Remeberance Day

Annie - texture
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
- Laurence Binyon, For the Fallen

(I know it's the same lines of poetry I posted last year, but I can't think of anything more fitting. Plus I'm too ill and I've had too crappy a day to dig out my notes and get something better)


73768/ 200,000. I'm still only just on Schedule, but at least I'm on schedule right? My body count is currently at 9 but hopefully we'll hit double figures tomorrow :)

Day Nine

60000 words
60237/ 200,000


I caught up. :) Now I feel like I can go for 200k again. Last week was a blip. It didn't happen. I just lost confidence. Won't happen again.


But OMG Zach left the other vampires! He just walked out on Toki! How can he do this to me!? What the hell am I suppose to do with my carefully planned out plot now that he's screwed it all up? >_

Day 8

50000 words
Hit 50k today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and yesterday I met Kasorin of the spork room. Was too tired to post about that last night. She was awesome and wonderful and brought me chocolate!

I also managed to name one of my character's after Sinead Keenan (Nina from Being Human), I told her on Twitter and she got all excited about it. :P Bless her. I don't know how to tell her that I wrote the character in for body count though!! (Though the character's started being a pain and claiming to be the tragic love interest who went evil that Zach keeps hinting about so she might appear in the novel later on anyway)

I think i have an rsi. my left wrist is hurting me far too much to type. I'm scared. Really scared. I can't survive without typing. Not just my writing. Most of my social life is on the internet at the moment.

I'm really really scared.

Hmm

Okay I know it's not very good. I can fine tune it a bit later if you want. I just got annoyed at photoshop and gave up. But hey it's something right? :P

Pentacle
This isn't my usual pagan post. It is the solstice today and instead of doing a ritual with much chanting and incense burning I decided on a different approach.

Now some may say that this is the wrong thing to do and you are all entitled to your opinion, but personally I found this perfect. More perfect than I've ever felt anything to be before.

Over the last few days I've been very depressed. So depressed that I haven't been able to do much other than read.

And so I was hesitant to perform my usual ritual for the solstice. I felt bad for missing out but then it struck me.

All I want to do at the moment is read. So why not sit up a tree as I enjoyed a few years and read.

Of course my childhood tree, the appletree that standing in my garden was no longer an option. The branch I used to use to get up there was hacked off by my father a few years ago (which incidently was what made me stop going there in the first place. (I did try to get up there, and managed, but couldn't get the book up there as well and when I did get up there I got stuck and was unable to get down.)

So I went to the common down the road from my house. I spent a while to get up there and even longer trying to find a decent tree. And then I saw one that I could climb up. It looked hard, but managable.

The tree had a can speared on one of the branches by some careless person. I removed the can and in return the tree granted me access to the branches and gave me a seat of branches in which to sit in.

Alas my agoraphobia got the better of me and only twenty minutes passed before I found I could sit there no longer and had to return home. But those twenty minutes were the most perfect twenty minutes of my life. And I would risk the outside world just to have them again. :)

New To Do List

Since I've given into Zach and now will be writing his story in November rather than Jet's, I'm going to need a new to do list.

To Do:
            Finish Tears Fall in Forgotten Corner
            Read some of the books in my insanely long to read pile
            World building
            NaNo Plot One: Outline
                                         Cover
                                         Type up which side each of the gods are on ect.
                                         Characterisation: Cassandra
                                                                         Nate
                                                                         Raentar
                                                                         Taine
                                                                         Teresae
                                                                         Antemae
                                                                         Cancae
                                                                         Ravar
                                                                         Alternate
                                                                         Veres
            NaNo Plot Two: Outline
                                          Plot
                                          Cover
                                          Characters
                                          Rules of Vampirism
                                          Characterisation: Zach
                                                                          Zach's companion (also need a name...) Myra
                                                                          Vampire's who pick on Zach (again names...)
                                                                          Sime
                                                                          Toki
                                                                          Lato
                                                                         Nessa
                                                                         Aytar


I also need to work out how long Zach's been a vampire. I want to explore the feelings and emotions that he went through when he became a vampire which will be different from his companion's feelings as she also becomes a vampire. Maybe he could remember what he went through as he helps his companion through them? Ideas anyone?
Also if anyone knows some good vampire myths (no reflection, having to be invited, can't go out in sunlight ect.) then can you say in the comments? I want to try and research this and pick and choose the ones that I like best. :)
