Mainly due to my own fault and partially due to the fact certain people were hindering me from doing what I enjoy. Which is, writing. I love it. I love telling stories. I want to see people get involved with my characters and curse me when things don't go as they plan it in their heads. These are things I would like to accomplish. So, here is a quick run down of things:
<br><br><br><br>
-- My Lycki Warriors (werewolves) are getting an over haul. There is several blank spots in their characters and I need to fill them.
<br><br>
-- My Anubians (werejackals) are something I need to better explain.
<br><br>
-- Introduction of other "myth" based characters. These I have yet to even touch on. I know there is a few other types of "myths" in my book, but I never sat down to tell their stories or histories. Which is something I need to do.
<br><br>
-- Decide how old WAA really is.
<br><br>
-- Finish out my histories on my Hunter families.
<br><br>
-- Decide on all the "evil" characters in my story line. Right now, I have several. I think I need to condense them to just a small hand full. Easier to deal with that way.
<br><br>
-- Get to a library and do some freaking research. v.v
<br><br>
<br><br>
Also, I will be introducing some new characters. Some that have been around for a long time and finally decided to quit being so shy. These new characters will tie into the main story line, but most likely will have their own books.TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-68514567906995897032011-11-19T14:15:00.001-06:002011-11-19T14:15:11.639-06:00<a href="http://soundcloud.com/user4521661">http://soundcloud.com/user4521661</a>
Have you heard him yet? This boy should have been signed a long time ago. Why is it he is still in the dark? Yes, I am sure there is a few rough spots, but I know with some help he could go far. He has what it takes. The looks, the moves, and the voice. So why hasn't someone noticed?
Any way, if you get the chance. Listen to a few of his clips. I am sure that will make him happy. -_^TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-61014252198532563712011-05-21T14:58:00.000-05:002011-05-21T14:58:23.641-05:00I can hear it... I can feel it...My muse, thank the goddess and god. I can hear her. The tiny or loud voice in my brain singing the stories of my characters. What gives my books life and my finger purpose on a keyboard. I can feel it... I can hear it. The whole of my being is vibrating with it. Or... it could be that bade Chinese I ate. Either way... writing is going to be a must this weekend and next week.<br />
<br />
Also, let me mention vacation. I will be taking one. I need one. My brain has been over fried for a while and I need to, pardon this, but vegetate somewhere and relax. This past 6 (-/+) months have been killing my muse. So, I think a trip to the mountains or some where quiet is needed. I am going to try to do that this year. I need a recharge. My battery has been bleeping low for a long time. I just have been putting it off and ignoring for a long while.<br />
<br />
Any way... just thought I would be random today. XDTheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-78979586005778777052011-05-02T17:54:00.000-05:002011-05-02T17:54:55.918-05:00Yay 80th Post!Any way, today marks my 80th post here on Blogger. Awesome, eh? Any way, here of late I haven't been writing much. Maybe a sentence or two. If that. Each time I sit down to write at home, I get bothered. Either by my fiancee, my phone going off, or my grandmother needing help. Which sometimes kills the mood to write.<br />
<br />
Sadly I can't put up a sign on my door. "Go Away, writing!". It would just be ignored. So, I have been dealing with near constant botheration. Which really sucks. I don't get to write much over at my friend's house either. Due to the constant stomping, yelling, singing, cussing, etc. that goes on. Very disturbing.<br />
<br />
So, yeah... right now my Muse is very upset. -_-; I think she is keeping a migraine the size of the Grand Canyon. Which really inhibits my... writing.<br />
<br />
However, maybe... just maybe today will be my lucky day and I will get to get some stuff done today. *nods*TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-32316714539824885432011-04-30T23:24:00.000-05:002011-04-30T23:24:26.365-05:00A Few Side Notes - Death by Nymph... Stuff<h1>A Few Side Notes (aka short description of book)</h1><br />
1.] Breeder - A full blooded Lycan that can only reproduce by traditional breeding methods (aka sex).<br />
2.] Meta - A full blooded Lycan or "turned" Lycan that can only reproduce by biting. Metas are pretty much genetic malfunctions in the werewolf community. They are evil, kill at will, and strike fear in many of the Night Dwellers.<br />
3.] Fanger - A derogatory term for a vampire. Many Hunters and other street urchins use this term a lot.<br />
<br />
These are some terms that are in the book. Mostly slang used by Hunters and other factions. Also, there is several different types of Night Dwellers. I just haven't gathered all yet. But, here is a break down of what is in the first book:<br />
<br />
Fire Witch - controls fire elements<br />
Water Witch - controls water elements<br />
Ice Witch - controls only ice elements<br />
