Vampire Friday: Vampire Heart part 18


I'm feeling a bit sick. Here is what happened: I was walking to work yesterday like normal and suddenly, as I reached the wood, it started to rain, not the little rain but the heavy drop thunder storm type of rain. So, of course, I arrived at work 15 minutes later totally soaked to the bone. And of course stayed wet all day long. So now I have a sort of headache. And, unfortunately, I don't have Viorel's healing abilities, nor do I have a philosopher stone. I haven't done half of what I planed to do tonight yet. I tried to sleep, but I couldn't so one hour later I'm back up making sure you get your weekly dose of vampire! Just that would deserve a comment on this post, RIGHT? 

Anyway, that nothing can stop our vampire story to continue... Viorel is having a little bit of trouble with our friends the Jäger but that won't really last too long, you know him and his fighting skills, even though he is still in a very bad position.

Final word count for the moment, nothing changed here, I think I might start writing Vampire Heart again once I start running out of material for this blog post series:

Here is today's part. Enjoy! (Don't forget to Enlarge this document in a new window for a better reading experience.)

Thursday Taster 3: Rainbow Catcher

Hello and Welcome to Thursday Taster again. (Thursday cinema will be up later on today.) Talented writers from all over the blogosphere gather together to give readers tasty parts of their work in progress, you can find the list here
 
As I'm currently working on the edits of Rainbow Catcher, that's the project I will be presenting until it is ready. Today, we continue right where we left off last week. As it's under editing, if you see anything funny, hit me on the head in the comments. 
 
Jason turned the TV off and stood up.
Time for you to sleep and time for me to go to work,” he said.
Can’t you stay a little longer,” Clarissa pleaded with puppy's eyes, but these eyes didn’t work on Jason anymore. He knew better what was good for her.
I’ll be back when I’m done, you know it, as soon as I can,” he said, “if you have a problem use the dialophone.
I don’t like this dialophone, your voice sounds all funny in it and I can’t even see half of your face,” Clarissa answered putting.
That’s because you slept on it again, I’ll repair it tomorrow, now it’s time to sleep,” Jason said, putting the dialophone back on the night table, wondering why she would always sleep with it without calling him.

Jason walked out of the room, turned off the light and closed the door gently before putting his back against it and taking a deep breath. It was more and more difficult for him to part with Clarissa. Every day that passed could be the last and he wondered what he would do if she was to die before he came back. 

He had had a long discussion with the doctor about the rainbow and the operation. He didn’t want to alarm Clarissa so he never told her the real outcome of it. But she was getting worse, more quickly than ever. She needed the rainbow and fast. And this time he didn’t care about the means, so he went to the black market. It was illegal and considered stealing as the rainbow didn’t go through the general government taxation process, but emergencies required emergency measures.

The man he had seen that day was not the kind of man that you could fine in the phone book. When he entered the bar, he was sweating and repeatedly trying to wipe his forehead with an handkerchief already wet. His suit seemed too small for his large stomach. The grey color made him look like an undertaker, and he was clearly not far from it. Jason had placed the red rose he had asked for on his table, it was the sign that he was the guy he should meet.
I’m…” Jason started.
No names,” the man answered with a low voice, looking around as if he feared to be heard.

Camp NaNoWriMo July 2014 Official WINNER

 
I'm writing a sort of science fiction story. I know, it's not my usual thing. It has new characters and new settings and new goals, and I call it "sort of science fiction" because it's science fiction, but there is so much more to it, especially in the relationship between people in a family, interactions with divorced parents, between siblings... 

It's a little bit more difficult to write than when I deal with Sahel and his friends, but it's a lot of fun, and it's also a new way for me to grow as a writer. I think one of the reasons why it's more difficult is because my main character has spent most of her life hiding her true thoughts and beliefs to her family and people around her, and she is now in a position where she can step free, aka going to university, live by herself... 
Anyway, this new story which curiously doesn't have a title yet made me once again a Camp NaNoWriMo winner. I don't know when that will stop. I was thinking about taking a break from writing, maybe because it was hard, but apparently I'm also getting idea about the next book(s) in the Demon Series. So I'm not sure when I will take that break even though I sort of really need a holiday.

The Camp NaNo story is about a girl who can travel to parallel universes in her mind. Isn't it cool? Well, I guess that depends on what kind of universe you arrive. I mean in some she's lucky and in some a bit less. The other problem is that she faints/blacks out every single time, sometimes in rather inappropriate places and it makes her mother totally freak out. I don't think anyone ever had that many brain scan taken.
It's interesting to write because it gives endless possibilities for the life and challenges of all the characters in different universes, and who is here and who isn't. 
In the following, I just sent Frederique to that universe because she was annoying me. No! No! Really! I swear, I do take revenge on my characters. It is a part that has almost nothing to do with the travel she takes into universes which have something to do with the plots, but it still has a key point just after the end.

Unedited Excerpt: (Frederique is the Main character and Jonas her seven years old brother she is picking up at school.) 


"You are not going to faint again, are you?" Jonas said with a light of worry in his eyes.
"Of course not," I answered before seeing the sky again. It was filled with grey clouds. I thought Jonas caught me and I blinked three times. Why did I have to travel just now, that was a lot more in a day than I was used to.

"Just caught it this time, at this rhythm we are going to lose," someone said in front of me and she started to run toward someone else with a different T-shirt.
We were playing, handball and I was goaly. I was never on a team, I was never good at any sport and I was probably out of shape and that other girl was running straight at me and my team was never to be seen. I could see exactly why I was here, my other self was a damn idiot and wanted to avoid the ball at all cost. The ball hit me right in the face and hit the ground in front of me before I could lay down on it. I had it, I had it.
"Frederique are you ok? Frederique, wake up!" Jonas' little panicked voice said.
I was laying on the ground and he was pushing tuft of hair away from my forehead. I blinked again to make sure I was totally back.
"I'm fine," I said.
"You went back to the spaceship," Jonas asked grinning.
"I went to a bloody handball match and they threw the ball straight to my face," I said.
Jonas giggled. 
 



And here are my stats, not as smooth and glorious as usual, but I still made it. Now I just have to keep going for about 30 to 50k to finish the novel.
