Okay it is so not my fault. I actually remember thinking on Wednesday to write a report, but now I'm still thinking where Friday and just...my days of the week is completely mix up. We've been very busy at the copy center at work, and when I get back home I get busy with making a list of things to do in June before we leave.
We reserved our uHaul yesterday :D tomorrow its changing the oil on the car, calling the car assurance ( since mine is expires on the 21st of June, that's like ASAP)
ANYWAY I'm working on the lesson 16? I think of the revise your novel, its going slowly now with the moving around, but I'm always thinking of it. Soon I will be cutting down my manuscript ( even if you know I'm basically writing everything from scratch) and I cant wait. I just cant wait to start writing. I'm writing on the side mostly fanfics of jolt ideas around in one place, its better then nothing.
Last week-end I want down to bathurst ( alone) and got my girl night! I got my nails done ( I cant stop staring at it, its so pretty), got a hair cut and color! I feel all pretty and refresh actually. I had fun, lot of it. I talk about going down the PEI, my writing. I feel great saying I'm going in writing! Its great to actually honest with yourself. For years I only coated what I say and hide what I really wanted to do. Just to protect myself from what other would say about my choices. My mom still on my case on it because she wants me to have a good paying job straight after I'm done college when I just remember on how it took her years before she got the job she had... and they still made her work her ass off for an ass pay and now she is on disability pension plan because she can't work anymore. She's 50 and she can't even do half the day before she have to lie down for a nap.
I have my dream job in my mind right now and I will pursue it the best I can. And even better.
OKay I have to go, I dont have a lot to say anyway, and I wanted to finish reading about the lesson before taking notes tonight so TAKE CARE!! :D

Report 120 - Home
For the longest time I called my parent house, home. It's only when I stayed for the summer last year did I start saying that this apartment being home. For a whole year this was home...Until last week. Last week end we went down to PEI for apartment shopping, but the only thing was that eh, I was a chicken and was only able to contact one apartment I called a few others but they where all off during the long week end ( I CALL BULLSHIT!) so We went down to visit one apartment. And it was the most perfect place we ever saw. Never mind coming back for visiting others, we jump on that one. It's just behind the wal-mart in Charlottetown, the building is so well sound proof that I kid you not when the landlord close the door behind him it cut the noise, we couldn't here a thing of what was happening outside.
I fell in love with that place with the pictures, Scott fell in love with it the second we got in. We're sending our damage deposit today, like that its ours and we're moving in on the first of July. The landlord is doing some renovation of the place in June, his taking off the carpet and place hard flooring, paint and fix the walls and double check the plumbing is working properly.
the place is like 5 minute of walk from EVERYTHING! The university isn't far at all ether, and and and CHAPTERS!! For 22 years of my life I will finally be living close to a flipping chapters, its like dream come true. And the wurst ( well best ) is that it is a dream come true.
Few month ago I had a dream about this room a room where it was my office, I had my l shape desk close to the windows still, it was open and the wind was coming in, the sun was out but I don't know if it was setting rising, it was very bright in the room. The wind was moving some of my paper on the wall I stick there for my work. It was warm and perfect, I felt relax and at home I felt great. I was getting ready to work, I was holding a glass in hand and just looking at the scene in my office on how beautiful it was and great.
And the spare bedroom in the apartment is exactly like in my dream. There is also on how the living room place is exactly like how I wanted. I made a list of details on how I want my next home to be and this is exactly like I wanted. AND FANS ON THE CEILING THANK GOD!
so yeah, We're moving in on the first of July, I stop working on the 28 of June and start again at Charlottetown the 9 of July giving us a week to unpack and get to know the place better.
Anyway on last report I was working on a method to basically strip down my story and see the holes in it, well there was A LOT and I am now down to two. Which is mostly the motivation of the bad guy, why he waited 2 days before making his move to kill Dan. If I strip down the date to the day before the accident Dan wouldn't have enough training on his power to survive the treat, that's why my muse give me a two day time frame between the scenes, making enough time for Dan to get comfortable with his power and try to make sense of what he know and try to tell Ken ( his mentor) the treat against Greg. Ken doesn't believe that Greg is evil, he believe that Greg is posses by a Ugly( corrupted souls look like floating snot that screech with horrible smells) and that he just need a hit on the head to get it clear up.
