WISHFUL THINKING

So I went all clean and light colors- with a tinge of bright red and yellow at parts to create a different look to the blog! Some of you liked the old one I know, but I had to change the layout because ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) It was too dark and had a visibility issue (pointed out by a few followers- thanks guys!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2) The whole dark background thing's just not me...I'm a sunshiney gal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3) I LOVE playing with new looks and new designs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4) TwiggX stock's Headphones pack was just SO amazing I had to use that model, and then got inspired to go in for a classy, black and white look with spots of color thrown in ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5) I have decided to go GREEEEN and not BLUEEEE like every other time (the college is having a fest now- Cultaway- and its theme is Go Green. Check out the site here! It's a site worth checking out) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Am I gushing?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6) I wanted those...

So I couldn't help myself and wrote just a bit of Shahnoi even though I was supposed to be devoting myself to finishing Shaded Grey! It's all you guys and the support you give! Shaded Grey has now crossed 50 followers! To celebrate, I will be announcing my plans for a new kinda award soon... For now, this is the new book I'm planning on writing. I'm repeating the little blurb I gave that day- just so anyone who missed it can catch up-  Ru Rennan came to the Shahnoi Valley with the carnival that only comes once in every twenty years. He has no past, no present and no foreseeable future. He is a young man with only his name for comfort, and a way of arresting everyone who speaks to him. He is the carnival’s freak- predicting easily what’s in everyone’s pockets, reading minds, reading feelings. He is the only one who stayed behind as the town’s newest permanent resident in one hundred years. He is the only one who knows that the ghost who haunts Shahnoi, the Dark Nevvie...

So I was thinking that I should do a new header, since the one that's on the site was made for a time when the site was just for my novel Shaded . In the recent poll I did, as to if I should post reviews and other posts or not, all 22 votes said YES . It was a very unanimous decision, and I will humor that. This new header is done with the help of all the stock providers from  Deviant-Art  whom I owe a million and whom I will credit in the new and upcoming ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS page on the blog. I sort of like this- and I want to know if you do! If a lot of people do, I will put it as the new Header on the blog and change the layout! (Looks a little smushed because it is smaller than the original size. Click to see the original size!)

The purpose of this artwork is double! One is participating in a competition for amateur art designers by a new and upcoming digital art magazine. The theme of it is Digital Haunting, and I thought I would do something like this! Truth be told, it’s a little inspired by the cover of Anna Dressed in Blood, but of course, it’s a different picture altogether, and I did spend a considerable amount of time cutting the house and the model from their backgrounds! Again, I may use this for my new story in progress (mind-progress, I’m writing Shaded by hand and also typing it) which I will call- for now- “ SHAHNOI” after the town in the story. It’s a paranormal fiction , but I’ve steered far from vampires, demons, angels and werewolves.

Yayy!Continuing the story...  Installment 4: Where a Race is Run STORY SO FAR:   Ani Raye has been asked to appear for an appointment at her principal's office. This  is a strange request and she finds herself wondering what could possibly await her behind his orange door. In the school cafe, she meets with her best friend Khyran (K) and her trainer Stratten. K and her mother substitute Willa is also introduced. Leaving the c afe, she meets a servant girl Jina, who tells her to give a note  to K. In the note is written the words If I talk to you, and they catch me, They won’t sack me or tell me to go home. They will kill me as a lesson to others like me. Spooked, Ani runs into two of her Trainers who ask her to run a race. My feet crunched against hot concrete. I was barefoot enough that I could feel the heat lick at my soles. Dusk was falling but the heat hadn’t broken yet. Pale sunlight still shone stubbornly through fragments in the multi-hued sky, gold s...
