nanowrimo2012...a month later

so i started a month ago as a 

                         and ended the month as a 














it was definitely a challenge trying to "force" myself to start from scratch
                    usually it all just comes to me when it wants to be set free
but it was attempted, nonetheless
          

                 ?why did i not succeed with 50,00 words??

??why did i only 

manage to scribble out 

3,122 words?

let's just say life has changed since the last time i took on the  nanowrimo challenge
                                                                                                                    different job..............  
                                                                                                                    different house.........................
                                                                                                                    different marital status.............
"it is what it is, but it is mine, and i am seeing it bloom more and more everyday."

so, until nanowrimo2013, i shall continue to work on the manuscript that i started,   but hopefully now it will feel comfortable enough to step out on it's own instead of me forcing it out of the porlo



until the next chat...

yes, that's right!  National Novel Writing Month!!





i was absent to NaNo last year due to a certain life changing expierence...

wow!!!  it's been 1 year already!

          

          and a year before that, it was a month dedicated to...

when i became...

but, now, i must get myself back into the groove and become...

so here's to a month of delving myself into the thing i love tremendously...  i get to have an excuse to stay in my porlo for an ENTIRE MONTH!!  whoda thunk it!

is it possible?

i think i have done it...

i think i have just finished Beautiful Disaster:A Novel!

actually, it is now titled Beautiful Disaster Book One Three Hills Saga
A long title, i know.  But i think things are turning towards a sequel.  (i don't know, read the epilogue and tell me what you think--teehee!)

momma's the first one to get her hands on it, once i get it printed out.  she has the red pen in hand and ready to read. (please be gentle)

so, we shall see what my first reader thinks...

it's the title page!!!

inspiration, collection, and the porlo

TSMGO
it is coming together.

i found pages that had been written years ago..yes i said "years"... that i had thought where lost and forgotten.  it's amazing how God will bring things to you in the timing that it needs to be. 

that to say, i now have two drafts of the same scenes with different directions that i can now combine as one. 

it's all part of the process, i must say.

***************************************************

my porlo continues to change.

what is this porlo you say?   well, it is the place that i can meet with my characters.  it is the space i spend my time.  it is the location where my thoughts remain until we meet again.   i had to find such a place so as not to drive myself crazy.   



welcome to the imaginarium porlo

i think about all the screenplays, stageplays, manuscripts, and the like that are cramed into my little brain and i get scared that one day they will all go away without me having completed their story.  so in the imaginarium porlo, i can leave everything knowing that i can return at anytime to sit down and pick up where i left off.   there's no queue for them to stand in.  no number to wait to be called.  when they want to meet, we meet.  when they want to roam, they roam.



my muse in the full

is this all crazy to you, the reader?  perhaps.  but i hope that my fellow writers who read this will understand the ramblings that are typed on this page.


until the next thought calls...

progression

so i have sent TSMGO to a fantastic music composer.  yes, that's right, i see TSMGO to contain some sort of musical arrangement.  now, i'm not talking about "the sound of music" or "sweeny todd", but, perhaps, a little bit of "australia" or something of the sort.

i'm excited to see the creation she brings forth.  could this be a future partnership in the making?  i could only hope so!

try not to jinx it...

okay, so i've been debating whether or not to post...  it seems that each time i begin to post of my progress, the progress decits and i am back to that familiar block i so dredfully detest.

hence, the title...

so THE SHOW MUST GO ON has found its way back to my priority list.  i haven't talked much about this one, surprisingly.  interestingly enough, it's one of the first attempts at recording of my 'imaginarium porlo'.  it's in about 3 of my books scattered across my desk currently.  it's even made the storyboard wall...  (pictures to follow, eventually)  it has the possibility to include some musical composition of some sort (request in progress).  All to say, my mind is ejecting all the thoughts, scenes, characters, and dialogue that have been residing in the porlo for over three years to date.

here's to further progress on the one project that i seem to be connecting with at the moment
