Twilight Calling

Last night was a night that was centered ONLY around my fan fic for 'Twilight.'

For those of you who don't know, Twilight is a novel written by Stephanie Meyer. It centers around a girl named Bella Swan and her relationship with a boy named Edward Cullen. It seems like you're everyday girl-meets-boy story...except that this 'boy' is really a vampire.

It truly is an exceptional story. And let me tell you, it took me awhile to even buy the book at first- I never was a fan of "monster-stories" where vampires, werewolves, and the like were involved and was a skeptic....but Twilight is so much more than that. Apart from it's romance, there is plenty of drama, suspense, and mystery.

If you haven't yet, you MUST go pick up a copy. And after that, you'll need to read it's sequel, New Moon (out in Sept. 2006). Besides...how will you ever be able to understand my fic for the fandom if you don't read the book? ;)
-:-:-:-:-

Anyways, now that I'm done with that *pimpage* of the book, here's how the fan fic for it stands right now:

I was able to plot out all 20 chapters. I know exactly what is supposed to happen and when...and even what is going to be saved for it's sequel- that's right, I've even got it's sequel in mind.

I currently have started in on Chapter's 1, 4, 9, 10, and 13. And don't be alarmed by that- I usually write my fics as the ideas come, making the actual writing of the chapters done in an out-of-order fashion.

I also finally selected a title and decided on a summary, as well as a few other key character facts. Unfortunately, because this is my most ambitious project, I'm keeping most of these details under-wraps until it's actually published...and alright...because it's a competative fandom (in my opinion anyway) I don't want my idea taken (as of this post, there is still no fic like it).

-:-:-:-:-

I'll be now writing on four different stories at once, each with different genres, tones, and styles. A lack of an update on their progress may mean its going too well to stop and will hopefully NOT mean I hit more writers block (which reared it's head for a moment last night until I beat it off with some music to keep the juices flowing).

As always, you'll know whenever something has a break through.
Until next time...