Dark Shadow Demon - a very nasty type of demon. red skin, bright yellow reptilian eyes, black horns, black nails, and teeth that are razor sharp.<br />
Water Nymph - have some control over water elements, their sexual nature can be almost calming, and full bloods are extremely rare.<br />
Vampire - need I say more?<br />
Lycan - werewolf. two different types: Breeder and Meta.<br />
<br />
I will say that MOST Meta werewolves are crazy. So crazy they kill/slaughter innocent people and Night Dwellers. Very few Meta Lycans ever make it through the change and are "normal". Most give into the crazed hungers and other insanities. Night Dwellers really don't do anything about them. Only the "Hunters", who kill for the underground black market, control the population of Metas. After all, they are the only ones crazy enough to do so.<br />
<br />
So, while I don't condone killing wolves or even werewolves... I had to give my main heroine an edge. After all, she is a Nymph (well 1/2) and I wanted to give her a bit more oomph. Unlike most others. XD Most authors go the same ole route and make Nymphs... sex fiends. =P LOL Which there is nothing wrong with that, but I just wanted my Nymph to be different.<br />
<br />
Any who, that is a bit of notage for you guys. =]TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-36204947379435506542011-04-30T11:44:00.000-05:002011-04-30T11:44:44.405-05:00Alabama and TornadoesOkay, for those who don't know, I live in Alabama. Wednesday was one of the worst storm outbreaks Alabama has had in a very long time. For those of you with power over the last few days... maybe you have seen the destruction? However, nothing can really describe the total annihilation of some towns. Such as Hackleburg and Tuscaloosa. Just to name a couple. People were scared and worried about family in other towns. Due to some of the cell towers being hit and regular phone lines being down.<br />
<br />
Fortunately I was not hit by any Tornadoes, but I was without power a few days. I only saw glimpses of the destruction before loosing power. Then a few more when I got power back. As phones returned, people were regaling me horror stories of the help they offered in the places hit the hardest.<br />
<br />
One woman I knew pulled a 12 year old boy out, dead, from a ditch. She said she was there over 2 hours and when that happened. She couldn't do it any more. The site of a young boy, now lost, was more than she could stomach. I feel if I was in her place I would have broke down and cried my eyes out. Before puking my guts out. For the simple fact such a young life was cut so short.<br />
<br />
So yes, it is a very sad day in Alabama. Weeks, MONTHS of reconstruction will begin and towns will be rebuilt, but nothing will ever replace the hole that the weather left. Over 200 people are dead and 100s more missing.<br />
<br />
I am just thankful to be alive and able to see my family. Also, my prayers and heart goes out to those hit the hardest by these storms.TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-23313099756589220482011-04-26T17:27:00.001-05:002011-04-26T17:27:09.179-05:00The Dark Hour Chronicle UpdatesLast night my friend, my fiancee and I brainstormed ideas for this book series. So far, we have the over all plot, how many "book phases" are in said plot, and a way to draw readers into our world. Now comes the hard part. Writing the books. XD LOL<br />
<br />
I don't have any excerpts from the first book, but maybe in a few days I will post a paragraph or two. =PTheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-34622891083177702272011-04-23T13:07:00.000-05:002011-04-23T13:07:57.993-05:00Death by Nymph - Small Preview<blockquote><i><h1>Chapter 1</h1> Holy shit! This werewolf was hounding her heels like no tomorrow! She should have known this wasn’t going to be an easy kill by the sheer amount of money that sleazy Dark Shadow demon offered for its pelt and teeth! Now she wished she could have brought her other glock and daggers. She could sure use them right now.<br><br><br />
The worm finally caught up to her and made a lunge for her. She ducked and rolled out the way. Hopping quickly back on to her feet she got into a defensive fighting stance. Being half Nymph had some advantages. She didn’t want to use those particular abilities though. However, desperate times called for desperate measures and by damn, she was desperate! She had bills to pay and a Harley Chopper that could use a tune up. The money offered for this Lycan was more than enough for what she needed now. If only the damn thing would die!<br><br><br />
Squaring her shoulders, Alisa caught the crazed Lycan’s eyes and turned on that famous Nymph charm. She watched, as the werewolf’s eyes grew glazed over and began panting with its tongue hanging out.</i></blockquote><br />
<br />
That is roughly the first 3 paragraphs of the story. Any way, I am going to work on extending it and smoothing out anything I think needs it. =] Just figured I would give you idea of what this book might be about. =PTheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-11654383449417959312011-04-21T21:29:00.000-05:002011-04-21T21:29:17.909-05:00Death By Nymph update!Today I finally heard back from the publishing place I sent it too.

