Ugh...
Well, lucky, lucky me. I've been dealing with a sickness/flu of some sort since Thursday. Oh what fun. This marks my third day, and last, day off from work.

Back to four days of the salt mines and then I join the ranks of unemployment. *sigh*

I put my name in for subistuting in Waterford as well as the Friendship school, but we'll see what comes of it. If I get it will be $80 a day. I saw that Game Stop is hiring again so I'm for retail again, because i desperately need some cash. I found a free lancing website so starting next week I'm going to go away from creative writing for a bit and do some articles that will earn me cash. If anyone knows of some legit work at home websites it will be greatly appreciated.

My creative writing has been going really crappy lately anyway. I've been dealing with some serious depression issues which have a large part to do with no job.....

and that I'm 24......and I still live at home........

So depressing.

So lately, I've been taking a moment to look at my works and I don't like what I see.

Agh! I'm such a mess.

Damn that sucks. At least you have the courage to get away....and I hope I don't sound like like a complete hack.

Good luck.

It looks like the Helium website will let me post fics too.

I sorta had to get away, he kicked me out.
[/shrugs a little] His loss. -^^-

Im alright now, better than I was.
You take it easy on yourself!
Its okay to work alot, we all need the cash, but worrying over stuff when your sick doesnt help you get better.
Thanks for the good wishes. You dont sound like a hack. :P

I read the DGL origianl but I want to reread it. Its hard to pin point where exactly it seems to drag. No offense. I do agree that there is something. It lacks the oomph so to speak, the progression. I still love it though. -^^-

I think the problem is that I'm trying to rewrite as how I write the fanfiction version of DGL. I think I'm going to try it from an angle with Javeska already married.

That would be an interesting starting point. Defeinately able to draw the reader in. Then you can fill in the back story nicely. Itd be worth a shot.

It might be that or you might be trying to follow too closely to how the fanfiction was written. Great concept but harder to do with orginal pieces. They need to.. Flow? Idk, I rarely write fanfiction. My own characters entertain my muse. I love to read it but writing it proves difficult. ;D

Well, the idea of the beginning is forming and I decided to start it off in the once upon a time notion. I am so ripping off Joss Whedon and the writer of the Angel episode if Sense and Sensetivity in the prologue.

I think after that I will get into the royal gathering that Javeska was supposed to go to before King Leonard's death. I'm actually having fun playing with how her husband, whose name I can not remember, can not quite see her as human. I'm exploring into playing with the notion as the wife and crown princess as more of an idea and not a person so that he is surprised and intrigued by the fact that she is still in mourning and a human being in pain, but can not bring himself to be concerned. I want to make her a means to an end without being an object of conquest. I don't think this will be quite as controlling because if he doesn't see her as human he won't see her as something that need to be restrained....

I am babbling. Why did you let me babble?

;P

Because babbling gets the juices going and lets you sorta outline the plot in your head.
:P

I like that idea, it seems like a good way to start and the summarizing of the before would be great. If you need to you can always dip back into the past to reveal more about it and stuff later on.

See, my ex was controlling and he only wanted me to be 'broken.' Him seeing her like that would be sorta the same thoughts we all have regarding higher up people. Sad, but true. Shes just an idea, so why should she care?

Idk, now Im rambling!
