Loose Ends Have Their Uses

Good Lord…Are Those Words On The Screen?

Why yes, yes they are!  It all started on Wednesday when Dana dropped by for a visit and kidnapped me from the house for a few hours. We wandered a mall going in and out of stores simply window shopping. At least, that’s what I did. Dana bought rocks. She recently started designing jewelry and has been on a bead and stone kick. The mall led us to one of the most amazing “bead” stores called the Rock Barrel in Dallas.

While we perused all the shiny stuff Dana and I began to talk about stories. She had recently added a bit to Witching Hour.  While I was aware of this – I admit to checking the posts on E! on occassion, I hadn’t really decided to get back to writing it. While in the car Finger Eleven’s song ‘Paralyzer’ came on.  Not even two bars into the song Dana says “I still think of Riley every time this song comes on. When are you going to write that story?”

See a while back (at least a year or more) I started an RP story with Dana and one of the characters I tossed her way was a male vampire named Riley. I used the song as a way to introduce him. Apparently the song + my written description of Riley really stuck with her because every time the song came on the radio after that Dana mentions Riley. (And I really do mean every time.)

Yesterday I finally started the story up again. Between two lengthy posts  for what I am calling The Black Orchid Consortium and the posts for Witching Hour and Pulse  I wrote roughly 2,000 words. I made three short OST’s for all the stories to help me along and right now I think my favorite has to be the one for Witching Hour.

Let’s see what today brings.
