Much random stuff, because ranting about writing in my other blog have become such a ritual that people must be bored of it. And so I bore people here who probably won't know about it because no one but two knows of this place where I also rant. Good good.

You know, sometimes I can think so far ahead, and see so many things that probably wouldn't happen yet, and let myself got so down by that. One being the fact that I want to write at least 10 books of couse. Really, I can dream of publishing the first book, and then I can imagine the fact that I might not be able to write the next few books because I'll be too busy, and then what would the readers think? See, too far ahead. SInce I'm not even halfway done with the first book, or the first story as I now call it.

I have so many different plot ideas now that I don't know how to fit in the whole series that I've planned. Some ideas have been there for a while, but I've never actually paid much attention to it, having no solid thread for it. Some ideas are different and new, and shock even myself - the person who is supposed to know everything about my own novels - but I don't know why Daniel suddenly revealed his secrets to me, and I'm shocked and happy at the same time. (Chitra says that I often speak of my characters like they're so real, and living with me, which they do, actually.) And yeah, like the idea of that glass bridge. Where would it fit in my stories? And the one of the cave of souls. Wasn't it supposed to be just a metaphore? When did I begin to seriously consider it? And which story should it be part of? Oh, not to mention the whole existence of a red light district in my world - where on earth did it come from?? Must be the pictures Mindy showed me. Gah. Gah. Gah.

Ashley used to own a dog - a labrador, black - named Chance, who would speak midway through story 1 but I scrapped the idea because while I like dogs, I don't love them, and my own dog isn't treated so well, so I wouldn't know how a true owner loves his/her dog. But coming here and meeting Stella, also a black dog, but not a labrador, I'm seriously considering the idea. But maybe in another series/trilogy/novel. Cause seriously, Ashley would be so trodden down by the dog who continues to want to dominate the owner.

~

I'm imagining a scene in which Ashley dresses up for Senior High Prom Night, and Daniel holds her hand and twirls her around, and she really feels like a princess, and it seems so much like a dream because he's here, he's real, and he's holding her so close that she can see the flecks of brown in his eyes of green.

I write so much romance that I nearly puked at the 4000 words or so that I wrote for the beginnings of each chapter because it was so darn cliche, cheesy and romantic! Sheesh. Now replotting, and I have no idea why the hubby wants to stick to a woman who's a bitch, even if she's hawt, beautiful, sexy, and smart. Okay, now I see why. But why kill for her then? Ahhhhh~

~

I have so funny things in my stories which is about 13 different people, with my main character being Ashley. See, there's the whole thing of looking down on Halflings, and there's also the whole disappearance of a race that caused the low percentage of Healers - on this note, my elves and fairies and dwarves can actually get sick, and become blind, have loss of hearing, and get Avian flu. Hilarious really. Cause they're like humans. Just a bit more receptive to their surroundings, and have better senses - and oh, reincarnation, whole shades of grey thing, and yes, the bad guy kills and tilts the whole dimension because he wants to revive a human wom,an whom he loved and she died. Isn't that sooo cliche or what?? But the idea is stuck, and I can't think of why else he wants to break the whole dimension apart to revive people. Oh, and I'm adding golden apples in the orchard of life, and a glass bridge high up in the air with floating rocks. and birds which can predict the weather.

Am I nuts or what?

~

I love Ashley, Daniel, Natalie, Jake, Nicky, Alex, Dameon, Aaron, Tru, Peiling, Kassie, Ryan, and Erin. Oh, not to forget Aeriphmer and Michio. Oh, and I think Ashley might just die at the very end of the book, cause a heroine who lives is just not tragic enough. And I love Romeo and Juliet, so Daniel might die too, and they'll be reincarnated and live happily ever after. Oh dear.

~

I'm so frustrated.

~

Why can't I just write something fabulous in just seconds??

~

Oh I know, impossible.

~

But just leave me be.

~

I'm being impossible, see?

~

And did I menion that I'm imagining a scene between my books in which I meet my characters and tell them half of you will die, but people die all the time so what. And then I tell Jake, hey, you're prettier than I though. Man, I have a fetish for pretty boys. Shit. And then I tell Dameon, oh man, I love your eye patch. And will you be doing a threesome with Nicky and Alex? Ah, I'm sick.

Bye.
