As most of you know it has been a long road for me and for the members of Cobalt. In the middle of everything I have been through I was fortunate enough to finish, The Harder They Fall. It was a way for me to deal with all of the issues I was dealing iwth
With that said it has been very difficult for me to get back to Je Ne Regrette Rien and even Angel Black White and Gray because these works have a bit more of me and my emotions in them.
To be honest I don't know how long it will take me to get back to the person I read in my previous posts.
However for a few minutes out of the day when I am able to interact with readers it really does brighten my day. I've gotten a lot of support from Cobalt fans and that has meant the world to me. I want to be able to give something back, so I hope this post helps.
I'm aware the LA magazine has some information regarding some of the things that have been happening and I must agree that JB's comment on our tragedy speaks volumes. and by comment I mean that my mother was a matriarch in a modern sense of the word and we will never stop mourning her.
For those of you who are friends I'm willing to share more personal thoughts
I'd like to dedicate the remainder of Je Ne Regrette Rien to her.
Chapter 6
It has been a long time. Chapter 6 was a filler chaper but it bares somes connection to August, the short story collection I wrote. Chapter 6 acknowledges that Claudia and Mr. Fierro have met before (he has also met Clair but she doesn't remember). Rosalie just happens to look a lot like her parents so Claudia but two and two together.
Music
Music has always been apart of my life and I have found some inspirational songs to keep me going and one song that I absolutely love, but is not featured on this playlist
Chapter 7
There are so many parts of this chapter that makes me uneasy and I fought with myself on whether I should change it but I didn't, so I ask you all not to hold back on anything.
+1+ - Supermassve Black Hole - Muse
+2+ - Unchained Melody- Righteous Brothers
+3+ - Warm Whispers - Missy Higgins
+ 4+ Crash Into Me - Dave Matthews
Just posting this is making me feel better already. (:
Chapter 7



I am so glad you posted, after all it is Friday the 13th !
ReplyDeleteWow, holy similarities. Seriously, it is so erie but, I promise I had my serial mapped out months ago.I promise.
I loved the harder they fall. Will there be anymore Lile novel ? I promise I will buy 300.
ReplyDeleteI think you are so brave for putting yourself out there with these novels. I just want you to know from the very beginning you have been my inspirtation. After reading Lost Angels I finalized my nursing major. Now, I have a great job and I feel so fortunate every day. I look up to you and you are one of my heroes. When I saw the news about your family I called my mom and we talked for 3 hours. That's longer than my whole high school career probably. Stay stong lile. *internet love*
ReplyDeleteOn topic : Mrs. Delune is pretty mean to her grandaughter. Does she know what Martin did ?
ReplyDeleteI think it speaks to the writing integrity that you didn't take stuff out. Some of the most acomplished writers write fictionalize the hard stuff in their lives. And you aren't even doing it for money.
ReplyDeleteSo, in-universe-- What exactly gives Emile the authority to sign a marriage certificate. I mean, if it's because he is just made of awesome I understand. (:
Aww, you are so lucky I am probably only one of the few people who will ever read what you wrote. I hope to one day understand the complexeties of a relationship like yours. . . Now, how much are you going to pay me not to post it all over the internet. jk.lol (;
ReplyDeleteI love you Lile ! Your writing is awesome and my good thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Stephanie Meyer is rolling over in her money pile for you using Muse. Seriously though, you made me love Muse a little bit.
I am so glad you are updating. I knew you would write on Friday the 13th !
ReplyDeleteClaudia had stepped into my path and seemingly into my mind. My sister and I are like that. I loved that line.
Like everyone else I'm sending positive thoughts--always have been, always will.
ReplyDeleteWhat doesn’t Clara use Fierrro’s first name around her friends ? I mean, why does she have to be careful about it ?
Go, DIAF bitch ! ! ! !
ReplyDeleteThis sucks, go find a gas chamber to step into.
ReplyDeleteI really hope you are doing well, Lile
ReplyDeleteAww, a bit more Fierro/Clara fluff, I loves it !
@Da Haters-
ReplyDeleteScrew you, guys. Seriously ? Ugh.
I love that unchained melody song, it is amazing ! It's tots playing at my wedding. Will you be sharing the inspirational song that kept you going. I totally believe in the power of music.
^^
ReplyDeletelol, the power of music! It's kind of like the power of friendship but, with a dance beat.
I kid. . .I kid.
My heart literally ached for Clara when she found out Fierro wasn't coming. I'm starting to think he isn't worth it.
