A Second Chance

Hello everyone. This is just a short blog on where I'll update the progress with my novel 'A Second Chance'. It's nothing overly special but if you keep up with the novel, you will hopefully find this blog interesting. ~A Werewolf Lover

Okay, first off, I feel your pain about writing. Secondly, I really love your ideas and what you're doing with the entire storyline! The story doesn't seem one bit cliche (from what I've seen) and I'm actually very interested in it. Keep it up!

Awe, thank you, dear. These words mean a lot.

Keep well [:

When you you think you'll be done with your book? And when you are done, are you going to have it published or post it here? I'm also a writer, a lot about wolves, so I know how long it takes to actually finish a book (still haven't finished one I started when I was 13 and now I'm 18 because I get too busy or keep putting it aside) but I recently found from your other blog that you are writing this book and it seams so interesting! I love wolves <3 Can't wait to read it when you're done! :D <3

Oh goodness, I'm rather unsure. In the early months of 2013, I had hoped for it to be completed by December, but I fear it won't be published for a bit of time now. I work near 40 hours a week, attend university, perform quite a bit, and need to cram sleep in there somewhere. I wish I had much more time to work on the novel, but I thank you so much for your kind words [:

One of your characters is schizophrenic you said, and you've been doing research on it. Do you know if there's any way to calm a schizophrenic down that's currently hallucinating?

Through my research, there is no real way to calm down a schizophrenic other than anti-psychotic medication. At the point in which they're hallucinating, their brain is too far gone into psychosis that they need to be brought back with an anti-psychotic. However, if you can, take the person on a walk for a bit of fresh air. That will allow the brain to relax a bit and allow flow to travel, sometimes forcing the mind to return for even a short period of time. But be supportive, it is not something in which they can control.

Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon one can neither resist nor understand. -George Orwell

Quick Update.

The book has been going well. I've been working on it chapter by chapter, but it is coming along quite nicely.

when an artist wants to show you their art

or a writer wants you to read what they’ve written

it’s quite often an expression of trust

because a poem or a story or a painting are often things that come from the heart

little pieces of the artists themselves

and if they’re willing to share it with you

you should appreciate it

Imagine if Tom Hiddleston played Mason or Langston.

Now that would be incredibly interesting. In a sense, I could see him as Mason, but not 'present tense Langston'. In the story, Langston is in his late forties and I wouldn't wish for Tom to do that. But I could perhaps see him as 'past Langston' . . . still, it would be an interesting choice. Perfect, but interesting.

Mason has golden eyes though.
