( Chapter Five: Waking Up in Repose? )
Okay, there's not too much of a higher word count at the very moment, but no matter how tired I am, I'm going to get up over 30k tonight, no matter what. And finally, FINALLY, I have a good point I'm getting to. Something that even shocked me when I thought of it. Thought of it last night, and I don't know if it's truly possible, but I like the twist it'll give. I'd like some feedback. I know the last chapter was corny, but this one'll be deep to make up for the goofiness of the last one. Enjoy! :-D

Check that out. Halfway past. I'm proud. I wrote up a storm. I did...over 3,000 tonight. I'm not too far behind now. I'm at a good spot and I'm full of fatigue, so I'm gonna ruminate on it. For now, enjoy Chapter 3, and please, feedback! This is quite a funny one :)

cinnamonspite for the feedback. It's my first non-Hanfic in a long time. But the good news is that I'm concocting a rewrite for one of my older fics, "Right Here". :-D I hope you all will like it. And here's s'more of Arcadia Divergent.

( Chapter One: The Pimp, the Whore, and the Creeper )
I'm in the process of catching the fuck up. With my mother's 1-year death-iversary (is that a word?), the electric being shut off, and me just being distracted, I could just boot myself with a metal rod, seriously. But I'm getting my ass in gear now. So, for your reading pleasure, here's the prologue to my lovely fic (which just got named tonight). And please! Let me know what you think!

