http://www.writerscafe.org/NConway422 The original writings of author Nicole en-us Copyright 2013 Aresta Enterprise LLC 1369446433 WritersCafe.org RSS Generator 15 A poem written for the woman who stands and waits for her returning love, a man who risks his life for his love and his country. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/935108/ It's taken me a long time to really get a handle on this story. When I first thought of it, I was only 12 and lacked the skills to put it down into words effectively. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/720172/ I feel as though the aeterni were my own children for how much I love their history, lore, and characteristics. They are, by far, my best creation. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/676327/ Vay really takes on a sense of charm in this chapter that he's been capable of the entire time, it's jut remained unrealized. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/669860/ I've been really busy lately, too busy actually to get any writing done. But here is another piece from an older favorite of mine. :) http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/669856/ An ode to the rose, which speaks in it's simple presence a thousand words of love and adoration. It sings to us the song of love at the cost of it's own slow death. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/644469/ I think what draws my readers to Vayden is more than his sex appeal though; he's got that element of the unknown to him that gives us a femanine thrill of excitement. Total bad-boy syndrome. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/643217/ Vayden's appeal as a male is very very grounded in sensuality and a mysterious darkness about him. He's chaotic and impulsive, nearly feral. I've found my female readers think this is sexy lol. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/643215/ Caerwyn is not my favorite character, in my opinion she is far too weepy, but she's an effective storyteller and good for Vayden. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/643213/ Eran and Lirrah are difficult to dislike, which was my intention, for even though their positions are conflicting with the events of the romance, they aren't bad characters. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/643212/ I struggled to find a name for the aeterni for a long time, but finally derived the name from some of the latin grammar I'd studied in high school. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/643209/ Albinus and Silvanus have an interesting relationship that is deeper than it seems initially. Their history spans back to their childhood and despite their faults, they remain loyal to each other. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/643207/ Though the setting and scenario of this story has evolved a lot over the years, Silvanus has never changed. He is as he's ever been. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/643206/ Silvanus, out of all of the many characters that I've created over the years, still stands to be my greatest creation. He is my brainchild and a man after my own heart. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/642837/ My masterpiece that I've been working on for 7 years. A fantasy-romance-adventure novel I've rewritten at least 4 times. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/642835/ I've been so pleased to finally start really developing Sam's character. He will play such a pivital role in the next book. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/641822/ A song I wrote about my husband. :) http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/635293/ Inspired by Iacoboni's "Mirroring People" http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/635280/ This chapter really is the turning point for the novel and I'm a little intimidated by what's going to come next. A lot is going to start happening in a short amount of time. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/635246/ God I love this book...lol! Every chapter I write makes me fall in love with the characters all over again! I only hope everyone else is enjoying it as much as I am! http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/626817/ I've never actually written myself as a character into a story...hm. Maybe I should? I'd say Charly from Dervyshire is about as close as any character to being somewhat like me. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/624527/ I model my characters, or most of them, from people I know. This particular book, since Lirrah was modeled after my dear friend Emily, was dedicated to her. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/624526/ Reading the steamy scenes in this book always gets me all worked up...lol which my husband appreciates XD http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/624524/ Written about the 10th grade I think. It went along with a book I was writing at the time, I believe. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/623862/ Written in about the 8th grade. An oldie but still chilling. I think I had a lot more audacity back then, lol. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/623859/ Life's coming down on my really hard lately; it's hard to find time to write. :( http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/621929/ A poem written for the woman who stands and waits for her returning love, a man who risks his life for his love and his country. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/618567/ I was actually torn between Eran and Vayden myself, even as I wrote the story. Of course, I'd always intended for Vayden to be the victor in Caeri's affections, but Eran is hard to dislike! http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/617370/ I envisioned this story might make a very good movie or something...but I wonder who would play Vayden? http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/617366/ Honestly, I don't remember what this was supposed to be about but I had an ongoing fascination with Drizzt when I still had enough time to do independent reading. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/617363/ Part 2. This was as far as I got, unfortunately, but maybe I'll go back and finish it someday. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/617359/ For Lorelle was intended to be a mini-sequel to anther book I was writing at the time, dealing with one of my favorite characters, Albinus. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/617358/ Intended to be a love story written about a forest nymph's (tree-spirit's) love for a human girl. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/617354/ A collection of story-snippets that I either began and never finished, or got distracted and began writing something else instead. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/617332/ A paper I wrote for my Literary Postmodernist Theory class concerning the viewpoints of Derrida and Foucault. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/617322/ Written a long time ago. Probably one of my McDonald's works. haha http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/615707/ It took me several months to finish this novel and it's definitely one of my more lengthy pieces. I usually don't write such long chapters because then I get bored. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/615698/ Vayden is an old favorite of mine and I adore how unstable and chaotic he can be. He's like a dark, dangerous storm of furious male sexiness. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/615696/ Caerwyn is not one of my favorite female characters because she's hard to write for, but she's entertaining. I actually modeled her after a friend of mine. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/615693/ The house of De'Monia is consumed by the cruel thorns of secrecy, the young handsome lord Vayden lost therein until the day lady Caerwyn darkens the door of his estate. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/615690/ When I listen to the music that I use to meditate before I write a chapter, I fall in love with this story all over again. It's nice to get it off my chest; it's been nagging at my heart for a while. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/614791/ Sam Elrod has really evolved during the process of rewriting this novel again. I've debated on taking his story further and writing a sequel that follows his life after this one ends. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/614273/ Taylor Swift's song, "Love Story" was my initial inspiration behind the romance between Randolf and Charlotte. It's one of my favorite songs. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/612139/ My personal favorite. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/611654/ I believe I actually wrote this one while I was working at McDonald's. I used to write poetry while I was working at the back drive-thru window. XP http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/611649/ To now answer the questions posed in this poem...yes he did and yes he does. :) http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/611647/ I came up with the idea for the Archangels while I was sitting in my cubicle at work. I thought, "What if there was a clone that could sit here for me so I could go home?" http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/611623/ I love the fonts available on 1001fonts.com. I like to try to write in one that reminds me of how the speaker might have written, especially when the voice is in first person. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/611602/ Katia is one of my favorite characters to write for. Her relationship with Randolf is a complex one, but they manage well together and their interactions are always interesting. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/611520/ Wren is 15 when the story begins and her older sister, Sparrow, is 18. Their mother named them both after birds because she wanted them to believe no one could ever cage their spirit. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NConway422/611353/
