Dec. 18, 2009 - Songs..
So, i'm trying to write a poem about songs. I have a rough draft, but I don't like it..there is something missing. I am getting ready to turn on some songs to help me think. Have you ever done that? or I guess I should say, do you have a technique when you do something? My technique is: I start up this play list I have that helps me think. I close my eyes and then open them and write down anything that's on my mind. After I am done writing my thoughts down, I put them in a poem/story/song. But today. that isn't really working for me. If you have an ideas on how to help me, please leave a comment. I would greatly appreciate it =) Well, I think this is all for today. If I write something i'll be sure to post it.
Thanks for reading about my crazy life.

Monday 14 December 2009 - Hot tea and cold days - and the trouble with plots
Recently I have faced many ups and downs with my writing, mostly with the Hemlock books. I have had far too many plots and characters for the series and, after much work and arguing – which included death threats and dagger pulling, making me long all the more for my sword – I have come to terms with everyone and we have settled on many things.
Hemlock is now a six book series. I completely took out Trisli's plot and am using it for another series I am planning – which just had a cool title and a character with a cool name. Trisli is still in the books but I do not go into the story of – oh wait, that would give away a plot. Moving on.
Also, I am pleased to announce that, as I have finally finished the final version of Despair and Hope, it is now being edited. I am in the hopes of completing editing by May at the latest and seeking out a publisher soon. Among changes in this book is the change in title which now appears as:
The Tales of Hemlock
The Stranger
A Story of Despair and Hope.
Another quirk I am trying to work out is Theobald's hood. I have been debating changing it to a mask but have yet to find one that suits him, me, and the plot. It is terribly hard to de-mask a guy, ten times easier to de-hood him. Not to mention I have been having interesting dreams about the Lone Ranger since then.
Book two has also changed in that it is now book three and there is a new book two. In this book Reid returns out of the blue. Need I say more?
Then there is that death scene I wrote for Maddock but which was strongly voted against by many of his adoring fans. I still determined to use it on someone and made a character for it, only when I wrote it it was lacking in something. Roderick could not pull it off. So, Roderick lives – and Quentin has offered to take the scene. Rather he was voted in to it being I would not be killing off one of the main heroes while at the same time making it sad – yes, that was an interesting debate.
While book one is coming along very well book two is struggling. I am uncertain about the plot and am therefore going at it more slowly then I normally do. However, I have not stopped writing all together and am reviving a story that was about to be sent to the black hole. The character in it gave me some major problems – kidnapping the muse I share with my best friends and holding her hostage for a whole night. However, I think everything is better now – at least I hope it is. I shall keep everyone updated on that but for now I have to be off as the character is calling

Dec. 10, 2009 - Bible verse =)
~So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6-7~
I love this verse, it reminds me of the song Speaking Louder Then Before by Jeremy Camp. I really like that song!! Well, I need to start school now, Will post more later!!
Thanks for reading,
