Blood Among the Roses

Blood Among the Roses- Chap. 7 Chapter 7 The rest of the weekend had passed and there had been no sign of Felix anywhere. Candice had not seen nor heard from him since the incident at the blood drive Saturday morning, and even now on Monday, she did not plan on encountering him at all. Just the thought of what had happened, what he said to her, did to her, and how he eventually vanished without a trace had gotten to her. She could hardly foc Blood Among the Roses- Chap. 7

Blood Among the Roses- Chap. 6Chapter 6
Sunlight swept across the campus grounds early the next morning, illuminating the dew covered blades of glass like petite lights embedded into the earth. A few birds sang from the tree tops above, a few amber leaves descending from branches that were now beginning to bare. It had grown slightly cooler now that the autumn weather was finally setting in, sending a draft through the dorm rooms that had been located at the far end of campus.
Candice grasped the window slightly, tugging down as it locked into place to stop the brisk air from seeping into their room. She chafed her arms gradually, gl Blood Among the Roses- Chap. 6

^{My 2009 NaNoWriMo novel

After earning a scholarship, Candice begins her freshman year at Westford University as a college newspaper writer. While there, she befriends Felix, a vampire who does all he can to hide his true identity from her, and Fenrir a lovable werewolf who has been Felix's friend basically forever, equally attempting to hide himself. Things go well for the three, until a dark new student arrives to their college and sets everything off balance. Now that his eyes are on Candice, Felix and Fenrir must decide whether or not they should keep secret what they had for their love of Candice, or risk losing her love in order to save her.}

Of Sins and Sailors

O.S.A.S: Book 3- Chapter 1January 24th, 1723- Barcelona, Spain
The wind whipped violently against the sails of ships harbored along the wharf, violet skies glinting with faint stars overhead. Snow had been falling quite often over the last month, a new shower appearing to descend every day. The nights had grown bitter, far worse than many of the inhabitants had remembered. Winter surely was going to be longer than intended. Across the wharf, the clopping of hoof beats could be heard through the evening. Other than the wind and the occasional sails flapping, the rhythm of the hooves were all that could be heard. Snow blew briskly i O.S.A.S: Book 3- Chapter 1

O.S.A.S: Book 2- Chapter 1December 17th, 1722-Barcelona, Spain The bitter air wafted across the shoreline into the coastal tenancies surrounding the harbor. It was just as any other winter was in Barcelona; the frosty winters contrasting the blistering summers. Nevertheless, ships were still cast off from the harbor no matter the season, so that goods could be exchanged with other coastal towns across the sea. Not only were ships from the Spanish residents dispatched from the anchorage, but other countries would have their voyagers dock within the wharf as a place of rest. However, a departure was going to be taking place from the icy marina u O.S.A.S: Book 2- Chapter 1

GreedThe tainted heart shall cause the eyes to bleed, The golden bloodshed of your greed…
He lost his soul the day it began, The day on those shores his ship it did land, With a heart which forgot how to love.
He came to pillage, And ransack our village, All for the greed of the trove.
His eyes they were smoldering, From lies they were moldering, A lust which fed him his fate.
His desire roaring like thunder, From the townsfolk he did plunder, The riches of the fool's bait.
Pushing off through the storm, With wind sails Greed

Rock Star RevelationsMelody flares from withered strings, Strummed out by blistered fingers, And lead by the beat on the drums. Like thunder do the cymbals crash, Sticks whipping the surface of torn drums, The keys of electronic passion humming. Change the pitch and watch the tune shift, Follow along with a gentle touch to keys, Siren song guiding them all. Her voice echoes through the empty hall, Sorrowful but strong, Mind wrapped in memories of her past. The lights ne’er flash on, No cheers to meet the finale, Only the dark hope found in the revelations of a rock star. Rock Star Revelations

The Sun and Moon“The sun and moon, They sing a tune, In the depths of the cold winter’s night. Be still my sweet, For in dreams we shall meet, Until we both wander in the light.”
Spectre latched his porthole for the night, golden brown eyes growing heavy from the endurance his day had brought him. It had been yet another failed attempt of regaining his redemption, and being able to travel into the light to be with his beloved family. Far too long had he been stranded on this forsaken island, and by now, he frankly had witnessed enough. Climbing in The Sun and Moon

^{It's halfway through NaNoWriMo and I've only written around 11,000 words Nevertheless, I'm not going to give up on it. Work's been kind of overpowering- especially with Thanksgiving and the holidays coming up and everyone doing their grocery shopping. The paychecks have been quite nice, though. $200 a week sure is helpful- especially for saving up to transfer to my creative writing university next January (2011). Even though I probably won't finish this story for NaNoWriMo, I'm going to keep at it, and hopefully finish it in December. This was suppose to be the easiest to write out of all my ideas (and the shortest) and I'm not going to be able to complete it in a month. Heh. Hopefully, however, I'll be able to catch up quite a bit over my Thanksgiving break next week. Even though I know I'll have work, I'll be off from college during the day, so that gives me more time to write. Maybe I'll be able to catch up, after all!}Christmas Wish List

^{Name: Erin
Age: 18
Birthday: June 20th
Current Location: New York
Hobbies: Writing novels/poetry, drawing, IMing friends
Occupation: College Freshman and Writer
College Major: Liberal Arts / Creative Writing

I am a college freshman with a major in Liberal Arts/Creative Writing living in upstate New York with my mother, father, and younger brother. My hobbies consist of writing novels and poetry, as well as drawing and IMing my friends. I had many of my writings (both poetry and prose) published, my first piece being when I was 12 years of age, and since then have had many more. In total, I have had 10 poems published, 1 short story, 3 news articles, and 2 novels- and won 1st place with 1 short story and 1st and 3rd place with two poems.
My dream is to become possibly either an editor or literary agent in the future. However, I will continue to write in my spare time, since it's my favorite pastime, and I'm always writing.
I think that my message to everyone is to never give up on your dream- since I pursued my first dream (of getting my novel published and some of my poetry). Only if you give up will your dreams die. If you keep going at it and never give up on yourself, your dreams will come true. You are the only person standing in the way of your desires.

Love you all always,
Erin}

Daily Lit Deviations

^{I am a poetry admin. for =DailyLitDeviations. It is my job along with the other admins of poetry to seek out a literary piece to be chosen daily to be awarded the Daily Literature Deviation of the day. A select few pieces are featured within a news article put out by =DailyLitDeviations, but only one literary piece can be chosen in the end to receive a daily deviation. It is up to the poetry admins to represent the poetry on deviantArt, and find pieces we feel deserve to receive that honor.

Read a poem you feel deserves more recognition? Did it touch you? Do you feel that it was well written and should be a daily lit deviation? Send me a note! I am openly taking suggestions for the next daily literature deviation. Just send me a note in the format proved through =DailyLitDeviations, and I'll consider it to be my choice of the day. You may suggest a piece from someone else, or one from your own gallery. There's nothing wrong with admitting that you're talented! Just read the format on =DailyLitDeviations's page in their journals, and send me a note! I'll be looking forward to the wonderful poetry the literary community has to offer, and hope to bring more recognition to poets across deviantArt!}
