The Update Post or The Chronicles of the Ever Vanishing Man {Long Post}

So after another weird disappearance I came back. This time I was having major technical difficulties dealing with a very faulty Windows system, which all ended with a reinstallation of my PC and so on. Right now quite is going on in my life, even if everything is a string of tiny events. I don’t get to talk much about the tidbits of my existence.
Today I met my coworker at the office, who turns out to be the daughter of my godparents and well we went into major chit chat to catch up with what we missed around the years we have been out of contact. She is in the capital studying sociology and we don’t get to see each other much and we never were very close, but still very friendly to each other. Anyways it was quite fun sharing what happens with my life and so on. She is ecstatic about me being a writer and wants to read something of mine, which makes me think that I really need to edit my newest short stories, which sadly stay at hiatus, while I combat novel project.
Speaking of “Forged in Blood” I am on the final five chapters and Samantha is learning the ropes of being a femme fatale + bitch. She has it in her, just the transition from humility to I-can-kill-you-without-moving sort of aura is weird for her, although she likes it. Nearing the end I am seeing some loose ends mainly to deal with the other characters, which seem to fade away and I can’t allow this unfortunate sight. I decided to add a subplot with the second villain for the ending and well add some vignettes with different POV characters in the beginnings, but this will happen during revisions hopefully. They seem still too far away. I feel crappy today, so no writing sadly, but with a headache and upset stomach it’s best not to self torture brain. I will try to go to bed at 10 pm instead of midnight, which I usually do.
Hope that helps, cause I really look forward to ending this novel for three reasons: 1) I can show myself that yes, indeed I have the needed consistence to actually finish a novel, no matter how fickle and lazy I can get; 2) the ending is the best part of the novel for me, because I like evil overpowering women with sluttish behavior and knack for sadism; 3) I can’t wait to start my new project. Originally I thought of writing a paranormal romance of sorts with milder apocalyptic themes and more relationship with splendor of setting. However in my head formed three words after I hit my mom’s car: “Car Crash Dummy”. Add to that a horny possessive demon, a female exorcist and one of the Seven Deadly Sins and you get a weird tale that has to be told.
I also decided to venture out into a new medium that I always wanted to write for aka comic books. I have an artist, my darling model/photographer/soul mate of weirdness and art Svetlozara, to draw for me, while I write the storyline and such. She needs this too on her portfolio for her college application, so it’s a win-win. We are using my novella idea “Twisted” with the apocalyptic world and all. I swear I will write that one someday. I will send her comic book art so that she can start reading and practicing with the proper design. I have no idea when this will be ready, but it’s cool.
While we are the topic of visual arts: I am rescheduling my big “flashy” photo session for later in July, when I will have free Sundays for sure and till we figure out, where we can shoot in peace on Sunday, since people don’t usually work on Sundays. Before that one, we will do some classic black and white photos and one photo session with gothic words written all over her body. I want her to get them actually painted on her skin, so they look like tattoos and not use Photoshop for the words. We still have to figure out how to do this one.
With my PC back in action I have Movie Week resumed. I will post all in all 8 movies since last time I failed and I still have hard time choosing what movie is unique and specific enough to make the cut. The theme for the week is pretty vague, so I just choose memorable, strange movies with a different concept from the typical storylines. Today’s post is about the satirical comedy “The Onion Movie” ~ Be sure to check it out!
I still have much to talk about, but that will be for another post.
