How It works
I'll just post the chapters and some things mentioned in the original post and maybe some extra stuff. Feel free to browse, lurk, ask questions, or just have fun !
I. Updates
II. Picspirations
III. Chapter 2 &3
Updates
Chapter 8 and 9 have been waiting pateintly on deck and are just in need of tidying up. My writing procress is literally all over the place since I keep working on each chapter out of order. I've hopped from 10 to 11, to 9 and then the end. I know nothing about 12 and have sort of lost count of how many chapters (no more than 15 though !) so we will see.

Um, Lile ? The post are password protected. What is happening ???
ReplyDeleteOMG, no this wasn't supposed to be published yet . . . oh well. I fixed it.
DeleteBonus points if you figure out the password (:
Oh, Yay it's unlocked ! It was so awesome to revisit these chapters. I definatley forgot some stuff and I feel like I'm reliving it. I forgot how much I missed this story !
ReplyDeleteI love this threaded comment thing !
DeleteDat Cake ! What a yummy picture !
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I thought one of Clara’s BIL inspirations was the red head from Modern Family.
Yes, I changed that one. I just wanted a guy with curly hair and glasses
DeleteLove the pics, they are so in character. But . . .I think Jonah hill is one of those few people who doesn’t get better looking when they get skinny. He looks really, off and kind of old.
ReplyDeleteI think he has actually regained the weight back
DeleteMr. Fierro knows how to decorate a house *shove Natee Berkus out the way* He should have his own line at K-Mart (:
ReplyDeleteOh, Honey. Mr. F is classier than Kmart !
DeleteWait, isn’t Rainer out of her jurisdiction with the DeLune case. If her was murdered in NYC shouldn’t it be Sam Waterson and Jerry Orbach’s problem ?
ReplyDeleteAlso, how do you pronounce Rainer ? Is it Rain-er aor Rain-ear or is it Run-yay ?
Excellent point. Clara raises this question in chapter 1.
Delete. . .And if I might add how is Rochester your jurisdiction”
“Martin was found in New York City, that makes it my case. Besides this is also a personal favor. Family friend in all.”
“Well then I hope you find out who did this”
In the end of HOF, Rainer becomes as NYC detective
What was now dubbed the 'Christmas Eve Miracle gained Rainer a promotion to the NYPD, but she would never leave the case behind, she would never leave me alone. - HOF Ch. 13
I did it for this very reason !
I hear it as Rain-er.
So, is any of this different from the original ? If so, how so ?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I added a bit more description and changed up a bit of the dialogue.
DeleteI love the last scene with Juliet. It was always the most vivid scene to me and a personal fave. I keep thinking it’s from a movie or tv show it is so clear. How did you find that amazing song ?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite too !
DeleteMr.Fierro calling Rose “angel” reminded me of Lost Angels. THen I began to wonder, will Tomfia be apart of this repost party ? eh ? eh ? Ooh, how about an ABG teaser or something ?
ReplyDeleteWell, I want to finish this off first. But I maybe I can do a post about Lost Angles and some inspirations.
DeleteOh, this is so exciting ! And all the pretty pictures, what a great way to get back into things. I'm sure you'll get your writing process back, it always amazes me how you can write out of order !
ReplyDeleteI get bored when I have to go through one part to reach another. . . so I skip it ! Of course it's like taking a test and you skip a question that has the answer to another question. (:
DeleteLacy, Victoria and Camille look like they could legit be sisters. They look so much alike ! It’s crazy. I thought one of them was Nina Dobrev for a second.
ReplyDeleteThen I have chosen wisely. I imagine this is because they both have dark hair and eyes. Or maybe that's just Hollywood for you.
DeleteOmg, Mr. Zegers--- DEM CHEEKBONES, I can’t even. He’s come along way since all those Air Bud movies.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he gets chills around Golden Retrievers.
Delete^^
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have to ask what ARE cheekbones ? Some kind of weird thing only girls notice ? You can't even see his ass in the picture !
If you have to ask, you don't have them
DeleteI can only imagine what the nanny must be thinking. I mean does she think Fierro is Rose's eccentric uncle or something ?
ReplyDeleteShe knows how they are related.
DeleteWhen Clara is talking about her Dad and describes his sharp tone, cold eyes, expensive suits. . ., I just imagine her looking at Mr. F and being like, oh crap Frued was right.
ReplyDeleteHints the ellipsis. Clara realizes this
Delete^^
ReplyDeleteSee I’ve always wondered if Fierro is all that cold. I think he is a weak person who hides it with distance and secrets.I can just imagine him breaking down and crying one day.
I think he cries in DSI. The thing is he is cold towards her. I love how you all use ^^ even though we can thread (;
DeleteI never thought much on it before, but I think there is something about Clarence . . . eh ? eh ?
ReplyDeleteI'd have to hear more
DeleteI honestly wonder how Clara thinks she can protect her mother and brother. She can hardly protect her own daughter.
ReplyDeleteGood point
DeleteLove the Seether song ! Which verision do you perfer ? I’m partial to acoustic. It descibes Clara perfectly to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced both songs are the same. I haven't listen to them in a while.
DeleteWait, so where did Mr. Fierro sleep ? *raises eyebrows* Love the reposts, but these were too short, I need MORE ! (:
ReplyDeleteHe sleeps downstairs the first night, and Clara takes the guest room the next night.
DeleteToo short !? I'll see what I can do !
Didn’t Joy have a picspiration at some point or were you still looking ?
ReplyDeleteStill looking, I think I have one now though.
Delete“Me ? I’m sure your benevolent psychopathic personality makes you perfectly innocent.” zing!
ReplyDeleteI love Clara she is so fierce at times.
She really holds her own in this story.
DeleteYes, an Emile sighting ! Although, I’d really like for Emile to open his door and be like “Not these fools again”
ReplyDeleteThen later he'd be like: “Ya’ll bet NOT be asking me to marry you !”
ReplyDelete( :
Delete^^
ReplyDeleteOr, a few years ago . . “You kidnapped Clara, Addison ? Aw, hell naw I ain’t got time for this. I’m calling the cops.”
LOL !!
Delete“ . . the dead are more vocal than the living.”
ReplyDeleteShould be the tagline for LL series IMO.
Yes, I kind of wish a more awesome character had said it.
DeletePerfection bothered me.
ReplyDeleteI think it bothers Clara because she is no longer perfect herself.
Also, grrr. . . I hate how blogger comments are all HTML. So barbaric !
Yes, Yes, Yes
DeleteI have a question . . who killed Mr.Delune ? I have to know ! ! ! ! I've waited so long ?
ReplyDeleteWell since you asked . . .
DeleteNo.
This was a little obnoxious. . . sorry (:
DeleteWhy so little Emile and his awesomeness ? (:
ReplyDeleteRose seemed comfortable with him, what is his relationship with her ?
I'm such a big fan of Emile. I really am (this is a discalaimer)
DeleteApart from Clara, Emile is the only constant in Rosalie's life. They are very close and he is her Godfather.
Oh,oh,oh ! Are their Oleanders on the cover ? I just got that from how Juliet described them !
ReplyDeleteYes, good catch
DeleteI couldn't resist, ya'll

^^
ReplyDeletelol, but he was a pretty cute non-awkward cute kid/teen in those movies ! Although he kept getting upstaged by animals !
The movie is called Air Bud not Air Kid, LOL. My kids are trying to figure out why the dog doesn't talk in the movie and want to know if it comes in 3D
DeleteI like threaded comments, it takes a little longer but it's a lot easier to read.
ReplyDeleteWhile not much changed you all caught on to some of the things I tried to make clearer !
