Headache
Sitting at the laptop yesterday, Facebook closed because as we all know it's a time killer, I continued to work once again on my story for Felicia Starr's upcoming Anthology. After much deliberation I have decided to title the WIP "Lost and Found". This is going to be a BRILLIANT STORY! *le sigh*
As I worked on it yesterday, polishing what I have already written, I found myself falling in love with Elijah and Jubilee. Their individual back stories are great and I love writing how this point in time is when their lives are meant to converge. Even being a short story at 5,000 to 20,000 I will find a way to give my characters an HEA!
Being of an impetuous nature, I tend to
write a story quickly often without thought as how to make the ideas cohesive. As I am often "controlled by emotion rather than thought" I want my characters together RIGHT NOW and not make them wait!
The issue I had, and will continue with today, is taking what I have already written and piecing it in to their story. It is a challenge but one that I am finding very rewarding. When the story completely coalesces I will be so happy!
As it was a KILLER headache hit me and I had to lay down yesterday. I think I was attacked by the Nap Monster, he's real people!, I managed to awake mentally done with the story for the day.
I can' wait for you to meet and fall in love with Elijah and Jubilee!

Quotes
Today has been a day of quotes. If you ever come to visit the Jackson household, you should be prepared. As I once told Desiree DeOrto "free association is the name of the game". Subjects change often while one of the people in the household is speaking.
PeanutButterGamer, if you don't know this guy you should, has become a household name. (Just not the older youtube vids if you have kids or sensitive ears.) Phrases and vernacular he uses have worked their way into everyone's vocabulary here. This guys is the bomb and my kids love him.
Legolas' line in LoTR "Lembas bread. One small bite will fill the stomach of a grown man" is awesome! As I have 2 teenage boys, the line is hilarious!
My WIP, tentatively entitled "Lost and Found", saw around 3,000 words today. Loved the scenes that came from those words. Elijah and Jubilee have great chemistry together. I really hope that shows. The story has evolved as I have worked on it and you are going to love it.
