Six Sentence Sunday 11.o4.12

First I want to say that I wish for the safety of those who were effected by the hurricane this week. It breaks my heart to see the devastation left in the wake of that storm. My hometown of Rochester, only saw rain and high winds that knocked over trees and power lines, but nothing like along the coast. I was born and raised in New York, so apart of me will always be a New Yorker. NYC was always like a second home, and if we had not moved to California three months ago, we would have moved to NYC. 

It is incredibly scary to me that this storm hit so far up the east coast. They simply were not prepared for a hurricane; remnants of a hurricane yes, but not an actual hurricane. I can't even imagine the damage had it been stronger than a category 1. 

There are many ways to donate and help. I ask everyone to please make a small contribution. This NBC webpage has many different organizations that you can donate to. Thank you!

So, I am dedicating my SSS to all the hurricane victims, with all my heart and love :)

Armani pulled her from behind him, walking towards the steel door at the end of the long hallway. Karlea kept up with him without struggling, as she pulled the small stake from her bra. She raised the stake, ready to drive it through his back, into his heart. Armani turned around with his vampire speed and knocked the stake from her hand, immediately pushing her into the wall.

"A valiant effort, I must say." He grinned as he used his speed to pick up the stake, "You're dating a vampire, I expected you to be carrying one on you."

She's really going to be in trouble now! They always make it look so easy to stake a vampire, do they forget that vamps are much much stronger and faster than humans?

Thanks for reading and please comment! I love comments! I apologize if I didn't get to yours this past week, Halloween threw me off and I seem to be catching up on sleep this week. I will go back and read/comment this week. 

One last order of business: If you are in the US, get out and vote on Tuesday!!!!! 

Six Sentence Sunday 1o.28.12

Good morning! I forget about the time difference I now have to deal with here. I woke up thinking I had time to write a blog post, but then remembered I am three hours behind the east coast! Its still so strange to me and I am still not understanding the television schedules here. I really wanted to go back to sleep, I hardly sleep as it is, but here I am writing. 

I am currently bracing myself for my first earthquake, as if I can predict these things, but with the 7.7 quake that struck off the cost of Alaska and Canada and a tsunami warning... I am definitely aware. In my mind, plates of the earth moved, it could cause a rippling effect down the west coast; more plates will have to shift somewhere (hopefully not here).

And go GIANTS!!!! Although I would like them to win the series at home. It is going to be crazy here if they win and I am definitely going to that parade! I wanted to go to the games at home, but if it had been a week later, I could have budgeted for $300 tickets. I am still a Red Sox fan at heart, but I have to support my home team in this awesome place I now live, so they will now be up there with the Sox.

Okay, let's continue on with my WIP, picking up where we left off last week, continuing with Armani's dialog...

"I will make you forget who you are. I will do all that for you and then for me, I will take all your sexual energy and blood."

Karlea was scared; he was going to rape her...and it sounded brutal, before he would drink her dry. She was hoping for a quick death, knowing how some vampires liked to make it torturous but this was going to be anything but quick. She didn't know what to do, what could she do?

Then she remembered the small stake she had lodged between her breasts inside her bra.

Thanks for reading! Please comment! I love comments! And I will always comment back on yours, too :)

Check out other great sixers here.

And if I could ask one more favor...please vote for Nick 13 of Tiger Army on CMT's Pure 12-Pack Countdown. 

I know, I know, I am plugging country music here, but Nick  13's music is actually really good. Its country, but it has this really dark feel to it. I kept hearing people say that it was really good even if you weren't into country, so I decided to check it out. And I have to say Nick 13 is extremely talented! Please vote for him, I promised him he would get to #1 (a spot he clearly deserves) on the countdown. Thanks!

Have a great Halloween! And I wish everyone on the east coast to stay safe from Hurricane Sandy!!!!

Six Sentence Sunday 1o.21.12

Welcome to another Armani-filled Sunday! 

I feel like crap, its been a very exhausting week, that concluded with seeing Tiger Army in San Francisco! 

They are originally from Berkeley, so this was their hometown show and the first of their tour. Adam Carson from AFI guest appeared on drums for two songs! I was hoping for some Davey Havok, but Adam Carson did not disappoint! The pit was crazy and although I did not go in it, I feel like I did. I'm actually lucky the pit didn't envelope me, there were a few times I thought for sure it was going to. I've fallen down in enough pits to know that I didn't want to fall in that one.

On to more hotness, whose name is Armani. This continues right where we left off last week. Armani has the first line, explaining just what a sexual vampire is:

"I not only feed off blood, but sexual energy. You have the best of both worlds, I never thought I would find it."
"What are you going to do to me before you kill me?" Karlea asked, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I told you, I'm going to make you feel the best you have ever felt. I have the power to make you leave this plane of existence and enter into a new euphoric one, a plane you never knew existed."

I think if that was me, I would give in to Armani right there. Something tells me that he wouldn't disappoint.

Thanks for reading! Please comment! I love comments and I always comment back and comment on your six as well. Have a great pre-Halloween, autumn week!

Six Sentence Sunday 1o.14.12

I love Sundays! Actually, I love Saturdays, too because that's when I craft together my SSS. But Sundays, I get to read a bunch of comments! So, thank you everyone who reads and comments every week. 