If I do decide to make it a series, then it be true, Greg is being posses by the Boss Ugly. BUT shhhh you didn't hear it from me!
It just, I need to find a reason for why Greg waited so long before he makes his move and it has to matter, because if I throw something random or say it just has to, when I write my novel it will have a gap and readers will know. I need to find a reason that matters, that will make sense for the readers and me.
But after I'm done that its lesson 16 which is the last few prep before I go to the cutting. Where its both exciting and frighting. Ether or. I was planning to do the camp nano this year but with the moving, new work and getting ready for Uni I will stick on just working on my novel for now. ANd use my new knowledge on how to work plots to make my Not so Hero story for NaNoWriMo 2012. The plot is still the same but I just change a few things, its still running in my head, both the male main character and his uncle are the same. Eccentric, loud and wild manners, he work on like three things at the same time, very smart, build things from just scraps, and prefer to leave it like that, hate new things always paranoid that its being tab on.
Anyway, its going to be fun. ANd that was all I wanted to report, we have an apartment at PEI, going to move out in a month time and that I'm working hard on my novel!
Take care,
Steph~

Report 119 - Writers Solitair
Sorry I'm late with my report, I've been busy with well, moving XD I was supposed to call people today but hum I don't have their name so I still send emails, but I know I will get answers back since now I actually give my phone number, fuck the long distance its worth it.
I also came back late from work and just... Eat and work on my novel revision. I'm doing this exercise that holly lisle call the Writers solitaire where I basically play around white my scenes card and hell its amazing! I find teh perfect starter chapter that way. Now I placed all my card in descended numbers next to each other ( 30-29-28...) and I'm writing like the battle and then questions of what I don't know about it like why are they battling, why is the bad guy after him, why isn't he fighting back, then I mark the time frame between the two scenes like "30 minute before" mark down whats the scene and write every question that the scene give me and so fort.
I manage to find like 3 plot holes I never tough before because, some question I ask myself I can answer later but there is some that I just froze and be like..." why? HOlly crap I don't know why... Need to figure it ouut" I also did, after a few scenes down when it just click in place and not only did I find how to fix the plot holes I was able to make my bad guy more...bad. well scary because I always find that he wasn't motivated enough or scary enough for anyone to care.
Anyway I fix it with technology that open portals, bad guy eating souls and killing someone because he said the wrong answer. And shooting the MC lover through a portal, good times good times. But there is still a lot that need fix up. Like in my story right at the end before they battle the bad guy I made that Daniel ( Main character) rescue his old dad now the King of the ghost dimension, but the king all super powerful doesn't want to be rescued, not yet, he say its not his time yet to move out. And well, it made me think...why did I made Daniel rescue someone who doesn't want or need rescuing in the first place? I can take all those scene away and it still make sense, because the only thing the king does is take out the force field the bad guy place to beat up Daniel and try to eat his soul.
HO god I'm a genius. I love writing my reports to you guys I always figure out things later. I was just letting my train of though saying that someone else could easily destroy the force field, when I ask who to my muse she just shrug and say guess and that's were I go "ho god I'm a genius" KEN! Ken is another character that teaches Daniel on how to control his power, I could just change the scene around where Dan goes to rescue Ken, because hell he care for the men and he did save his life ( twice) so now Daniel actually have motivation to go down and rescue his mentor! You guys are awesome!
This is awesome. I just have to write down the details of the evil technology, the back story of how Gregory ( bad guy) decide to go on the dark side, when he started, how he climb titles and what power he was able to absorb ( I know a few, he has senses, make force field and purple fire beam thing) and I also have to make a time line of when and how Daniel start to get his powers, cause they accumulated and I know at the middle, he is using his whole power like instinct when he is trying to get away and survive. I saw that extra scene like a movie, I could see the fluent movement of Daniel as he roll out grab his clothing and fade through the wall in the hall way, use his ghost vision to see in the dark and a green steam just above the floor like a cord in a maze showing where to go to get out of there, it was...mesmerizing. and exciting. I just like how it ends
"What the hell are you doing? And where is your shoes? We had that conversation Daniel, you need shoes."
"Sorry I was to busy trying to survive to think about SHOES!"
haha take care!
