Dream a little dream...

Had a dream the other night, and I'm pretty sure that I need to attempt  story there...just don't know how. Here's the story idea;

Main character is a succubus. She has a sister, a brother, two parents. In the beginning she's nearly caught with another succubus sucking the souls out of two boys. She runs back to her family who puts her into hiding until it all blows over. She gets antsy and sneaks out, meets another succubus and her son who she helps get to an alternate universe, but then she goes back to find her sister...

That's all I've got. I don't know if I actually want to do that story, but that was essentially the dream.

Latin Words with Meaning

So after reading a few stories that I got away from a few years ago due to the urge they gave me (to write something like them) that I didn't feel capable of handling at the time, I've decided to conquer the urge. Well okay, so this is more like me ever so slowly taking baby steps towards following the urge. At first it was flat out refusal, and then it was 'Well what could I call them that would be different?' I still maintain that I don't want to do this sort of story, I'd be no good at it and it'd be too close to what I read that I wouldn't consider it original.
I keep saying that but I am desperately playing around with plot ideas and character alterations that I could do to make it my own thing.

So think of this; A world of humans and these Sagas (Latin for witch). Sagas are a type of being that live twice as long as humans and have hundreds of different sub-species. The main character is a fox-saga.

The prologue has to do with her being in love with a wolf-saga. As many people forced to take science will tell you, wolves are creatures who live in packs and who protect their cubs as one, but foxes are more anti-social. The wolf-saga she falls in love with is killed when his village is attacked. She had been there, an outsider, helping to protect the children with other wolf-sagas, but everyone but her and a few children survive.
After taking the children to a nearby wolf-saga village, she spends the next couple of years protecting the mass grave site of the village from grave robbers.

I haven't gotten farther than that, so I don't know why she leaves the village yet, but I'm working on it. More news to come.

Wearing the Pants

So I started a few more stories (God help us all) and one of them is titled 'Wearing the Pants'. I think this story is going to be funny.

The main character works in a fast food place where she is constantly fighting with a co-worker. One night he kisses her and decided that he likes it, but she wants nothing to do with him and so the challenges are issued. She says there's no way he'd ever win her heart, and he says that when he does there's no way she can make him want to stay.
Pissed that he doesn't believe she can hold his interest, she enters the challenge, knowing right off the bat that neither of them were going to win this one. She mentions fleetingly that it's going to be sad, but pride won't let him win, and therefore she jumps in. Both of them find themselves fighting for control of the relationship that they find is budding.

What do you think? Leave me some comments, will you?

Of The Month...

So clearly that wasn't working all that well for me, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvience. I will alter that a bit in hopes that an alteration will help me stay on task. Instead of having a story of the month, short story of the month, and book of the month every month, I'll just have one every month. So this month...well I'll let you know once I decide for sure.

My Brother's Tutor

I started a new story I'd been wanting to write for a couple of years now called My Brother's Tutor. It's about a girl, MacKayla, who is searching for something to fill in the 'missing link' as she calls it. In her search, she decides it must be family connections, so she decided to take her brother on a road trip, however, he's been getting into some trouble with grades so her parents are having him tutored over the summer in Science and refuse to let him go.
Finally, she gets them to agree on the condition that his tutor comes along as well. She could not think of a worse punishment.
Basically, they go on vacation for a month or so because she's trying to 'find herself'. She wants to gather up all the pieces and put them together. This is one of many attempts to achieve that.

Noble Queen

Okay so here's a poem I wrote in Sam's point of view from the story A Race Divided

Noble Queen
I have so many lives at stake
And the war we face causes my heart to break.
We've lost so many, I can't deny.
I've tried so hard not to let them see me cry.

Every night it's one step closer.
I try to push it back and fight it,
But my strength is slowly seeping.
I find that I have trouble sleeping.

My troops are standign at the ready
And I've gotten more to stand beside me.
Sworn to protect their sons and daughters,
Nearly lost my life to keep that promise.

Our enemies are just misguided,
This civil war will cause disaster.
They're even killing one another,
And blame it on me to feed the anger.

To sneak into town dressed undercover,
I feel like an outlaw in my own world.
I just want to end the fighting,
But it seems the capability is out of my hands.

With a sigh I turn away.
I've lost control and lost the lives
Of too many now to play it cool.
This must end right now. Tonight.

They want a war, they've made it clear.
I'll have to show them what it is to fear.

Debbie Pepper's Song

So I have a friend, Debbie Peppers recently asked me to write her a story based on a song she's always wanted to see written out. The song's called 'Angie Baby' by Helen Reddy. I have nothing from the story, but here are the lyrics to the song I'm trying to base this story off of;

You live your life in the songs you hear
on the rock and roll radio
and when a young girl doesn't have any friends
thats a really nice place to go
folks hoping you'd turn out cool
but they had to take you out of school
you're a little touched you know
angie baby

lovers appear in your room each night
and they whirl you across the floor
but they always seem to fade away
when your daddy taps on your door
angie girl are you alright?
tell the radio goodnight
all alone once more angie baby

Chorus
angie baby
you're a special lady
living in a world of make believe
well maybe

stopping at her house is a neighbour boy
with evil on his mind
cos he's been peeking in angie's room
at the night through her window blind
I see your folks have gone away
would you dance with me today
I'll show you how to have a good time
angie baby

( angie baby ) (angie baby )

when he walks in the room
he feels confused
like he walked into a play
and the music's so loud
it spins him around
till his soul has lost it's way
and as she turns the volume down
he's getting smaller with the sound
it seems to pull him off the ground
toward the radio he's bound
never to be found

the headlines read that a boy disapeared
and everyone thinks he died
except a crazy girl with a secret lover
who keeps her satisfied
it's so nice to be insane
no one asked you to explain
radio by your side
angie baby

Chorus
angie baby
you're a special lady
living in a world of make believe
well maybe
well maybe
well maybe

well maybe
