Travel Into My World

For the last two days I haven't done a crap load of writing. Wednesday and Thursday just drained me because I was out and about with Mom and Daddy C. But I can't complain to be honest. Both occasions were nice. Daddy C and I are very close so I've actually really missed the time with him.

Some things were discussed that I haven't really talked about with anyone yet. Like where I am going to go when Mom and Daddy C move to Florida. Originally the plan was for me to live with Daniel here at the house, but that is a very slim possibility at this point because Dan is struggling so hard to find and keep a job. One minute he has one the next he doesn't. It's ridiculous.

My plan is to try and find a friend who would be willing to take me in with all of my limitations, and would be able ot take care of me. (Get me to the doctors, get me out of hte house sometimes, things like that!) Patrick was Cal's first option, but given our history, and his still "pining" for me, that is never going to happen. The boy wears his heart on his sleeve, too. Then we thought about Fred. Well, that's not going ot hapepn cause the boy doesn't know how to save up for an apartment. Ugh. I'm very upset about that.

My ideal solution would be to move back in with Lexi, to be honest. I had a lot of friends up there, and I know that Lexi and I would be okay. We've talked about me coming to visit many times. But given the current situation right now, I'm not sure I'm ready to go up and visit. My plan is to try and visit later in the New Year before Otakon. I want to see everyone. I am missing Liam growing up, and I just...yeah. I am still regretting having never gone back up there before Mama Kat died. -sigh- I know Lexi doesn't blame me, but I still feel bad that I never made it to the funeral, either. I wish I could do so much more for them than I have.

So. Today. I wrote a little over 5k words. I finished "The Main Attraction" and tomorrow I will begin working on the full length sequel to "Into the Fire". I am excited to see another of Victoria's psychic abilities develop. And to see her really have it out with Marcia when she goes to visit the woman in the psych ward after one of her many visions. (Don't worry, she doesn't go alone. The triplets take her so that she's supervised).

Perhaps the one thing I am most excited about are the prom scene, and interlaced story of Tori returning to the stage after taking a year off performing to focus on the carnival and finishing school.

There is also a subplot where she's continued being treated by the triplets, which is even more important with the emergence of the psychometry which they first experienced with Marcia. Whoo! So many plans. I just need to get to bed so I can execute them properly, yeah! Good night all!

Trivia: Marcia states in a later fic that the triplets are her best friends. (In a special deleted scenes edition of Into the Fire, the triplets go to Wyatt and Marcia and plead for them to reconsider. Aaron, espeically takes their refusal hard because he had the closest relationship with Marcia his trapeze partner for years) .

So! Things got even more twisted, terrible, and sad. My fanfic is taking on some interesting events, and I'm surprisingly okay with this. So let me get to yhe nuts and bolts first.

Words written: 4,797
Total: 38,039

TJ's total at time of entry: 39k.

So I did the whoel big thing with Wayne basically draining Marcia's power to the point of unconsciousness. Madame Leota saving her from worse fate, and then Julius agreeing to let the Munroe twins take her into hiding so that his father couldn't hurt her anymore.

I didn't write a lot during that time, so I have to go back tomorrow and write more words there because I can really see Wyatt and Wade taking advantage of the situation, and at least Wyatt trying to impose his feelings for her on the poor girl. I meant to do it, but the muses went in another direction. Which brings me to this:

Julius' father died. Since I haven't figured out exactly how or if he just died or if Julius killed him, I had Julius say it was a freak accident. Lucy, as it turns out, is not like Marcia. She stayed to take care of her boys. Good girl, Luce. Good girl. (I had thought that Lucy was being held there by power only, and nothing more. .I'm glad that she was not!)

After his demise, Julius came to the twins and set Marcia free of all the manipulation and hypnosis that his father had used behind his back. He made her go home even though she didn't even remember that place.

Later she showed up back at the carnival, distraught. She couldn't remember her home life at all, or the girl she was before Julius had abducted her. Her only memory was of Julius. And that she had to stay there.

Now Julius is being forced to live with his treacherous deeds and take care of Marcia. She is basically needing to be cared for as if she's forgotten exactly how to take care of herself. This, as it will turn out, is the same thing that happened to Cecily, who had been mentioned earlier as having to end up in a psych ward.

I am thinking that eventually Aaron or Spencer will do something that will fix it so that she doesn't have to go to an institution. Probably more likely it will be Aaron as it is proven later that he is the most power of the triplets, psychically speaking. (Victoria really doesn't like him that much...lol).

