I walked along the brook.  All was silent around me.  I could only hear the sound of the water as it rushed over the rocks.  I came upon the edge of the woods.  I slowly emerged and froze in place.  Standing near the edge of a cliff, stood the majestic beast.  A unicorn.  It stood gazing out over the land below, framing the massive moon behind it.

I stood still in shock.  Would it attack?  Would it flee?  I knew not.  I stayed still and watched.  It turned it's head slightly as to look behind, for a moment, but did nothing else.  It just stood and watch, as did I.  We both remained there at the edge until the unicorn slowly walked away.  Paying no mind to me.  Soon I followed its lead and left the cliff, following the brook back.

Two sisters on the opposite side of power.  One is light, the other dark.  One controls the weather, causing snow to fall.  The dark sister commands the animals.  They sit opposite each other, but not warring.  Although, they are different they work together.  What is odd is that their symbols don't go with their personality.  The light sister has a crescent moon, while her sister has a full moon.  Did something happen and the two sister switch roles at some point?  Who's to know.  No one can asked them as they float high above in the sky.  The sisters watch over and help whom they wish, but what does that help cost to the person they helped?

Today's Picture

Busy streets.  Mules, oxen, and horses pulling wagons through the streets.  The old lady yelling out her prices for some fruit from her farm outside the city.  People bowing as some noble walks the streets.  The Queen and King sitting in their thrones as they greet far away dignitaries.  Children running along the streets, barely missing the busy traffic. 

The mountains help to keep the city cool in its valley.  Miners digging into the mountains finding new ores to big up.

April 27, 2011

Storms rolling in.  Lives lost.  Darkness covered the state of Alabama.  People helping each other.  People fighting to get to each other.  Homes became rumble.  This day left a scar on the state, but it's slowly recovering.  Nature has grown and cover what it can, while man has rebuilt cities.

The world turned dark, but we over came it.  No matter what team we cheer for come the fall, we all come together to help each other.  Mother nature may take what she wishes, but we will always stay strong.  At least, now we all pay more attention to the weather, because of that day.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

I want to explain this dabble.  If you don't know.  On April 27, 2011, Alabama was hit with multiple tornadoes.  A lot of lives were lost.  We had a F5 that came basically from the Mississippi state line to Birmingham.  I was two  miles away from it when it came through.  We're still rebuilding, but there are places you can't even tell it came through now.  Of course, there are places you can see the damage, but that's trees along the interstate.

I'll try to get this out earlier tomorrow.  Thanks for reading.

Daily Dabble - 4/26/2015

 Since this is the first post, let me explain the idea behind this.  The idea is to find something, be it a word, video, or picture to write about.  So here's the first one of the new series.  I'll always post a link or the actual thing as best I can so you can see what I'm talking about.  I should warn you that some times they won't make complete sense.

Spring

Birds returning to nest.  Birds flocking in the trees.  Birds singing in the trees.  Squirrels running around once again.  Animals waking up from their "long winter nap. (1)"  The grass is becoming green.  The trees are slowly returning to life.  Flowers begin to push their way up through the warming dirt.

Rain pours down.  Rivers overflow.  Winds blow.  Homes lost.  Lives lost.  Spring isn't always sunshine and rainbows.  It also brings with it storms that cause so much damage to the earth and us, but we rebuild as does nature.  It is all part of life in the South.  Well, the entire United States.



1-"Twas the Night Before Christmas"

A Semi-Sneak Peek

So as I have said I completely rewrote Chapter 10 of The Goblin Princess.  To celebrate that I actually have the chapter ready to release, I thought I would let you guys see the original idea for the chapter. 

I hope to have it ready for next Sunday, not tomorrow.  I have a chapter ready for tomorrow.  Have no fear, my lovely readers.  You'll have your weekly release.

 So enjoy.

Possibly a New Series

Okay so starting next week, I am now going to have a daily goal for myself.  Now why am I telling you guys this?  I'm telling you guys about this because it has to do with writing.

