Snippet - 2nd Edition

Managed another 1,900+ words today and because I'm in a reasonably good mood I'm sticking up a little more just for Rylie, cause I know you're watching my count - lol! ;) Course, unlike my good buddy, I have a full time job that is seriously interfering with my writing time and beginning to royally piss me off. Do you know I put in nine hours of O/T last week alone? That was nine (yes 9) hours of perfectly good writing time. *sighs* Oh well, I'm working through it and I have a plan... that I'm not sharing just fyi! LOL! So, here it is, the latest little chunk of something from tonight, hope ya like it...

First thing in the morning he was out and looking for what he needed to prove his point to Randi. He found just what he wanted not far from his temporary home, unfortunately there were too many for him to be able to run a snatch and grab or even have a pray in a battle with keeping one alive. So he waited, following them as they moved along in their unique manner, seeming to glide while as the same time moving in a threatening manner. The part that creeped him out was that they all seemed to walk at the same angle, giving the appearance that they were moving at a forty-five degree angle across the pavement. They weren't, it was just the way they held their bodies, their stronger right arm held further back, hand always curled at the ready to swipe the long six inch claws across their foe or their dinner, which ever it was.

They were easy enough to pick out of a crowd, appearing to be goths by their black clothing, the large and heavy boots with the chains draped all over their bodies. The only thing that proved them not to be true Goth was the blond hair with the single red stripe down the right side mid-way back on their heads. That and the deeply tanned skin, well the six inch claws on the right hand were a good give away as was the pale, pale blue eyes almost completely colorless from the transformation by their masters. Frowning as he moved along he nearly missed them splitting off into groups, four going one way, six another and the last two heading yet another. And so it was the twosome that he followed after, he'd killed one outright and the other he'd stun with the tazer until he could get the special shackles onto him to prevent him from killing anyone, mainly himself Chase thought with a snort.

Following after them he breathed in and out as he went through the fight in his mind, picturing it and playing it all out as to how it had to happen. Hollow point to the first brain, shock the second and stab the first with the blessed blade through his heart and then turn and cuff the second one. They'll both be down and out of commission, perform the rites on the first to free his tortured soul and let him die in peace. Pull out the blade, pour on the lighter fluid and torch him, body will go up in less then ten seconds not a trace left not even a burn mark. Pick up the second one and hustle him over to the warehouse he'd rented and stash him until he had Randi with him. Sounded simple enough, but to put it into action... Looked like it was show time Chase smiled coldly as he followed them into the alley and began to move quickly, now or never...

Oh where, oh where has the summer gone?

Okay, this is a totally valid question. Where has our summer gone? We had it and then it went poof! July was the hottest summer month we'd had in many years, and now... August sucks. It feels like I'm living in freakin' Vancouver. Rain, rain and yes, more rain. I like rain when it's warm out and it's a nice break to the heat. But damn! This stuff is cold and nasty, the wind is bone chilling and it's just plain ugly out there. I live in the freakin' prairies, we shouldn't be having this freaky assed weather.

*sighs* But, since there's not really any one to lodge a complaint with, I suppose I must continue to suffer along.

Let's see what else has been happening... Oh yeah, boss is gone on holidays, this I've mentioned before - jerk. And, of course because he's gone, we've gotten increasingly busy at work. Yup, that time of year again where the work load triples overnight. Well, it happened, my desk looked like a paper bomb had gone off when I left on Friday, yup, "left" and that was after cleaning it up for Monday morning. I have so many unanswered emails in my work in-box it's not even funny, just all the crap that a) I didn't get to and b) didn't feel like doing because I already was running around at full steam.

The most joyous of all the news *claps* is that it only gets busier from here! Woo-hoo. NOT! omg! I so can not wait for all the holidays to be completed and the office to be back to full staffing again. Then maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to actually get fully caught up on things.

As to writing, well, I just haven't had time to be working on my script, I know, bad me. But hey, unlike some people I know and won't mention names, I didn't set a deadline to have it completed. See Ry, I didn't once bring your name up in that sentence.

Well, that's it for today, I have some cleaning to do, a little rpg action to complete and then I'm going to collapse and watch the finale of The Kill Point. Ciao!

Could the clock move any slower....?

Okay, like really! I have one day left until vacation and I've found myself staring at the clock like some psychotic lunatic - be quiet Rylie. It's my first full length holiday for the year so ya, I'm a little impatient. *sighs* Long weekends aren't long enough and all the other "holidays" we get just seem to aggravate the problem, so I really, really, really can't wait for this.

Not that I'm actually going to be of any use tomorrow at work anyway... Don't know why I'm bothering to go in except that I have to change my voice mail message and put the holiday alert onto my computer. Other than that *shrugs* I have a couple things I need to finish and then I'm basically going to be pissin' around the rest of the day. Which makes the time crawl by of course, because you sit there watching it creep along. It's like back in elementary, that last day of school before the summer break, where you swear the clocks are going backwards. That the teachers are trying to make you suffer by making you sit there until the buzzer sounds when all you want to do is ditch the nice and neat clothing and find the grungiest pair of shorts and the dirtiest top you own and go out to play for 2 solid months. Yup... that'll be me... staring at the clock swearing that time is actually moving backwards. Well, might as well go do something productive like write for a while. *sighs* Ciao!