I am pretty much stuck now as to where to go with it next. I still have roughly 11k more words before I hit 50k. I am determined that this fanfic will hit that amount. I have never written one quite that long even though "Into the Lion's Den" came very close! This is my personal challenge to myself. Write a 50k word fanfic. LOL. But everyone thinks I will end up writing 100k because of my challenge to TJ. I don't think so. This story isn't anywhere near 100k. If anything I'm really stretching it out at this point. We'll find out. Ugh. I hate that I have NO idea where I am going from here. Not good, self. Not good.

Trivia: Tonight discovered that Marcia's favorite of her own sons is Espa. The reasoning is that she developed a really close relationship with Spencer Roba, and Espa has a lot of his same traits. <3

SO yesterday I was upset with the NaNoWriMo site for having bugs I forgot to come here once I was able to update and tell everyone the totals, and the things that have happened! So here goes:

Yesterday, I wrote 9,967 words. The total for the Fanfic is now 26,757. As of last night, I was ahead of my rival, TJ. But I haven't checked things out this morning yet.

Last night's plot twist threw me for a loop. The Munroe twins are holding Marcia captive supposedly to help her see sense. (I think it's mainly to piss Julius off, but we'll see later today what comes of that!) I really don't like Julius' father. I like him even less than I like Julius to be honest with you guys. :( Julius is turning out to be just as much a victim, so we'll see what happpens.

NaNoWriMo isn't all consuming, despite my totals. Before I went to bed, I watched Boy Meets World. Since my tablet was 60% I could only watch one episode without having to get back out of bed to grab the plug. Sadly, I still wouldn't have been able to watch more than one episode. Ever since the main plug broke, the tablet doesn't run while its plugged in. Isn't that stupid?

My dreams last night were so weird, too. I started out at a convention for Jim Henson (yes,That Jim Henson) where I met the voices of the Fraggles from Fraggle Rock. Mostly it was the guy who voiced Gobo and the lady that voiced Red (I think?). I don't even remember the names! But there were all these muppets everywhere, and sketch artists drawing cartoon versions of all my favorites. I think the most surreal part of the dream was the Steve Whitmere and I got into a really deep character discussion about Kermit the Frog. >.> SERIOUSLY?! I have no idea where any of this came from.

Then, after I moved out to the living room like I do sometimes in the morning, I had another, completely different dream about these...lego? people? It was weird. They were miniatre dolls, but they all thought they were real people. I don't remember the boy doll's name, but I remember the girl's name being Ava. That name probably comes from Ava Morgen Stern, from Girl Meets World. Even for a doll, she looked a lot like her. Just a little older. I remember all the dolls being in a lecture hall, after being "weeded out" by this older looking man. He reminded me of President Snow from The Hunger Games, but he could've also been Dr. Barnes from The Testing, but anyway! The male doll was freaked out, and didn't want Ava to leave him. Ava, apparently, was considered a flaw, and wasn't even supposed to be in the room, and she was "sucked up" by some huge vacuum device. Again, CREEPY.

-shudders- I am going to have to reemember that dream for later. It sounds like it would make a really epic story, doesn't it? Anyway, I'm off to write for the day now. See you guys later!!!

Also, (even though I don't think people on LJ can see it) Lexi found or made me some other Roba icons! This is Espa! My boy, and in bonding terms, he's becoming one of my best friends, especially when I'm not fangirling him all over the place. LOL.

Trivia: Along with Julius and his brothers, "The Main Attraction" makes references to other people that Espa talks about throughout time: Madame Leota, Boris Sr, and more notably, Lyle Pryce, who is Julius' age at the time of the story. Espa would later mirror his father's friendship with Lyle by befriending and becoming best friends with Carlton, Lyle's son.

2 Days from NaNoWriMo! I am so excited. For the first time in a long time I am actually more excited to see if the magic of reaching that 50k goal stand even when faced with doing things differently than I have in the past.

But first a bit of griping. So tonight my friend Valerie leaves me a message on my Facebook Wall: Do you still want the box?

I know what she's talking about. She ahs been gathering things to send to me for months. These things include an autographed copy of Icon by Margret Stohl, a set of Parabatai necklaces (because they're the equivalent of best friend charms in the Mortal Instruments world) , Jamie Campbell Bower's autograph and I think something else, but I'm not sure.

She's asking me because, once again, I went off the grid and supposedly didn't tell her. Which I have back up stating I did tell her, and I told everyone. I need to be in this place right now where I am not Role Playing the same things. I need to give myself time to get Yu gi oh out of my system, or let it sink back in, whichever the case may be. I can't focus on The Mortal Instruments or any fandoms right now because these other ones are just overpowering. This equals NOT being able to talk to a lot of people. I know that sounds awful, and maybe shallow, but that's just how it is for me. It's hard to talk to people who aren't familiar with the fandom when all you want to talk about is that particular fandom.