( Prologue: The Fisherman's Discovery )
Hopefully, this time will go as well as last year. I finished at 57,000+ words, but I started with a basis idea. This time, I'm starting completely fresh, aside from the character planning.
I need to update this damn thing. hehe.
And I'll keep you guys updated on the story.
That's not too far from me. Crazy.
But I guess I'm an insensitive bitch. I totally had a Daria moment. (it doesn't help that I found Daria on YouTube, yes?)
I was passing by a billboard for Healthy Inspirations and I thought, "Damn, I wonder how much memberships cost..."
Maybe I should just stay fat :-P I'd rather be fat than shot.
But seriously now, I'm praying for everybody in Bridgeville and the surrounding areas.
My job is nuts, by the way. It's not one of those ones you're in love with. Ever. I like it, but I don't think I'll ever totally love it. It's hard. Damn hard. But being a nurse aide is rewarding.
I'm impatient...I'll update better later.
I quit GE. Figured it was time. I've been at the Manor for over a month now. Nurse Aide classes start Monday. I'm getting psyched, even though I come home exhausted sometimes. It's not that the work is extrordinarily hard, but it's just time-consuming. It'll get harder...
I must go write, I have a Spark Inside challenge to write for. I'm paired with the other Sarah teehee.
I think I'm just now starting to get excited about having my license.
Let's go Pens!
Fanfic Meme
01. Why do you write fanfic?
Because I enjoy making life come onto the page. I love seeing the reality inside fiction.
02. When did you write your first fanfic and which fandom was it for?
When I was 15, I used to write *NSYNC fiction.
03, Which fandoms do you, or have you, written for?
I have written for *NSYNC, Sailor Moon, Fushigi Yuugi, and Hanson. I am up for expansion as well.
04. Do you read much fanfic or do you mainly write?
I try to read as much as I can (I've been lacking lately).
05. What comes easiest for you when writing?
When I can sit down and write what I'm thinking. If it comes out as cohesive, I'm impressed. But torture seems to do me well.
06. Which genres do you mainly write?
I write pretty much anything. I'm not picky. It's all a part of life.
07. Which genres will you not write?
Fluff. I'm not too crazy about it.
08. Are reader comments/responses important?
Somewhat. It's nice to know hard work is appreciated.
09. Do you use a beta reader?
Not at the moment. I haven't been writing enough for that in my opinion.
10. Which is your favorite character to write fanfic for and why?
Oh, gosh, any Hanson brother. I see them not as Hanson, but as men whom I don't even know, so really you can't trace it back as a Hanfic, except for the name and occupation. Every single one of my interpretations of each of them is a little different.
11. Which are your favorite ships (including friendships) that you write the most?
I like writing Isaac/Lucky (you'll find out soon) and when I was doing it, Sarah/Isaac. That will all change.
12. Do you have characters that are so strongly established that they're in your heads?
Ally from Bells for Her. I bawled my eyes out during NaNo, not only because I lost my mom, but it was so hard for me to be going through the pain of loss, but Ally's pain of never being able to have the one man she's wanted.
Good news? I got the job at the Manor. :-D So I start on June 4, the same time I take my vacation from the Big Bird.
Bad news? They had to give me a PPD shot...not that it would be an abnormal thing to prevent me from getting TB. But I'm having an adverse reaction to it. It's hard to breathe. I have a sharp spot in my back and I can't take a deep breath. I hope I'll be able to sleep tonight. And it's like I suddenly got a cold. All about 30 minutes after I got the shot.
Why? I found out...it has egg proteins. UGH. Allergy kicked in...SUCKAGE.
But other than that, I'm in a good mood.
Oh, and Bryan's birthday's officially today! :-D He's the big 2-6. I got him an Evgeni Malkin jersey. FUCK YEAH! Go Pens!
1) It's hot. BLAH. And I hate it. Well, I don't hate it hate it, I just wish there were a way to stay cool. I got a motorized air-cooling fan...and an air conditioner is waiting on my floor to make its way into my other window.
2) My room is once again in progress. I got my cube shelves in, so that helps. I got my bookshelf in today, so the room is completely disshevled. Organization is a must, and right now, it's just not happening.
3) The 2nd (next Saturday) is 6 months. 6 months for Mom. That's crazy to me.
4) Speaking of Mom, I really haven't thought much about how she died. But now, it's like it's finally coming back. It's not painful (well, it is but not in a harmful way). I have fears that Bryan will die on me. I'm being rather irrational. And crazy...I don't know.
5) My counselor said I'm done. I admit I have been dealing with things well for how I've been. I don't know. I feel stuck. So stuck in this life that I don't want to live. I don't know if I'll be able to finish college. My statue of limitations might be up. Where in the hell do I go from here? I think this is normal for my age, but for my circumstances, it's understandable. Unfortunately for me, I believe, nobody gets it. There's no sense of empathy in academia.
I have considered going back for a Masters in Writing Popular Fiction, but I need to seriously research that before I do. Prerequisites and all that jazz. I want to do it badly.
6) The ring, the ring, the ring...it was going to be a secret, but apparently not anymore. That IS the ring. Bry and I went to Zales and looked at it. It's just as beautiful in person. The guy wants 1800 for it. It's 800 on the website, then with the Zales card, he said he'd knock it down to 1300.
I'm like "WTF?" at this point, but Bry told me not to worry about it. Heckling will happen, he told me.
I doubt the intentions sometimes. We still fight like we mean nothing to each other. That frightens the crap out of me. Like either of us could throw away the feelings we have for each other. That's why I doubt that he's serious. I'm pretty sure until he actually does it, I won't believe it for sure.
7) The Pens are advancing. That makes me a happy camper. Question is, will we play the Devils...? Maybe the Rangers? I don't know for sure. I sure don't want to see the Sharks crash and burn. Currently, their game is on. I'm not watching, but I hope they don't burn out. They seem to be doing well at the moment.
8) I'm back to writing, a little. I'm just tired. Really tired. I've got work at 9:30 in the morning, so I'm going to leave it here for now.
And then I've got this...
I showed Renee C. the pic already, so she knows it. What about anybody else on here? Good for an engagement ring? Bry and I are shopping :-D Holy freaking Christ.
Website planning really gets me in the mood to write a little. As a matter of fact, I'm going to try to pound out a little more of "The Friendly Game" before work. I have to work, and miss out on sushi today :( BOOOO...
dreamingofreality-subscribe@yahoogroups.c
If you haven't and you're interested, send an e-mail to that. I'm hoping to send e-mail updates of fics. I need to get my ass in gear.
So, for motivation...I'm gonna post Chapter 2 of an oldie but goodie: The Friendly Game. The Renee's should remember this one. I'd love some feedback on this :) Now you finally get to see a direction of where the story is going.
( Chapter Two )