Sorry, but I feel like being blunt. I am in no mood to Sugar Coat.**<br />
<br />
--<br />
<br />
Okay, when I was 13, before the big OMG TEENS ARE READING PARANORMAL ROMANCE!!! WTFBBQ!!?, might I point out that Teens have been reading such books for a long time? Because I was 13 in 1998. Anyone worth their salt would know that Paranormal Romance wasn't exactly around back then. I mean, it was, but it wasn't. Most of Romance Novels were Contemporary or Historical. My first Romance Novel was called "Silken Tiger" and was a Historical Romance. It was the first time I read the word phallus, manhood, manroot, etc. All those lovely catch phrases to describe the genital areas of both sexes.<br />
<br />
Think about it. 1998 I was reading Romance Novels. So, what makes people think their "sparkling" teenagers are NOT going to pick up a book and NOT read it? Specially given the fact many Teens are into Vampires and other things that go bump in the night. <i>How do you not expect your Teens to go into a bookstore and NOT browse what they are interested in?</i><br />
<br />
Tommy and Lisa ARE going to pick up something that is eye catching and takes their breath away. Sorry, but if I loved to read and I was a Teen... I would gravitate towards those dark, sensual books that were so calling my name.<br />
<br />
It is natural. Honestly. To expect anything less or different would be like expecting a tree to turn into a rose bush at your command. It ain't going to happen. <b>The sooner people realize that their Teens ARE going to read stuff like, the sooner they can EDUCATE them on the subject matter.</b><br />
<br />
Instead of blowing things out of proportion and screaming at the injustice of it all. Cause I will be the first one to tell you, Authors need to make some money and if they know Teens are going to read it... guess what? Authors are going to write it.<br />
<br />
Also, don't just point your fingers at Authors. The MEDIA in this day and age has been doing this LONG before Authors wrote books that had Romantic Scenes or Sex Scenes in them. <i>Anyone remember Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, etc.?</i> No? Then go educate yourself on popular media. Go look at past TV shows on Youtube, Wikipedia, etc. Go look at the graphic details of movies, etc. Teens have long been exposed to this sort of thing before Authors decided to put it on paper.<br />
<br />
So, throwing a hissy fit over what your Teen reads is Bias in my opinion. If you want a What-Not of a Teen on a shelf, then by all means... take away everything. Books, TV, video games, phones, computers, etc. Home school them while your at it. Make sure they know how to quilt, cross stitch, embroidery, know how to cook, know how clean, know how to ride a horse, address their betters with formality, etc. All that old world BS that went out of style way before the 20s came to be.<br />
<br />
Go ahead.. raise a Victorian (or earlier) Teen. I am sure they will love forever for it. That you kept them from society and taught them things that no longer exist. So, when they go off to college and get a culture shock... you will have grandchildren and a mother/father that just don't know how to handle the real world. Cause obviously you lead them to believe in a fantasy of your making. Instead of teaching them about reality.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Good job and good luck.</i></b>TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-52175838815151007882011-04-16T14:46:00.000-05:002011-04-16T14:46:07.460-05:00How goes it.. fair maiden?I feel like I am trapped in some cheesy Shakespeare play where the characters half ass know their lines and try to sound like they do with cliche lines of the modern era. Seriously. Today I woke up and every little thing annoys me. All I hear is random old world sayings, etc. running through my brain and now I just want to scream. I have no idea why my brain is repeating such... drivel, but it is. *sighs*<br />
<br />
Any way, if you haven't read these authors yet, please consider reading them:<br />
<br />
Christina Dodd<br />
Larissa Ione<br />
Gena Showalter<br />
<br />
All three are fabulous authors. Each one does my favorite Romance genre, Paranormal. However, Dodd is known to write more than just Paranormal. Just in case you are into something other than the Paranormal.<br />
<br />
Besides the author recos, I do plan on TRYING to write one of the many books I am working on. My Muse seems to be a silly and fickle thing. Only wants me to write when I am in that "mood". Half way between relaxed and asleep. It is almost liked meditating with your mind at is sharpest point. Truly a very odd feeling, but I have to be in that groove to write and it doesn't come easy (or often enough).<br />
<br />