Anyway, apparently me going off the grid equates to me not wanting to be her friend anymore. Uh. No. It means just what I said it means. I need my space, stop harassing me. Finally.

This nearly caused a nasty blow up on my public Facebook wall, and Lexi stepped in to fix things. (Thank you, dawling!) -sigh-

But back to NaNoWriMo and my prep for this awesome hoiday! I wrote the last bit of Into the FIre today. It took me the entire morning and most of the afternoon. Part of that was my fault as I stopped and got a Pumpkin Spiced Latte from Starbucks when I went out with Mom to get her hair cut. I will be following suit next week, and getting my hair cut to chin length and getting my bangs back! >.<

Into the Fire ended interestingly enough with Espa taking on full guardianship of Victoria in order to get her the help she needs to stabilize her psychic gifts. Marik and Espa don't tell her that Espa has been given this guardianship officially. Instead, they let her believe it is her idea to move in so that Espa can get on with his own aspirations of getting his GED and going to college. In the meantime, she will be continuing school at Domino Academy via the internet. It was hinted at that Jonathan and the others are planning something in lieu of her missing her prom, but that was never written out. (Yep, another possible short story/ blurb. Cause you gotta have Christien and Victoria go to the prom, come on!)

My next fic is completely Roba-centric which is exactly how I like them. I have been in love with the five Robas for so long, sometimes I forget that before I got a hold of them, only Espa had a name. Haha. This fic will deal with Marcia and Julius Roba. How they met, their connections to Wyatt, and a few other things that needed to be written out and explained. I can't wait to sink my teeth into it. The question I have to have an answer to is this: Is Julius really the manipulative jerk that Wyatt claims that Christien took after? I don't really know the answer to that one. It's one of those things I won't know until I actually try and write for him again. I don't count the two previously written chapters because according to Spencer Roba, that's not how it went down. (Yes, I have Spencer Roba muse now. he went from being a side character to being a main character in Into the Fire, along with his two other brothers, Cale and Aaron.)

He will be a main character in "The Main Attraction" as well, since he is Julius' brother. I can't wait to write it all out!! EEE! Can't wait!

Trivia: Jonathan and Christien are both home schooled. The littler ones go to a private daycare where they are being prepared for home schooling. This is all funded by KaibaCorp because Seto Kaiba didn't want to see the brothers taken away from Espa for any other reasons.

So since "Into the Fire" is being wrapped up by tomorrow, I have a whole day (Halloween) to plan for "The Main Attraction". I'm not buying it. I need to brain storm here before I forget some of the things I need to make sure are clear.

The first thing is how Marcia and Julius Roba come in contact with each other. Skyesville is country area, so I imagine it will have some larger housing areas to, in and around the carnival area. The carnival is kinda the "gathering" place for most except the extremely rich, like Marcia's family.

I can imagine that Marcia was brought there once by her nanny as a little girl, and has a had growing fascination with it, and in particular, the main attraction, Julius Roba, the carnival's psychic.

I wrote a draft of their first official meeting once, and after re-reading it earlier this week, I have decided I didn't like the initial meeting. Given the history Wyatt Munroe states as true about Julius, I can picture him being a bit more aggressive with Marcia than what I originally wrote. Just subtly so.

I can't forget that there is also Wyatt and Wade Munroe as teens to consider. There was always this constant struggle between Wyatt and Julius over Marcia's well-being, which translates when it comes to Victoria and Christien. (Of course in later years, Wyatt has gone a bit power hungry and has lost his real purpose for being that was, so the well-being thing is non-existent where Tori is concerned. he's a bit delusional there) . Wade was an innocent bystander most of the time, trying ot keep the peace. He remains good friends with the triplet Robas, however

I have to remember to write out my character sheets for "The Main Attraction" tomorrow because there is a whole new cast of characters that are going to be introduced. I am excited about this. I've been wanting to tell Marcia's story for many years and I'm sure this time it will come out perfectly. Let's just hope it's 50k worth!

Trivia: Aaron, Cale, and Spencer, and their sister, Tracie each have a similar trait to Espa's brothers. Spencer, like Jonathan, was always Julius' second in command. Aaron was the serious one, like Christien, and is also an accomplished master of Suggestion. Cale is considered the most playful of the triplets, like Andrew. Their sister was like Ej will be, an accomplished master of telekinesis.
