My Muse

My muse is driving me mad lately. I've been working on school and trying to get at least ONE story hammered out. However my muse has had OTHER ideas. lately she's been bouncing from story to story, not wanting to focus on any for very long. Between several stories and school, I can't seem to pay attention to much these days. I just wish my muse would behave and let me maybe hammer out a short story or at least a chapter of one.

Long time no update

Things have been crazy for me. I graduated from university and jumped right into law school. I quit the job I had for 4.5 years and moved on to looking at temp positions due to the lowered stress levels so that I can focus on school.

School is hard. Nothing really prepares you for law school. You basically have to sink or swim and pray you get to swim. I understand why the schools do this, but I honestly wish there was more prep before going in. They warn you that sacrifices will be needed, but what they don't tell you is just hard some of those sacrifices can be.

The shop is still up and running and it's doing well.

Winter break is a great thing even if it's only two weeks long and I've gotten a cold due to the crazy California weather.

I hope everyone has an awesome holiday season!

Update

I have graduated from Uni and I am now part of the real working world but finding a job is not as easy as it looks. So, in an attempt to earn more money until I can find a real job I have opened a kitsy lane shop

https://blackdovedesigns.kitsylane.com/join/2XG0gBD

Along with my Etsy shop:

www.etsy.com/shop/serinsblackdesigns

Please feel free to browse both.

My kitsy shop is a jewelry and accessories shop of new and upcoming designers I hope you will like, the store will update weekly with sales and specials so check back often.

As always the etsy shop is all about knitting and selling the patterns I am working on


so shop away!

Creative ADD

So it appears I have creative ADD in the last couple weeks of my senior semester. I've started 4 knitting projects while studying. I've also begun writing again, but it's slow going. My muse is being moody due to all the formal papers that I have to write. It has been difficult to get my little muse going, despite all the inspiration and all the stories in my head. I am nearly done with school and will perhaps then, get to allow the plot bunnies to run free.

My knitting is spastic and I can't seem to stay on one project for more then a few hours before I burn out.

This is a quandary that I must now consider......

It's up!

Pattern number 2 is up! I am so happy! Again though it's free since it's such a simple thing to do. But I am so excited!!!

soo....

Ok, finished the trench coat, gonna get pics for it soon. Also thinking of writing a new pattern...we'll see how that goes, I have such a hard time writing them, especially since most people don't understand how my brain works...

Chapter 2 is up!

Chapter 2 of my fan fic is up for all to read... Here ya go!!!

The Date

New Projects

Well, since my last post, I've written a bit on the fan fics, finished the silk shawl, knit a hat for the new BF's b-day, and have officially cast on my first sweater! I have been a busy little crafting bee!!!

I'll upload a finished pic of the shawl here soon, the hat, I won't sadly as I have given it to the BF already and he loved it and it fit great!

The shawl is huge! It looks great and I can't wait for it to be chilly enough to wear! It's still far too warm in Cali but it's a very pretty shawl now.

The sweater is a simple cardigan and it's going to be great. This pattern is particularly easy to do and I can't wait to see the results!!!

Pics to come!!!

Still writing, still knitting

I'm still writing and still knitting. Working on a silk shawl using lace weight hand painted Chinese silk yarn, got a while to go before it's done though. Also working on a shop bag so I can frequent the farmer's markets and buy veggies and such that way for more affordable prices. It's being made with cotton yarn so that it is washable and has some stretch and is still strong. I promise to upload photos soon. I have to take them in some decent lighting, the photos I send to Facebook and Twitter aren't good enough for here lol.

Minor detour

I'm thinking I may need to put the HP stories on hold. My other 2 fan fics are riding me fairly hard right now and I feel more urge to write on those then I do either HP story. I'm going to finnish them, that's for sure, but right now they need a break. I've been trying to push them into fulfillment and my muse is now fighting back in a rather wicked way lol. I've also started to to slowly but surely pick up my favorite hobbies again, like photography, drawing, knitting, and so on. Lol though in small steps, I'm not trying to do them all at the same time, though I can use photography with any of my hobbies lol.

More on Novels and Fan Fics

Working on the Fanfics but I have been wrapped up with my final semester in Jr College. I graduate this Saturday!!! Party!!! After that I will have atleast one semester off to write to my heart's content! Yea!!! I have the first chapter of the SS/OCC done and ready to post but I'm not posting it with the LM/OCC not done since technically after the LM/OCC >_< But my muse insists on riding my brain on multiple stories. This is confusing at times lol. I promise after graduation I'll work harder to get the stories up, but I'll warn you, they might be novel length by the time I'm done lol.

Now I'll leave you with a question,

Watch the Vid and think: What would you say if you had only one peice of paper and minutes to live?

Writing

Still working on the date scene. Ron is going to be a big catalyst is showing just who Sara really is lol. Can't wait to get it done a post it, but real life is a pain since I'm also in school again. Not to mention family crap and drama.

More Writing

I haven't updated the story yet, but I have made progress in it. I have also begun to write another story featuring our favorite Potions Prof! As well as I small story featuring our fave Goblin King! No, I'm not focusing on either of those at the moment, but I do at least have an idea as to what I'm going to write for them. I am for now, just focusing on "Of Ancient Lies and Long Held Ties". I do promise to post Chapter 2 soon. ^_^ 

So for now, Happy Reading!!!!!

Good news!

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Tediousness

Like I said in my last post, I did find all my notes. Now it's the tediousness of retyping them up on my computer and backing them up so I don't lose them again.

I'm also fighting the urge to write a later bunch of chapters including the chapter where Lucius and Sara sleep together lol.


Write again soon!!!!!!

Great news!!!!

I found my notes!!! I'm soo happy!!! Now I'm going to type them all up and then back up said files.

A sad note

I may have to start both my HP fanfic and My novel over, my notes have gone missing. I hadn't typed everything up yet and now my notes are gone, so I may have to begin them both again.


*cry*

eh

The actual date is slow going, but then again, I am still processing exactly how I want it written. it doesn't help I keep getting sucked into other people's fics instead of focusing on my own lol. I am still plugging along though I promise.

Wahoooooo!

Chapter one of my fan fic is done! I'm not posting the thing until it's completely done though. I'm already working on chapter two and have made plans for the next few chapters. Got to plow through the date and then it's smooth sailing....not! lol


Also made a bit of head way with the novel I'm writing but that won't be disclosed for now.

writing

Well, apparently I've regained my muse. Though not how I thought I would. I've begun to write my first fan fiction. HP fanfic to be exact. But it doesn't involve two characters from the story falling in love. it involves on character and a character of my own. That's all the details I have on it for now ^_^ Happy reading
