New Blog for Soulle

Taking the advice from wengsun, I've created this blog for Soulle. Only for Soulle, and some other interesting stories and authors as well. Though I've planned on it in the first place and someone said I should add some personal blogging in soulleandlove.blogspot.com... I changed that blog and now, I'm creating a new one in the image of the first. Repeating history? Lols. I'm importing the parts I've posted on the previous blog to this one. So, you won't find it in the previous blog anymore okay? Anyway, so yeah, enjoy the story, or well, parts of it. Cheros!

Inspiration, Sneak Peak

I got some more inspiration today. See? I told you going back to school gives me more inspiration than the holidays can. But what sucks is that it forces me to balance writing, work, cca, family, and rest together. It's already hard without so many things. How I wish SYF was over already. And I already caught up with the speed of lessons. But regretably, I have not..

Back to the topic of my inspiration, I added another part. Only a few paragraphs. But if I keep this up, I think I can finish maybe half the book by this year. I hope this works out. And nothing disrupts my feelings. Otherwise the characters won't turn out right and I'll end up like Stephenie Meyer when her unfinished book was posted on the net and she felt so bad that she had stop writing for awhile. If a writer continues to write with his/her feelings in chaos, the characters will end up in a really bad shape. I don't want anyone in Soulle to become not who they are.

Anyway, I'll show you a sneak peak. It's subjected to changes, but still, it's nice. Hahas. Read the sneak peak with the third song or the fifth song playing ok? It'll make things more emotional. Hahas. Just to confirm, the song titles are Inochi no Namae and River Flows In You respectively. Click on one then read the sneak peak. Cheros!

Five.

SNEAK PEAK

With one hand, Ethan pushed my head a little to the side for easier access to my neck. His right hand held onto my arm for support while he bent forward, his steady breathing hot on the the skin of my neck.

Hot, not warm, air was breathed out by people like Ethan as heat causes blood to come up to the surface of the skin, making the process more enticing. I heard Ethan's upper pre-molars changing their shape into long, sharp fangs and I closed my eyes, bracing for the pain I had heard so much about from my mother's old friends.

Ethan gave a low snarl, as if he had decided something, and bit down hard on me without any sign of hesitation.

He must really hate me.

Surprisingly, the only pain I felt was a needle-prick like feeling where Ethan had bit me. I could feel my blood rushing to my upper torso as he drank.

My head and neck felt like they were floating after a while. It made Ethan's forcefulness seem like a passionate kiss. I smiled lightly at the thought.

Since I felt no extreme pain, I wondered what the rumours were about, when I realised I was losing blood much too quickly. I was able to replenish blood 12 times as fast as a normal healthy human could, yet I was losing so much blood in so little time that I felt faint. My body became numb enough for me to barely notice Ethan's grip tightening on me.

A slow but increasingly obvious freezing sensation crept up from my legs to my head. It wasn't just cold, it was pins and needles in my entire body, except that these were icicles that were piercing every inch of my insides instead.

Inkheart and me

Wow, I just watched Inkheart and you know what happened? I just can't wait to become a writer immediately. And a story-teller too. The girl, Maggie, was both a reader and a writer. Whatever she reads come to life, or well, happens, to be more precise or general. She read the writer of a book into his own story. Isn't that just wonderful? If I could go into my own story, then, wow. That would be the life. Magic. Everything I could ever want. I just can't help but say 'wow' over and over again. Do you know how I feel right now? When I just saw the making of a writer? Maggie's just, well I don't know, GREAT! Ha! I just envy those writers who can come out with such wonderful and amazing ideas for a book. Reading and watching a story unfolding right in front of my eyes, it's a wonderful feeling. Just like writing your own story and imagining it coming to life in your very own imagination. It's more than magic. It's just, heaven! It makes my heart pound so quickly in excitement to just think about it. Wow..

But, homework just have to spoil my mood... Actually, not really. I'm just too happy to know a new story and know that my own will come to completion one day soon. Oh, I just love reading and writing! I can't wait to have time to continue on Soulle again. I can't wait to finish writing the book. Even though there's no happy ending. I might intend to write a part two, but that'll have to wait until I finish part one first. Hahas. Enjoy the wait, my beloved readers-to-be. I promise you that I will make the wait worthwhile. Take my word for it. XD

Back to Soulle

Mm.. Back to writing Soulle again. Being back in school really helps a lot in setting the mood to write as Chris. The holiday mood is just too much. Chris is pretty much an always depressed girl. Oh, did that just mean that I think school is depressing? Lols, not really actually. But being in school makes it easier for me to get into the depressed mood that Chris is in most of the time. So, now you know. Soulle is basically a depressing story. So, I'll be really disappointed if you didn't cry after reading it. =P Just joking. But that's my aim. XD

That's all I have for now. Good luck to me!

P.S. I think I'm going to die doing my homework at the last minute.. Sigh..

Books!!!

