Savvy

Life has been hectic for me in more ways than one.
          
          I got a job now, so I am trying to maintain a balance with college and work, not to mention the fact that I am trying to find time to continue my stories on the side as well.
          
          I have a few ideas of what I want to do before the end of this year:
          - Finish Riders of Havoc (just finished chapter 8 today, got 6 left)
          - Continue with Behind the Silver Moon Lining (I cannot find IDEAS to save my life to complete this story)
          - Release a poem anthology dedicated to my harrowing personal experiences and loved ones
          
          As for next year:
          - Have Behind the Silver Moon Lining and Modern Vintage Vinyl (just finished that one already) ready for Wattpad
          - Start Riders of Havoc Book 2
          - Pick up where I left off with Electrified 2: Spark of Dreams
          - (Maybe) rewrite the story of Camouflage (to be honest, I feel like the interview when I first done was kind of cool, now I'm starting to think of another idea that could change the whole storyline forever like I did for Elektra)
          - Speaking of Elektra; get ideas for ELEKTRA 3: Bloodlines ready
          - Gather ideas to do a Mighty Boosh fanfic (again, for those who know, you know)
          - Rewrite my fanfic of Queen of the Damned to align with 2022's Interview with the Vampire series (Sam Reid as Lestat is just UUUUUUUHHHHHH; WHEN CAN WE HAVE SEASON 3?!??!?!?!?!??)
          
          So, that's my plan for this year and next year; hopefully things turn out better for the best.

We will miss you, Liam Payne. You will forever be in our hearts. ☹️❤️

happy 19th birthday to me :)

To turn 19 tomorrow is scaring the hell out of me.

IT'S OFFICIAL.
          
          My FANFIC OF QUEEN OF THE DAMNED HAS REACHED 1K READS!!!!!!
          THIS IS THE FIRST EVER STORY THAT'S REACHED THAT AMOUNT OF READS EXCEPT FOR MY BLACK CAT SAGA SERIES.
          
          I've been on this platform for five years in November to get my imagination out there, and I have succeeded. I hope this will carry on in the future.
          
          Just an update: I'm doing okay-ish, just been working on Modern Vintage Vinyl. Yes, I skipped to the third story because there were so many ideas for that, which I am currently lacking for Behind the Silver Moon Lining, but I promise you, those two stories are still ongoing. I've also been publishing chapters of ELEKTRA 2: DANGER ZONE, just need a bit of time editing before I can move on and start building ideas for ELEKTRA 3: Bloodlines; that sets the final premise in Elektra's story. It feels strange flickering from genre to genre like action to music in my case.
          
          I've also been plotting to do some work with Electrified 2: Spark of Dreams, but that will be dealt with at a later date.
          
          I'm also gathering ideas to plan a Mighty Boosh fanfic (for the ones who know, you know) that ties in with the Electrified timeline.
          
          And I'll be 19 in less than 3 days. How fast time flies.

I just had a thought today which might work.
          
          I am going to rename the "When Rock Meets Melody" sequel "Bleeding Love" to "This Could Be Our Sick Love Song" after the lyric to the chorus of Mötley Crüe's song "Sick Love Song" from their Red, White & Crüe and Greatest Hits compilation albums since it kind of sums up the relationship between Nikki and Melody from the previous story and the challenges they are going through. I can make "Bleeding Love" the album Melody makes as a "heartbreak album" towards Nikki, however, everything else is still in working progress.

UPDATE: I've finished the cover for ELKETRA 2: Danger Zone and it looks pretty sick.
          
          Also, I've been working on Modern Vintage Vinyl and needed time away from Behind the Silver Moon Lining to gather up some new ideas to continue with the Sixx:A.M. storyline. It involves a lot of backstories and flashbacks, and I have a knack for wanting to limit these kinds of things when it comes to incorporating them into stories like ELEKTRA, Camouflage, or Electrified for that matter so that it can fit the narratives without carrying the rest of the story.
          
          I've been debating whether to change the year the ELEKTRA stories are set. In the first drafts of the two stories, the first one is set in 1989, and the second story is set in 1990. I have an idea with the final story being set 20 years after the first story that results in this climatic battle between Elektra and the Kingpin, but setting it to recent years like 2019-2020 (especially since it was at the time COVID came bouncing up) and then further into the future is a bit of a stretch, so I will go back and edit these bits out to make it more appropriate to the plot of the final story.

I'VE FINALLY GOT A LAPTOP AFTER MONTHS OF NOT HAVING ONE.
          
          I managed to get one yesterday and the feeling of relief never felt greater for me. I found the one I wanted and I got it. Now that it's in my possession, I can pick up where I left off with the remaining stories I have yet to start.
          
          So, what's new for the end of summer/start of Autumn?
          
          I'm going to focus my energy on publishing my first two ELEKTRA fanfics on Wattpad.
          
          Then, I'm going to continue with the next two sequels to "My Little Rae of Sunshine": "Behind the Silver Moon Lining", and "Modern Vintage Vinyl" which are based on Sixx:A.M.'s first three albums and the continuation of Sixx's story with the band, as well as the third story focusing on Rae's relationships with her family and her alcohol abuse.
          
          As for Anime stories like Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town and Riders of Havoc, I'll be taking a break away from it for a while as I focus on finishing the Sixx:A.M. stories.
          
          For the Saints of Los Angeles and Queen of the Damned dilemma, I've got plans on what to do with those stories in the new year.
          
          I've concluded that I'll be unpublishing the Black Cat trilogy. I've had a lot of fun with it over the last 5+ years and I've seen how much my writing has evolved since last year so I guess it's been an improvement. I'll be honest, I'm proud of my work and I hope this continues.
          
          By the way, the first Elektra story will be published at 2 p.m. today, so don't miss it and give it a good read!

If your up could I have some advice on how to write up a story I've been writing

I've just been listening to the Queen of the Damned soundtrack today that made me rediscover my love for the movie again. Along with "Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed being my new favourite song.
          
          I've looked back through my fanfic of the story and I'm thinking of reworking the whole thing again like I did with Bonnie & Clyde '86 to make it better which will take a while.
          
          I kinda want to fuse it with my Saints of Los Angeles story because it has the scene with the Admiral's Arms but I don't know what feels strongest.
          
          Let me know what suggestions you guys may have and I'll get started. ❤️
