Life, Stories, and Things~
3 min read
Well... Let's start with stories, shall we?
I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I actually have three different websites (yes, I am insane). Lulu has a new Sampling , and my professional site for me (that would be kewright.weebly.com/) for my poetry and other sporadic fiction has the first two chapters of a story called "Bended Knees"! Chapter One and Chapter Two~
No new chapters for fan-fictions (or new fan-fictions) to speak of in recent months, but I'll let you know when I get some done!
...Now, life. Well, it has be slowly killing me, because that is what life does.
My major issue right now is a lump on my right foot. The nurse-practitioner thinks it's a cyst filled with fluid, but after an untrasound and an MRI, all I know is that it is over my bone and it shows no abnormalities in the MRI (though they didn't do a contrast MRI. If I need another one, I'm killing something. I hate them.). I get to deal with figuring out what in the hell that is on top of the pain, which is actually getting increasingly worse. It stepped up from "eh, it hurts" to "AGONY" yesterday, and it is sort of fluctuating between the two now.
Plus, work is regular BS. I had approximately 21 hours for a week --now I'm down to 8 hours a week. I'm job hunting again, particularly something with desk work because I am in more pain on my feet. Oh, and our general manager's last day was today, so we get to meet and work with a new one.
I keep getting bitten by more plot bunnies as I'm trying to force myself to work with Reid and Saxon. Inspiration of all sorts welcome, by the way. If someone wants to send me some yummy looking men, I will try to churn that story out. "Bibliophile" needs to be submitted by July 1st, so I have time, but I'm not doing that last minute BS like last time! I want to write 10,000 words for this. I want to tell a love story without making it a smut-o-thon, and I want it to flow and make sense and make people feel. It's important to me, because two of my characters are based on dear friends. But I AM STUCK RIGHT NOW and IT IS KILLING ME.
I'm texting my dear Knight again, and he is making life better by being there and giving awesome advice.
Oh, my poetry collection is sorta... stop and start. I need 60 poems. I have them planned and everything, but I've only written like 10 and it is rather sad. I'm gonna have to force it, unfortunately....
Pinterst and Twitter are eating my life. Facebook is contributing, as well.
I'm sure there's something else, but it's been forgotten at the moment... I'll spit it out if it ever returns to the scatter-brain...

Sorry. So much crap has been happening lately...
For more details, check out this post from my personal blog and this post from Lulu's blog.
Then check out the new Sampling that just got posted!
Don't have much time right now --I gotta get to bed-- but I love you all!

Poems... and Things?
1 min read
In case anyone goes looking, two of my poems have been removed (by me). "King of Hearts" and "King of Diamonds" both fit the theme I'm working on for my poetry submission so I removed them....
There's a new blog post to enjoy... Lucretia's take on Work and Writing, though there is a little focus on the first meeting scene!
Also, check out my new wallpaper, "Too Beautiful to Waste"! I promised that one a while ago, so I'm glad I completed it and am happy with it!
Uh... what else, what else...
I'm still working on "Bibliophile" and it's making me crazy...
I don't have to work again til Tuesday, but it's early, early, early... and so is Wednesday :/
They literally forgot me in the backroom for like four hours at work >.<
My poetry collection is planned... but it only has three of the poems done and I just kind of... stare at my plan list and wait for things to happen...
Life is... interesting?

Good Things...
6 min read
Well, I'm apparently slacking off, seeing as I'm behind two blog entries now...
Since you all have been such wonderful sports about me pasting links week after week, I thought I'd past the content of my two posts here for you all.
from: sinsofmidnight.weebly.com/1/po…
I happened upon a insightful piece written on the very topic that had been troubling me since I started my newest project last night: a "killer" opener.
I really encourage any and all writers to read this article that offers not just one but seven different paths to a perfect line.
I'm so happy with my beginning that I think I could burst right now, but that phase will surely pass as I find more interesting things to love about this project.
Since I've offered so little information about the project, I suppose I owe you a few teasers...
Tentative Title:
"Bibliophile"
Narrator's Name:
Reid Daniels
Length:
Novella
Anthology:
Hot Off the Press
Requirements:
Romantic short story (3500-12,000 words) with a writing or publishing theme.
Extra Details:
~ Reid is the title bibliophile ~ His world collides with that of a small business owner ~
~ Both of their names prompt some English thoughts ~ My cliche bookworm is well-written ~
~ I intend to use at least 10,000 of my allotted words to tell this story. ~

Good Things, Weird Timing...
01/30/2014
So, I may be joining the ranks of the "gainfully" employed soon, if a certain phone call tomorrow pans out as it should.
Just in time for the latest snowstorm to strike!
Just in time for the latest snowstorm to strike!
We were getting snow pretty much as soon as I got home from my interview today.
And, alright, it's not a great job --but it's a job, which I have been lacking in for about a year now.
The major downsides are that (again) it's not a great job and it will cut into my time available to write like the little maniac I am.
The upsides: money in the car fund, less time in the house, a solid excuse to add more black to my wardrobe, and less time to dwell within myself and on the past and things I should ignore.
I don't know if the job is mine yet, but this time I was called in specifically to talk about days and hours I was willing to work, so call it a sign.

Let's see... anything else?
- I have been playing with one of my favorite artistic mediums.... duct tape!
Seriously, few things make me smile more than a pretty roll of duct tape. My current roll is rainbow colored, so it's been really interesting to play with!
I made three of the same project (a braided bracelet) with the same measurements... and have three different sizes. Ah, happy artistic accidents!
- I'm tutoring a boy in English so he can graduate this year. I'm surprised at how easy it has been, but he missed our last session, so he gets quizzed double-time on Monday!
- I'm working with two new characters --and one of them is tattooed all over~
Yep, I love creating men that make me drool. And Saxon is definately that man. I wonder if I can get someone to draw him? - It's laundry day... and there is a seriously frightening amount of clothes to wash...!
- I've evolved into 11 separate binders to contain my life (one for each of my worlds-under-construction, one for fan-fiction, one for story-starts, one for crafts, one for randomness, and one to keep me on schedule and on time)--and I still can't find a damn thing.
- I waged war with iTunes and actually emerged victorious! Now I have to recreate all my playlists...
- I've decided my alter-ego will commit to weekly newsletters --but it won't be this week!
- I made noodles this week with my sister and mother, and we didn't kill each other.
- I get to help construct homemade lasagna for ...100 plus people?
- THE WEEK ISN'T OVER YET!
Beginnings are always hard to write. I think sometimes that is the first piece I convince myself absolutely has to be perfect, and that frequently keeps me from moving forward on the rest of a piece.
Of course, it is rare that the best thing I did for my writing is fumbling about on Twitter --but that is just what happened today!

For putting up with my hints and teasing, I'll divulge a few things about me.
~ I, myself, am a bibliophile in much the same sense Reid is (you'll have to see on that one, dears!).
~ As a reader, I'm definitely an omnivore --I will consume almost anything! This become important when I write
because I will frequently reflect back on things I've read, parallel some of the structure, or mention
something I enjoyed reading. "The Thing With Fins" (which you can read here) is actually a great example of
this because the title reflects back onto a relatively famous poem by Emily Dickinson
In addition, I shall share one or two of the things I love most about books.

No matter how brilliant the book, it never judges the reader.
It never withdraws from the heat of an earnest hand and it never pulls away from the lonely heart.

Have a wonderful night, my little koi fish!
Ever yours,
Lulu
...So that just happened.
Roksiel, I hope you're enjoying that piece I sent!
...And anything else I'm forgetting?
Love you lots!