Training my brain to go into that mood is asking a brick wall to become a wall of wood. Not exactly going to happen. Stubborn brain. Any way, just thought I would update you all!TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-21576457235343209242011-04-13T18:10:00.000-05:002011-04-13T18:10:36.823-05:00Hello World and Goodbye Fantasy...Okay, I have been ignoring my writing for a while now. With a new job and watching my niece, it felt like I was in a whirlwind of chaos. Not to mention I was the Co-Admin of a game site. Sadly, I am no longer Co-Admin. I got demoted several levels today without rhyme or reason. My "boss" never came to talk to me or even discuss why I was getting demoted. Needless to say I am both hurt and angry at this moment.<br />
<br />
So, goodbye Fantasy land and hello World.<br />
<br />
I so missed you and your harshness. All your lies and corrupt dealings. I forgot how much I hated you, but now... I must live with you. Joy.<br />
<br />
However, there is some semblance of hope. I always have my books in progress and the characters I adore/love. I guess now I can focus more on them instead of the Fantasy land I was trapped in.<br />
<br />
Gods, how I have missed you...TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-90609478893395205972011-04-02T01:03:00.000-05:002011-04-02T01:03:29.963-05:00April Fools Passed SafelyThis year no joke was played on me and I am more than thrilled. Honestly, I am getting to old for pranks. Even though the kid in me sat in its' lonely corner and pouted because I didn't prank anyone on April 1st. Any way, I hope everyone had fun yesterday and enjoyed the pranks pulled on you. =]<br />
<br />
I don't have much in the way of updates or any new books to blab about right now. Maybe in a few days. <3TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-62757530980820348622011-04-01T13:09:00.000-05:002011-04-01T13:09:52.490-05:00Elaboration on Current WorksNovellas:<br />
<br />
Death by Wolf<br />
Death by Vampire<br />
<br />
I haven't officially began these, but I think the next one is going to be Death by Wolf. Which will follow Drake, Alisa's best friend, and his romantic tale. It will follow right after the end of "Death by Nymph", but not after the Epilogue. Mysteries abound!<br />
<br />
Of course the last book will be during the Epilogue of the first book. It kind of shows the war going on in Alec's head and how he meets his soul mate.<br />
<br />
That is roughly what is going to happen in those to little Novellas.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Novels:<br />
<br />
A Kiss That Bites - I haven't started the re-write on this story as of yet. However, if time allows (and Muse willing) I will be getting to it at some point.<br />
<br />
The Dark Hour Chronicles Series - I am sort of collaborating with my best friend and fiancee on this series. I can't say much about the series as of yet, but I think it is going to be a good one. So long as I quit putting the characters in very hilarious situations or letting something extremely funny happen to them, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Young Adult:<br />
<br />
The Order of the Roses - This series hasn't even been really thought through good yet. However, I do plan on working on this at some point. I have a very neat idea for a YA and I think the young readers out there will squee with joy. *nods*TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-47460915723203936212011-03-31T15:59:00.000-05:002011-03-31T15:59:17.654-05:00Current Books That are WIP and One FinishedCurrent projects:<br />

Sometimes I get lost in the battle scenes, but hey... don't we all? The one steamy scene I read so far was hot and the way it left me hanging... let us just say I cussed. Any way! My fiancee found these books on sale at Walmart. $1.99 a piece! For paperback and I was like O.O <- That be my shocked face. So, cheap books in hand, I began to read. I am loving the books. Sadly they don't keep wanting to read them until I finish them. BUT I do want to finish the first book. I mean they are good books and I love the first one so far. Just... was hoping for more I guess. *sighs* Any way... check that book series out!<br />

Well, I did decide that the beginning is crap and I so need to weed out of secondary thoughts. Bring focus back on the two main characters. Which means, my 30k+ word count may get cut to 10k or less. Maybe. Depends how much I feel like cutting. There is so MANY essential characters in this first book, that I don't know how I am going to cut it down. Looks like I may have to create books that kind of reflect the current plot line. Like a different POV but not. >.> Ah, I make no sense.<br />
<br />
So, that is basically what is happening to that book. Getting a cutting and a re-writing. Which will be the 3rd time for this book. *sighs* I just want to be perfect. D: My poor OCD is driving me crazy. ;_; I have no idea if I will -ever- get this book written and sent off. I just keep tweaking it. *cries*<br />

