Singing in the Rain


I am just going to say it - I adore this girl. Cadence can light up the stormiest of days. Really. Just look at her.


I have been worrying over this storyline for ages. It has been almost 5 months since I did anything with Wyatt's story. The piece changed quite a bit from its first incarnation. I had a whole deal going on with Wyatt coming to terms finally with his mother's death but it was just too fluffy. I am tired of the idea of Wyatt clinging so desperately to the past and wanted to move him along. Instead he ended up knee deep in the same old stuff. No more poor Wyatt! He needs to move forward! Right?

So. The piece is extremely short. It doesn't really go anywhere. It doesn't even fit with the main story line but whatever. I need to keep him on track. Although at this point where the track goes is no longer clear. I'm stuck in Lodi again. (CCR reference for those keeping track)

The shots are unimaginative. It began to snow. Why? Because in my world, Millwood and wherever it is that Melinda lives are in the same NB and since I just completed Mel's piece, well you get the picture. I worked around it as best as I could. Oh yeah...and it rained. It wasn't supposed to rain.

I have not gotten around to adding music to all of Wyatt's chapters so if you would like to listen to the piece that accompanies this chapter, scroll down to #8 in the playlist. Velver Revolver. Totally worth a listen.

  2. that shot of Cade is absolutely beautiful!

    I loved that piece you did at Julia's house. Maybe we ought to have a place to show old pieces of writing as well as shots that didn't make it - that one is a gem.

    and looky at the links...wow...

  3. Muzegoddess: Thanks! I love them as well. I am glad they hit it off so well.

    SB: I liked that shot too! Yeah, Julia's house...I figured throwing the shot of it in at the beginning would pretty much cover what I wrote.

    *shakes head* I was adding the "Read More" deal to the rest of the posts. And now I have linkage but only to 6 chapters? WTF? Oh well, it will probably be gone next time I look.

In Perfect Harmony

In June of 2007 I posted my first chapter of Dark December. Since that time, the story has evolved and changed in part through a collaboration that developed and lasted over 4 years. During this time a friendship was forged. Thank you Beth, for unwavering friendship, support, and generosity over these last 4+ years. It has been a journey I will never forget.

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

In dreams, the sun sets in our eyes
In dreams, we'll never be apart
In dreams, I'll promise you'll never be alone
How much I wish your voice could send me home
