"Kami you taste good."

Mama Higurashi stopped in her tracks frozen outside her daughter's door.

"I've missed you for days.  I can't believe I left you here!"

The tray shook in her trembling hands at the hanyou's whispered words.

"Inu-Inuyasha slow down!"

"Don't move like that."

"Wait. . ."

"Oi! Wench, hold still."

The bed squeaked loudly beneath their combined weight.  Eyes wide, Mama flung open the door.

Kagome froze midscramble, half-eaten ramen held out of Inuyasha's grasping fingers.  Mama set down the tray and walked away face aflame.

"Did she think. . ."

"Keh, stupid woman. You'd taste way better than ramen."

( Perfect Come on Details )

For those of you who don't know, because you cover your ears when I rant or whine, I've been trying to write a novel. . . For about 5 years. Yeah I know that's pretty pathetic.  It was supposed to be done by the end of undergrad, and instead I dove into my love of Inuyasha fanfiction to practice my writing skills.  Which honestly made me a lot of amazing friends and improved what little talent I do have. But now as the graduation date of my Masters rapidly approaches I realize that I'm no closer than I was years ago.  So I've decided that there's no time like the present! ( Join the insanity . . . )

Ever feel as if you've fallen behind and there's no possible way for you to make up for lost time? Well unfortunately that's precisely how I feel about my writing at the moment.  I have the best of intentions and then drown beneath the world of a full time job and graduate school.  I KNOW in my heart that writing is my only escape, and yet writing for my own pleasure is the one thing out of a hundred I can't seem to find the time to do. And by the time December rolls around I always feel as if "there's another year wasted". 

Not this year. 2009 WILL be different.  Not because I've made some kind of pledge, or because I expect the universe to magically add another 2 hours to every day just for me.  It'll be different because it has to be.  Because the thought of going through just one more year with the world I only dream of trapped inside of me is simply UNACCEPTABLE.

Sooo, instead of lurking and watching others put their ideas on paper I'm going to do it myself.  I don't expect it will be easy.  Honestly I've tried before and always let something else become more important.  But when I feel myself giving in to the chaos that is my life I'm going to remember that damning feeling I get every December 31st when I realize that my dream is still unrealized.  I know I'm playing catch up but if it was easy it wouldn't be worth it. Right?

So its coming down to the wire.  I have one month left of my first semester of grad school and all I can think is THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE ANY SUMMER CLASSE! I'm really looking forward to focusing on some writing just for me.  When you write for school, and your job is writing and fixing everyone else's writing by the time you get to your own pieces your muse has already tapped out.  A bit tired of devoting so much time to helping other people get better while I get worse.  But enough with the whining. I haven't posted in a while though I'm on Livejournal everyday checking everything else out.  I've joined a bunch of communities and I'm sure eventually I'll have the time to check em out like I really want to.

I did manage to get a few things written in the last few days.  What Little Girls are Made of won first place in Moonlight Sanctuary's "Sugar and Spice" drabble contest. 





So far I've done pretty well in the contests I've entered.  I decided at the last minute to enter the contest for this week.  It's really hard for me to stick to these really small word counts.  222 words is so small to me! Go fig.  But I managed to crop it down to fit.  This week's theme is "Experimentation".  Tee hee! Of course my little hentai mind went to a bunch of naughty places based upon the theme alone.  But I actually had some PG fun with it instead since I figured lots of writers would go the opposite direction.  Or maybe its just my mind that's constantly in the gutter?  Anyways here it is if you want to check it out.

I hope it does well!

I'm also thinking of starting my own community for fanfiction or novel writers.  Haven't decided which one to do yet.  I'm in the process of writing both.  I just want a community that does unique contests, writing sprints, and writing support.  Not sure which one would be more useful at the moment. But I know I'll have more free time in a few months and I want to get to know more writers and readers on her as well.  Well if I come to a conclusion I'll definitely let everybody know!

My muse is in full swing the past couple of days.  I'm getting all these ideas. Too bad they're not on the fics I should be working on lol. 

So I've been surprisingly productive these past few days.  I'm usually trying my best to drive myself crazy between grad school, writing, and good old grown people responsibilities.  But somehow I'm sane. 

So I've been on the wonderful world of LiveJournal for about a week now, and though I hesitate to say it, the communities seem pretty awesome.  Looks like I may have another addiction. ::sigh::  Well at least I'm keeping to my promise of only craving things that are free in 2008.

Here's a list of a few of the fanfiction artists I can't live without! Most write for the Inuyasha fandom so enjoy!

P.S. All of these stories are rated R, M, or NC-17 so if you're underage please do not read. What can I say I'm a litte hentai wench. :)

 

Title: God's Territory
Author: Angelswrath
Rating: R for violence and sexual themes
Series: Bleach
The rejection of events. The girl’s power takes so-called events which have befallen objects and restricts, rejects, and negates them. It’s a power that can bring things back to the way they were before events happened. It’s the power to infiltrate the territory of God.

Shades of Grey

Shades of Gray is a series of short stories that try to capture the emotions behind some of the more complicated decisions in the series of Inuyasha. They will always refer to a scene in the anime, and will probably focus on the characters that don't have a defined "good or evil" role.

Title: Something to Protect- Echoes
Author: Angelswrath
Rating: R for now, though there will be some adult content in later chapters.
Spoilers: Takes place after the last episode in the anime. (So manga does not count)

I finally figured how to add links to my page.  Took waaaay too long but go figure lol.  The links I've added so far are to my fanfic on Mediaminer.org, Fanfiction.net, and Deviantart.  I'm gonna add some more detailed links about the series fics I've created in the next few days. 

I'm completely new to the whole LiveJournal thing, just got my account this week.  Some of you already know me as Angelswrath so if I don't find you on here then feel free to friend me.  Believe me I could use some help just figuring all of this stuff out.  I was hesitant to join as I thought this site was a "myspace" or "facebook" type of thing.  But the communities here are solid, and I've been floored by all the stuff I've discovered just this first week.