Okay, enough blubbering. Seriously though, this book will be epic. If I can ever get what I want out and perfect it. Any way, just a tiny update. -_^TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-42704474425566606652011-03-04T19:54:00.000-06:002011-03-04T19:54:51.584-06:00I do not follow Spambots on Twitter<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3MH8zGDXjCHWMg6j5S74mqZY-Yx0IXGng8A1_9-EJTizz-GI1qUBXgZnZBcKLpDUzEdL745qH4XoXJTOha7U7cOQFKzm2D-kXBNM55eicySJGEzOARwU8kGuDfdlZ7MYMA_tYfBTqHao/s1600/7168sess94.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="75" width="75" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3MH8zGDXjCHWMg6j5S74mqZY-Yx0IXGng8A1_9-EJTizz-GI1qUBXgZnZBcKLpDUzEdL745qH4XoXJTOha7U7cOQFKzm2D-kXBNM55eicySJGEzOARwU8kGuDfdlZ7MYMA_tYfBTqHao/s200/7168sess94.gif" /></a></div><br />
As a rule of thumb I do not follow Spambots on Twitter. Why do I need the aggravation? I have plenty of real life people to aggravate me without the help of bots. Of course some Bots are unavoidable and I try my best to block those I find, but I don't always catch them in time. Dial-up sucks. Just so you know. So, if you are on Twitter and like to follow me... please, PLEASE send me a message to let me know you are not a Spambot. Otherwise I may or may not follow back.TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-23999422092869535302011-02-27T22:51:00.000-06:002011-02-27T22:51:00.986-06:00Writer's Block Got You Down?Hey, I got a couple of tips for all those writers out there!<br />
<br />
<b>Meditation</b><br />
<b>Music</b><br />
<br />
One or the other or both is good for Writer's Block. Both help me to relax and then get in the mood to write. Try it!TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-46476954101148196422011-02-27T15:57:00.001-06:002011-02-27T16:03:39.336-06:00Death By Nymph - Update - SpillStill awaiting on that rejection letter. <br />
<i>What? Rejection?</i> <br />
Yeah. Didn't you hear? It is always best to expect "rejection" than to count your chickens before they hatch. <br />
<i>What the...? What does chickens have to do with this?</i> <br />
Uh, it is an expression. It means don't think you are going to be published right away. Instead imagine being rejected! <br />
<i>That is a load of crock!</i> <br />
No, it is not. For if you expect rejection, if and when you do get rejected, it won't hurt as bad. That and you can move on, write some more, and eventually get that book published or a book published.<br />
<i> You still make no sense woman!</i> <br />
Dearest Alexander, you are a character of my mind and people are going to think me crazy if you keep popping up like that. Now then... DON'T YOU GLARE AT ME WOLF BOY! <br />
<i>Aha! Got your attention creator. Now when are you going to finish MY story?</i><br />
I swear Alexander, I can't get nothing done with you around. *grumbles* Fine, your story is going to be after I post this. If I get to post this at all. Specially with all your interruptions. <br />
<i>Fine, I shall leave you alone. After you vow to finish my story!</i> <br />
*more grumbling* Fine, I will. I vow it okay! Now leave!<br />
<br />
Sorry you guys had to witness that. Seems like Alexander is getting pushy. He wants his story written. ;___; I am a slave I tell you. A slave! All he wants is me to write and write and write.... *boohoo*<br />
<br />
Any way, my post is about Death By Nymph. I am not even sure it will be published by traditional means. If not by traditional means (i.e. publisher), then I will go Indie. That also means I need to get a cover and stuff for the book. *sighs* It is good thing I come complete with multi tricks. I can do cover art (when I have the muse) and do web layouts! No, I am not going offer my services. After all, I don't have a business license. I would need one to do stuff like that.<br />
<br />
Well, any way, I do have a cover in the works. Just in case a rejection letter hops into my e-mail account and says <b>Hello</b>! That way I can hop onto places like GoodReads, Smashwords, etc. and see if I can't do this the hard way. Yes, Indie publishing is HARD. Get the memo.<br />
<br />
Any way... I think that is it dear readers.<br />
<br />
Happy words everyone!TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-26188056321643696922011-02-25T18:18:00.000-06:002011-02-25T18:18:26.700-06:00Help With N.Y. Slang? - Slang Website<a href="http://onlineslangdictionary.com/">Slang Website</a> <- Click the link to view website.<br />
<br />
I found this website because I mainly do the research portion of this book series I am writing with Winter Yuy. Though, I must admit she needs to do research as well. Only one person doing the research is bad Joo-Joo. Seeing as it might not give me time to write. Any way, reason for the posting of said website is because one of our characters is from New York. I have never been there and I don't always have time to find YouTube videos to watch. Considering dial-up is the bane of my existence and doesn't allow you to do much.<br />
<br />
