. 

Pictures of You
Now that we have rounded out our suspects cast I want to point out one of the reasons I choose the photos in the picspiration post was because of the expressions the people in the photos had. I wanted them to somewhat connect with the personalities of the characters.

Chapter 6
This chapter is a little different. I really wanted this story to stand alone but chapter six does reference something that happens in the first "anthology" in August. It is  not a  major connection and you don't even need to re-read it. I'll explain in the author's note.


Rainer receives some mysterious letters in her mailbox and Juliet gaines some insight into Clara's mind but does she really know what she is thinking ? Well, Clara seems to have a lot of thinking to do now that she is engaged but more importantly who is Cal ?

CHAPTER SIX

I flew to close to the sun

In my attempts to get ahead of JNRR I began working on the longest and most pivotal chapter. I had found the perfect place to hide from my kids set my ipod to shuffle and I started putting the pieces together. . . and then I lost the entire file.

It's gone . I replaced the file with my notes.

Fortunatley re writing will be easier and it won't effect my posting flow.. . hopefully

LOL, Shawna

I too was planning on doing an April Fool's Joke in which I revealed in whatever chapter of JNRR that I was working on that Juliet Wakefield was really a doctor and Clara was a mental patient and LL-JNRR was the results of her hallucinations and the other characters in the novel were all people who worked in the hospital. I know it sounds like Sucker Punch.

It would have been to much work to make it convincing

I also had a tiny feeling Encounters was written on the fly because I did some tiny editing to LL and during Mr. Fierro's description I changed the word "carvat" to "tie"

SH mentioned her favorite serial was Hidden and I decided to declare Spirits and Angel to be my favorite. I feel as if it is really solid with the other works there is some shakeness, for example

Free Spirits - Tomas leaving for New York and staying could have been better explained. It's the one tiny apart that I don't like.

Litany Lane - I would probably do away with the "political-fairytale" ascpect I was going for

HOF -I debated on wheather to add flashbacks between Lucie and Addison inbetween the present day story and maybe it would have fleshed it out more, but this isn't a novel

DSI - Same as above I would have put more "episodes" of what happened in the three years past and I probably would have given Clara a different love interest (hint she was supposed to be  fall in love with a busboy/musician at her grandparents restaurant for 3 chapters but I thought it would be more emotional if I killed of a character already introduced.)

Chapter 5

Everyone is back in New York and just when Clara thought she knew what to expect she finds her whole family has been taken into police custody and she's next.

CHAPTER FIVE

Now with more pictures and less text ?

* The post font was bothering me. 

 Je' Ne Regrette Rien : Chapter 3

Chapter three was pretty straight foward I know it may have raised a few more questions but it is a mystery. I'm really hoping to have more Emile in this story because he is a character I really like.

Also I hit an unexpected stride with JNRR but I promise to take a post to catch up with Tomas and Sofia.





Chapter 4

Pictures

Yes as the title indicates I will try to place more pictures into this story. I've always felt that the story didn't have the right tone for pictures but I found some I liked. I wish I had more to blog about.

Clara is in England but everyone seems to be hiding something.. .even Rosalie, Mr. Fierro's moving back to New York and if Oleanders killed Martin that must mean. . .

Playlist

This chapter doesn't really have a playlist but I decided to throw in some Einaudi because his music worked so well in Desert Sand Iris.
