| Original: Truths Unseen, 3rd time's not the charm (1/2) |
[Dec. 31st, 2008|11:55 pm] |
3rd time's NOT the charm! Did NaNoWriMo again this year, this time with more pressure because I made a pact with RL friends that we'd share our work with each other after. It's one thing to share with online friends who've seen my stuff before - I don't mind that as much, because we all write on the Internet. We know what to expect from each other. But with people you've never shown stuff to in real life? That's a little more nerve wracking.
In any case, we agreed, and so here it is, 3rd time around on NaNoWriMo (yes, yes, I know that's against the rules, but I'd rather not waste the rare effort I make in writing). This isn't the official NaNoWriMo version that I submitted - I plugged in the parts I wrote from last year to fill in the gaps for the rest of you.
Original: Truths Unseen. Young Adult. Philippine mythology. 11.7k+ words.
( Sala wasn't sure if they could handle the target, but they pressed forward with the plan anyway... )
Post too large, it says! Next part here. |

Defend yourself, my lady. I will not be gentle.
--
I wonder if it would work better with a semicolon. I know I could use a comma if I said "for I will not be gentle" but I wasn't going for that sound.
Rambling over a single line. It's no wonder I hardly complete anything. ^^
By the by, many thanks to for the birthday gift - a subscription to Writer's Market! *glomps* One step at a time, ne? |

| [YYH] The Lines are Drawn |
[Mar. 7th, 2006|10:43 pm] |
Title: The Lines are Drawn
31 Days Theme: March 7th/Hate blows a bubble of despair
Series: YYH
Character: Koenma/Botan
Rating: G
Notes: Writing because I need to get out of my rut. Written for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) 31_days. This short coming from an epic Koenma/Botan fanfic I haven't got around to writing. Rushed, unrevised, short.
( As a ferry girl, Botan wished for a lot of things. Once upon a time, she wished for him. Now, she went to him, knowing that it would never be possible, but hoping, hoping that something could be salvaged. )
OKAY, I seriously need to sleep now. @_@ |

| Drabble for "Answered Summons": Attention, Please |
[Feb. 1st, 2006|11:55 pm] |
This is long overdue, like many of my projects.
( A late, late, late gift for Misty: Answered Summons drabble. Original. Word count: 275. --It irked Lucette how unfair it was that Gabi could rule her nightmares but she couldn't even sustain his glance.-- )
This is my most recent concrete story idea, dating back to late last year. I'd say if I were to seriously pursue publishing a YA novel, "Answered Summons" would be my second choice because its plot is typical of manga. I guess that's why I like manga and anime so much – their storylines have a lot in common with mine, so much so that when I get a plot bunny, I discover later on that it's already been done. ^^;
On the Writing To Do list:
- Finish romance short story (begun here) – "Constancy"
- Brainstorm for YA novel (intro is to be rewritten) – "Truths Unseen"
- Write the first chapter of Riven (yes, I still have yet to write it, despite having the entire plot already worked out. ARGH. Lazy me.)
I really must learn some discipline when it comes to writing. *is so very lazy* |

| Getting into the flow |
[Aug. 20th, 2005|10:57 pm] |
I live! I haven't been writing- really been writing in ages because of a project I needed to do in order to graduate. But now that my graduation is secure, my creative juices are starting to flow again.
I've been itching to "finish" off this Ragnarok fanfic for Alessa so I started there. I also owe someone a happy story, which has been incredibly hard for me to write because it's not my genre. Fantasy or fate captures my imagination, but not regular love stories. @.@ Anyway I reread my nth attempt the other night and have decided to continue it because the story is way past due. Eight months overdue, in fact.
( The beginning of the short story. Blah. But I don't care anymore! )
I'm going to try to keep the story as short as I possibly can. I don't want to get bogged down with details. I just need to figure out this big gaping plot hole in which the two actually get together.
Hmm. I think I just thought of something. Cliche here we come! Will post when I finish it. Which will be ages from now.
In other topics, I'm thinking of adding fangirling about manga/anime to the theme of this blog. I know I read Shoujo Magic manga more often than I finish writing pieces, so... |

When I look back at my total entries here and the time I've had this account I see that there hasn't been much at all. That's how writing is for me, a hobby I keep on the side. But it's a fun hobby, don't get me wrong. I love it especially when an image so strong that it's like a vision gets a hold of me and the only way to purge myself of it is to write mentally by thinking it out or to actually write it. The most satisfying method, of course, is to make it into digital reality. I've had lots of "visions" but I rarely get around to writing them.
( Some examples. )
This is the latest such idea I had to get out of my head. It involves the random shard I posted in my last entry which is the heart of the idea but this time with the rushed little background that goes with it. This kind of stuff is uncharacteristic of me, as many will agree, so bear with it.

Don't you make that face at me. -_- |
