Sparkle, Sparkle







 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

  1. This is so odd but, when I used tear stains I meant the red circles or dark splotches that shih-tzus get under their eyes and makes them look sickly. I have no idea why I used them in refernce to a person. I hadn’t meant to infer he was crying.

    Also, holy similar reoccuring events, hon ! Why are we in each other’s heads ?

  2. OOh, I love the title of this blog post. I also love Snow Patrol . . . they are the thinking man’s Coldplay . . . ie their European.

  3. Derek is up to something . . . I think he is cheating at the least.

  4. I so called Emile was going to be like an ordained minister or something on the side. He can do everything. I was going to post a joke comment about it before I read that he would be ordaining the wedding.

  6. I downed the rest of the champagne in my glass listening as the artist explained what off-the wall modernist method he’d used to create the ugliest painting I’d even seen.

    You have this phd art history candidate rofling at this line. Sounds like what my husband said when we went to the Louve . . .

  7. I really hope I don’t remember the people I’ve slept with 64 years from now.

  8. I kind of remember Clara’s family meeting Fierro but, how do they know he has a 4 year old daughter ?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Grrr . . . I feel like all we get between Juliet and Rainer are cliffhangers with no forward plot.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Aww, I loved the little fluff in the art gallery . . . was that in any way caused by SH piece.JK

    ReplyDelete
  11. I forgot, who was Rainer’s picspiration ? All I see is Mariska Hargitay

    ReplyDelete
  12. If they brought in Emile for the ceremony why didn’t they let him stay with them at Fierro's house. Also, awww I love that he is the godfather.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Clara is pretty deceptive . . . she knows how to work Emile to get him to agree with her. She could be the killer.

    ReplyDelete
  14. What are Clara’s sister’s last names ? I think Cal is really Colin and Cal is an abbrevaition of his name.

    ReplyDelete
  15. ^^^
    Using that logic it could be Claudia or Clarica also. I kind of get the sense Clarice was kind of the redheaded stepchild of the family before Clara had the car accident.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wow, they drink a lot at that dysfunctional dinner table. That reminds me I need to call Joel . . .

    ReplyDelete
  17. Was this the section you had to rewrite from scratch, I noticed there were a lot of lowercase ‘i’’s

    ReplyDelete
  18. Well, it’s kind of sweet they have dinner together as a family still. This could have totally been a double chapter post !please we need them !

    ReplyDelete
  19. I hate to get all PSA-ish but, is Clara a burgeoning alcoholic like her grandfather ? I mean it’s genetic.

    ReplyDelete
  20. So, techincally Clara is marrying an 75 year old man ? It seems like Fierro is more of an older person than he is a younger person.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Did Mr. fierro smoke in LL or is that a new development ?

    ReplyDelete
  22. How are they going to explain Fierro not having any family ?

    ReplyDelete
  23. They can say Emile is his brother. . .what that wouldn’t work ?
    Also, if I was a cop I would so put a ticket on an Aston Martin just cuz.

    ReplyDelete
  24. So, I guess next time is the wedding episoe ??? Y/Y

    ReplyDelete
  25. I know this gets commented on everytime but, the switch between 1st and 3rd POV is flawless. I never notice it and it does not feel jarring.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Why don’t they try and trace the killer through the posion drink and see how it got to his office . . . that’s what the piemaker and Emerson Cod would do . . . what ?

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love that ring ! Although TBH whenever anyone says engagment ring I go immediately to the Cate Middleton ring.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Other than not much happening, how is this chapter different that the others ? I loved the lighter moments . . they reminded me of the human aspect of the characters. It made them more likeable.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hon, I want to mention I love hearing your opinion on Will's End. I'd be your ghost writer anyday . . . but not to soon.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'm going to go ahead and say it :

    You can't have a Monet without money bada-da-tish ! . . . I'll be here all night . . . is this thing on ?

  31. @ Shawna - What do you mean ?

    @ June - LOL

    @ July - Is he ?

    @ Tabbi - I know right.

    @ Cerie - (:

    @ Harper - sorry, had to do it

    @ Ashlyn - It's easy to remember if it;s your first. . . oh did I let something slip ?

    @ Marianna - They realize that Rosalie looks like him.

    @ Heidi - that was specific to this chapter. Juliet and Rainer plot thickens soon.

    @ Topaz - No, it was an odd sequitor

    @ Sam_L - Um, I don't think I had one. I can see Mariska Hargitay but more Marcia Gay Harden

    @ Nybarista - Emile is there to visit his parents as mentioned in chapter 4.

    @ boston_girl - she is deceptive

    @ Quinn - I'll get to that

    @ Trish - Very true about Clarice but she was like this even before Clara's accident.

    @ Eirk - lol

    @ Illia - No, that section is still in progress

    @ Holliday - very soon

    @ Lana - Yes she is, I figured someone would catch on.

    @ Wendi - 86, but who's counting. Besides Bella and Edward did it.

    @ Rei - He starts smoking in HOF

    @ sugarcookie - We will (kind of) see.

    @ Ashlyn - Yeah, they couldn't pass for brothers.

    @ Ellie - Y !

    @ Violeta - Maybe if I made it 2nd person it would be jarring

    @ Wendi - That would be hard since they don't know where the poison came from.

    @ HPgirl - Really ? It's not very traditional

    @ Marie - The lightness is what makes it so different

    @ Shawna - Thanks for the offer.
