Eleven and Twelve ! Nearing the end.

Cause Sofia wants to see Paris one day

We started from the bottom now we're here
I put the blog post and interesting tidbits from each one at the bottom of the chapter, instead of the top.

Unscripted
I started doing something in the process of T-DOLL that made sense in my head but I didn't explain. It was getting pretty lonely with just me commenting so I decided to let my Muse talk to express my frustration. Then I thought I should let Past!LiLe air out her frustration.

To account for my "renactments" I started using script format. So it's arguable the "LiLe "is the past version of me.  It was a fun way to put some variation on my commenting


Outlook
I'm going to do chapter 13 (cause it's 10,600 words. HOW ?) and then 14 to the end. Fun fact Chapter 13 without annotations is longer than the 14-Epilogue put together with annotations. *headdesk* .

Cause LiLe Keeps Tabs

Chapter 11 and 12

Miss. Cobalt 2013

 

@ NYBarista - Oops. My comment must have seemed super off topic. I was so caught up in chapter 11 where I use the term "the other other  other other x3 thing"again. In the context of chapter 8 I  was mentioning Juliet.

Chapter 10

This is it  !

This is the chapter where you either think I'm cute and drunk or a crazy egomaniac. Some of this craziness leaks over into T-DOLL : LL. Let's do this.

While it may appear simple in writing and storytelling, to me writing chapter ten and the rest of the serial was like my equivalent of those Miss. America viral videos. I started off good and concise. Then I sort of didn't know where I was going so I just kept talking and talking.  Soon I knew I was lost but I thought it I just kept going hoping that. . . maybe just. . . just maybe it would work out. Spoiler Alert ! It does work out (;



In which I write in script format AKA T-DOLL 9 & 10

Lost For A Title

I'm trying quotes to match the chapter

Chapter 7-10 are my favorite chapters. They were written in the midst of a slump and just before I began to tip over the edge.

CAPSLOCK
I though I should point out that when I CAPSLOCK for the most part I do it to avoid italicizing things so I wouldn't have to mess with all of  the reformatting. So I'm NOT yelling.


Secondhand Serenade
So I looked up ol' Secondhand Serenade and it turns out he has remixed Stranger. It's more Jason Mraz-y now. In other words someone gave him a Ukele.

T-DOLL : Spirits and Angels Chapter 7 and 8

Moving along . . .

 

I don't know what these are but I hope they have alcohol and coffee in them

Speaking of Hitting Walls
If it seems like I  may be harsh on S&A and to take a line from SH I hit a wall so hard around chapter 10 (Which is where T-DOLL has a slight breakdown). I was so caught up in LL at the time I  had no idea what I was doing with S&A.

P.S Shawna, I will hire someone to hack into your computer and find me those En Moritas drafts.

American Fairtayle Update
So, something I said in the commnets about this serial has changed. It's going pretty well it certainly feels different and I think it might be because it was drafted and  inspired so long ago. Considering the place I'm in in my life I can totally see some people may look to much into it and call it feminist propaganda but I swear it's not. . . not completelty.

T-DOLL : Litany Lane
So, yes this is so happening and I've done a thing  for this that I can not wait for.

So that's my blog for the day

Pancakes and Herbal tea ? Heath Ledger dresses are modest ? Cafe=Club and more characters who make LiLe *Headdesk*

3 and 4 who wants some more + Orignial Material Forecast

SHV +  The Place They Call The End Of The World
Shawna made a comment about me knowing her worker better than her and I am a VHSM scholar. I took so many notes so I could get that tiny flash fic just right. Ask me anything. Although I don't know what happens when Alan cries so. . . hmmm.  I checked out a cyperpunk glossary and I wanted to make the girl in my flash fiction  a Bioroid but once again it felt like it changed the plot to much.

Speaking of which the song that really got me going was Vitamin String Quartet's rendition of  . . . Thrift Shop. It was my original song to play during the chase scene. Some of their covers start of good but some sound  . . .off ?


Original Content ?

American Fairytale
So I think this could happen. I learned alot in the T-DOLL process about how to not *headdeask* , hit walls , create useless characters and cling on to Idiot Balls. American Fairytale is no where near the place it needs to be but give me 2-3 months. I wasn't going to post about this but it's in decent condition, better than I thought it was. It just need more DEPTH

 It will be a short (2-3K word chapter) maybe 8 chapters. It is about a 19 year old boy named Cillian O'Conner who has just gotten out of a year in Juvie and a year in Jail. Stop me if you've heard this. Also it takes place in modern day California.

It's had a website for about  2 years, but nothing is on it.  The title has been tweaked to Nightmare : An American Fairytale. This story is so insular that I can't imagine expanding it. See this post for more info


Novellas

Yes, novellas are coming. Novellas are fun and wall-free. Teenage Dream got me hooked on the idea of short little glimpse into characters lives. I have so many LL scraps (I approach doing anything Post-JNRR  cautiously ) because it was only supposed to be one story. Everytime I try a S&A based one it comes out . . . depressing.  A Halloween one may or may not happen.


With that said Spirits & Angels 3 and 4 ! (Using the full name makes it sound all fancy)

T-DOLL : S&A 1 & 2

 

So I might have to start actually blogging, since I don't have much to say in these post. Now I could focus on updating you on my progress with ABWG but it would look pretty bleak. I have an outline for ABWG  I know what happens I just need to fill in the blanks.

The Other Thing
So I promised I'd be more of a straight shooter, so yes LL is getting the T-DOLL treatment. Note how spaced out S&A is from the "Novellas".I'm doing this  mostly because I realize how many times characters seemed to carry an Idiot Ball during large parts of DSI.


Without further ado . . .

Is North-Pacific a thing ? Did I create the name of  a Gossip Girl Character, Is it problematic to keep calling my character a D-bag ? AKA S&A 1 & 2

The Diary of Linda Leigh - Ready, Set, Go

The Place They Call The End of The World 

The image I used for this story came from We Heart It. I was like SHE HAS PINK HAIR just like Minnie. Then I used some google-fu and realized that this photo was shopped. I also found this one but it's also shopped. ):

T-DOLL : Free Spirits 1, 2/3 . . . and 5 ?

To kick off T-DOLL I've decided to start with Free Spirits. Lost Angels is under Cobalt copyright o I can't get the full experience, also it's just to hard for me to comment on the abridged versions.

 I'll admit it was very hard for me to get loose and humorous in my commentary because of how serious some of the topics are. It got easier in S&A because there was just a bit of  Narm and Bowlderization as the story went on. . . and on  . .  and on.

Around chapter 10 of S&A I start to really let loose, because I had no idea what I was doing. SO MANY REGRETS.

I'm skipping section 4 of FS because FS was supposed to be Tomas' story. Sofia's part wasn't really important and it was mostly filler. I could have posted it with a bunch of strike outs but that seemed. . . mean.

I decided to do this in one big chunk but the others will be done in single or double chapters.


I never had any picspirations so I've grabbed some new ones.


Sofia Madeline Madigan Alexander &Tomas Jonas Alexander

I know I originally had Ben Barns but he's just a little to good looking. So Taylor Kitsch will have to do. I think 21 year old Christa Allen is a perfect Sofia

Are you ready to jump back in ?


Past the radar C-word, am I Canadian ? ,  LiLe fess up to having a Goth phase, Tomas' awesome one-liners and things get REAL AKA The Diary of Linda Leigh : Free Spirits 1, 2, 3,5
