Rainy Friday

Fri Mar 13, 2009, 7:02 AM

I guess this March is starting like a lion -- a cold wet one. I don't mind the rain, we need it, but I could have done without the cold front on top of it. I'm just lucky that I only planted onions in my garden and could bring the rest of my plants inside until it warms up again.

If you follow my LJ, that you know that I've been doing a character meme. [link] You can ask a question there without being a member so if you'd like to join in, please do. I'm hoping it jumpstarts my writing again. So far I've answered questions about Midori, Spike, Ramona, Tawnee, Spooky, Usagi, Kirin, and Ikeike. Please do not ask me about canon characters or ones belonging to other people.

*looks out at the cold, cold rain*
Well, it's safe to say I'm not going to yoga today. Time to work on other things.

SUNDAY NIGHT ART CHAT: If anyone is interested, there will be an art chat in Station Eight [link] every Sunday from 7pm EST to 11pm EST. We'll be talking about what's selling and what's not, as well how best to promote your art!

NOTE FROM THE ARTIST:
PLEASE do not COLOR or MODIFY my art work!! The best way to improve your own art is to practice, practice, PRACTICE!

MGC [link] has a new topic: 50s & 60s

See the Ariana & Kirin AMV on YouTube: [link]
(And big kudos to ~Mizukiki for making it!)

I miss my old yoga teacher. She was a tiny 70ish British lady who could still hook her foot around her neck. It made you feel a bit sheepish about complaining so no one ever did.

[Spooky]Last Amusing Escapade = When Spooky was having drinks with Duncan Katz and Tawnee startled him by coming over and leaning over his shoulder to ask if everything was all right.

Yeah, right. Rub it in, will you?

Its been really interesting to read about all your different characters. I hope my questions have been helpful to your brain. Did the meme jumpstart your writing like you wanted it to?

Actually, I spent the weekend writing answers and not much else. *L* I actually had to look up some of old stories and you know, I was pretty good!

Haha, funny how stuff like that turns out at times. Maybe after you have recovered from answering all the questions, then youll find the inspiration you need to keep on writing. I hope so; that Koiji cliffhanger is killing me

[Ariana] Last Amusing Escapade = She followed Kirin away from the fight at the dojo and forced him to go to the party at the beach with her. While there, she managed to persuade Kirin into doing the London play with her.
I wonder if Kirin once did something to make Ariana happy without being forced or persuaded by her. From my point of view, all the things Kirin did to make her happy involved being "pinned against the wall" by her.

[Kirin] Biggest fear = That he won't have a future with Ariana.
As long as Kirin allows himself to be the caged bird of Kai, i'm quite sure Kirin's future is to live in a dead, sterile and miserable world. To the hell if Kirin is afraid that Kai will strip of his honors if he counteract Kai. Kirin must realize that he lost something more precious that honor. he lost 30 years of his life.

Thank you for answering my question about Kirin!! Have a good writing

Actually, Kirin is so used to conceding to the greater good, when he's confronted with something new, he tends to back away until he's more sure about it. Ariana sees this and refuses to let him.
