Lile ♥
So, I was looking in old Lile blog entries (for reasons I will explain a few chapters later) and I just noticed what a long way she has come and I just wanted to acknowledge that. At first she was very self-consious about her writing, often taking things down or finding something wrong and deleting it. Now, I think Lile writes just for herself and is so uninhabitated in her writing and interactions with her readers so well--I mean we love you. I also think she had found a great balance between herself and her writer persona that wasn't there before. I mean I honestly can see how we became friends through our writing, it is just really great.
I took a glance at some of my favorite, LA,FS and S&A passages and I feel like I am reading it all over again for the first time. Even after all this time and knowing how it ends up I can still feel the characters passion. There are a couple times she posted saying she was quitting and I just want to say I am so glad she didn't.

So, I was doing like I ocassionally do and re-read some of my old work. I am not really concieted or anything, I actually find some of it a bit cringe worthy. I mean, I re-read UL2 and I was like 'this story makes no sense to me' for some reason. I mean everyone was getting thrown in jail left and right and having mood swings.
I was originally never going to deal with the court case and write sort of this New England Romance Type Thing, like the first chapter was. I just made up the phrase New England Romance Type Thing, I think the better word is Lifetime Moviesque.Anyway, part of me thinks UL2 would have gone down better that way.
The point of this was I also re-read Veritas and I realized I made a huge error in Hidden. In chapter 4 Alan not only states his birthday is November 11th but, he is going to die April 4th. The events in Veritas take place roughly over a month so it ends in May. Meaning Hidden takes place 6 months later in October/ early Novemeber which means it probably isn't his birthday . . . although if you stretch it a couple of days I guess it does work oddly well. This may have been a pointless section.
Re-reading this made me realize I totally need to start up on that Lexicon, because it gets a bit convaluted. I will get to it.
In Closing
So, maybe this isn't the most bloggiest of entries but, as I come to an end of this exact entry I realize I may be able to squeeze some UL short stories out. I think I may need help from my tropes first. The impossibility does not seem so great to me know for some reason. And I am not trying to pull strings this is honestly how I am feeling so, we will see.Full on Double Chapter Post
So, yes double chapter post. I finally have some music and in no particular order : One song is from a group that is growing on me, one song is the obligatory SYTYCD song, a song that is a huge favorite of mine I stole from Lile and listen to obsessively, One I hated a first but, came to really like.
