I thought it was time I make a master post of my writing so that it is a bit easier to find what you’re looking for if you’ve found your way here.  This will also be the only time I'm going to 'warn' for slash. If M/M relationships bother you it's time to hit the back button.


Rajala Universe

If you spend time reading my journal you’ll find that I mention Rajala or Tiger Eyes frequently. TE is the novel that I’ve been working on for years, but have recently started a serious edit for it. I’ve been swaping chapters with Skimble, whose journal you should check out; she has some amazing characters of her own. I allow very limited access to TE, but I do have a couple short pieces that take place in Rajala that I’ve left public.

Judgment

A Royal Mage in service to Rajala is desperate to return home and confront rumors and truths.

My own little fanfiction with Bryan as my victim…A quick oneshot. 

This is a piece that I work on whenever I find the chance. It started out as a short story, but in most cases I tend to write things that are either very short or epic length. I don’t know which one this is going to be yet. I hate to give it a true summery because this is one of those pieces that needs to unfold for the reader. Still a WIP.

Part One
Part Two

Black and White

The Black and White series began with the short story – wait for it – Black and White. I had originally planned to use this concept in one of my Rajala pieces, but I couldn’t seem to make it fit with the characters that I had intended it for. Then one day I sat down and wrote almost the entire piece in one sitting. The series explores the life of Jack and his best friend David, and later Shawn. If the names sound familiar to anyone, I swear, Jack and David were purely random names I had picked and once *I* made the connection I was already attached to them. This began as something to work on when TE just wasn't flowing, and now it's become quite addicting for me.

Black and White

David’s having issues concentrating in class, and Jack finds the entire situation amusing.

Shawn’s facing finals and Yale in the coming fall, it’s time to leave a part of his life behind, and he’s not sure he’s ready to.

Connecticut isn’t Arcata and Shawn’s still trying to sort it all out.

Well I'm getting ready to head to bed; tomorrow is my first day on the job. I’ll be up bright and early at 6AM!! Spent the last few days mostly with Jason and trying to get some stuff finished around the house I've been meaning to do. Looked over chapter ten some more; wrote a bit for the change, but I'm still messing with it. I don't want this to come off as me playing the 'but its fantasy’ card, or as I like to call it, vampire sperm. I'm also still working on my Kennan/Jack fic - it just keeps getting longer... I'm having issues with the opening scene (I think I've redone it five or six times) but once I'm happy with it I will make a post.

You know, sometimes I have some freaky ass dreams and last night was one of them. I hate snakes like Bryan hates spiders (more than that, actually) so dreaming about them is always a bad thing. So apparently I had a cat that turned into a snake every few weeks while it was 'molting'. I know, makes zero sense, as our dreams so often do. Strange thing was, the snat/cake would still act like a cat while it was a snake and was really attached to me...and I was just as terrified of snakes in the dream as I am when I'm awake. For once I was glad to get up at five in the morning...I mean really, where the hell did that one come from?

So I went down to get my badge for my new job today, and found out some more about the benefits I'll be getting - good insurance!! I'm so psyched, I haven't had insurance with a copay since I still lived at home...

Afterward I came home and settled down to do some work, I want to get the Swiss Mountain Dogs written up today before digging back into TE some more. I've also got a piece that pertains to Xvander I'm itching to get out. Well, I sat down, and the thing about working on Worldly Dogs is I need a lot of room for my books, but I've been dealing with the space I have for the last few days. Today I decided it was time to clean my desk, which is always cluttered because I've got bits of paper and print outs everywhere. No joke, I found five, five! different notebooks.

Most of it pertained to TE, some to Worldly Dogs, and I made another stack, not quite as large as the one for my own book that involves Vay, Sorano, Kalle (I'm ashamed to say I had completely forgotten him!) and all the rest of Skimble's characters. That's right, Skimble, they're taking over! I'm not complaining though, and now my desk is relatively clean and organized. Jason will be shocked when he wakes up...

I'm off to get some more work done. I managed to write up pages for all three Schnauzers yesterday (Standard, Giant, and Miniature), the Papillon/Phalene, and the Miniature Pinscher. Let’s see if I can get another five finished today…I've only got ten more days until I start work, and lots to get do!!

So I've been spending the last couple days working on my website, which is what I get for going to the bookstore and finding another dog book. I'm not really complaining. I started Worldly Dogs when I used to work for a company that taught people how to build their own websites and it was a requirement for employees to have one. Now it's really become a hobby of mine that I can go months without working on, but once I start - look out! I love mixed breeds, and when the (horrid) day comes for me to get a new dog it will be another mutt, but the history of the individual breeds fascinates me. I added three new breeds in the last two days, the Boxer, Bullmastiff, and Irish Wolfhound. 
 

I haven't written much of anything in days, things still aren't picking up for me. I did manage to write a piece with Gerrod I was somewhat happy with, but I don't plan on posting it until I get a bit more done.

This is, well, drabble mostly. I was on my way home and the song 'I Think His Name Was John' by Reba came on. I started thinking how sad it was for a woman to waste her life away pining for some guy she didn't even know, and came up with this. I couldn't turn it off and thought, what the hell, I'm not getting anything else done anyway. It's short, unedited, and complete. Enjoy it if you can!