So, for those of you who are from New York or know people from there... I need some good slang terms. You see, this character we are writing is/was.. a thug? I think that is the word best to describe him. He is hard and harsh. Grew up fast, etc. Everything you would expect from someone who has "street smarts". However, I know nothing of New York and the slang spoken there.<br />
<br />
Help?<br />
<br />

Today has been sort of a bad day. There have been a few spurts of good things happen, but not much to actually cover the crap that has gone on today. *sighs* You are probably wondering what has me upset or what has caused this day to be "bad". Well, a lot of stuff contributed today, but what broke the camel's back is this:<br />
<br />
Austin is my fiancee and I love him. I really do. Yet, he has been on male PMS for well over a month now. I have been trying to ignore it and I am trying to just forget his being an asshole. However, this afternoon and tonight just rubbed me raw. It is getting late and my grandmother and I are hungry. So, I contemplate making this bake chicken stuff I made.<br />
<br />
I call it the chicken roast. Cause it is similar to a pork roast you do in the oven. With potatoes, onions, celery, and carrots. Very tasty dish. But, we have no chicken, celery and/or carrots. So, I asked Austin to go get the items needed. I was watching my niece at the time and my grandmother's back is bad. Which means I must stay at the house to make sure my niece is well taken care of.<br />
<br />
Any way, Austin keeps on balking about going out to get the items and I finally suggest like hamburger steaks. He likes make open face hamburger steaks. Finally, he goes out to get hamburger meat and comes home.<br />
<br />
Later he tells me he wanted burgers. *face palm* I am at my wits end. No matter what I do here lately it is not enough. So, now I am off to bed and this cook is officially retired.TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334297487804378049.post-68773577748716581482011-02-20T13:12:00.003-06:002011-02-20T13:37:49.215-06:00Voice Actors + Kami Con = Awesome!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/37/Kyle_Hebert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" width="200" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/37/Kyle_Hebert.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I actually had the pleasure and honor of speaking with this voice actor on Saturday. I didn't talk much, because I was tired and my old self kicked in. Shy and ADD as hell. However, my fiancee, my friend Exhiled Angel, and Winter Yuy talked up a storm with this great man! Seriously, if you EVER get the chance to meet him outside the autograph table and he is not in a hurry, do so! He is awesome guys. Really he is.<br />
<br />
Kyle Hebert is very laid back and has a great sense of humor. Probably one of the coolest guys you will ever meet.<br />
<br />
Any who, my fiends and I went to Kami-Con in T-town Alabama and had a blast. Unfortunately due to stomach problems (dieing rear and other things) I was not able to attend Sunday. However, I am sure my friends enjoyed themselves and probably cussing because we didn't go. Let me say this, I wanted to, but unless someone wanted a new paint job, it was best I stayed home.<br />
<br />
There was quite a bit to do there. From autographs to panels where the voice actors talked to a huge crowd about certain subjects. Also, Johnny Yong Bosch was there. So was his band Eyeshine! It was a great weekend event and for anyone who has never went to a Convention like this... you are missing a LOT!<br />
<br />
Any way, here is some links to the voice actors I have mentioned in my post:<br />

My fiancee and I read a lot of the same books and I am glad we do. Gives us plenty to talk about and do together! Any way, any of Larissa Ione's books are good. So, I couldn't really pick an absolute favorite, but Sin Undone is a top fave of mine!<br />
<br />
Now then, a couple of books I would like to mention:<br />
<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/Dreams-Dark-Warrior-Immortals-After/dp/1439136807?ie=UTF8&tag=androwrite-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969">Dreams of a Dark Warrior</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=androwrite-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1439136807" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important" /><br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/Demon-Dark-Immortals-After-Book/dp/1439123128?ie=UTF8&tag=androwrite-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969">Demon from the Dark</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=androwrite-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1439123128" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important" /><br />
<br />
Both are great books and I would suggest getting these together as a pair. Or else you may not know what is going on in Dreams of a Dark Warrior.<br />
<br />
So, I hope these books will entertain you, leave you breathless, and wanting more.TheChosenDarknesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05080712596496786388noreply@blogger.com1