The cover for THTF is yummy !
ReplyDeleteI feel like the signing of the certificate thing was bittersweet. They didn't seem particularitly enthused about it.
So . . . they make black roses
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete@ Shawna - I'm convinced we share a muse. I'm sorry did not comment I was not up to it.
@ July - I don't know, honey
@ June - You've brought tears to my eyes. I wish you well if you ever need anything contact Cobalt and let me know
@ June - I'm not sure yet
@ Quinn - I had a reason let me dig through my notes.
@ Jason - LOL (:
@ Biteme - A little bit ? come on !
@ Cerie - Everyone comments on the date
@ Bostongirl - She just doesn't do it and I'm sure people will think it is wierd.
@ Frenchkiss - ?
Was there any thinking behind the fact that black and white are kind of the colors of a funeral also. I actually though the while Mrs. Delune in a black dress was a callback to the funeral.
ReplyDeleteI love that we get to interact with you. Your writing, your works of utter fiction have brought so much joy to my life. I need a drama outlet sicce they canceled half the soaps for talk shows !
ReplyDeleteAlso, A Delune party looks like fun !
And, if you came to NYC Lile I'd give you a Frap for free !
Aww, yeah Rainer caught the bouqer. Who is she going to marry ? . . . oh, just read the next paragraph. I hope she lives !
ReplyDeleteOMG, I need answers it is killing me. We need to get our whodunit poll solidified in the forums and you introduce another character ! *brain explosion*
ReplyDeleteYou keep me on my feet Lile !
Go rot in hell, bitch. No one cares about you so gtfo.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete@ Cherry - I'm getting better at the fluff
@ Helen - "Da haters" I almost rofld. I may use the song.now I'm afraid SH will use it.
@ Ashlyn - Honey, I love that quote. I love it
@ Selena - I think Clara knew something was up
@ Erik - google, honey. I meant to make it white because her hair is black. . . but you don't care
@ sugarcookie - Yes, she could have worn a white dress.
@ Nybarista - I haven't had one in so long
@ Topaz - me too.
I love the warm whispers song, I am actually listening to it on repeat right now. It fit the moment so well.
ReplyDeleteI went through a hard time myself and I have to say your writing always brought me back. It ws just like this fun thing to do.

ReplyDeleteSo, do we have enough clues to feasibly put together what Rainer did? Or does she know something we don't know?
ReplyDeletePrincessA - (:
ReplyDeleteRei - I stole that song from SH. It really stuck out to me.
* Sorry guys I had to delete some comments for language I usually don't do that
@ Sam_L - I think a few of you almost put it together.
ReplyDeleteWow, getting hit with a car as soon as you find something out is so Scream4 or True Blood.
ReplyDeleteI just feel so bad for Clara, I can't imagne being so disconnected from an old life and disconnected from a new life. I could go on but, I need time to process. Unless it is a symbol for growing older for something.
ReplyDeleteClara got left at the altar ?
ReplyDeleteI aint even mad, tho.
JK, but seriously. She left Peter so, it's kind of even. That's all I could think about.
I think someone is going on Sybil on people. Am I close ?
ReplyDeleteI love how Clara had an "I carried the watermelon" momennt with Fierro over the whole room thing. It made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI think I need more Muse to make a final decision on whether I like it. Will there be more Muse ?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete@ Appletini - It was inspired by true blood
@ Carleigh - something like that
@ Dawn - Yes, but for her and peter is was mutual
@ Tabbi - In what way ? (not that I would tell you but I'm intrigued
@ HPgirl - Yes, that is a good way to describe it.
ReplyDelete@ Cerie - No, but I'll see if i can find something
@ Lile-- Hey, My future wifey has black hair (right?right?) I should know all this flower crap.
ReplyDeleteHow like Sybil didn't realize what her other personalities were doing. So, maybe Clara is doing all this and she doesn't realize it . . . yep, that is my final answer.
ReplyDeleteMy cell service was knocked off. I'm sitting in my office and just re-reading every word you have written. Yes, with all the internet, I am that bored.
ReplyDeleteI also re-read every e-mail you ever sent me. We can be so awful. Also, I should send you some of the crap "Blaine O'Beal" sent me.
ha hahah just realized joel has the same initials as Justin Beiber. OMG, Lol ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ROFLCOPTER, LMAO, LMFAO, ROFL, FOOMCROFLMSHCSL
ReplyDelete@ Joel - That's what you get for having At&T. . . can you hear me now ?
ReplyDelete@ Erik - Made my day !!!