I just finished the current three books of the series Mob Princess. It's about a girl, Kate, whose father is the mob leader of a big organisation. When the mother moves out because the father cheats on her so many times, the whole family started crumbling as well as the organisation. Thus, high school girl, Kate, has to take over the family business. She ends up falling in love with the enemy organisation's leader's son, who cheated her twice in the second and third book. At the same time, she loves a rich man's son whose parents doesn't approve of a mob daughter being their son's girlfriend. However, since the rich man wasn't as innocent as they seemed, they had a chance to get back together again. The mob organisations are down by the third book and *sigh*... Kate's got it hard in all three books. I can't even imagine the feelings she'd been feeling.

Oh well, it's only a story after all. But then again, why did both guys have to treat Kate that way? It's like Kate had sex with them one night, and the next morning, both guys disappear and promised they'd contact but they never did, not for a long time anyway. What's up with that? Can't anyone out there prove to me that there's actually a good man in this world who doesn't only want a physical relationship? Geez!

Oh, and Kate's best friend who's very open about sex and doesn't hide her passion for it, she's quite the crazy one I must admit. But she's a good friend to have and fun to have around too. Sounds like, I mean, not literally. We wouldn't find anyone like that in our safe little world, would we?

I'm mostly envious of the writer. He, a guy, actually understands the way girls thought. Well, more than a female can expect from a male anyway. Great writer, except for the English, but maybe that was deliberate? Who knows? Great writers everywhere. And then there's me, aspiring to be one of them. Hahas. Excited already, for the moment.. =.=

Tiaras for Jamie

These are pictures of tiaras I found online. Which do you think fits Jamie best?










Mm... Yingjun and Linde thinks second one nice.. I think so too. Although I would love to have the first tiara in my story, but as Linde said, don't really fit the story. So, I'm going to use the second one! Yay! Now, all I have to do is actually get it... Lols.. I want to have all the pieces of my story in my possession.. That is, if I can find something like that and still afford it. It looks expensive.. Hahas.

Chris' dress

This is a picture of what I have in mind for Chris' wardrobe. Hahas. I think it looks cute on me, so it looks more so for Chris. Chris is prettier than me.. Much much prettier than me. Sigh...

Editing... Editing...

Shit! I'm editing AGAIN! Is that just me? Or are all writers this confused over details? I'm shaking my head everytime I take a look atmy manuscript. I think I'm going to go crazy if I don't get enough inspiration to finish the book. My co-writer's just came back from Malaysia, and well, I just want someone to write with me, give me ideas and everything. Can't seem to find people who won't get insulted by my comments and vice-versa. Sighs are all I have right now.. Am I just not cut out to be a writer after all.......................

*Sigh*

Man, this is frustrating.... I just realised that my story has TOO MANY LOOPHOLES!!! How am I supposed to clog them?! I find myself in a pathetic state of imagining the impossible. Some has done it, others haven't. Oh, what am I saying? This is ridiculous, isn't it? Chris' first meeting with Eric is the way I was going to write it, only thing is, I made the situation too rushed and Chris has to finish everything like, right away! Which, by the way, is impossible! I can't believe I just put myself in a situation like that! What a great writer I am, just great, really. GREAT! Now, I'm doing all the throwing-hands-up-in-the-air stuff now. What else could be worse?

Oh, wait, I think I can name a few... Funny. Not. Am I talking to myself now? Who cares? I'm practically a crazy woman who wishes she could just understand what her story characters are thinking... Like that could ever happen! Not to me, at least. How envious I am of other writers... How can they just dream up such amazing storylines? I just can't comprehend. Maybe I'm just too young, or maybe I'm just not cut out for this job.. Saa, I'll try and finish this one book first.. If it ever gets finished, that is.

Author's musings

I've decided one thing. Chris' full name will be Crystal Denaro, instead of just Chris. Crystal will be on her ID, but Chris will be used throughout the story. It's embarassing really, for me and Chris. Goodness, it sounds so... No offense to all the Crystals out there of course. I mean, I don't really think it suits Chris, the name... BUT! I will use the name because, as much as I know Chris don't want to have this name, it really excites me to write the part where she confesses her real name. Blood rushing, exhilerating, really. Well, that's all for now. Back to work. Back to work.

Sneak Peek

I was dying. That much I knew.

It was just so easy to fall in love, something I had forbidden myself to do since a long time ago. Falling in love meant that I had a new strength, but at the same time, it would be my weakness.

In all the fear and panic that was building up in my guts, I was feeling the urge to laugh. I knew why, of course. I always knew. Yet I keep doing things that I knew endangered me.

That was the reason why I wanted to laugh. It was almost funny that all my effort to keep away from traps and snares eventually led me to walk into them.

As I felt my attacker’s hand touch my skin, I gasped in fear that I was going to die.

Introduction

First things first, in case you didn't know, I created this blog for the purpose of posting every story I can find and read and watch that has something to do with love and danger and sacrifice and everything Twilight seems to have. Twilight is now part of the motivation for my story, Soulle. So, well, I will kill anyone, if any, who trashes Stephenie Meyer or her books. But I doubt I have to do that, since they have nothing worth trashing about. So, well, I will post my latest updates on love stories, including my own, quite frequently. Well, I wouldn't ask you to hold your breath on it since I am not very well-known to keep posting for long. I guess that's it then. Good luck to me! =)