So I was bored...

Anybody that knows me, knows that when I get bored I tend to redecorate... so to speak :) If you've been here before you may have realized that yes, for the third time this month, I've 'redecorated' my blog site. It was just to... blah?! for me at this time. I'm feeling very dark and mysterious, thus the rather dramatic change to the appearance. To those just comin' round for the first time, no I'm not normally this dark and scary... well, not all of the time, but hey a girls got the right to change.

Besides, I've been writing various pieces and I've started to look at them as I write them and have made a decision. It's time for a little something different. I've done the thrown Joe Blow off the cliff (hey Rylie *waves*) I've had people shot at, I've done the emergency C-section (Jeannie my girl *grins*) and I've basically thrown one major catastrophy out after another non-stop. So, there I was cursing clients, not to their faces mind you, but sitting there cursing them none the less and came to a conclusion. I'm tired of the happy-happy, and need to do something that will creep people right out of their skivies, more than my 'evil stalker dude' (long story unless you read him) that is. I'm planning more long-term, more subtle, more sneak it in and see how many are paying attention and then WHAM! right to the middle of the forehead. Yeah, so, yeah. Well, that's the plan anyway and I don't know when, I don't know who (character) is going to get the honors and I'm not sure in what form, but I plan to shake things up just a little and see where the feathers fly.

That's it for this random piece of nothingness, until next time we hope you'll remember, don't piss into the wind - Cheers!

Accolades galore please...

So, since I fully plan on sleeping all day tomorrow, today technically, but beside the point... where was I? Oh yeah sleeping the day away, well... most of it, I figured I'd put in my script for the final (ie: official) tally/count and the "official" word is 21,238 words. Yup, for me, Script Frenzy is complete and I have come out triumphant *grins* yay me. My script is, of course, no where near actual completion nor has it gone through the fine tuning process, but for the purposes of this trial, it was enough. Thanks have to go out to my buds Rylie and Jeannie, who have put up with more than my normal amount of insane ramblings. Poor Rylie has had to 'listen' to me babble mindlessly more than once during the last month. And Jeannie has been there to poke and prod me occasionally to see if I was still alive or not. Well, since it is well past the witchin' hour and the weeks stress is starting to kick in, not to mention the worry of the last minute crunch, I am heading for my bed, which doth calleth to me - loudly! Thanks for putting up with me everybody, don't ever, EVER, tell me about another one of these Rylie or I swear... *shakes fist menacingly*

Eat my dust!

'Lo everybody! Well, just wanted to spread the good word, I have done it. I have actually, not that I had any doubts, okay a few, but that's beside the point..., uh, where was I...? Right, news, good news *grins*, I have made it over the barrier, I have scaled the mighty wall, and I have broken free of the jaws of death from about my throat, I hit the mark baby! 20,160 words... and counting! Yup, that's right, going to type until the last damn second and then put it on the site for the official count. Yay me! *happy dances around* Yes, I know I whined and snivelled, more than once to poor Rylie *waves* hey girl! And I do thank her for her patience and not letter bombing me over the last month, greatly appreciate that. But, now that I've put the word out, I have more writing to do, so later peoples, I'll be back with the official word count on Saturday before midnight - Cheers and Peace Out Peoples!!

Just passing by...

Okay, this will be quick, just an update... I am now at 15,600 words at 6:35 p.m. local time Calgary. *grins* I am so rocking this. If I keep the pace going I should hit 20,000 sometime around midnight local time. *giggles* Unfortunately it is making me slightly giddy, to think I might actually finish this bloody thing. It has given me headaches at times, but nothing much else unlike some stories I've heard. I've heard of people having nightmares, sleepless nights of worrying, going insane... well, that last one might be an exaggeration, but who knows. And, Rylie, my friend *grins* if I get it done you can have your 'writing drive' back that you seem to think I misappropriated *sticks out tongue*. Okay, back to pounding on the keyboard peoples - later!

Full moon

** This is dedicated to Rylie, once I read her story (what she'd given me) it popped into my head. Cheers and good writing doll! **

A crystal clear night, the moon hangs full overhead
The city is buzzing with people going places
I take my turn, down the dark alleyway
No light reaches here, I quicken my step..

A scratching sound, my heart leaps high
Glancing back, nothing but a flyer floating by
Walk faster, keys in hand, head down low
Need to reach home, something's not right..

Heavy breathing, so very close
Spinning, nothing, my blood is pumping
Running now, need to get away
Don't want to be here... too late..

Hit the ground, pain spiralling out
Vision blurring, thoughts fading
A great weight, hard to breath
Sudden agony, warm wetness coating my neck..

A growl, something moving, shifting
Ribs snap, sight fading in the pain
Foul heat upon my neck, turn my head
It's out of a nightmare that which sits on my back..

I'm dreaming, something straight out of a movie
Bad sushi, taking it's revenge, dumping me here
I'll wake soon, all will be right once more
A voice speaks nearby, my world goes blissfully dark now..

A tug, a murmur, the pain returns, not a dream
Opening my eyes I see a man, gorgeous to the extreme
What happens next changes everything
Welcome to the dark, the night, my world..

The scents, the rythyms of movement
I feel the heartbeat of both human and city
I have strength, I have a very dark gift
For I am now and always will be - the beast.
