Wrapping it all up

Where The Idea Came from 

In the midst of DSI I realized two things

1. I enjoyed writing Rosalie as a character
2. I could do a little better


When I wrote Litany Lane I was super hesitant about continuing it, knowing the characters would be outside the world of Nightfall. I though it wouldn't work. However I thought HOF was a good sequel . . except for the cliffhanger ending which is why Desert Sand Iris came along (not a big fan of this name) arguably DSI is the end of the series.

I created JNRR because I love me some Drama. I wanted to play with the idea of writing a family since S&A. I just had this image of Rose and Clara doing as SH  calls it"breaking bad"

JNRR was supposed to be  a stand alone extra and while the events are important they don't really alter how the story would end. I just had this vision of Clara being arrested (originally while teaching) and sort of going though a dark phase

Family Drama

So I had this plan to post ABWG and JNRR together because I wanted to tell two differnt stories about "young families". I've known since I created Rose that she would have very absent-minded parents. This was kind of a "take-that" to a grat comment (By Ashlyn ) about how child protective services wouldn't find Tomfia as fit parents and I wanted to play around with what it means to be a good parent.

With that said I have genuinely had a blast. I'm going to miss the etheral, tense and escapist world that comes along with these characters. 

Harper's Hollow

Harper's Hollow is not an indication of further stories to go. In the end I wanted the characters to be in a place similar to Litany Lane. Harper's Hollow is a quirky little suburban place that is almost oddly perfect and inclusive.

I found the name by looking at sub-division names. I mis-matched them till I found one I liked.

 I heard 42 by Coldplay and this was one of the first scenes I wrote. Although all this poppy new-age swing music makes me think things, it won't lead to anything. Although you all make me want to write some Peter/Clara. You also might be able to finagle a diary entry out of me, maybe some short pieces (No, LiLe stop this is how Saved By The Bell : The New Class was created.)

To Shawna

First of all I love the title Blessed Hearts. The world creatred in this story is highly imaginative, light, airy . . .
heavenly ? Since the first chapter and teaser I've been a bit obssed with the idea of  Blessed Hearts world being intermingled with Litany Lane and the character of Dark. I just have thoughts and i didn't get a chance to tell you when we were together. Maybe LiLe will start writing fanfiction. (: kidding !

P.S My Shawna Vance (Veritas) serial inspiration is called Darkness On The Edge Of Town. I'll wait for a few repost before I start writing fleshing it out.

The building in the background is the inspiration I used for the DeLune house. What is this building ??

Deleted Scenes
This scene takes place after part one of chapter 13,  it has some fluff but it didn't quite flow.
Taking Chances (inspired by the song Taking Chances by Celine Dione)

This other part was supposed to go after Clara finds the dent in her car and stabs the pie.
The Test

Moving On 

I'm going to put it out there that I have no plans to reboot Lost Angels, Spirits or S&A. I am going to work on Angel : Black White and Gray. While doing re-reads I'm shocked at what I put the characters through. Why do they allow me to do this ?

Angel Black White & Gray will take place back in Petal Brooke I don't see it being more than 8 chapters.

I have to tell you though I am itching to write a Love Story. It's been so long. Any ideas ?

Till Later