Starting this Sunday, April 26, 2015; I am going to make myself write something for about five minutes a day.  Well, at least five minutes.  It'll either be a chapter for any of my current stories or something else.

I may actually post them, if you guys like.  I would post them here and not on fanfiction.net and/or wattpad.com.  Unless of course, it's part of a chapter or if I think it might be a good idea for a future story.  Sorry, I can't let you guys see everything.

Mostly it would be an exercise to the jucies flowing and hopefully get me more in the writing mood.  

TGP News

So I'm working finally on Chapter 10 of The Goblin Princess.  The last few chapters have gotten to be about five pages, but I'm not going to force myself to write that much.  I think  that was my problem.  I was forcing it.  So no more forcing.  I'll let it end where I feel it should.

Chapter 10 is also the chapter where quite a bit happens to help get Veena to the Labyrinth.  Yes, the Sorceress told her she has to go back, but something has to make her go back.

Hopefully, I'll get it finished soon.  I do have the next two weeks' planned chapters written.  That gives me some time before I have to start working on a new chapter.  If I get this thing finished before then, it will be one of the releases for a week.

Editing Away and Some news

Some good news guys.  So I have two chapters finished.  I have a chapter for both Nothing Is What It Seems and Meeting The Family written.  I can't promise I'll release them both next week, but I'm going to edit them at the same time.  Mostly, I'll have a few chapters ready to go if things get bad.

Because I have two chapters written, I'm going to try and focus more on Chapter 10 of TGP this coming week.  I'm going to go over my notes and see where I want it to go.  So it may well be returning.

Weekly Update

Next week's chapter's rough draft is finished.  I just need to edit it.  Right now I haven't chosen a set day to release on each week.  Mostly, because it may take longer some weeks to get a chapter written than others.

I'm going to try and work on TGP a bit as well as start the next chapter of Meeting The Family.  

 

New Goal Might Be In Trouble

So my semi-wonderful idea of trying to release something new once a week, might not last long.  I have two chapters written up, next week's and the week after that.  I have started on a chapter, but I doubt I'll have it finished.  I may start on another for the other story.

I don't have a planned schedule.  So my goal is to release something once a week, or every other week.  I won't force chapters.  They never come out good if I do.

I may do some one shot, but I'm not going to force them.

Oh, Thanks for the 3000 view on my blog.

Next Week's Release

I'm going to do my best to keep up the goal of one chapter week   Next week I'll release a new chapter for Meeting The Family.  I don't know what day it will be released on, but it will be released.

What to Work on Next?

So I finally released a new chapter for Nothing Is What It Seems.  Now I need to work on something else for a bit.  Don't worry Chapter 12 is still waiting to be edited, but I want to get another chapter written before I start on that.


I'll think of something.

Enjoy!

Doing A Little Dance

Good news guys.  I finally finished the rough draft of Chapter 2 of Meeting The Family.  This  means of course, I will start editing Chapter 11 of Nothing Is What It Seems.

I can't say for sure when it will be out, but I'll try to get it out this week.

I may try for a new chapter for something once a week.  What do you guys think about that?

Thanks and Love,
CL

Happy Easter and News

Happy Easter to all!

I'm about half way through the second chapter of Meeting The Family.  So I hope to start editing the next chapter of Nothing Is What It Seems.

Hopefully, the crazy weeks are behind me, at least for now.

Not much news, but thought I'd let you all know.

Love.
CL

Hopes for April 2015

This month I hope to get a new chapter out for quite a few stories.  I working on the second chapter of Meeting The Family.  I do promise to get out a new chapter for Nothing Is What It Seems soon, but I won't be editing until I have something else written.

At the moment, things are still a bit crazy for me, but I'm trying to write something, like I said above.  Mostly I'm writing after work and before bed, which can be from an hour or two.  If I can I do try to write on my off days, but not always.

So here's the goals for this month.

• Release a new chapter for Nothing Is What It Seems.
• Release a new chapter for Meeting The Family.
• Work on TGP.

Not much, but hopefully I can get it done.

Thanks and love,
CL 

For those you celebrate, Happy Easter!