I apologize for being slow with commenting on other author's six. Every week is crazy for me with five kids, but this week I had my youngest two very sick with some nasty stomach virus. Its a good thing I'm used to not sleeping very much.

So, let's continue this thing with Armani. I know you all are waiting for his answer...

It wouldn't have mattered if you were with someone or not, I would of taken you," Armani stopped abruptly, "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in both my human and non-human existence."

Armani held up her hand and with his other hand just brushed his fingertips with hers as he closed his eyes. "You're sexual energy is intense, even now as you tremble with fear."


Karlea looked at their hands. "How do you...how do you know that?"

Armani smiled, "I am what they call a sexual vampire."

Knowing what Armani looks like, I think I would melt right there :) 

Sorry its so short and there is so much more I want to share. I will definitely be continuing this until readers say they are bored of it, so please when you do get bored with Armani (if ever) let me know. ;)

So, I decided not to do my portfolio review this semester and aim for spring semester. I need more time to make my portfolio as good as it can be and I am seriously thinking of changing my focus from screenwriting to directing. So, since I can't take more classes until I pass my review, I am thinking of getting my Kickstarter campaign going for my novel (the page has been already to go for some time, I just need to hit the submit button). Any money generated helps me finish, edit, publish, and create goodies related to my novel. I'm thinking this may be the time to do it because once I start classes again where I am working on my thesis project, i won't be doing anything else. I am also thinking of doing NaNoWriMo in November again, however I will be cheating and just continuing on with BloodLust, but at least it keeps me writing. I have another novel idea, but I don't want to start another novel until I finish this one. 

Thank you for reading! Please comment! I love comments! I will always comment back and then comment on your six as well. More great authors can be found here. Have a fabulous week!

Six Sentence Sunday 1o.o7.12

Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday for this week. The months just seem to be flying by, I have been living in the Bay Area for 3 months now (and still have boxes and a room to unpack/put together).
I did see this week, a tree that had changing fall leaves. It had half green leaves and then some beautiful red leaves. It was an awesome sight. I didn't think I would see fall leaves here, and you can be sure I will be going back to photograph that tree soon. So fall in the East Bay = much love!

Anyway, I am continuing with my Karlea and Armani situation. Past entries can be found below, if you would like to get caught up on the scene, which I suggest so you know what is going on here. This snippet continues right where the last left off.

Karlea wasn't exactly sure what he meant, but she saw the look in his eyes. She knew, being human, that there was no way to stop him, she was totally fucked at this point. She had known it was risky to go to Flesh alone, but she had to find Vaughn or better yet, Jake; she had to take that risk. And now here she was, at the mercy of Armani, her life in his hands, and something told her that there was no way he was going to be merciful; only Jake or Vaughn could save her from death now, and that didn't look like it was happening.
"Why me - because I was all alone?" Karlea asked.


I so want to keep going. I can tell you that it will get a lot steamier each week. So, if you want more Armani, like I do, keep visiting each Sunday.

Thanks for reading and please comment! I love comments and always reply back and always comment on your six in return :)

Have a great October week!

Six Sentence Sunday o9.30.12

Welcome to another week of six sentences and thanks for stopping by :)

This week's six picks up right where we left off last week - Armani taking Karlea against her will, compelling her to go with with him. When she arrives at his building the compulsion wears off sending her into a panic...(Karlea has the first line after she crashed into him while trying to get away).

"No."
Armani smiled coldly down at her as he wrapped his arm around her; his other hand letting go of hers and clamping the death grip back on her wrist. She began to struggle, but his grip was so strong.
"There's nothing to be afraid of," Armani grinned, "I'm going to make you feel the best you have ever felt before you die. I promise you will give in to me before its over."
He stared down at her as she struggled; she was just so beautiful, and he couldn't wait for her body to be quivering underneath him right before he drank her dry.

Its really not looking good for her or maybe it is. What do you think should happen next? Should someone save her or is she left to try to fend for herself? Let me know.

Thanks for reading and please comment, I love comments! And I will always comment back on yours during the week. Check out more great sixers here.

Six Sentence Sunday o9.23.12

Happy Fall! This will be my first Northern California fall, I'm not really sure what to expect. In Atlanta, leaves didn't change and start falling off of trees until November. Will that even happen here? I'm excited for apples, pumpkins, hopefully falling leaves, and all the fun Halloween activities, vegan food and drink. I should probably start looking into Halloween events for the kids and for the hubby and I, I'm sure SF and the East Bay will have some awesome parties and concerts. Book a babysitter now :)

Anyway, onto Six Sentence Sunday! This week picks up right where we left off last week.

Perfect look for Armani :)

Karlea complied, taking Armani's hand as she stood up. Armani wrapped his arm around her, pulling her into him, as if to keep her warm from the cold wind they were about to face. He held her hand with his free hand, keeping her eternally locked to him as they walked out of the club.
The compulsion wore off as soon as she was in the safety of his building. She snapped out of it immediately noticing the foreign surroundings, and feeling her hand in Armani's as he walked behind her down the long corridor.
In a panic, she turned around, crashing into his chest as his grip on her hand became deathly tight.

Oh, shit...its not looking good for her. What do you think will happen next?

Thanks for reading. Please comment, I love to read comments and will comment back on yours. I usually go through the Six Sentence Sunday list , as much as I can, during the week.
