I Need Coffee, So It's Em's Turn.

I had a crap sleep last night because I kept having weird dreams - until in the end I had to get up and write them down. So now I need to listen to some music just to calm and sooth my brain enough to be able to think clearly.

So Enjoy

Just because Darren Hayes looks so beautiful here.

This song reminds me of Michael Marsden (TLOM)

I just like this song.

Another brilliant song which reminds me of TLOM characters.

Weekend Off - Well Mostly.

I had no computer time over the weekend, (well on Saturday I did a quick run through of all emails), but then I shut down so I could spend the day with Emily watching DVD's... I can't even remember what we watched - I think it was The Avengers and the Iron Man movies... Though I did take Sunday off completely and slept the day away... I needed the sleep.

I also wrote in long hand while watching these movies on Saturday, because the voices in my head won't shut the hell up. The character's for The Lines Of Marsden want book 2: Living in Shadows done and submitted. Apparently, they also wanted a major re write so that is what I've been doing.

Also on Saturday I wrote a bit on Walk This Way - I was supposed to be writing this story for the whole weekend but TLOM just took over. Apparently, they want the next instalment of their story told. Though at some stage in the early hours of Sunday morning I had another plot jump into my head and had to get the start of it down. This story revolves around a band called: Darkest Days... I have no title as yet, but I was thinking something along the line of Truly, Madly, Deeply... but this name could change if I think of a better one.

Also Cinders O has the first 10 chapters of The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows to see if I have left major holes... Hopefully there won't be too many.

10 bits of information on the story line. 

1: Thus far I have brought characters into the story line earlier than I had originally intended.

2: Doyle has more of a presence in this book.

3: Gypsy has decided to make her own path in the story away from what I had planned but I think she is right and it works way better

4: Benj decided he din't want to have to wait for his time and wanted in now.

5: Sebastian is learning he is not the baddest of the the bad out there.

6: Michael is learning words said in haste have a weird way of being true.

7: Not everyone is who they appear to be.

8: The past is definitely coming back to bite some people on the arse, especially Christian and Benj.

9: Jaffa and Maffa will make a strong impact on how Michael's vampire family sees themselves.

10: There is more in the world than Michael ever thought possible.

Oh Yeah, I also just subbed Windblown Kisses: My Knight in Tarnished Armour to Silver Publishing...

Today... Yep, That's All I Got.

This is what the inside of my head feels like today. Usually I would be okay with that because I love bats and all... but today I need to focus.

Yesterday I finished the re-write of Chapters 9 & 10 in The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows and sent it off to my beta reader Yoda. Hopefully he will get them back to me soon. I have to type up chapters 11 & 12.

I am waiting for the electrician to arrive as he is going to put a new light in my office extensions... he should be here in about 15 minutes if he doesn't hit road works.

Also my car went in today to have the gears checked... weirdly for some reason they feel like they are out of sync and it's so hard o get them into gear... bet it costs me a fricken fortune. My luck I would need a whole new gearbox.

Lastly and this one just topped off my day (By the way for me it is only 8:20am)... The Hubs, wonderful man that he is missed his fricken flight to New Zealand... He forgot to set his alarm. so he frantically had to change everything for a flight tonight that I know he won't dare be late for boarding.

What's On The Agenda For: The Lines Of Marsden.

Today I'm typing up more of my long-hand written parts on The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows. though I may have to go back through and change parts of the story - mainly just the setting locations where my characters are while they are visiting England.

I need some help - I have some maps of England and London and on them I see this symbol ( O ) can anyone tell me what it means... I have worked out the ones for places to sleep, eat, and trains, but the crossed through circle stumps me.

I have asked my beautiful Ginger Ninja (Gabrial Rantisi) if he can help me out with a location, so now I'm asking all the English readers out there: If you were a vampire; where would you live in England, and why? 

These are the must haves for me:

1. An airport close by.
2. A church close by (any denomination - but one most English people would attend).
3. The building Benj lives in needs to be made out of stone/brick.
4. Somewhere not to far away there needs to be a place a rather large estate would be and not look out of place (also surrounded by trees and no close neighbours).
5. Any pubs and hotel/motels in the area around Benj's neighbourhood.

I am hoping to get a few suggestions so I can pick and choose between them... I will probably use them all because I seriously have more than one coven in England.

You Know Life Sucks When...

When you break your favourite coffee cup and can't buy a new one for 3 fricken days...

When you can't find the storyline notes because the renovations are taking too long, and you have no clue where you stacked the pile of spiral notebooks that you need.

When you can find every other CD that you own except the one you are damn looking for, (seriously if anyone out there knows what the hell I've done with my Placebo CD: Without You I Am Nothing... let me know).

When you step in a puddle and realise you must have a split in the sole because you socks get all wet.

& finally (now this will make you all laugh): When you go to feed the birds and a fricken galah shits on your head... not once, but three times...

So How's It Going?

I have had a very busy last couple of days. Friday: Took em to a doctor appointment in Toowoomba and met up with my niece for lunch. Saturday: Went back to Toowoomba and got some supplies to do more in the renovations on my office/library (Paint -I am painting it a light grey colour called "Mouse".) Then I went to the hardware and picked up external corners and stuff to do the plastering. Sunday: I actually had a break and the hubs did whatever he needed to do in the office and Monday: (Today) Em had to go to the dentist for her 6 month check-up and has to have two of her teeth removed.

Though yesterday, I did write about 8k in long-hand on The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows. So the day wasn't a total loss for me. I have completely lost my fricken mind because instead of following the original plot line I have made some massive changes that I hope will make the story a better read... Now I have to work out which airport is closest to the Harlingford Hotel in England and how far it is from Central London... any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Cinder's O... I will be asking for you to do some reading for me if you have time... same as you did on Windblown Kisses: My Knight In Tarnished Armour.

Em's Turn

Just thought you would like to hear a few songs,

that I'm listening to at the moment

Enjoy!
