Journal

Closer to the Dream

Journal Entry: Sun Sep 27, 2009, 10:14 AM

I'm not dead, but schoolwork has been killing me. ;-;

Hi, everyone! I thought it was high time I posted a journal, after a period of prolonged dA silence . . .

Original Fiction

The most exciting thing about life at the moment is that I've only got eight chapters left of Aurora. Eight. That's it. Eight. *bounces with glee* Needless to say I'm practically exploding with enthusiasm! :] I need to start looking for an editor and agent soon, but I want to get a full first draft done first. I threw together a 'soundtrack' for it earlier, where songs have inspired me, so I thought I'd post that for you guys to see. Maybe you can get an idea of some of the story elements from the lyrics . . . ;D I just wrote the first battle sequence of the book, which I think went quite well, though I ended up scaring the crap out of myself writing about the villains for the first time, and now I get to write about an explosion (like, omg). Squee, I'm so excited . . .

Anyway, I'll stop ranting. Here's the soundtrack; I think most of the songs are available on YouTube. Good luck guessing where they fit. ;] Keep your eyes out for more updates soon . . .

Fanfiction

As you've probably noticed, my fanfiction is slowly dwindling into hiatus. I'm desperate to finish Deux Claret, but whether or not I will is debatable at the moment. Renewal of the Lotus has now been placed on (possibly permanent) hiatus due to my lack of time to work on it -- sorry to those of you that were following it ;-; Keep an eye out for When We Dared the Dawn, but I definitely won't be returning to regular updates. I'm so sorry to those of you that have been faithful DC followers since How We Seared the Sky, but those of you who have known me for a long time will know how desperate I am to publish Aurora and become an author. It's my life's dream, and I do genuinely think that you'll enjoy Aurora just as much as DC, and will see some similarities. Thank you so much for your continued support; I don't know where I'd be without you guys! :3

Also . . . there is very good news for the series.

~DXIII has posted a prequel to the entirety of Deux Claret, entitled Deux Claret: How We Came to Be. Needless to say I'm squeeing with excitement over this, and I really hope you guys will follow it! It already looks fantastic *-* Please drop ~DXIII some reviews -- I'm extremely grateful to him for keeping the series alive whilst I take time off it, and I can't wait to see how the prequel develops. ^^

In other news . . . um, just school. Work. School. No wonder I write. -_-;

Hope you guys are all doing okay!

That's so exiting about your book

I am incredibly exited about reading it once all the editing and publishing have been done, good luck finding a publishing company

Extremely exciting! I can't to hear if your going to get your book published! And if they reject it, there are other methods of getting a book published. *takes out a cannon*

Aww, I wanted to see Renewal of the Lotus getting completed, but it's alright, we understand if you need to put it on hiatus. We can't wait until you update DC. Take your time, it's only eight chapters away! Go go go! We're rooting for you Rose! Schoolwork's been killing all of us.

Yay! Some songs to listen to! Good luck with everything hon'! Remember to have a nice cup of tea! XD

Good luck on your book. I know how you feel, especially with schoolwork, working on your book, and of course, the fan fiction. I put on my profile of FF.net stating that I am in grad school and that it will take up a lot of my time, so there will not be regular updates to my stories but I will update a chapter or do a one shot in my collections at least once a month.

Gongratulations for nearly finishing your book, I admire your determination. It takes a lot to write a book, and I share the same interest and dream, it's just that I can't start my own novel, it seems to take forever to develop the plot and other stuff.

And yeah, school is a pain, but don't give up, keep going! Good luck with your writing, we all are cheering for you here.

I wish I could live life five times over. Then I’d be born in five different places, live five different lives...and then, for those five times...I’d fall in love with the same person...
