Meet Thalia Owen, nine year old daughter of Melinda and Damian Owen. Raised by her mother and shielded from her mother's travails as well as her father, a man who never wanted to know her, Thalia is a shy and soft-spoken little girl.Nearly a year ago I made a decision to attempt (unofficially) the writing prompts from Simfic50. I say unofficially as I don't include word count, summary, etc. but I wanted to use the premise for when I am blocked or just feel like I want to do something different with all the crazy ideas in my head. I already had a blog set up for short stories so I thought I would post there. I took down the previous work (the images were too small) and added a piece based on my Chameleon series which was not going to follow a traditional story timeline; it was simply going to be stand alone pieces based on Melinda Owen, proprietor of the "gentleman's club" called Chameleon. You may have seen photo shoots of her "girls" on my photo blog, Through The Lens.
It has since grown and woven its way into Sessions by way of crossover characters, something I had not intended but ended up happening. Having discussed the future of the story and where I am going with it with Beth, we both agreed that it should become a companion to Sessions. To that end I have created a new blog that will thread in and out of Sessions in a similar fashion to Rising Above and Passages.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the story line:
Chapter 1 - Death
Chapter 2 - Beginnings
The pieces are relatively short, the newest one, Chapter 3 - Choice, being a mere 22 screens. It has been written for awhile, just not screen capped. I hope you will enjoy Melinda's journey.
Disclaimer: No tendons were harmed in the posting of this chapter.
Many, many thanks to Beth for fixing up the new blog and making it pretty and shiny! Thank you for everything!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, but there's still some text that's not showing up. I get all those comment tabs confused...
ReplyDeleteThe story is fantastic! You know I've loved it for a long time - so glad you decided to put it out there for everyone to enjoy!
What text? It looked ok when I re-read it...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad too. One more shiny ornament and I do feel better.
What a wonderful Idea!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just love how all yours and SB's stories/blogs are linked together!
I'm off to read the new chapter!!!
Glad to hear that no tendons were injured, LOL! Hope you're still doing well and taking it easy. I will definitely check this out once I'm done drowning in trophies and ACS stuff. Breast Cancer walk tomorrow, woowoo.
ReplyDeleteYou two and all these blogs! You're even overcoming all of mine, LOL.
I didn't know you were on with this at all - goes to show how observant I am sometimes. I have added a link to your site on Simfic50, I know you say its unofficial, but you are using the prompts so its close enough in my book. I'll have to catch up a bit later, but thought I would at least let you know it didn't escape my attention this time.
ReplyDeleteS@ndy: Thanks! It made sense considering Mel was in The Other Side of the Stage and there was already some crossover. What I have planned for her really fit as a subplot but not important enough for it to be part of the main story since it really doesn't involve Coop.
ReplyDeleteMao: Thankfully it was already written and I had some of the shots already taken. You have a lot on your plate; no worries :)
Goodbye_sun: I was sort of hiding in the closet with this. Using the prompts to stretch my writing some. So no worries!
