Deceiving Fate

Sparrow

The Reason We Are So Different.

I do not mean you or I.

I mean the fanfiction story I wrote called 'The Reason We Are So Different'. I'm in the works of making it Quinn's first book.

The POV will be made from Scarlett into Quinn's... and a lot of things will dramatically change... For instance, no Death Eaters or Order members.... Harry Potter will be obsolete when I finish it.

Progress:



100 / 117297 (0.09%)


Quinn

Let's get a little background on Quinn Huntra, shall we?


Minka Kelly

I picture Minka Kelly as Quinn for a few reasons.

One: She's got that 'I could be hiding things from you look'.

Two: She looks like one of those girls that it's hard to judge what they like to do on their free time. It's not necessarily a bad thing, at all, I'm just saying she has the mystery quality to her.

Third:  She looks like she can get a job done, with her braid pushing her hair out of her face, and her secretive smile like she knows something you don't.

While she may have dark hair, whereas Quinn Huntra has dark blonde, the looks are about the same, as is the age. Also, she plays a street racer, Eve French, in the Charlie's Angels tv show. So she's got some tough-grit jobs before.

Anyways, just a visual reference:P

'Tis Official!

So guess what I did today?!

...

A word count check. Only three chapters in and guess what!?!?

8645 words, 30 pages, and tearful eyes! I'm so proud of myself!

This is for the Lyra Book 1: Which I've decided to name Sparrow.

In celebration, I present to you....

Decisions, Decisions

So... EL James wrote a piece of Twilight fanfiction that suddenly turned into 50 Shades of Grey.

Cassandra Clare, fans claim, uses pieces of fan fiction she wrote in the olden days (i.e. 2000ish) in her books.

Meg Cabot used to write fan fiction as well, when she was a young-en.

So me?

Ah, that is where the trick comes... I'm thinking of turning Werewolf's Cry into a novel. Or possible, The Reason We Are So Different. I don't know how I could take the Harry Potter out of The Reason We Are So Different, but a few ideas are up my sleeve. Any progress made, and any progress unmade, will be posted here (though not the actual story itself... for obvious reasons)

Obviously I need to fix grammar mistakes as well, as they will be done perfectly in the end(:

Happy writing,
Anastasia

Hello, my lovelies!

What are you going to see in Chapter 5? Oh... well I have some videos I found on youtube that will explain it rather well.

Phase .5 Complete

Hello, again,

Good news! I have completed Chapter Two and am now on Chapter Three! I've taken to using a program called Celtx, which is magnificent and I totally recommend it! I can keep a log of every character used, where I used them, and even locations, upload pictures of what I visualize them as.

It's very useful for a scatterbrain like me.

Introductions are in order, I believe

Hello, fellow bloggers, and blog readers!

My name is Anastasia! I grew up just about... everywhere really. Experienced cultures from extremely inviting to extremely cold, climates seasonal and tropical year round, and traveled pretty well (with hopes to travel a lot more), I consider myself very grateful to know and to have seen what I do. I hope one day to be an accomplished author, historian, and archaeologist. Currently fluent in only English, I am studying the French and Russian languages, with bits and pieces of Italian and Swedish thrown in. My absolute dream would be to live in the hills of Scotland or on the cliffs of Ireland (or maybe even in my ancient and nearly forgotten home of one of my ancestors). I've never really written a blog before, as you may be able to tell, but I do love writing. It's all I do all summer, winter, spring, and autumn long! I've known I wanted to be a writer since... well, since I've known how to write! Over the years, I've watched my writing improve, and although I know it's not the best, I know it's better than before. I've been posting stories of my own - well, if you can call fanfiction that, as it's really the original author's work - for about three years now on the internet and it's a small step towards being closer to my goal.

Well, today is the official day I began writing my first book.
