Random Fact #45

I love to write, that part is obvious….but I’m scared to share it with many people because I don’t think it’s that  fantastic. 

I have, however, rediscovered a fanfic that I had started a while ago called On My Own. It’s dark and violent, telling a story about a girl who was used and abused and watched her sister and mother get killed by her step father…he tried to kill her too but she survived. 

The story is about her recovery, how she fights back, and how when the step dad finds her again, she fights back and this time she wins.

That being said - I’m tempted to rework it into an original fic and make it into my second novel. Even though my first one, Undercover, sits unpublished on my couch in my office. I just need to read through it and finish editing it before I start sending out queries. 

I didn’t realize how much I missed writing until just recently. I wonder what caused me to forget it and then remember it again. The only change is the Topamax.

(to the tune of i’m leaving on a jet plane)

My bags are (almost) packed, my tiara’s real shiny
I gotta buy more gels, but I’ll still bust some hiney
gonna make my trip on down to Disney Woooooorld….

Gonna hit the Expo with my sibber and best friend from childhood
then gonna carbo load, and rest up real good
before we dress up like princesses and maybe twiiiiiiirl…..

I’m leaving, in an SUV
Driving down to hang with Mickey and Minnie
Then gonna run the Disney Princess Half Marathon…..

It’s Sibber’s first half, she’s really nervous
We’re showing her all the tricks, So she earns her desserts
That medal she’ll wear will be her favorite ooooooone…..

Kat’s excited too, it’s a girl weekend vacation
No work or dishes, just silly conversations
and then a day riding rides and photo fuuuuuuuuuuuun………. 

I’m leaving, in an SUV
Driving down to hang with Mickey and Minnie
Then gonna run the Disney Princess Half Marathon…..

I’m slightly nervous, about this one
I shouldn’t be, it’s my fourth one
but I’ve been so stress out with work and liiiiiiiiiiife…..

I’m tired and cranky, and trying to get excited
I think I will be, once I’m done working for the night
and after one evening with dreamboat I’ll be alriiiiiiiight……

I’m leaving, in an SUV
Driving down to hang with Mickey and Minnie
Then gonna run the Disney Princess Half Marathon….. 

Then gonna run the Disney Princess Half Marathon…..

#writing#25 days of writing#writing workshop#iwrite

I love how my muse suddenly hits right when it’s way past my bed time and I should be asleep anyway.

Stupid literary muses. 

Hopefully you will last a few days or hours or whatever.

Cause I’m sleeping, and then maybe running in the AM and then baking all day and then I have a dinner party tomorrow night, and then it’s Hanukkah at that parents house.

Maybe I should bring a journal. 

Meh. 

Damn muses.

angsty music makes for angsty writing which makes for a happy Enig. don’t try to figure it out. it just works. Forcing plot bunnies away till NaNoWriMo is over, then I can indulge in the one shot or two. for now, it’s all NaNo, all the time….

Untitled - iWrite poetry

forgotten realities misconstrued
in empty glasses orginally filled with
ice water as it rolls down my face
bringing me startlingly awake 

it’s cold here

I am surprisngly warm; comforted
the biting teeth of Mother Nature
nipping and tucking elsewhere
leaving me to my sacntification

longing eyes rise to a figment
of imagination in a hearty prayer

forgiveness for nothing done wrong
yet determined to be washed clean
nonetheless

the wind finger combs my hair
leaving it tousled, in my eyes
blinding me from that which I
so desperately crave
and don’t need

screaming into deaf ears
soundless lips raise questions
asking prayers of forgiveness
blind eyes blink blink blink
and shatter into a waterfall of
self-hate and destruction

I’ve forgotten why I have come
lost in the reality of life in that
nothing is a story book

#iwrite#poetry#personal#writing#poem#i finally posted my writing#untitled poem

I'm officially signed up for NaNoWriMo. Add me if you want a buddy! (although it says coming soon? I don't get it)

#nanowrimo#iwrite#writing#novel

I'm seriously thinking of doing NaNoWriMo this year...

and basing it on a song or something. 

I don’t know what I want to write, but I’m going to work on an outline and see if I can come up with something in the next few days and if I do, I might sign up. 50,000 words in 30 days is doable, easy if I focus on it…but I work 2 jobs and am training for a second half, and blah blah blah…it just means carving out an hour or two a day to write. 

Which I could totally do, btw. Because me? I’m a diva when it comes to prose.

I just hope I live up to his expectations.

One of my FanFiction pieces is nominated for an award.

An Emerging Swan award. I didn’t even KNOW! 

Here’s an excerpt…

“Look at the picture,” she said, and he turned his head to look at it. “There is so much pain there, so much hurt that you can’t tear your eyes away. When I first saw this, I wanted to run and cradle the poor mans head to my chest and tell him that everything would be okay, that things would work out, that life isn’t cruel. But I couldn’t because I was certain after watching him for a while that he hated himself, not life in general like I thought.”

Edward turned and looked at Bella again, finding her staring at the picture on the wall with her head tilted. The dim lighting made her nose ring sparkle slightly, and he took this moment to look at what she was wearing. She was dressed in a pair of gray pinstriped dress pants, a ribbed knit tank, and a black vest that had what looked like it could have been tattoo designs on it. And she was barefooted. She turned her eyes back to him and smiled.

“I see pain there, and the truth is nothing in this world is worth that kind of self torture. It’s obvious that someone has hurt you deeply…but what I see here is that you are taking the full blame for that. What I can’t understand is why, when you deserve nothing but all the happiness in the world,” Isabella said softly. Edward shook his head.

“All I’ve ever known is pain and sorrow…I’ve never really known love,” he whispered. Isabella smiled slightly, and shrugged.

Editing a manuscript?

Way harder than I thought it was going to be. Having to pick through edits from editors that are legit concerns and personal preferences are not easy, and making changes that are well and good, but still keep the story is tough. 

But this is why I said a week per chapter. Do the minor edits of front, and then go back through and do the bigger changes as needed. Then find an English professor to read it again, and tell me if I’m still an idiot. 

Challenge accepted.
