Gawwwwwwwwwwd, why does this CI: L chapter have to be so LONG. 

it's nearly 18k and it's nowhere near closing. :< 

AND I DO NOT WANT TO CUT IT IN HALF WHEN IT COMES TIME TO POST IT!!! 

Why is it so long, you may ask? Well, it's partly because I feel it's imperative to show the friendship circle between Diego, Theo, and Hudson, and now we're back to the mammoths and so now it's political stuffs and it's just LONG.

I think I'm going to follow in Glory's footsteps and make my own response for what I find challenging in writing.

For me, since I've been writing for close to over a decade now, you'd think that everything would mostly come easily to me, but ha, it doesn't XD 

What I find most challenging in my writing is dialogue, to be honest, it's long been a struggle with me as I try to achieve a sense of realism with it. 

In the age of Tumblr, however, the most challenging thing for me in regards to my writing is simply not being distracted. During NaNo my workaround for avoiding Tumblr was to blast my playlist for my novel that I have on Youtube and not budge from the Youtube tab at all, no matter how many notifications from Tumblr piled up. 

Also, another challenging aspect for me in writing in general is that I need space. I don't know if I've ever managed a "true" drabble of 100 words XD and that's because I simply need enough room within my writing to properly convey all of the emotion and depth I'm looking for, since oftentimes, when drabbling, I tend to go over. *Thinks of all the 1k fics that became 2k or larger, whulp* 

I've also found that even when I actually have outlines, I have a lot of trouble following them exactly, because, like I mentioned already, I need space.... to show everything as it needs to be. (This is why all of my CI stuffs is long, and why CI: Lacrimosa chapter 13 will probably break the 10k + word count upon completion). 

Hmmm.... is there anything else? Ahhh yes. Another thing I find challenging in my writing in general is that I'm so prolific that I have at least a dozen or more uncomplete or half-finished stories everywhere. Being prolific has its downsides. >.>

Huzzah!

CI: Half a Mammoth is finally complete - at 10, 558 words! 

And yes I underestimated how many words I needed to finish it.... it wasn't 200 or 300, it was 782.

If someone were to draw something for you, what would you request? :)

Ah, hello anon! 

Oh, that’d be easy, the story (ies) nearest and dearest to my heart, my Ice Age novel-length fanfic series Cruel Intentions since I’d love to see it come to light in pictures and in fact I’ve already given permission to a new friend at DA to draw inspiration from the prequel story (and onwards) for art. 

Other than CI, I’d probably request some of my most emotional Korrlok fics to be arted XD Or well, any of them really haha. 

[lunarblue21]

Progress on CI:L chapter 13 thus far

2.5 pages in under two hours (or an hour, don't trust me with time), 

2, 808 words. 

In total, 

7 pages. 

and those 2k words are gonna just be the TIP OF THE ICEBERG for this chapter. 

But now I am feeling drained and I still have a Korrlok Month drabble to do, so I am commencing a break. 

I REALLY LOVE WRITING CRUEL INTENTIONS BUT IT REALLY DOES SEEP ALL THE ENERGY OUT OF MOI.

The Portal Between the Worlds

There’s a portal between the worlds,

 I saw one day fair to see,

Shimmering in the distance,

Beckoning to me and he.

The portal is invisible, seen by only two, creators, some of the few

Granted access through.

The portal is a wormhole Lost in Time, hidden from view

Are the two

Brave enough to venture into it?

Will it cause their hearts to be lit?

Heroes, creators of two worlds

They go

Being full aware of that Cruel Intentions in one world flares.

A Harbinger emerges, his face haggard and fair, warning the travellers to beware.

“The Time of Lacrimosa is coming,” he says as his cape blows in the wind.

The creators seek to ask his name, but their time with him is at an end.

Another figure comes round the bend,

A person dear to both,

The Yesterday’s Child,

A boy of the wild,

Who enters full of hope.

“Yes, Through a Glass Darkly,”

He begins, taking the creator’s hands.

“And Ghosts of Future Past are assailing, though despite our fears and sorrows sore we know Brede/Breda – and you – will guide the way.”

Across the lea he begins to depart,

Leaving the man and woman, the creators,

Somewhat faint at heart.

Can they complete the task?

Will they see it through?

Clutching at each other’s hands, they brave a smile.

The two, yes, they will see it through!

Contingencies hearken, causing the couple to break apart,

Yet now they know the Origins that lie deep in their hearts.

But lo! Now onto the next part!

The king must be saved,

Another peril braved,

Or the act of killing a king will clang throughout the land as a dragon and his boy

and their band appear,

Making the creators let out a cheer.

The creators sigh, happy tears in their eyes, as nearby a door shimmies into view.

A farcaster between their worlds,

Daring and new.

They turn to each other with a smile,

Taking each other’s hand as they prepare to step through.

But for one last moment,

They look back,

Revelling in the landscape of mountains, valleys, trees, yet best of all,

The people and animals that belongs to two – the Bredelands – as their creators hold their gaze.

“We’ll be waiting,” a man and a mammoth, two leaders, say in unison. “Don’t worry; we know you can do it!”

Now at Journey’s End, the creators smile and wave, sad to leave,

But know that they will never have really left since things unseen  - dreams, visions, stories – are eternal,

Even though the call beckons them home.
