Chocolate Flavored Happiness

Choking on my Characters-

Harper and Jai, Chimera and Nathan......

So Valentine's Day was a while ago and I um, lets just say I despised it...... a little. Okay I HATE it, and since I am psycho, I relish the need to write a lovey dovey part to my story.

Now lets face it, if your the one in love then maybe you ideas won't come out disgustingly cliche and have some meaning behind your artistry. But since I'm none of that, and I actually want to see my characters happy I try. I try, I really try so hard to make it seem as if they were real people, in love. Ick....

Okay that's all...

Caffeine Talk-

Chocolate Cover espresso beans!

I recomend them.....yeah......

Now go forth and drink...many coffees...

Tasties and Tid Bits

I've DONE IT! Yes I've done it. I've finally finished a story.
Ladies and Saints, was a bit of a pet project for me and I was hell bent on finishing something. I just have one problem. The story is not over.
Okay I bet your thinking "What the hell is she talking about?".
Well, I'm basicallly telling you that although my main character has stopped talking to me, stopped telling me her story, it's not over. I want to continue it but she says that all she wants to say. (I'm not schizo by the way) So if she's done and I want to continue do, I tell it from another prospective? hmmm....ponder...ponder...ponder...
p.s.- I apoligize for the typos in the last entry, it was written in a rush and I didn't have time to edit it.

Caffeine Talk-
By the way you don't have to like coffee to contribute. Just skip over this part....
Does anyone else like coffee cake muffins? I LOVE them, and yeah it's like yellow cake and yeah the top is the best part but if you can find the right one. THEY Swirl, yes they do, no more. Half muffin and half coffee cake. Yummy!
Go forth and drink...many a coffees.....

Caffeine and Characters

Okay, so what happens when you begin to hate your lead character?

I need an answer to this question because I've begun to hate Harper, my lead girl character. I mean i made it so she wasn't perfect and I also made her a pretty, likeable and loving character. But as I continue to write the more I dislike her. Perhaps it's the fact that I'm making her into someone I want to be or it's because she's too perfect for her love intrest. Conflict between the couple would make for a better story but at the same time, it would be harder to write her saying bad things towards a guy who clearly has woman issues. So has that ever happned to anyone else? Have you ever ended up disliking a character because of what they've become?

Open to all suggestions, even if it mean i might have to change one of the character to better my "relationship" with the other. Any Advice? Similar troubles?

Caffeinated Talk:

As You must have realized I LOVE coffee. Maybe that's an understatment...lol, my father the caffeine addict that started it all is now proclaiming that coffee is a drug and I being the adalesent that I am, am forbidden to drink it. Though he doesn't know I've been drinking coffee sicne the age of twelve and haven't stopped since. He also doen't realize that they sell coffee at my school, which is pretty naive on his part, but what ever.

I enjoy cappucinos (sp), frappacinos(sp) and any other Cinos...

Coffee black, with two sugars and two creams, or esspresos straight up.....

HA! Take that dad! and the addiction goes on....

Now go forth and drink...many coffees...
