Musings of an Otaku

Title: Mountain Lion

Challange #2: Words, words, words

Length: 856

Source: One of the many moments out of the life of Kaiyla, one of the main characters out of a two part series. This should be book 2: The Hunted. We'll see if I ever get book one finished....

Emotion: Unease and stalling.

This quick piece was originally for the writing group started by Scithian File. The first exercise was to do the voice of an inanimate object and I jumped at the chance to give voice to Venya's (the original counterpart to Kikyou in DGL) swords. I never got to post it because I didn't see it until after the date so I couldn't post it. I'm hoping that they'll give us more time for the next exercise.

For those of you who actually read this - enjoy!




This is proof that I am writing again, I'm just having difficulties finding motivation. Inspiration and plot bunnies are rapid and abound. It's that pesky motivation that is hard to come by when you are unemployed and depressed.

Hopefully I'll be able to do some volunteer work at L&M. It would be a great help for getting out of the house part of my depression.

Ok, I got the rewrite for the prologue finished a couple of days ago and now I'm finally posting it.

I swear I'll get back to posting on Sunday. I mean it this time.....

after it's not like I have a job....or a life.

Gagh! I'm getting depressed again.

Ok, I am having issues with coming up with the title for this piece. Any suggestions would be great. This piece is kind of going to be a spin-off of Mulan 1&2. I've always loved that movie... ^^

So here is my Sunday updates. I'll be transferring all of the most recent writings sometime this week to the hard drive on my computer. Hopefully next weeks updates will have a bit more meat then the most recent ones.

It's better then the last couple of days even though it isn't much. Think of it as drabbles.

Ok, the last updates have been pathetically short, but for the time being, this is how it will. I would wait and do the updates on Sunday but the last time I brought a flash drive to work I lost it, so for the time being.....

 

 

Well, it looks like I may not have an update tomorrow. I was working on some of my pieces at work and my flashdrive got misplaced. Fortunately, it looks like the intern picked it up so I should have it on Monday. So unless I come up with a new idea for a story there won't be another update tomorrow.


Well, I was hoping to have a part time job for this season at Borders Express and I found out today that previous managers did not want to hire me back because I didn't interact with the customers. At least that was the excuse. Now, I don't know exactly what to say about that. Because I know that I was always looking for customers to help when it wasn't busy. So there was probably another reason for it. This sucks because I absolutely refuse to take any time away from Godiva. I think the thing about this that bothers me the most has to with the fact that because I have the hardest time with self-esteem. Especially since I've been job-hunting for over a year. I think I'm over that now, and I am grateful for the hiring manager for being blunt and telling me why she was reluctant to offer me a job. Because she was willing to give me a chance to prove myself, but I think that the whole situation would have just been awkward....

Fortunately, the amount of money that I am aiming to save is $2 k, and even without the overtime that I will be required to put in I will have that amount. So now my goal is to find a job in either Boston or somewhere in New Hampshire by January. Even though I'm trying to stay away from retail and customer service, if I don't have a job offer by mid January then I won't have much of a choice. I have to get the hell out of CT and a place in New Hampshire by the beginning of next year, preferably as soon as the season is over for Godiva.

So I've decided to say screw the second job for the time being. On a side note I got a $100 check from my aunt for graduating from college, officially. I was shocked because I know that she is currently having financial and personal issues. In addition to the Godiva gifts that we are sending to the family this year I am going to send her a box of the G collection as a thank you.

 Ok, this is the last one. It's short.

 She was the victim of his greed and quest for power. She could no longer remember who she was. The only name he called her was "Pet", yet he never touched her. She had something he wanted and to get it her body needed to remain pure. It was only through the actions of his enemies that her fate was changed for the better. Her salvation had silver hair and golden eyes.

 This is the sequel I swore I would never write to A Moment in 2034. It was created using the image of cuddle.

It is only through the comfort of the one who loved her that she was able to find salvation from her personal hell and start the journey to becoming the woman she once was.
